The joints of my fingers itch with unrelieved creative frustration and, unfortunately, I seem to lack the ability to relieve this restlessness.

I want hobbit feet. They'd be as big as bread loaves with wiry looking - but surprisingly soft - curly blond hair on the top. They would be so tough on the bottom that I wouldn't even feel the ground as I walked due to the cracked, dry, callused skin. There would be no feeling save those elements which slip between the sheltered crevices created between my toes. The toenails would be forever stained yellow and green and brown due to the dirt, grass and other elements they'd be exposed to. I'd never have to wear shoes again. My feet would be free.

I want white hair, although I'm willing to settle for a good steely grey. It would be long and so thin you could almost see my pink, age spotted scalp underneath. That wouldn't matter though because it would be permanently charged with electricity and would float around my head and defy all attempts to smooth it out. It would reach out to others as I walk past them and caress their faces of its own accord. It would grab flowers off the overhanging branches of nearby trees and would amuse itself by weaving strands of spun sugar around petals of varying hues and fragrances. It would smell of lemon and caramel.

I want a neck as long as my arm covered in tan colored age spots and an altogether glowing, pink hue. When my hair behaves it will wrap itself tightly around my neck like a turtleneck woven of sugar. Were my hair to get in a disagreement with my neck they would separate and my neck would be so bare you could count every vertebrae of my spinal cord railroad traveling up into my indignant hairline. I would always wear a cord of pearls at the base and my collar bones and shoulders would look like roots sprouting from the base of a salmon colored sapling.

I want to be albino...I think I could abandon my pink neck and blonde hobbit hair for the opportunity to fulfill that wish.

I don't want eyes because they inhibit my mind from creating reality.
