What would you like to do, but can't?

Undertoad · 04-03-2009, 01:46 PM

I can't do small talk at parties. I can't remember people's names.

I can't play keyboard, although I have wanted to all my life.

I can't lie on my resume. I would crumple on interviews if I was asked about it.

I would like to go to cooking school but can't right now, maybe someday though. I would also like to be a rally car driver, that's just not gonna happen.

Sing, dance, and run without people laughing at me.

Pie · 04-03-2009, 01:55 PM

Clodfobble · 04-03-2009, 03:15 PM

I wish I could play piano.

Trilby · 04-03-2009, 03:25 PM

I'll have to go with flying and being invisible, too.

I'd also like to write a killer-catchy song like Everyone's Had More Sex Than Me, Numa Numa or the Bananaphone song.

classicman · 04-03-2009, 03:27 PM

I can't remember people's names.
I can't forget a face.
I can't play ANY instrument - at all.
I can't dance (a blind, 1 legged turtle has more rhythm than I)
I can't sing :'(

Queen of the Ryche · 04-03-2009, 03:30 PM

oh, and paint like Case.

classicman · 04-03-2009, 03:32 PM

Be an African-American woman for one month. To experience all of the horror, pain, and suffering both groups have to deal with every day. To know what it means to be black it today’s world, and to have dealt with the daily assault of sexual harassment would help me be so much more empathetic. It would also make me a better person, countryman and world citizen. And the best part is when I hear someone complain that “you just don’t understand” what it’s like to have a period, to deal with hormones, or to be discriminated against…I can just simply say Bullshit!

It also would be nice to do this as Halle Berry or Thandie Newton because they rock!

Yznhymr · 04-03-2009, 05:20 PM

Oh, being invisible, or being able to grow a certain appendage to any size or shape (as in Mr. Fantastic's powers) would be cool. But if we stay out of fantasy land, then I wished I could sing better, play the guitar, speak 5-6 other languages fluently, be able to work on the car without rapping my knuckles, and always have the right answer when my kids ask me a question...those would all be good.

Beestie · 04-03-2009, 05:34 PM

I wish I could workout four times a week for a period longer than one lousy month.

I wish I could remember anything I wanted to anytime I wanted to.

DanaC · 04-03-2009, 08:38 PM

I wish I could nail my mind to the subject at hand...I wish I didn't find it so hard to concentrate for any length of time on anything not connected to my own little fantasy world. I'd like to have more stamina for work.

On a lighter note: there are about 6 languages i'd love to be able to speak. Not just speak, but be fluent in. Also I wish I'd learned the violin instead of the flute when I was younger.

I'd like to be able to lose myself in dance when others are about. If I am dancing in I always become very consciouis of my dancing and that spoils it:P Actually, I'd lke to be a better dancer too lol.
