Just to give you a few examples:
I'm extremely jealous of every happy couple. When I see people walking down the street holding hands, I'm in pain.
I'm jealous of Nelly Furtado. I went to school with her, so I know her slightly. I wasn't jealous when she became a singing star--I've never wanted to be a pop/rock star anyway. But when she started opening for U2 and hanging out with them--which she gets to do at least once more at Slane 2--then I became jealous.
I'm jealous of the people who were at Slane and got to see A Sort of Homecoming live.
I'm jealous of a 16 year old friend of mine. She's actually one of my best friends although she's over five years younger than me. She is very pretty and gets a lot of attention from guys--often guys who are more of the age to be paying attention to someone MY age. I very seldom get any attention from guys, that I'm aware of. She handles it very very sensibly, I should add. I really should not be jealous of her because she has had a very tough time in many ways--health problems, emotional problems, family problems--during her teens. But I am anyway.
I'm a writer, on a small scale, and I'm jealous of people who are my age or not much older and who have published great books. There are some of them out there.
I don't like being jealous. If I remember right, the Bible describes jealousy as "rottenness to the bones," as far as the effect it has on you, and that's pretty accurate. But it's an emotion I seem to feel an awful lot anyway.

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass
