If you could do anything...
 

Hmm...

If I could do anything in the world, unbound by rules, money, morals and the like, and the only limit being the bounds of my imagination, I'd take a trip to Egypt, then from there fly over to Rome, and next visit Greece. Then I'd find some dense forest to make a nice house in like the one down the street that looks like it belongs in some fancy home brochure. It'd have a nice library and be stocked with all the art supplies I'd ever need with a nice computer. I'd also have a chinchilla, a ferret, a raven, two cats, a Labrador and a collie. The house be big, too. D: Not a McMansion, but still decent sized, with wood floors and big windows with REAL curtains and not these nasty blinds, and it'd be two stories, plus a basement and attic. And from the basement I'd base a control HQ for when the chinchillas join forces with the ferrets for world domination.

Next- with my trusty raven whom I'd have a sudden burst of originality and name Raven and two dogs, Coal and Ra- I'd strike out to cure illness, stop global warming, end world hunger and bring about world peace. Then I'd lull the world into a false sense of security so it'd be helpless when the Ferillas- the end result of breeding chinchillas and ferrets to create an even more deadly and evil breed- rose up to claim their places as Overlords of the world.

Struck with remorse over my betrayal against my entire race, I'd set up a hut on top of Mt. Everest and philosophize over whether or not monkeys and ants were in cahoots in some grand scheme to steal all of the worlds cheese. Deep in thought over this profound, soul moving plot, I'd be approached by my two cats, Talon and Frisket, who had become the leaders of a secret underground resistance against the Ferilla overlords. Their plan to take back Terra was a dangerous one that, if we were caught, would end not only our lives, but would squash all hope of ever regaining control form the Ferillas. And the felines would side with me on this dangerous mission... so long as after we took back the world they were paid in four tons of tuna fish, of which the earth's seas were now overflowing with. Since Raven, Coal and Ra had abandoned me, I'd readily agree to their payment and we'd get started on it right away.

After all this, after fighting my way through a forest of spaghetti trees and meatball bears armed with nothing more then a dull fencing foil and a wooden shield that held a startling resemblance to Link's from Ocarina of Time, after having several high-speed chases on jet planes thousands of feet above a live volcano, and after crawling through more ventilation shafts then I would ever want to count, the cats and myself would eventually reign victorious against the Ferillas and the earth would be given back to it's rightful owners- we humans.

Then I'd retire to my house in the woods where I'd lock my few Ferillas in cages in the basement, where they would be fed twice a day by professional Ferilla handlers, then proceed to write a book about my adventures. After getting published, I'd try to approach a director about getting it turned into a movie, but get turned away because it "wasn't original enough." After that I'd forsake movies all together and never venture to the theaters except to see whether or not the impending Bartimaeus and Artemas Fowl movies were any good.

... At least, until the raptors came from no where and slaughtered all the humans on earth, save the ones who had fled to Australia after witnessing the epic Fighter Jets vs. Pterodactyl battle.

Hey, a girl can dream, can't she? :D

FYI; I have no idea how that went from Egypt and forest house to world domination from Ferillas. Still, that's what I'd do if I could do anything. P:

Why thank you, Gumdrop. ;D I really liked yours, especially the part about swimming in chocolate pudding. XD <3 Though I have decided that I really shouldn't be allowed to do anything, with no limitations. P: It just wouldn't be healthy for the planet.

No rules, no restrictions, nothing?

Well...for one I'd leave this hunk of dirt I'm stranded on. Tell my mother off for screwing me up in the past and make sure she KNOWS I mean it. Leave my job, get my band going, really have some fun with that. Tell off the Hollywood mainstream celebrities and the people constantly covering their failures and shortcomings. Go back to the place I've always wanted to return to. Get a certain hospital closed down. Find my best friend from when I was a kid, apologize for having had to leave him behind so many years ago, really catch up with each other. Travel the world together, pick up my other friends along the way, really spend time together. Actually DO THINGS together instead of just type to each other. Play video games with said friends, go four-wheeler riding, drag them into a ton of stuff that only one other of them wants to do and let them drag me into things they want to do but I don't because our relationship is just special like that. Have a fake, non-legally binding "wedding" with my best friend from when I was younger just to see what it's like (even though neither of us believes in actual marriage). Laugh about it.

...and I have to say, I'd like to add the swimming in chocolate pudding to my list as well. XD

After all this is said and done...

Find some way to create drawback-free near immortality and bestow it upon everyone in my group of friends and anyone else who joins us for the long term. Use some sort of derivation of this secret to cure all currently "incurable" diseases. Bend and shape the world so it will be as close to perfect as one can get it without it being boring...and enjoy it FOREVER.

Or until we all decide "Eh, okay, I'm done."

Whichever comes first.

.... I wonder if it's too late to add 'turn ocean into pudding' onto that list? o3o

I kid, I kid. XD I love your list, Phantom. Much less... "Go ruin life as we know it" then mine. P:

I'd like to be able to see the past, no matter how immediate of the past it is. It's a new form of voyeurism, baby. *Is bricked*

But yeah. Seriously. It would also help in solving crimes and stuff, and help me discover what exactly those strange symbols in the school are.

And by viewing the past, I mean with modes. The past of anyone and anywhere and the ability to either see it as a spectator or experience it as them. Though, not really to change it.

I'd like to get the power, ability or even chance to make a difference in the world, preferably for the better. Or at least that's what I'd start with, getting my name in the history book for something amazing and being remembered long after I died. Then I'd like to go to GameStop and buy ten DS games at once. :D Just because I think it'd be amazing. Unfortunately I'll probably want to do more and such, I just can't think of it right now. ("baww, cry more" right?)

Gumdrop, I'm kind of jealous of how easily you can list off what you'd do though.

Be able to aquire the skill of all dead artists.
Michelangelo and Caravaggio mostly. I would be fine with just them.

I would make it so all the people I loved never had to work again, I'd travel the world and live at my own pace. I'd buy an island and make it run on the midnight schedual, so that people like me could do our errands and such when WE feel comfortable not when everyone else feels like being open.

And I'd personally kick the crap out of the first five homophobes I came in contact with, just because I had the money to get myself out of it.

Hmm, I'd do the obvious (travel the world, take care of my family, etc.) Then I would open a no kill shelter and animal welfare foundation, after that I would root out political corruption. I would buy a house I saw on Capital hill in Seattle, it was beautiful. Probably one in San Francisco too. I would then probably go to school as a career student, I want to know everything.

Sort of like a W(.)WU thing. Only not sideways. Elsa thinks it looks like a face.

@ Gumdrop; Actually both lists are pretty impressive. ^^;; When I made the reply though, I was referring to your list of what you'd do.

I would move to Sweden and buy a house so I could be with the one I love. I would buy my sister a house and a bakery so she could sell the beautiful cakes she enjoys making. I'd make my father all better. I guess that's just the selfish, personal stuff.

Other than that, I'd cure all sickness, save the rain forests, clean up the ozone, eliminate poverty and hunger, fix the economy, clean up all pollution, and wipe out crime entirely.
