I always wondered if you could wish for more wishes
Loophole: "Give me the power to warp reality as I want to, WITHOUT turning me into a genie or suffering any other bad consequences."
Close enough to "more wishes"
1) I wish I could go back to when I was 15 but with the knowledge that trying to be a C student is a bad thing. I could have worked my ass off and am smart enough I could have gone to Harvard like I wanted.
2) I wish I had been born a girl so going through high school in the last half of the 90s liking guys wouldn't have been awkward and weird.
3) I wish even though my family moved across the river my parents could have found a way for me to still go to High School with the friends I had spent three years of Junior High making.
How about this for a wish: The ability to wipe your memory of entertainment you've experienced. It would save a lot of money and you'd always have new stuff. The Sixth Sense would always be a surprise!
Really good fiction is better on repeat viewing/reading.
Not just fiction...say, video games. I remember the sense of awe and wonder I had the first time I played WoW, wandering through tirisfal glades, back when the world seemed HUGE. Now it's just meh. I'd erase all that so I'd be all full of wonder again.

Playing Ocarina of Time with my daughter is kind of like that. The first time I played I was full of sighs and oooos and wows. I even cried when the game was over because it was like saying goodbye to all of these really good friends and every time I played it after that was like going over the memories in my mind never really being able to see these people again.
Playing it with her I get to see that sense of wonder and grandeur through her eyes.
Faith is about what you do. It's about aspiring to be better and nobler and kinder than you are. It's about making sacrifices for the good of others. - Dresden
