What's your perfect life? How do you really want to live? What kind of person do you want to be?

I tell myself I want to win the lottery and find a suger daddy that looks like Angel or Spike, and live a easy sex-filled life, but I think that's too Bella for me. Would get old after a while.

What I think I really want is:

To work with something creative. Not sure why, but I would want to be good at it, and be able to get semi-rich of it. Maybe a comic book artist/writer, to combine my love for writing/books and crafts/art. Or somehow actually get rich from writing poetry (heard that's very hard and rare).

I would want to live in a big city, close to stores and entertainment, but at the same time I would want to have a cabin or something in the woods, since I love being able to be close to nature.

So I would live in a medium sized house/apartment (meaning at least one bedroom, living room, study/office, hobbyroom, giant bathroom with hot tub and two guestrooms), since I want to be able to clean it myself without feeling the need to hire someone to do it for me in case I get too much work.

I would love being able to make friends, and too keep then, Just 3-5 people that I can trust. Maybe babies one day, but I'd rather find a guy (girl?) than have babies right now. Or several guys, since monogamy might be dull. But that might turn out to be too much work : D Of course, if two super hot guys said "Let's make it work" I would try.

I will be wealthy enough to be able to give my family nice presents and give some to charity, but without being so loaded I can't say no when relatives I hardly know ask for "loans".

If possible (I think I would choose a dream job over vacation, but still) I would be able to travel a lot, at least two months per year, wherever I want. But to do that I guess I'd have to be "too" rich.

To get all of these things, I just need ambition. To stop being lazy, get out there, make friends and push myself. But I doubt I'll get a job I'm really passionate about, since I'm more of a "work to live" than "live to work" person. I would love to be able to get friends more easy though. Still putting that off.

So I think that's I'll end up living alone with a couple of cats, in a two room apartment until the day I feel ready to buy a house with a yard (meaning I might be able to get dogs, since I'm too lazy to walk 5 times per day and want to be able to release them into the yard). I think I'll manage getting a few friends, but never be the social butterfly I want to be. I'll have a midlife crises, buy whores and travel (not sure what I'll do with the cats and dogs, maybe leave them with family) get tattoos and do all those things I'm too scared to now.

To prevent this, I've made a bucket list. I think my New Year's resolution will be that I have to cross over something medium sized off those lists (eating a twinkie, which is on one list, won't suffice) per year. Atleast one thing. That will probably mean that I'll just travel to a new country each year, but that's at least something.
 
I don't know what I want. I thought I did but since I've actually got some of it, I'm not so sure. I don't even know where I want to live at the moment, everything is still up in the air. I think that's what being a student is about though so I'm not worried.
 
Hmmmm

I'd love to be a novel writer who gets famous and liked by many. And I'd love if my characters become so popular fans can't but write about them in their fics. It would be cool if my novels get adopted for a movie or a TV show.

I'd love to see my husband gain those millions and billions of money that he always dreams to get and does everything he wishes for with us. He earns a wonderful life after all the sacrifices he'd made for his mother and siblings.

I wanna see my son grow up and becomes a great guy who does what he likes and does it good. I wanna give birth to a daughter. I love girls.

I'd love to meet someone from BtVS -especially Nicholas Brendon. I wanna tell him how much his character has captured me and kept me insane for the past nine years. I've never been this obsessed with a character before and I don't think will with another character in the future. No character will ever reach my insane love for Xander, and all thanks to Nicholas Brendon with his good looks and charming smile and playing Xander with an edge instead of just a goofball. Without those angry Xander scenes, I don't think I'd be in love with him. I like every good and bad quality in the character.

I wanna meet Joss and thank him for giving us permission to play with his characters. I've learned a lot about the English language and writing through my fics and all because of Joss' awesome characters.

I've never been to London. I hope to go there this summer and watch a Shakespeare play, I've never went to a play, I'd love to go to one.

Love your banner. Xangelus, mmmm.
If my wife and I can remain healthy and secure, and we can live long enough to see our grandchildren finished with their education and settled into happy productive lives, then I'll consider that about as perfect as my life needs to be. Anything beyond that isjust icing on the cake.

Of course, having Miss K serve as the maid of honor at Buffy and Spike's wedding wouldn't be something that I would refuse if it were to happen...

Never in an infinity of evers will that happen!
I want to finish university (which I haven't even started yet), become a fashion designer or an editor-in-chief for Vogue,
I want to move to Los Angeles or London with my future husband, who I hope is gonna look like Baptiste Giabiconi :b. I want 4 children - all boys, and I hope they are gonna love football as much as I do (and hopefully their dad).
I hope to meet (His Majesty) Karl Lagerfeld and get even more inspiration from him.
 
