You finally get that response...and...you are accepted! BUT it's in a foreign country and you have to leave everything behind....oh...wait...

I wish I could play guitar like Eric Johnson.
(My wish doesn't seem particularly corrupted :) )

*abracadabra* --POOF--
You can play guitar like Eric Johnson. You live alone in the middle of Siberia and have no internet, phone, television, or electricity, so you have plenty of time to play--for just yourself, and then only before you freeze to death.

I wish I could find a church in my city in Korea where they have weekend services in English (or at least a language I speak well enough to understand), and that I could easily take the bus there.

*Shazam!* You find a stash of Quality Comics from the '40s.
You were out at a garage sale and stumbled upon a box full of these comic books and after you buy the whole box for $50,
you take them home to discover that most of the pages are torn out.
Alas, they are worthless.

I wish that all of us on Kevin's Watch were invited to SRD's house for a book-signing party.
Have you hugged your arghule today?

(Ouch. A wish that no one wants to corrupt. Nice one, Cheval.)

Your wish is granted. But SRD is actually a mean, old coot that kicks you out, but let's everyone else stay and have a big rocking party.

I think I made it nasty for Cheval but awesome for everyone else.

I wish that I never make a wish again.
"Branches spread and tree trunks grow
Through rain and heat and snow and cold:
Though wide world's winds untimely blow,
And earthquakes rock and cliff unseal,

My leaves grow green and seedlings bloom
Since days before the Earth was old
And Time began its walk to doom,
The Forests world's bare rock anneal,

Forbidding dusty waste and death
I am the Land's Creator's hold:
I inhale all expiring breath,
And breath out life to bind and heal.

But ax and fire leave me dead.
I know the hate of hands grown bold.
Depart to save your heart-sap's red:
My hate knows neither rest nor weal."

(Hangs for many weeks, waiting to be corrupted? Work for me)

You are granted your wish. Then, you're offered to make any wish and it won't be corrupted.

(Though I nave to admit, it was a good try))

Now, since the wish is going to be corrupted - I wish for... coloured baloons.

strange mimes attack you outside your house, tying coloured baloons to you, enough to carry you away up into the sky...

(It was wise of me, even though I wouldn't value such "wisdom" highly, to ask for that. Your "corruption" was fun to read - I'm just very fine with what you described. Can you guess why? I have a few more hints, if they're needed.

Tried to go easy on your wish, since you corrupted mine so nicely, though still...)

Wish granted - your books are published, but with a cover from "How not to write Fantasy books" - with a muscular guy with a sword, a nearly naked chick and a dragon all present. If it has nothing to do with that genre - all the worse.

Oh, and my new strange wish, I wish for a Marilyn Manson's autograph.

Marylin gives you an autograph - but it is on your forehead and in a drunken state - you get it tatooed in a permanent manner.

*ZAP*

Jay puts a whole lot of cheap stuff in the store,
but all were bought up before you had a chance to get there.
Now it has the same stuff that was in there before.

I wish that I could find my "dream" job that pays well.

You are a fish, a pet fish to be exact, but your owner, who looked after you like a son, has lost you, despite your habit of going wherever he did go. This leads you to be incorporated into a wacky fourth wall game-within-a-movie, as the audience members attempt to find you, urged on by your elongated owner, an androgynous amazon warrior with taps for nipples, and an elephant-headed butler.

I wish that I could watch Bill Hicks perform.

you wake up to find Bill is playing your town - it is years ago - at the height of his comedic strength. but the show is sold out.

you go to bed frustrated...

You are in a band with Zombiac. The combination of your talents skyrockets you to the peaks of success. However, you find rockstardom to be almost exactly as described in The Wall.

I wish I had a grape Mountain Dew.

Shazam! You did play all star caliber short stop for the Red Sox...but everyone in the world has exactly as much knowledge of baseball as I do- that is, not even enough to know what part of the USA the Red Sox represent.

I wish I could date Helena Bonham Carter.

Mallories is the undisputed post count champion of the Watch. Bitter at his humiliating defeat, Avatar retaliates by moving all the political debate threads from the Tank into Mallory's.

I wish I had made it to the last E-fest
