Completely un-realistic things i want because i'm a dreamer till the end 

- A book deal. Like i want a book deal before the book is even finished. I want a publisher to be like,
" Hot damn, this is gonna sell so well we're gonna give you a deadline to finish it and then we'll talk business then". That would be so amazing because then i'd truly be working for something that's guaranteed and man, there are like NO guarantees in the Arts world. People are disorganised and behind schedule. I know they always say they're ' BUSY ' but like, come on now. I didn't get this sort of delays when i was scouting for Artists for Criterion in the states. I'd email them back and whoosh, the next day there'd be an email right back. No, jokes

- I want a new pair of Chanel flats. The new ones that have just come out. Fuck they are beautiful.

- My own apartment. IN NEW YORK. Like it doesn't have to be completely OTT gorgeous. I just want it to be practical and neat and have all the things that i need. I basically just want to be in the U.S but there are things i have to accomplish here before i reach that goal ( which is one that's gonna take time by the way ) Anyway, i'd like big windows in the apartment and one of those windows which leads out to stairs so i can sit out there and just chill out and stuff. I also want a cat for the apartment. A British blue. I don't know what i'd name him or her, but they're definitely getting de-sexed.

- For me to have the most speaking time out of everyone at the careers evening that i've been invited to give a talk to at my old high school ( yet to be confirmed but i'll keep you updated even if it's a NO ). It's not me on a stage talking by myself like an important person. I think there are little stands where people go to for specific information. Like there might be an Engineering stand or a Nursing stand. And i'll be in the " Writing " stand and i bet you all these mothers and fathers are going to ask " So do you make money from it?". I really hope they don't ask that but i KNOW that they will.

- I want Tao Lin to follow me on Twitter or atleast just reply to one of my tweets. Even better, Haruki Murakami giving me writerly advice!

- A permanent carer. Or like " Life motivator " that is live in. So they basically live with me and every single morning they come in with a whistle and pull me out of bed. Then they motivate me by saying things like " You're gonna tackle 3000 words today and you're not gonna btich about it " or " Stop comparing yourself to others you weakling ". They'd also cook for me ( because we all know how bad i am at that ) and at night they'd talk to me about my feelings. I want one of these so bad even though it's like really weird. I feel like only in L.A do they have shit like this if you're a celebrity.
