Poll: Wishes

[alabasterangel]

When do you make wishes?

Do you always wish for the same thing? or different things?

[alabasterangel]

I always make a wish when blowing out candles, blowing an eyelash off a finger, and when a clock says 12:34.

Always the same wish.

I guess I make a lot of wishes, just some more seriously than others. Everytime I watch one of my teams play, I wish for the other QB to throw a pick-six interception, or for our monster linemen to sack their QB with a hard, clean hit. Doesn't always work, but I do mentally push for it while watching, as if I actually have any sort of pull on the outcome.

But on more standard occasions, if I see a shooting star, toss a coin in a fountain, pull on a wishbone, or blow out birthday candles then I will make a more life-fulfilling type of wish. Different things for whatever is happening in my life... at one point it would have been to find "true love", to land a good job interview, or for the health/recovery of an ill family member. I've noticed wishing to win the lottery has not worked so I gave up on that one.

This really made me think. I don't make wishes and I think that might be weird.

[alabasterangel]

Oh! Shooting stars get wishes from me too.

I make wishes on eyelashes, birthday candles, and when the clock is all the same number: 2:22 or 3:33 or 11:11 (that's a double wish!).

I wish for different things.

[nearmiss]

I make wishes when on 11:11, birthday candles and throwing coins in fountains. I usually wish for the same thing.

[glw]

When I see it's 11:11, I'll say, "Make a wish!" but I don't actually do any wishing. I'm a non-wisher, I guess.

I used to wish on everything mentioned above, but now I just wish on MAYBE an eyelash.

When I wish, it's whatever's going on in life at that point.

[mayflowers22]

I don't wish much, only in an extreme situation.

[blondemoment123]

I wish on the first star I see. Lately it's been the same wish.

[shorty20]

Only when blowing out candles. It's a different wish depending on what's going on in my life at the time.

[treedimensional]

I make a wish when I play the breaking-cocktail-stirrer game.
Most of the wishes revolve around sex in some way.

On a somewhat related note; I saw a cute movie recently on Netflix instant viewing called Emma's Wish. I really enjoyed it. It does have kids in it, but the kids are extremely likable. The movie is very heartwarming, and I would recommend it for something light to watch with a fantasy/magical story to it. :Y:
