I wish

I wish...

I was one of those girls who can wear red lipstick
I had all the answers
People said what they were really thinking and feeling, not what is easiest to hear and say
Life was black and white
Pedestrians didn't have the right of way when I'm driving
There were aptitude tests for pregnancy
I could live certain peoples' lives for them
I were braver
I could erase certain people from my memory like in Eternal Sunshine...
Life were easy for people who deserve it
I could live forever
I were a musician
My room were clean
Boys were easier to understand
My life were a Disney movie
I could read all the books I own before I die...that's not gonna happen
I didn't worry about things over which I have no control
I was always right
I didn't feel like I was in "Groundhog Day", reliving the same day over and over
Cheesecake was fat free
My Government book could be read and retained by osmosis
People would try to understand each other
I didn't ever have to apologize
I could time travel
I never had to feel misunderstood
The things I've been putting off for weeks would just go away
I saw my family more
I didn't worry about money
I didn't always get in the wrong lane at the bank, the grocery store, on the highway, at the toll booth
People could spell
Children were altogether banned from movie theaters
The future didn't seem so far away
My life were extraordinary
Sappy movies didn't make me cry
There were more British guys in this state
People could express themselves better
I could travel everywhere
It rained more on Sunday afternoons
I had a record of all the funny things that have happened in my life
Everyone could experience one day with my family...it would change them
I was on the "Truman Show"...but well you know it would be the "Amber Show"
I was more selfless
I was fluent in every language
I liked popcorn...why do I feel like this would make my life more simple?
I wasn't always "one of the guys"
I was more patient
I didn't embarass myself so much
The phrase "stinkin thinkin" weren't so under-utilized
I was an evil genius
I didn't feel like a walking contradiction
I were better at making decisions
I had a hair stylist
My favorite pair of pants would stop falling apart
Everyone quoted movies with me
My friends would stop getting married so young, leaving me feeling like an old maid at 20
I had more friends on myspace than my sister
The sound of my alarm clock didn't make me feel nauseous
I didn't have to go to class tomorrow
I knew my IQ
Babies could talk
I could wear sweatpants for every occasion
I could read people's minds
I knew if McDreamy was going to end up with Meredith or Addison
The Lord of the Rings trilogy wasn't over
I could master the hard level of Sudoku
That the dog that lives next door to me would die...or become mute
It wasn't midnight...I still have to read like 20 pages
I could save the world
I didn't talk so much
I wasn't that girl, but let's face it, we're all that girl
