10 Days of Huma: 7 Wants
February 6, 2011 5 Comments
Day 4 of Huma’s Challenge (yes, I’m a few days behind, but SIMMER DOWN). This could very easily be like my loves…. Mila Kunis, Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams, but that’s a cop out. Now, without further ado:
1. Soccer. This is a catch-all category. I want to watch a Manchester United game at Old Trafford. I want to be at a World Cup and watch a game. And above all, my dream job is to coach a professional soccer team.
2. A cat of my own. We have a family cat, that likes me best (seriously). But it’s not MINE. And I want one that is MINE. I even have a name picked out for it: Chairman Meow. If it has kittens, I have back up names set out: Holmes, Tort, and Sir Ryan.
3. A nice car. I blame Top Gear for this one. I love this show, and every time I see it I want a new car. I know lots of people like cars, but for you few astute readers, you’ll remember that one of my loves is driving. To accomplish that, one needs a nice car. I had a 2009 Mazda3 in college, and it was BRILLIANT. It went zoom zoom, it had a kick ass sound system, and it was MINE. But I sold it (to my brother, so I still drive it every now and then) when I came to law school, because having a car in DC is a waste of space and money. Top of my list: an Audi R8.
4. Travel. I love traveling. But there are a few places I want, no, NEED, to go to. They are: Rome. Terracotta Soldiers. Venice. Machu Picchu. Kashmir (I’ve apparently been there, when I was about 9 months old. I was told my dad dropped me while hiking and I rolled down the Himalayas – but I don’t remember being in the place my mom described as “the most beautiful place on Earth”).
5. Be more of a people person. True story: I was at a bar about a year ago, and I was approached by two really good looking girls. We chatted, then I said “nice meeting you, I need to go do homework”. I left the bar, then immediately it struck me that I AM AN IDIOT. This needs to be fixed.
6. To learn how to make a proper Long Island Ice Tea. I am a pretty good amateur bar tender, if I do say so myself. I can layer shots, I’m good at improvising, and my selection is nice. But I can’t make a LIIT to save my life.
7. I want to be rich. This is shallow, but I do. Growing up, my two best friends were gajillionnaires. I didn’t know it then, but looking back, those weekend trips to Bali, New Zealand, etc. paid for by them should have rung a bell. I got a taste of that kind of life, and I want it for my kids. And, well, for me.

CHAIRMAN MEOW. AHAHAHAHAHA. 😀 I love it!
And OMG that bar story. That is SO cute. 😛 I’m sure you were just KICKING yourself.
And damn, weekend trips to Bali?! WTF? I want your childhood. 😛
That bar story is a huge embarrassment. I feel so dumb about that… I had to turn in my MAN license, and am one week into my probationary period to get it back.
2. Cats are evil. And I’m allergic. I’ve always said that even if I wasn’t allergic, they’d still be evil. Even if they weren’t evil, I’d still be allergic. Either way, I really hate cats. But rock on that you like them.
4. Rome is awesome. Venice is pretty cool, but also kind of dirty. I desperately want to go to Machu Picchu. Kashmir sounds awesome.
7. ME TOO. How do we make this happen?
PS, Team Rachel McAdams. And Team Mila Kunis. Natalie, eh.
2. I’m allergic too, but i suppose I’m a glutton for punishment. And yes, they are evil. But they’re also ridiculously cute.
4. I’m jealous you’ve been to Italy. I NEED to go there. We should plan a trip to Machu Picchu and Kashmir sometime.
7. I dunno, but if I come up with an idea I’ll let you know.
PS, does this mean that if I find Natalie, I don’t have to share?
Natalie’s all yours. Well, except for that fetus she’s carrying, and her fiance and all that stuff.
