    Sunglasses.

    Maybe these one’s:

    http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=113734&CategoryID=8875&PageID=4635*1*24*-1*-1*6

    Ridiculously amazing looking sunglasses.

    My parents would be soooooo pissed! I go through so many sunglasses it’s not even funny. Just in these past two years I have lost 10 pairs of sunglasses. If I spend $500 on Sunglasses (which I have ALWAYS! wished I could do) my parents would probably disown me… especially if I lost them.

    The biggest picture of Hillary’s face that I can find. And placing it on my dad’s lawn. As well as ‘I support Hillary’ signs everywhere.

    He’d go fucking ape shit.

    Or something along the lines of one of those scooters that are usually for old people so that I can truly be lazy. My parents would be so mad. It would be fantastic.

    an escort to take to McDonalds…

    not one of those expensive escorts, a la Spitzer, but a cheap one…

    and we’d eat juicy Big Macs and talk about the best way to seduce men

    Thu, 24th Apr 20087:23 pm 

    i’d spend $500 on the first months’ rent on a cute studio apartment, conveniently located just a few blocks away from campus.

  23. Nikki says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200812:46 am 

    I’d spend it on home plate seats at a Yankees game. Not so I could watch the game, but so I could stare at the players butts when they were batting.

  24. Puppylove says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200812:47 am 

    I could pamper my Chihuahua.

    Spa works, treats, toys,…even a self-portrait painting of her!

    Fri, 25th Apr 20081:18 am 

    (not sure why my comment didn’t post so here it is again)

    I know this sounds crazy, but I would spend it on a Dyson Ball Vacuum that cost $400-600.

    Yes, on a vacuum, but a kick butt one none-the-less. and hey, at least this way I could keep my room/dorm clean.

  30. Sophie says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 20083:31 am

  31. Kas says:

    Some fabulous plastic surgery to bring out the feline in you. Your muse being none other than Ms. Jocelyn Wildenstein – the “cat lady”

    http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/attachment.php?attachmentid=97938&stc=1&d=1126505447

    With only $500 worth of surgery, let’s hope you’d have a face that more than “only a mother could love.”

  32. JD says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 20089:50 am 

    With 500 bucks, I would buy as many pairs of boxers and socks that I could. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and having new socks and boxers to put on.

  33. Stacy Kidd says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200810:56 am 

    I’d use it on a huge picnic, spend all day making loads of sandwiches and head to the coastline with my friends, take lots of photographs then buy ice cream. The weather in Scotland is generally cold, so when it gets warm I like to make the most of it.

  34. CG says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200811:05 am 

    I would spend it on gambling money for a trip to Las Vegas! I just turned 21 and I would love to play at the poker table with a stack of chips and a vodka cranberry in hand. :)

  35. Joey jo jo says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200811:28 am

  36. Michelle says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200811:59 am 

    I would buy an arcade game machine. The perfect addition to any dorm room =)It’d be so kickass! Plus all the quarters you’d get from people playing it.

  37. Gigi says:
    Fri, 25th Apr 200810:51 pm 

    I would buy a whole family of lawn gnomes!!!

    (plus lawn animals statues, and accesories for them).

  38. Janers says:
    Sat, 26th Apr 200811:46 pm

  44. bunnyhugger says:
    Thu, 1st May 20088:18 pm

  45. Lily says:

    To be completely honest, my parents would be maddest if I blew $500 on hookers and blow. That’s the worst thing I can think of to spend money on– illegal activity both sexual and addictive!

    That, or giving it to McCain’s presidential campaign.

  50. Kelly says:

    How about the Spinning Sex Swing

    with Stand at $249.00 with the

    Liberator Scoop and Wedge Kit at $235.00

    from http://www.extremerestraints.com

    Spend whatever is left on lube or shipping….

    Essentially a shopping spree at Exteremerestraints….

    Wouldn’t mom and dad be proud….

  53. Bobby says:
    Sat, 3rd May 20084:11 am 

    Since it was my girlfriend that said this,

    “I’d spend it on “Her Pleasure” Trojans!”

    (Yes, that really is my girlfriend).

    I would spend it on “His Pleasure” Trojans.

  54. Jodie says:
    Sun, 4th May 20081:35 pm 

    I would spend $500.00 on Fun Dip, the #1 candy all parents hate their kids to eat, and would never allow it while growing up.

  55. CG says:
    Mon, 5th May 20087:37 pm

At some point this week, exercise stopped being something I had to do and started being something I wanted to do. I’m honestly not sure what changed. Maybe it was the physical pain and exhaustion I felt after Irish dancing at a pre-St. Patrick’s Day event last weekend. And then watching all my old friends performing on St. Patrick’s Day, so full of energy, making it all look so easy.
