I'm hankering for that porch goddess I saw on your earlier beach thread. And a bottle of Wolf Tree Rhubarb Wine. Yep. In that order.
Not me I wouldn't want to re-live my first time. It was as terrifying as it was disappointing. Yeah, and when she asked me afterwards what I thought I just blurted it right out like she really wanted to hear the truth. <her> So what did you think? <me> Not all it's cracked up to be, is it? She busted out in hysterical laughter. I still don't understand.
freedom of mobility without having to indenture yourself to a car, the one good thing the u.s. had in the 50s that it since threw out with the bath water, and most of the developed world and even some of the lest developed world did and continues to do a better job of keeping, although in some parts of the u.s. this is being reinvented to a limited degree. even where numerically greater, still a tiny percentage. i mean that's the one thing, and just being able to get to those smaller paces at all. the other things, i think i've probably mentioned most of them, in no particular order. unlimited internet would be the next best thing, that would let me wander all over the world with the google satilite and watch (and upload) unlimited youtube and vimeo videos. but even that of course, would never be as good as actually being able to get there, all the little magical places, and be able to live in one as i once did growing up, without having to indenture myself to a car. also not ever having to hear some other asshat's cellphone or television or whatever the hell it is.
one way transparent walls and a good view of trains going by through a forest full of little furry creatures. the ability to choose where to teleport to. not being distracted from the garden in my mind, but being able to let anyone wander around in it. plenty of nice places to sit and watch the trains, and places to make things too. no one telling me what kind of feral creatures i may be allowed to go in and out where i live. to never have to be surrounded by streets for cars nor where i have to see another parking lot. to live on a rez, with little trains to ride on and a good internet connection, and never have to milk someone else's goats to be allowed to live there, or at least have a decent facility for them and me to do so. i don't mind building what i'd like to see, if anything i would absolutely love to do so. although i'm getting to be where it might be just as well to let someone younger. i want to not want too much, but i want what i want to not be too much. some of it at least anyway. part of this is in my memories, all of this i've lived in dreams.
there's still long john silver's around. not as many as there were in the 80s. fast food fried fish, not great but basically a u.s. fish n chips chain. actually i could go for some tillapia. for some reason unknown, my favorite flavor of fish, broiled, not fried. with rice and mushrooms and stuff like that. although trout and catfish are good too.
I hanker for a work week without our boss being around. Come to think of it, every week is like that!
I'm hankering for a vacation. I'm dying to get away from the stress of this past year and a half. Maybe a nice cabin with no civilization nearby. Cold weather, a nice fireplace and some wine.
never having to hear a human voice when i don't wish to be distracted by one, and not being surrounded by streets and parking lots that just incidentally raise the teperature by another ten degress then what it would be surrounded by trees and natural vegitation. i don't think lawns are the way to go, but fire resistent perenials and also edibles would be. oh and being able to eat a healthier and more diverse diet.
Ice cream apparently... I broke significantly with my plant-based eating arrangement and had mochi (Japanese) ice cream a few times. It's so good, but makes me so fat!
