4. Chocolate silk pie with whip cream on top... and raspberries
   
5. Macadamia nuts
   

Five snacks I enjoy in the real world:

Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:

3. Build an outdoor drive-in theater that only shows classic movies ONLY somewhere in Orange County; admission: free
   
4. Contribute to the campaigns of the politicians who I feel would most benefit the welfare of my fellow citizens
   
5. Invest in exciting stocks (something beyond the mutual funds that I have now)

3. Reading in bed before sleeping no matter how late it is
   
4. Going online to check my email and then not dragging myself away for hours