Wow. Wanna know my perfect story?

Well, when I finish college I want to move to NY. There I will find some ok job, nothing much, and I'll live in a small apartment. When I collect enough money, I would like to open a small bookstore.. like really small between two large buildings! And I wouldn't sell Twilight! Then one day this man would come in my shop, and ask me a book for his sick mom. I would recomed him something, and eventually we would marry each other.. then when I would be pregnant with our first child (out of four) I would write a book!

Yup. I've got it all figured out!

It's a bit complicated for me. Because ever since I was little, I've always had dreams. And I'm a fantasy girl in nature. Problem is, I beileve that in the moment I acheive all my dreams, there wouldn't be more dreams to dream. And without dreams life isn't life. Dreams give you the drive to want to keep living for your wishes. The moment you have no dreams, it's like you die. That's how I see it. Does it make sense though?

Up until this year I have always wanted kids, I'm not so sure anymore though. Maybe my mind will change again.

I just want a cliche' life with lots of cliche haha, and to live it fully.

Try to avoid any mental issues. /shifty eyes.
 
Except for a certain problem with my physical presence (that would take a powerful witch to work around), my life is pretty much perfect as it is. 🙂

A witch you say? I think Willow is available
Dreams I want to acheive and can reasonably do:

Get and finish a nursing degree, and specialise in nutritional therapy for learning difficulties. Hopefully also do research and studies and come through with something that could help people.

Marry the man and have two kids of our own, and adopt two more.

Make enough of a decent living to be able to support my family and hopefully my bloke would only have to work part-time so he can focus on being a dad and furthering his recovery from mental illness.

Dream life would be to move to Africa or Kerela. Or Las Vegas. xD
 
I used to think about my dreams in terms of my "perfect life." But then I found it kept getting depressing because no one's life is ever perfect. So I went to thinking about them as dreams instead.

A dream of mine is to be an actress. Also a writer. I came up for this idea for a show about your conscious. It's my dream to be able to make that show a reality. It would be called Claire's Choices. It's also my dream to make and star in a movie I've written called Marching Band: The Movie and also Resurrection: The Second Resurrection. Resurrection takes a back seat to Marching Band. I'd rather make Marching Band any day but it's my dream to make them both.

I want to meet a woman who loves me as much as Spike loves Buffy and marry her. I want to have three kids... but two is fine. And I'd prefer they be girls. Beyond that... There's a lot I want... but nothing else would make it into my "perfect life."

aaaw "as much as Spike loves Buffy".. how cute ^^

That was my favorite part too! It's so "aw"
it's weird reading through all these posts because i don't think i have a plan at all. not a detailed one anyway. at the moment i don't even know where i'm gonna be 5-10 years from now. i live in australia but my family is in europe so i kinda wanna go back there. but i'm starting university soon so i know that's 3 years gone and then i dont know if i have to do a masters degree after that. i kinda take everything as it comes.
i wanna meet someone decent and fall in love and have my life not be all over the place and feel...at peace. for once. at least for a little while.
that's what i'm aiming for right now i'd say.
i don't think i'll ever have any ambitions to be rich and famous. not saying i wanna be poor but it's not a high priority for me. and who wants to be famous these days. being followed by paparazzi all the time...no thank you. lol
 
Nothing extravagant, just peaceful normality.

-Learn to tolerate myself. I'm incredibly unforgiving of my own failings. My life would be a lot easier if that was not the case.

-Buy my own home, preferably on or near a beach.

-Make Lyri buy the house next door.

-Be a good teacher.

-Fall in love, get married. I'm undecided about kids just now. I've been toying with the idea of being an aunt professionally. LOL

-Be kinder.

I'm with your about the kids. I don't want any and I know it know. Don't feel like you have to just because most people do
To be honest... Even if i had all that I wanted... life still wouldn't be perfect. No one's life is perfect, now my semi perfectish life would be lets see...

I would like for Jon to have a really good job, so I wouldn't have to go back to work ever and could stay home and be a house wife for good. We'd be able to have a cute little four bedroom, two bathroom home, with a living room, dining room, kitchen, and basement. It would have high ceilings because they're beautiful and a wrap around porch, the part of the porch on the back end of the house though would be enclosed a bit for chilly weather.

There would be 3 nice cars out front of the house in our driveway. Nothing fancy really but just 3 great running decent looking cars.

