    I would like tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

    Which will also require plane tickets to London.

    A Christmas in London would be great.

    I don't care much for HP.

    I want absolutely nothing. I'm trying to get rid of stuff as it is.

    I don't mind meeting with family and all, but I want no more stuff.

    Oh, maybe some meals from the cooking thread, but that's all.

    some place where i can build anything i want and am allowed to live there
    and not need a car to get to the store in order to either.

    very inexpensive public transportation serving places that don't look like cities.

    This whole holiday is jacked up. When my daughters were old enough to understand I told them that Santa wasn't real and Christmas is a pagan celebration they were probably about 3 years old. I do not celebrate it at all and haven't for 10 years or so.

    the complete (and peaceful) collapse of the dominance of aggressiveness and the rise of true civilization in place of it.

    an end to the myth of normality and its replacement by universally mutual consideration.

    an end to people being so insecure about their own beliefs, that they feel like they have to convince everyone else to believe the same things.

    a world that allows and encourages everyone to create and explore as they were born to.

    if i can wish for anything i want, why should i not wish for the kind of world i really want to live in?

    i want to live where i can build anything i want and live in it. where people don't hate logic, equate thoughtlessness with freedom, or imagine aggressiveness to be doing the world any favors.
    if any of that sounds altruistic, that's ok, but i'm not saying it to be, but because its what i really want.
    and not because of some religion that has very little to do with what i personally believe.

    there are things i want, technology things, but i would need what i've just said to have room for them and a place to enjoy then.
    i live in a very small place and the computer makes it good.
    but it is surrounded by pavement with no place for a garden, and while it only has one wall with a neighbor on the other side of it,
    and i've been very lucky and thankful they've been someone very quiet, i would rather have a garden and no wall with a neighbor on the other side of it,
    even if my house were only a very small shed. and i would rather be closer to trains going by then cars.
    and a forest but still close enough to groceries or cheap enough bus or trolley that gets me there often enough and all the time.

    a world where the very old and the very young can feel safe and not have to worry about people who want to live in a world where no one would be.
    that gets back to consideration and logic. the less considerate people are of each other, the less pleasant their world is to live in.
    beliefs and ideologies don't change that, and people thinking they can make everything better by forcing theirs on everyone else only make it worse.

    i just want to be an old man playing with his trains and computers and meditating, and i am all of that mostly,
    when some drunk doesn't wander by screaming and crying about how a world his or her own inconsiderateness
    has statistically contributed to creating, is picking on him.

    i would love to be able to sit out in a garden on a nice day, watching kittens playing and chasing each other, or little trains.
    in winter to watch rotary snow plows clearing the tracks, from inside where its warm with good things to eat.

    about those technology things, i would like 3d printers to print much finer detail and faster then they do now.
    and a lot more shelf space, work space, and model world space, then the whole space i live in.
    but as long as i've got a fridge, microwave, bed, desk, and bathroom with running water, i guess i'm mostly ok.

    oh, i could use a better chair, or a couple of them, to replace what i'm amazed hasn't fallen apart entirely.
