if i had a million dollars...

actually no. fuck that [livejournal.com profile] minitrog was talking about having bank holiday off for the queen's big knees up and she was talking about how the chick has money to wipe her wrinkly with, and yet, she's not getting out. she's not a geezer, or a ladette, or a lush, or a criminal or anything fun. god that must suck.

SO. a question for you lot if you had...oh say. ten million, what would you do with it. yes, this is after taxes. no, you can't get any more. and i'm sorry, but i don't think that we could buy both lex and clark for that price. i know which one i'd get though *g*

so. what'll it be, kids?

Since you've so cruelly dismissed the first option *g*, I'd have to say that I'd buy a lap top and go travelling around the world for a few years, before buying a place in York and one in Florence. If I had anything left over, I'd buy a pair of pretty houseboys to service my every need.

*sighs happily*

In all seriousness? Pay off everything I owe, buy a HUGE beach house, move sam and the kids in with me, and throw an enormous multifandom 2 week getaway for all my friends. There would be serious time spent investing in a car to die for. And serious time spent investigating the possibilities of buying CK, I mean Kane. The band. That's what I meant. Really.

I'd change the 10 mill into 100's, strip myself naked, coat myself in honey and then roll around in them till there was no bits of me left to see *BG*

Or you know buy things ...
duh !!!

*BG*

Actually I've already started my shopping list, do you need my account number Z ???
I can't wait for my 10 million ...
Thanks Z, you're a real pal !!!

I assume that when you say you "can't get any more", you aren't disallowing investing the money?

I'd buy presents for everyone in my family, including college savings accounts for the kids. Then I'd go on a two month trip around the world.

When I get back, I'll find a small city in a cool climate with good internet access. I'll buy a small house, and I'll spend the rest of my life volunteering. Probably at the library and for adult literacy. I'll probably set up some sort of scholarship fund, although every time I try to imagine something like that, I can't figure out how to make sure it's being run right.

Oh the usual, get a small castle in Ireland, buy the hubby some cutting edge guitars and stuff, get a full back tattoo, and invite all my buddies to a party to end all parties.

Plus there must be at least a thousand books I'd want to buy

Iwish... well I wouldn't get much of a choice. My father wants a boat, my mother wants a really nice house with a computer with all the bells and whistles. My sister wants a car that see doesn't have to pay an arm and a leg for each time her warrent is due, and my brother wants.. well a boat with full scuba and deep sea fishing gear of course. Me? I'd go for a walk and buy something I really like and just laugh because I don't have to think about the bills I have to cover that month. Clothes. And, and lots of pretty shoes... even if I don't wear them much.

I think I'd better get you a thank you gift as well. Oh and pressies for all the people that have been nice to me over the last year or so. See. 10 mill, gone just like that.

You know, that amount of money really doesn't go as far as it used to.

Is that KATIE I see posting here? WTF? Isn't this CG's blog? My world is tilted.........aaaaack.

Anyway, I would buy some enterprise to keep the money coming in forever. Not the market because I hate those wall street oinkers. Some business that I could hire a bunch of downsized people who're on unemployment to run for me who wouldn't backstab me because I let them wear pjs to work and our business hours would be like 3-11p. Maybe it would be the world's best goth-wear company, to amuse myself. I would get some market research to see what kind of business it should be. Maybe something related to the engorged old-fogey babyboomer idiot generation. Adult diapers with band logos on them.

Then I would own homes various places I would like to go, my personal assistant would see to all the details because i can't be assed to do things like shop. I would also pay off everyone's bills because largess inspires loyalty. Since I own a ligit b'ness, I can also cut all my friends paychecks out of the corp. account so noone else has to work either thereby allowing us all to live like Patsy and Edina without the buffant hair.

Hi! I just wanted to do that, with this icon.

::scurries away::

(Briar has not seen "Tempest" yet. And because Briar is "in the fringes" of That_One_Fandom_With_The_GAYEST_SHOW_EVER, she is still unspoiled...

and will now stop referring to herself in third person in Zahra's journal.
