Polgara the Sorceress from the David Eddings books. She is well aged, infinitely wise, imminently powerful, and gorgeous.
I don't think anyone has ever been happy working at walmart. I do think there is a dream job, but I also think that most people never find it. As for what I want to do, my dream is to be a college vocal music instructor. How am I working toward that? I'm not currently. That is something that requires at least five years of college and I am going through a custody battle that is draining me dry. So, no dream job for me. Just mindless drudgery.
I once watched Dune all the way through with only one potty break. (the version with Sting)

Updating the old resume and making it look right. And the waiting. Oh, the waiting kills me.
Slow, gentle, teasing, loving sex. The kind that lasts for hours.
And green tea.

Speakers are vital, sometimes headphones just won't cut it, but the gadgets that I CANNOT live without are my mouse and keyboard. I have a microsoft Trackball Optical 1.0 that I have replace with an identical one three times over the last 5+ years. My keyboard is a Microsoft Natural Multimedia(ergo) that I adore. This is the third one I have had of this model. If I have a choice, I will never use anything else.
Well, I think that most important is a spill-proof surface and keyboard. Also, kill the trackpad and put a side-mounted trackball(used on laptops from the early 90's). I think that the standard plastic shell should be forgone in favor of a more durable material, maybe an alloy of some sort. Shock absorbers is a must, and a good speaker set. Also the power adapter port is one of the most common parts to break on laptops, so that should be reinforced in some manner. It should weigh less than a standard laptop, but it could also be a little smaller. A keyboard with slightly larger keys would also be a plus. Putting colored outlines on the keys, marking which keys are used by which hands in typing tutor programs. Also including typing tutor, net nanny, and key logger programs(only accessible by parents) would probably be a good idea. It should come preinstalled with something similar to the Comodo Internet Suite(free firewall and antivirus in a single program) and either AdAware or Spybot S&D. Also, since this will be a first computer for many children, a multi-boot system should be offered from the manufacturer so that children have the opportunity to learn multiple OS's. Some learning games, and a few non-learning games should be included, as well as full kid-friendly tutorials for all the included programs. iTunes should come preinstalled, due to the prevalence of iPods and iPhones today.
Any of the first five. My personal fav is five but thats just me.
I don't know about youth, but I moved to Oklahoma two years ago and it was a big fucking mistake.
Edit 09/19/2009:
No longer think it was a mistake.

There is a small red rocking chair(toddler sized) that my great grandfather made when my grandma was a baby. It went though her, my dad and his two brothers, my and my four siblings, and has been given to me for my daughter.
I pee in bushes. With the stuff I eat, I am pretty sure that's toxic.
George Ellis Cave 1922-2006 Served in the Army during the Korean War. Was stationed in Guam, working as an engineer. He is my grandfather. I miss him.
I used to have an '88 Olds Cutlass Calais, basically a four door rollerskate. I was in the back hills of southern Indiana in July of '99 and I encountered about a 40 degree downgrade, with a hairpin turn at the bottom. When I entered the turn, I hit a patch of gravel and went straight sideways into an eight foot deep ditch at about 35 miles per hour. The car was completely totaled, yet I was completely unharmed.
My favorite is thus:
On the chest of a barmaid at Yale,
Was tattooed the prices of Ale.
And upon her behind,
for the sake of the blind,
Was the same information in Braille.
I love that one.

I yell at kids to stop running through walmart(I work there)
Five minutes ago. Eggs.
Super Metroid for SNES hands down. I have played it all the way through over a hundred times. Great game.
