Desert island, y'all: What would you bring?

Comments

[phoenixsong]

No limit?

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

None.

[phoenixsong]

OK, I'd want the computer and 'net access, but only for music purposes. All my favorite people would be there with me. And oh gosh darn, people I didn't like wouldn't be able to find me. What a shame. The violin, of course, would also go with me in this case.

Did I mention all my favorite people? s:)

Yes, the whole birth control thing sounds like a good plan. *whistles innocently* As does sunblock, since I burn easily, and bug repellant.

Camping equipment. Hiking boots, sleeping bag and/or blankets and pillow. Lean-to or similar structure with an open (but screened-in) side (with door) for nice weather. Tent for when I want to spend an evening elsewhere. Kitchen facilities of some sort. Appropriate clothing.

Books. Candles. Sand toys. Hammock? I've always wanted to try sleeping in one.

I think that covers it. s:)

Among other things...

My sweetheart, and condoms (lots of time to play, but need some population control). A deck of cards. A tarot deck. Dante's Divine Comedy.

I assume palatable food and clean drinkable water are plentiful; if so, some basic cooking gear (pot, saucepan, spatula, spoon, knife, fork, spices). If not, I'm not going there...

Do I get high-speed internet access?

Re: Among other things...

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

No internet access.

Lots of interpersonal interaction.

Alexis
Moterboat
Instructions for moterboat
Lots of funds to buy stuff (incl condoms) when we go to port.

Yeah, I cheated. :)

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

Very cheating. I hate you. ;-)

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

a cellphone, a boat, a gps guide and other navigational equipment so as I could get OUT of there whenever I pleased, and find the nearest resort, or my way the hell back to civilization. I would be the crazy girl piloting a sailboat into New York Harbor.

or, if I'm looking for a few days to myself: notebooks, pens, all the books I haven't been able to get to, my entire music collection (minus the vinyl, for fear of meltage), in addition to the necessities: food, water purifier, medicine, shelter of some sort, and some as-yet-unnamed handsome male to help me pass the lonely hours (and condoms, if I am ever able to find a guy).

[penchantnyc.livejournal.com]

Get the umlimited roaming charges plan. :)

Re:

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

You know it. And I'll make sure it's one of those pda-phone combos, and get unlimited internet access too.

what? me? tied to creature comforts? nahhh....

and I misunderstood - when I heard 'desert island' I figured 'alone & stranded.'

(and to answer lwoodbloo's question: I'd need to take little day trips to occassionally get off the island. to shop. to explore. to visit family. you know, that stuff. )

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

I think your travels will be.....APPROVED!

bring me chocolate.

Re:

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

So, are you the dictator or something?

just wondering...

yay! I tend to get psycho when I can't travel anywhere.

chocolate...check. That's it?

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

not dictator.

EL JEFE!

;-)

[rosequartz1963.livejournal.com]

Food, water, first aid supplies, sunscreen, a hat, clothes, some tools & utensils that might come in handy, some survival how-to books (on starting fires, building shelter, etc), blanket, raincoat, matches, fishing line & rod/reel, magnifying glass, sewing kit, kleenix, toilet paper, soap, batteries & something to play music on, CDs, a ham radio in case we need to contact the outside world, flares, some literary anthologies (variety of authors & styles), etc.

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

You're too practical. You may not come on the island. ;-)

Re:

[rosequartz1963.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww .... maybe next time i'll come up with a less practical list. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[tink-loves-bell.livejournal.com]

a boat, gas, directions on how to get back to the city, some books, a pen, my music,

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

Jesus! This is a nice, fun island! With coconuts! WHy does everyone want to LEAVE????

Re:

[tink-loves-bell.livejournal.com]

in that case: books, music, housing equipment, cell phone, batteries, entertainment center, good food, cooking equipment, pens, paper, stamps, my friends, the boy

as long as my family and pets could come and visit me too

[aliasa.livejournal.com]

Desert island with the option to come and go as we please? Hehe.

If that's the case, here's what I would bring:

- hammock, tent, good padded sleeping bag
- several good books by my favorite authors
- fave cds, cd player or an mp3 loaded ipod (now if only i have one ;p)
- sunscreen (lots of it), aloe
- several swimsuits, tee shirts, shorts, loose pants, plenty of clean underwear
- toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss -- must maintain good oral hygiene!
- a good facial cleanser, toner and soap
- bug spray
- floatable raft
- contact lens, glasses, a razor, tweezers and mirror
- darn good food and sport drinks!
- telescope, candles
- good pair of sneakers and flip flops
- compass

lol, except for the hammock, sleeping bag, raft and telescope, i think these are stuff i'm bringing with me when i go on vacation. ;p

[penchantnyc.livejournal.com]

You read the number 5 as 50? heh :)

[aliasa.livejournal.com]

Lol! What number 5?

Except for the telescope, hammock and tent, all this would fit in one bag!!

To be honest, I first read the sentence as "Dessert Island." Yeah, my mind is on food -- trying to decide what I want for lunch. Made it as far as: definitely wanting 1 passionfruit green bubble tea. But a substantial meal that will hold me over till dinner: ?

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

I would like it on the record that there was no limit. But the practicality some people are displaying is very dismaying. More sex! More chocolate!

AND NO INTERNET ACCESS!

[phoenixsong]

Not even for getting new music? *wails*

Re:

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

Come on. Who needs file sharing when you have umpty nine audiophiles on the island!

[penchantnyc.livejournal.com]

Just don't make it a dessert island. She'd eat it. :)

[queencrckt.livejournal.com]

Sunblock. Books. No mommy pills. A hammock. And a big knife for the coconuts. OH OH OH and a bunch of blowup funiture and pool toys!!!

my list, as impractical as I could imagine

[ladyjendifi.livejournal.com]

+Several men to worship me, including Viggo Mortensen.
+A professional masseuse (preferably one of the above men)
+A large hot tub.
+An unlimited supply of alcohol-Tim can bartend
+Sand toys, surf toys, lots of sunblock.
+A fantastic stereo system with all the music I can handle.
+The roomies and their boyfriends.
+Our own private Disneyland, where I'm never working.
+A deck of cards.
+Lots of books, my paper journal and a pen or two.
+Clothing and shoes optional, maybe a sweater for night time.
