I would wish for 5 million dollars. I would then wish for the ability to be whatever weight I wanted, i.e. I wouldn't have to worry about dieting. Then, I would probably wish for environmental harmony.

1. Wish that I COULD wish for more wishes. (<- Why am I the ONLY person on God's green Earth that seems to have figured THAT one out...?)

2. Wish for an infinite number of wishes.

3. Wish that I could grant wishes for myself without needing a genie to do it.

4. Wish the genie freedom eternal from his/her prison of a bottle, never to be forced to grant wishes again.

no one was disrespecting, they were trying to be encouraging by suggesting that you start to write the novel instead of wishing that you would... saying - nothing is stopping you.

I would preface my wishes with extensive, literal definitions to make sure there are no unintended consequences. I would have to spend a lot of time thinking about specifics, but I can give you guys 3 ideas out of the blue.

1. All-knowing, obedient computer system AI that essentially can accurately answer most questions asked and can creatively construct original thoughts. For example, the AI would be able to tell me obscure statistics like "How many times did Julius Caesar masturbate in his life?", explain scientific concepts or perhaps, directly download such information to my brain (a la Matrix), and create original designs of systems like, "Design an efficient, renewable energy system". This system would have an open-ended upgrage option which would include an unlimited manufacturing capability. The system itself would be small, portable, secure, and only accessable by myself; but would be able to create whatever it needed to do whatever job I asked it to. Such a tool would be invaluable. With such knowledge; money, health, and many other things that most people would wish for could be provided by this system.

I'd have fun with number 1 before making other wishes. In fact, number 1 might be all I'd ever need.

1. My best friend's sister not to be a manic bipolar depressive.
2. Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein and my Politics teacher to rule the world.
3. Nice people not to finish last.
