Rufus Wainwright

I want:

For people to spend more time trying to make people feel better and happier;

For people to take responsibility for themselves and what they do;


For people to be truly tolerant and respectful - even interested - in the lifestyles, religions and beliefs of others;

to work harder at making my dreams come true and even more so at believing they will;


to be understood and loved for who I am, not trashed because I don't conform;


for people to start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX they deny they're in;

to be around more positive people, and accept that I don't have to keep negative people in my life;


to travel more, laugh so much and so often it's ridiculous, be a better Mom, ride in a Gondola, write a book, own a house and vineyard in Tuscany with my kids and support ourselves off what we grow.


I have to stop - I'll go on for pages!



(p.s. Shy - PM me when you can. xx )

ps:i just PMd you.

what else do i want?

i want to be able to tell her that i want her to freakin begin with.
i want her to want me back.

i want to remain treading this loserville one track path,it makes me feel nice.

i just think making food for your love is sexy thats all.

i want to cook for her and i want her to cook for me.i bet she'll be a better cook.

Do you want to cook Paris dinner?

i dont want to cook Paris dinner for Christ's sake! no way! jeez babe!

i want to cook dinner for the one i love.

WANT 1...for it to stop raining
WANT 2...the sun to come out(properly with blue sky)
WANTS... world peace

i want it to rain tomorrow like it rained today.
i want to be in the park with my sahib when it starts to rain.
i want to be able to sing,really sing beautifully.
i want the world to become a more fair place for all living beings.and for big conglomerates and companies who poison waters to evaporate along with their CEOs.
thats all.a little bit deadly but what the hell,I'll risk it.

I actually do want to be Jayne Curtain or John Lithgoe

I want to know what I want

One day, just ONE whole day, 24hours, of peace and quiet...no arguments, no hassle, no backchat, no bickering, sniggering, grunting, screaming, no teenage tantrums and ordeals they put me through one after another....just for one day out of the year for my children to try and think of me for a change... yet they cant grant my wish for ONE, MEASLY DAY!! Or is it part and parcel of being a mum and totally selfish of me to want it or want anything come to that!

Well, the constant responsibility of parenthood is part and parcel of being a mum but it's ESSENTIAL that you let them know that everyone deserves down time or alone time. And that is not selfish at all.
I say you go to your calendar and book a day in the next week that you give yourself off. Stick to it.
Daily, you should make sure that you have either a morning hour alone or an evening hour alone and demand it. Depending on the ages of your kids, you should boot them off to bed so you can unwind yourself. If they are older, they needn't go to sleep but tell them you expect to not be interrupted by their phone, music, TV, fighting, demands or whatever. A "don't bug me unless the house is on fire" hour.

I have four children, ages 5, 10, 14 and 16 and I regularly make time for myself. If I didn't, I'd be institutionalized. It took me a long time to understand that it didn't make me a bad mum, but actually a better mum.

Good luck with it, starstruck. :)

As for what I want? Hmmm... Front row seats for the Rufus show near me. ;)

I don't know what it is, but I got to do it.

I want to meet Rufus (:

Aside from that, I really really really really really want to be a teacher in French, English, history or music.

Oh, and I want to learn the violin.

...to live in London and find a beautiful Prince. *CRIES*

{q a=[[Aperl GHAHA]]}Oh, and I want to learn the violin.{/q}OMG since kid that I want to learn the violin and also how to play good tennis. :S

I want him to trust me :'(

So many things that don't cost money, but are worth their weight in gold to me.

And for my toothache to stop. *sobs*

I want somebody to love.
Someone who takes me as i am.
Regardless of my negative and possitive traits. And someone who wants the same for their self.

Why do you want to live in London?

{q a=[[rascal102]]}{q a=[[loneprince]]}...to live in London and find a beautiful Prince. *CRIES*{/q}

Why do you want to live in London?{/q}Last year I went to London and OMG I loved the city. I feel identified with it. The music, the people, so many things, really. :D

In September I'm going back there. I'm counting the days. Something is pushing me... I don't know but I feel this way!

I want to be me, and for you to love me as me, and not for what I am and have done, but for who my soul is.

"I'm not ready to love..."

To let them go.

Wow, i feel good now.

BTW: Nice topic Fireflies.

I loved your first post a lot because it's so important that people not only want the best for others, but for themselves too.

I want. . .

To dance- to find a dance partner who puts the dancing before themselves and their own ego, has a great work ethic but likes to have fun, and who speaks English.

For people to not care what others think and to be themselves.

To see old friends that I miss.

For the end of the book I'm reading to turn out well.

And I'll echo geekgirl.

Well I ain't no beautiful prince but when you're over look me up and I'll take you out for a beer!

Sounds great! And a beer is always great, haha! Let me warn you that my english is crap. ;)

But it's always fun meeting people from other countries. :)

From your posts I would guess your English is pretty good... where are you from?

I'm portuguese but my english has so many limitations. And you're just reading what I write, haha. Because when I start talking my english is really a joke. People in London will ask me all the time: "Wwhhaaaaaatt??"
LMAO!!!

I don`t really know what i want,except talking all the languages, desing my onw clothes for me and have a boyfriend with the same physical as rufus hahaha (is it there a hetero twin for me? xd) , but i know what i don`t want by now: study, it`s so...

HA. i wish i knew what i wanted. as it is, right now the only thing i can think of... something i've wanted for as long as i've known him.... i want HIM. and i want him to realize it and DO something about it. and i want to not feel this way. but i do...

It is 20:20 and I'm still in the office sorting out a problem......I have never seen anydody dying for lack of data!!!!

thanks for the constructive criticism =P
umm well i have a letter all written out but I actually don't have a clue how I'm gonna do it.

Are you writing the letter to send them or just to get the words down so you can tell them... do you live at home?

It is the most difficult thing a gay man/woman has to do and everyone thinks that their parents are going to disown them... I came out years ago but my sister who is also gay only managed it this year even though my parents have been wonderful about my sexuality...

Three things I know.

1. Most parents don't care, once over the initial shock.

2. As like anything you don't want to do, get it over with as soon as possible.

3. Ultimately you will be happier once you've told them

and 4. (ok i know i said 3) If you can tell them to their faces then do.

Good Luck

thanks rascal for the advice.
yep, i live at home and i'm going to do as you've advised me and get it over with within the next few days (if not right now)
it's great to get some advice from someone who's been in the same situation, as all my friends who I've talked to are straight.

glad to be of help let me know how you get on... how old are you btw?

it's not so much a problem anymore, because I told them last night! it was tricky and i kept stalling for time but eventually I got it out and they were immediately supportive. my dad was especially great about it and cleared up all my worries.
as for how old, i'm 14 - young, but i'd rather have figured it out now than any later.
what age were you when you came out?

I was 20 when I told my Mum and Step Dad. It was horrible.... so i chickened out from telling my Dad for a couple of years until I moved to London with my (then) boyfriend. He was great about it. All my parents (i have 4) are absolutely wonderful about it now.

Glad to hear it went ok... wish I had the strength you have when I was 14!!

thanks :)
i'm glad it's worked out well for both of us!

now, since we've gone so far off topic...what does everyone else want?

i want to

have petula clark's 'happy heart' playing in my Mp3 and me walking down a sunny winter street and smiling.
it really is a great uplifting song.

I want to win the lottery so I can afford to accompany all my favorite artists as they tour the world.

I also want to hear Rufus perform ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, along with Sean Lennon tomorrow night in my hometown of Santa Rosa, CA. Hey it could happen huh? Hope it happens.
