What will ultimately make me happy...
1. A family.
2. A job as a CRNA.
3. Coaching sports on the side.
4. A house of my own. |

I'd like to come into a ridiculous and mysterious inheritance from some distant ancestor on my mother's side of the family.
I have always loved houses, so I would commission one to be built in some New England town - one that I could ensure would last for hundreds of years. I'd have an enormous library with candelabrum and great volumes of books as old as I could find them. Doesn't even matter if they're in languages I cannot read, books are one of the few things you cannot waste money on.
I'd also like to own my own Vineyard somewhere. Or at least have a friend who did. :toothless
Given the time and funding, I'd like to know as much about the creation of traditional absinthe and other spirits as possible. I would then like to distill my own Absinthe. I know you don't need a great amount of wealth for this, but I certainly do not have the means to do so at this point in time.
With my money, I'd like to open an enormous Veterinary clinic. I don't know much about medicine at all, even less about animal medicine, but I would like to hire some of the best people for the job I could find. I would pay my staff whatever it takes to keep them happy and on top of all that, the clinic would completely be free to the public.
I've actually done quite a bit of travelling in my actual life, but in this alter dreamworld, I would like to travel to as many places as possible.
Sort of funny that I would rather wish to fund as many other people's education as possible, but never really own, now that I think about it.
In my dreams, I am a great benefactor of small renown. I'd rather be known for my ing amazing Absinthe recipe than my generosity. :thepirate
I don't know if this is really the 'happy and carefree' response you were seeking, but pipedreams are sort of neat.
//I also once dated a girl who was really messed up beyond belief. She had one of the most affective histories I'd ever heard of a human being, much less a small child, having to endure. Our relationship did not last, but she did impart onto me once that she wished nothing more than to open a home for vagrant or abused girls. It would bring me a great amount of happiness to have the funding to throw any amount of money it took to make this dream of hers possible. |
It seems like, you're kind of answering a different question..."What would you do if you had a lot of money and could basically do whatever you please?"
I'll have to think about that one.
:D |

Remember, guys, the dreams of the coffee far above the Kona Coast on the Big Island? I guess the vog (volcanic gas/fog) is poisoning a lot of the coffee trees. That just seems like a real slap in the face. Even my dreams aren't realistic. |
Sorry, but picking a dream on the side of a functioning volcano is sort of like building a giant mansion on top of a sandy cliff that's prone to landslides.
Chrissi, do you have a hobby? |

| i enjoy learning new things and thinking. it helps the day go by faster and for me it's important. in a perfect world i would win the lottery, work maybe two days a week doing whatever just to keep busy and go to school. i would go back and study history and once i'm done with that go and study biology or something. i don't know, i'm kind of a nerd and like learning stuff. |

Yah, I think:
1)running
2)cooking, inventing cool foods/dishes
3) swimming
4) embroidery/crewel work
5) playing piano
6) listening to music
7) gardening
Or are those not considered hobbies?
You know, I have to study and work so much. I'm not as fast thinking as most people, don't forget...
P.S. to Halcyon+On+On: nice to read your posts, again.
:p
P.S. to chimera: I've been in school forever. It gets old. Maybe when I take a break, I'll crave mental stimulation. I dunno. Now, I get tired of thinking. |

I think for me it's not things I want, but more like freedom to do things I'd like.
I don't think I have materialistic view of things, but I'd like a quiet place to live in the middle of nowhere where I can raise kids(so I can throw kick ass house parties without neighbours complaining), a career that I love and find pleasure in (which I'm doing right now), and a nice garden where I can grow things and have quiet time for contemplation and introspection.
Oh yeah, a nice girl who I can share my life with. :)
PS: Being a world famous DJ wouldn't hurt either :p |

i've been in school for a long time too and i enjoy it. i've got a masters and gone to school abroad for an extra semester just because between my undergrad and masters programs. i think i know what i'll be getting myself into...i've also taken random courses here and there just for "fun."
this is what i want for work...for a personal life i want a family sometime in the future but i'm not birthing any kids anytime soon. |
