To be a Bond villian

You will be famous for taking over a small country





You always see opportunities to get what you want no matter what the cost. You are cut-throat and a capitalist at heart. Let’s hope the country is a tropical paradise and not Iceland.

This sounds suspiciously like something a Bond villain would do... hmm...

This raises an interesting question though - What would I do with my own private island? I've pondered this quite a bit, actually, so here's what I have come up with.

After conquering my tropical paridise, I shall send all the former inhabitants (if there were any) to go live in America. If any were dead set against going, I would turn them into my paid servents and let them live on the island if and only if they were loyal to me. I'd treat them well... very well. Pretty much, they'd just be doing all the stuff I don't want to do. This includes dishes, taking laundry out of the dryer and folding and seperating it, and picking up stuff off the floor. I'll dust, wax, polish, etc. I like that. I just don't like the picking up junk. To be nice though, I'll always throw my clothes on the bed instead of the floor. That way they don't have to bend over.

I would also set some of them to work in the garden. I would demand it be up to Martha Stewart standards at all times, but that's probably the worst thing. I would make sure to have a ridiculous amount of trees, that way, there is little grass to mow.

On this island, I would build a house. A great, big, huge house. It would be a multi leveled monstrosity with enough rooms to rival a castle. It would be made of stone, with polished stone floors, and rugs every so often to give it a home-like feel. Along with numerous tapestries and paintings. It would also have LARGE windows. We're talking floor to ceiling windows with enormous drapes to cover them at night. The stone covering the outside would be grey, but inside, it would be a light beige. The lay out would be very open, and give you a Rivendell feeling.
Of course, there would be secret passages, hidden stairs, secret rooms, even a secret prison! What house on an island taken over by cut-throat capitalist would be complete with out them?

Yes, I would have a marvelous island with a marvelous house on it. Celebrities and politicians across the globe would be willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money just to stay there for the weekend. Of course, I would let some of them come. I'd throw the best parties! But no one would ever see me. Or, if they did see me, it would be at a costume party, or I'd be wearing a veil over my face or something. Gotta keep the mysterious Dr. Lothril thing going. How mysterious are you if half of the world knows what you look like? The best part would be, NO MEDIA! Freedom of the press does not exist on my island. Any unauthorized cameras can and will be chucked off a cliff onto the jagged rocks poking out of the sea below.

The other thing, is that the island would be VERY well hidden. To get to it, you must board one of my private jets that have no windows on them, and be flown to my island. The pilot will make sure to take the long route there, I promise. This way, no one has a clue where it is! It could be forty miles off the coast of Mexico, or it could be five hundred miles from Austrailia. You'll never know, and I'll never tell.

I obviously have way too much time on my hands. But no worries! I'm heading off to college next week, and I'm certain I shall have no time to day dream there.

Have I! I want to write a book, a novel, and a short story. Well, I've done multiple short stories, but not quite finished any books or novels.

I am not an English major (I'm terrible at grammar!)or an Arts major. I'm actually a Cross-cultural education major.
