I want everything.

I cannot go into a shopping centre without at everything and exclaiming "I WANT ONE!" like a snotty five-year-old. I cannot even go past a single store without leering into the window, unless it is an op shop, or a health food store. Even a trip to the supermarket ends in tears as I forlornly look at all of the exciting things I want for no particular reason, like the $10 pink mixing bowl from Coles, which I have yet to persuade my mother to purchase, despite pointing at it and doing puppy dog eyes every time we walk past it. Perhaps this approach fails because my puppy dog eyes are more Sam than Tinkerbell.

Things that I want right now, which are within the realms of possibility:
1. More clothing. I am so bored and frustrated with my wardrobe, and I hate the dress that I am currently wearing. It goes against my beliefs to dress the way I do!
2. More shoes. As much as it seems that I have many pairs of shoes, I feel the need for more.
3. Furniture in which to display my shoes, because my current shoe furniture is full.
4. The cricket to finish, it was meant to finish half an hour ago, yet the damn thing is showing no sign of ending. As a result, tonight is doomed to be boring because it does not look like there will be anything on TV.
5. A flava lamp- one of those lava lamps that is tall enough to stand on the floor.
6. My computer desk to be clean. While this would take me about five minutes to rectify, it's never going to happen. One day, so much stuff will mount on my desk that I will die in an avalanche of bank statements, nail polish remover, and blank CDs.
7. My holiday homework to be done. This will happen, but not for about another month. But, as with everything else, I want it now.
8. I want to lose like ten kilos. This is possible, but I wouldn't count on it happening over the summer, which is when it is most important to avoid looking like a whale.
9. I want to finish the short story I am writing. So far I have not gotten past the first sentence, and I've been working on it for about a week. I have a really good idea and I want to write it before I forget about it. I have written out my plan but if I don't write the story soon, I will look at the plan and not understand what my former self wants from me, as with every other story I start. The problem is, I keep starting, but it's just not right, so I keep starting again. I could probably construct something of a decent story length with all of the first sentences I have written.
10. I want shoes. Did I mention that? I want black shoes, with a three inch heel, that are comfortable and in some way distinctive, like they could have a bow or something. And no fucking peep toe, I am so over that look. I would also like a bag that matches said shoes, and some kind of outfit.

Things that I want right now, that are not remotely possible:
Let's not even go there, I want the world.
