I too had an idea ...I guess it was bound to happen. I too had an idea for a restaurant dealing with only foods found at festivals. I was going to make it at the food court in the mall. And call it Karnival Kitchen. Of course now I think Festival Food would work as well. And to Meredith keep an eye at Fry's and Amazon.com for The X-Files I bought every season for 19.99 at different intervals when they were on sale. As for me and my millions I would do whatever I wanted to do. Take a trip to Vancouver, BC to see them film Smallville? Sure. Go to L.A. and be an actor. Hell I would just pay for my own movie. Say I did it and never have to do it again. Of course with the millions of dollars I could finally afford the women who have put me through a credit check before they decided they couldn't date me. I'd then go out with them anyway out of spite. I'd pay off my car and by a hybrid. Pay off all of my families debts. And at the end of the year I would pay my taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060525788940024825.post-23006358810736360022008-04-19T01:54:00.000+01:002008-04-19T01:54:00.000+01:00I would probably buy a really fucking nice flat in...I would probably buy a really fucking nice flat in London. And a place in Los Angeles. And pay off all my parents debt and my cousins surgery and schooling. Then I would buy a venue and proceed to put on the best shows ever. Forever. and the rest is for clothes to be fabulous. And for going to millions of gigs forever. And buy 50 cats. Because I am destined to be the weird old lady at gigs who is well dressed but you suspect may be a lonely old maid with 20 cats. But instead, I will have 50.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060525788940024825.post-41052380763359786682008-04-19T01:01:00.000+01:002008-04-19T01:01:00.000+01:00Caitlin, the idea of a 24-hour thai place sounds l...Caitlin, the idea of a 24-hour thai place sounds like the best kind of charity to me!

Sure I'd invest some, and sure I'd hook my dad up with a sweet place to live (mainly so he doesn't move to Austin) and I'd put some money in a trust fund for my brother because lord knows he is not making through college to get a decent job... BUT<BR/><BR/>I would open a 24 hour thai food restaurant/coffeeshop - this has been a dream of mine because (A) I love thai food and (B) I love coffee and sometimes you need late night places to just go and hang/study<BR/><BR/>I would buy a sweet house, with a huge tv, and lots of swanky art and classy furniture so I could increase my rich hipster status ten fold and have fancy parties when all of my new friends (who are just friends because I'm super rich - but whatever) get dressed up and come play with me <BR/><BR/>I would also invest in a bar of some sort - like a dancey bar - so I could get free drinks and dance whenever I want and also make more money<BR/><BR/>Basically - I would invest in various businesses so that I wouldn't have to pay for food, alcohol, or fun for a very long time and STILL get paid for doing it. <BR/><BR/>And duh - I would buy everyone sandwiches - for life - need a sandwich?

(why did I always get stuck having 8 kids?)<BR/><BR/>When I open my book store, you'll have an account, so you can just breeze in and take whatever you want. But only if you lead one of the book clubs, okay? You can pick which books you want to cover.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE hedge mazes! I've always wanted a walled garden, like in The Secret Garden, with a swing which hopefully no one would fall off of and die.<BR/><BR/>Also, I love your train idea. It'd be like we were the Boxcar Children, but even MORE amazing, because there'd be booze involved.<BR/><BR/>mere, I'll never forget about Fair Fare! I've really got to start trying out the recipes that will be on the menu. I mean, how am I going to update cotton candy?<BR/><BR/>(If readers don't know, Fair Fare is the restaurant I'm going to open which will only serve carnival food. Funnel cakes, sausage on a stick, roasted turkey legs, etc. I predict it will be very popular among college students and pregnant women.)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451854797865122048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060525788940024825.post-79290176830539708992008-04-18T21:53:00.000+01:002008-04-18T21:53:00.000+01:00EEEEE yes Buffy action figures.

I would OF COURSE buy you those things, as well as every Buffy action figure so that you could put on little plays.<BR/><BR/>All your plans are very good plans. I was going to talk about my Independantly Wealthy Bathroom Plan but space was limited and also someone at work teh other day stared at me like I was a mutant when I started talking about the mini-fridge where I'd keep the splits of champagne.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451854797865122048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060525788940024825.post-83343057865347909212008-04-18T21:27:00.000+01:002008-04-18T21:27:00.000+01:00uh, the above was Meredith.

If you win the lottery, please buy me the complete set of X-Files and also the complete Jane Austen DVD library, EVERY version of every movie. kplzthxbye.<BR/><BR/>If I win the lottery, I will obviously buy the above (for you, too, Erin), and donate a sizeable chunk to charities I care about, like the Trevor Project and the environment. (Dear Earth, here's a mil. LYLAS, Meredith.)<BR/><BR/>I'd pay off my parents' already fantastic retirement house, and pay off all of my siblings various credit card debts and school loans and buy everyone great (hybrid, whether they want it or not) cars and take everyone on trips. I would also start up a trust fund for M'elle, but it would be solely for bacon purposes.<BR/><BR/>I'd take different groups of friends on different AWESOME vacays, so everyone gets treated but no trip has like 50 people, b/c that's more exhausting than fun.<BR/><BR/>I'd buy houses in the following places: coastal Maine, Pacific NW, and rural Italy. Condos in San Fran, NOLA, and some totally random place where no one could find me and I could hide away to write. I'd also buy a bunch of land and make a B&B there, and have goats, a pig, cows (I LOVE COWS), 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a monkey to visit when I'm tired of the city. Oh and I'd learn how to hawk, like the verb of training a hawk with a little leather helmet. And I'd name her Isabeau after Michelle Pfeiffer in Ladyhawke. And I'd take a year just to learn to surf.<BR/><BR/>I'd build a bumper car arena that uses old VW Beetles as the bumper cars. I would of course completely fund Matt's brewpub (as well as his shoe addiction), and I would start a straight-to-vid horror movie production company. And in my main house (haven't decided where that would be, probably Portland), I'd have the most amazing home theater ever. Like, it would be exactly like an old theater, and behind all the red curtains would be endless rows and rows of DVDs (alphabetized by genre), and all the chairs would be La-Z-Boys, the kind with a small cooler in the armrest.<BR/><BR/>I would have a library EXACTLY like the one in Beauty and the Beast, filled with first editions and signed copies of every book ever written. And I'd have the hugest, most incredible bathroom with a giant Jacuzzi tub with a TV mounted on the wall opposite of my head, so I could watch Buffy eps as I soak, which I currently do anyway via a very dangerous Margot Tenenbaum set-up w/ my laptop. <BR/><BR/>I've thought about this before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
