Can I change mine to Comic Sans? ^^

nah...
Century Gothic is also very sexy, along with Bauhaus STD. Futura is also good at headlines and bigger font sizes. Walkway semibold is also pretty nice (only free-font I've listed so far :P)

My fonts of choice has gone from "yuck, I don't have any good fonts on my computer" til "yuck, so many fugly free-fonts". Oh well, there are still some gems out there, and all things concidered, font choice follows what its used for. Helvetica wouldn't be your font of choice when designing a wedding invite etc.

Oh well, my typography-teacher said we shouldn't use helvetica, we live in a confusing world of design, without right or wrongs. It's not supposed to be easy is it?

edit: this is a good post to show that century gothic is a beautiful font but doesn't work that well on screen in small sizes
