Expendable's tags:
You're spending a few months alone on a deserted tropical island, somewhere in the Pacific. There's a big plastic chest packed full of basic survival supplies plus boxes of canned food waiting for you in a tiny shack, so survival isn't really a problem.
 
You're allowed to bring three things with you. What do you bring?
 
My answers later.

    1. full set of Encyclopaedia Britannica (I had always wanted to read it from cover to cover; I got tired of waiting for the movie version...)

    2. my favorite stuffed-toy tiger Raja (so I have someone to talk to, like in Calvin and Hobbes)

    3. a pack of mint-flavored breath freshener (because, who knows, a fetching Eve-like creature might accidentally get stranded on the same island...)

    I'm assuming that a toothbrush and soap and all would be in the basic kit. ;-)

    I'd bring:

    At least a ream of paper
    Pens of every color of ink imaginable, with about one out of ten being basic black
    A pile of texts on philosophy and various world religions

    1. A dynamo radio with cell phone charger and an led flashlight built in, like this one. I only wish it got SW too.


    2. A OLPC laptop about half-filled with ebooks. I'll keep it charged with the radio. That way I can read and write.


    3. A big, fluffy beach towel. Very useful for many things ^_-

    i have to go all douglas adams on you and pick a towel first & foremost. after that, though? a solar-powered generator and weather-resistant laptop with gigs and gigs of memory so i could write to my heart's content.

    expie -- Dang, I should have thought of the towel. Can I change my mind? I'll drop the mint-flavored breath freshener and bring a towel instead. For when the fetching Eve-like creature arrives and catches me sun-bathing in the nude... :-)

The voices in my head prevent me from wanting to be around most people. It is hard to differentiate between them and people making fun of me unless I can read their lips. Then there's always the possibility that these people don't exist. Then again,...
is there a pill for a good life??...
I have alts? Who are they?...
