    1.) To have my dog back
    2.) To be able to take care of my parents financially and take away all of their worries... And to keep both of my parents alive forever. Especially my dad.
    3.) To have my baby back, and for her (& me) to stay the same ages we are

    I only need one: I'd wish to live in a world that is perfectly suited for me in every way.

    Any smart-aleck LiteralGenie interpretation, like making me drugged out on morphine and constantly happy, or having things so perfect that I'm bored of it, or whatever, wouldn't be perfectly suited for me, now, would it? And anything else I could want is part of that world.

    1. The ability to instantly and effortlessly teleport myself and others - even when I'm not near them - wherever I want without any bad results (in other words, no government cares when random people teleport about, I can charge what I like should I need the cash, I never accidentally teleport anyone into a vacuum or a wall so that they die or anything, no weird health side effects to me or others, etc).

    2. For my friends and family to all suddenly own lovely big houses of my choosing in ten different locations of my choosing (yes, that means ten lovely big houses each). Chances are those locations will include Auckland, Edinburgh, Tokyo, Stockholm, Menorca, California and I'd have to think about the rest, but I'm sure they'd be pretty awesome. I might just make them really expensive locations so we can all sell those ones off when we need cash. The ones in the nice places like Auckland don't need to be mansions, just really nice places, so I'd pick them out carefully.

    3. The ability for myself and my friends/family to extend time whenever we want to by up to eight hours per day without any side effects (including aging). Just so we can have the time to do the thing that we want.

    Basically I really want to be able to do what I want in life when/where I want without any notable issues coming up out of it. I want to have all my friends and family accessable to me. I want them to be happy, and I want me to be happy. I want to have time to learn things and I want to have time to play games. I want to have time for other people. I want to do all that without having to be the one jumping back and forth all day teleporting people, so if I get a text message from Rantz saying he wants to visit Jamaica, I want to be able to just think "bam, done" and that's that sorted. Hopefully he's not in the shower when I read his text.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    For 2, why not just ask for the ability to wave your hand and transfer ownership of a house to anyone you like? For 3, why "up to eight hours" rather than "as much as we like"?

    You have a genie and you're placing arbitrary limits on your own wishes. Seriously, man

    Because I don't want to throw people out on the streets and force people to move because my friend wants their house.

    Then if your intention all along was "houses created out of nothingness", you can ask for that power instead.

    Maybe I wasn't expecting my wishes to be analysed and would have thought longer and harder about it were a genie to pop up and ask me such a question. >=P

    Anyway my wishes:

    1. I wish for the power to have total control over time, the ability to slow, accelerate, etc. it and to move to any point along any timeline I have experienced. So I can go back to being ten, smurf around as a kid for a month, then come back to right now in my current timeline, etc.

    2. I wish for psychic powers. The ability to read and control minds.

    3. I wish for the ability to read any printed material thoroughly simply by touching the page, the book's spine, etc.

    I considered Skyblade's first wish for #3 but I can just go learn how to program in like two minutes so it's good enough plus I gain troutloads of other potential.

    1. Global end to racism
    2. Teleportation powers or a teleporter that actually works and I can control i.e. doesn't take me to places I didn't want to go.
    3. A cure for every autoimmune disorder: cancer, AIDS, arthritis, lupus

    I remember an episode of X Files with a genie, and the Male Agent wished for world peace. The genie responded by removing all other people on Earth.

    I imagine that's how two of Shiny's wishes would play out. xD

    1 To be pretty because I'm ugly as trout and look like a rejected troll from the sewers ugh ugh.

    2 My Mum to have $ billion, rich house with pool cars and bodyguards because she deserves it

    3 To wish the Genie free. Aladdin taught me that having a free Genie has a best friend can be pretty neat.
