My computer with the cable modem (ug cant deal with phone modem anymmore) (and there better be a cable hook up on this island ^_^ ) 2. Cigarrettes (but only enuf to last me one pack for five days (hey maybe I could try to quit again) 3.The book House of Leaves and my book of shadows 4. My small collection of c.d.'s (yes all of em i need the variety) and cd player with unlimited supply of batteries) 5.Set of runes 6.Cauldron, crystal ball, and incense mixture of patchouli, jasmine, oppy, cypress, and musk 7.And lastly being the gemini that I am, a recording of generic responses and replies so I can have someone (sort of) to talk to and argue with when theres no one online. (just so I wont crack from lack of interaction with others) |

Ivy Greenwood says: 1. MY CHILDREN!!! I can't stand it even when they just go spend the night at a friend's house, so they've GOTTA come along! 2. A case of books (cheating, I know, but I have very eclectic tastes in books and I LOVE to read---one or two books simply won't do). 3. My Tarot cards 4. My Swiss Army knife, because I'd feel naked without it 5. Waterproof matches 6. A teakettle 7. Teacups 8. Lipton Green Tea with Orange, Passionfruit and Jasmine. Otherwise I'll curl up and die. 9. A dental hygiene kit (Did you see Tom Hanks' TEETH in "Castaway?" We are NOT goin' there!!!) 10. Biodegradable shampoo |

Stranded on a desert island, with plenty of food and shelter....hmmmnnnnnnn... Is is a fully furnished tree house? If so, then... 1)one set of oil lamps with a large drum of citronela oil 2)A cell phone, with full signal and long life battery for those "how do you make friends with a tiger?" questions. 3)The Mists of Avalon *Bless MZB! 4)soaps, tooth stuff, basic cleaning the bod stuff that smells good! 5)Neverending journal and pencils. 6)Nagg Champa in case jasmine is not growing all over the tree house. 7)Pillows and blankies 8)A large cauldron 9)Pictures of my kids. and finally 10)A radio with good stations for music and talk, so I can sing along and feel like someone is there. I must admit, being a Sagittarius it would be very hard to be alone for that long for me. I would love the solitude for only so long and then I would probably befriend a coconut or something. I love the idea of a big elaborate tree house with open walls and solid floors. A big cozy overstuffed chair and a little fireplace and I am set for a bit! I guess I have taken this to fantasy land, but for me this would be ideal! I think if I were able to pick the terain, I would chose a small clean water grotto with a waterfall as my back yard on this little island! :) Blessings to you all! See you on the island! Zeyra |

Solar powered battery recharger to power the ... 3. Shortwave radio and the ... 2. Portable GPS Unit, to help me guide ... 1. A boat. (What can I say, I'm practical that way!)

first off, I would bring all four Beatles as they were in 1963 (but they would age like me and wouldn't have wives or girlfriends or kids or commitments to anyone but me). A neverending bag of condoms and birthcontrol-pills since they'd be there (teehee!). A really good computer with accessories (connections and electricity would be on the island). All my magickal supplies. All my art supplies. All my friends (including relatives). Last of all, all the cds in the world except for all pop music made later than 1995. Am I materialistic or what? PS> we'd never get off the island since it'd be heaven |