I'd want myself, my fiancee and Jonathan to be healthy, a few colds here and there maybe the flu once in a blue moon but no cancer or deadly diseases.

and I'd love to be able to have a nice wedding, not just a justice of the peace type deal. With a nice trip to brazil or Italy for our honeymoon. Then to be able to vacation once a year somewhere nice. Maybe Disney land? Also for my son to never have to go without something due to money issues. I'm not saying spoil him but just be set well.

Not a lot right? Oh and one more thing for my parents not to suffer with so many bills anymore. Thats all.
 
Hah. I remember when my friends and I created a roleplay about our perfect lives.

# I want to get out of Australia, and go to university overseas. I went to Oxford when I was 6 and I dreamt of going there ever since.

# I would say that I'd love to marry Logan Lerman but I doubt that would happen. I just want to meet someone who loves me, and I love them back.

# I want my brother to get his act together and realize that he has the potential to be academically brilliant, if he just stops acting like a moron.

# I want to move back to London, and work as a freelance writer. I also want to finish one novel, and get it published.

# I want the typical things for my future family. A white house, a picket fence with a dog and a cat. I want my future children to have options in their lives, and I want them to live the way they should.

# I want to meet my online friends. I have this dream of us going to the Harry Potter Theme Park together, because Harry Potter brought us together.

# And finally, I want my mother to stop pushing me to become a nurse when she knows that I can't stand science and maths.

LOL! my best friend is from Melbourne and lives in Oxford now. What is it with you Aussies and the home counties?

Ah yes, I remember that too. But it wasn't Jazmin's perfect life because she didn't get the role of Ariel in Footloose, haha. Not that she said anything really.

Anywhoo, onto what my perfect life is even though I totally have no clue.

Typically I want to find someone who loves me "as much as Spike loves Buffy" to quote Zoe. I love Chace Crawford 😀, I'd like to marry him but he's a bit old. I'm not going to go into the fictional people I'd like to marry or screw or whatever. Let's just say, I want someone.

Kids, I want kids. I wanna name a girl Maygen or Scarlett or Rochelle or Willow. I kinda wanna name my kids names from Buffy or from my roleplay characters. Maybe I'd name a girl Dawn--who knows. For a guy possibly Shane or Christopher or William or Alexander.

I would love to get a job as an actress or a singer. I figure I'd be overlooked for various reasons but it's worth a shot. I wouldn't mind being a writer but I'm not very good with the whole ideas thing. My sister disagrees with that statement but it's true. But I kind of have to do something creative. It's a shaem you can't roleplay for a living.

I'd love to live in America. I know that sounds sad but it's true. But possibly not, I don't know. It's just a little dream.

Most of all I'd love to meet my online friends. Alex, Mel, Zoe, Jane etc. I'm getting closer to that too, meeting Alex and Mel mostly. I remember back when I used to dream about it all the time but it didn't seem possible. And I agree with Alex, I wanna go to the Harry Potter Theme Park with them--with Mel, Alex, Clo, Jazmin, Amelia etc. Because roleplaying Harry Potter brought us together. I also want Alex to come here and stay at my house for a few weeks so we can watch Buffy and the Rocky Horror Picture show and be dorks. 😀

That last one is the one I really want.

Oh, and I'd love to meet Taylor Swift, Taylor Momsen, James Marsters, Alyson Hannigan, Seth Green and Amber Benson. Is that too much to ask?

zobothehobo agrees: I wanna meet you, Jane, Taylor, and James too. I will not be complete without those things

I know what you mean. Omg! Imagine, you me and Jane. That would be pretty hyper. Crazy, fun time. And who doesn't wanna meet James? LOL. And Taylor, she's so inspiring. She inspired me to write songs.

Hmmm I don't know, life can never be perfect but right now I want to get a job and go back to school.

Eventually I want to get married and have 3 or 4 kids (sooner rather then later.) I want to be a teacher for kids with autism. And make enough money to not always be in debt.

OH MY GOD! I didn't know you wrote songs!!! Taylor inspired me to do it too! AHHH I love her! In my DREAM dream life, Taylor's one of my best friends and James is like a father to me. haha

Oh and now that i know Jane wants to live where I do and you want to live in the states... uh yeah, there will be the three of us getting together at some point. =]
 
Well this list is always changing for me but some of the things that are always on this list are:

- stable career
- good health
- loving husband
- happy marriage
- healthy children (and healthy family)
- financial stability
- freedom to travel the world with my family
