| Wow, This Is Difficult! Thankfully It's Only Hypothetical. Well Here It Goes... | Sep 4th. at 11:33:27 am EDT |

| Autumn (New York, New York US) | Age: 34 - Email |

Wow, this is difficult! Thankfully it's only hypothetical. Well here it goes:
1. Bug repellant! (who knows what kind of creepy critters may find me appetizing) 2. SUNSCREEN! 3. A collection of pagan chants 4. A knife to cut local herbs! Preferably my consecrated bolline, but any would do. 5. First Aid Kit (for those nasty possible snakebites and cuts, etc.) 6. The Illyad and the Odessey to pass the time and entertain myself. 7. A drum! (maybe I'd finally have the time and focus to get better) 8. A battery powered massager (no explaination needed there!) 9. A camera to photograph my, hopefully, beautiful and untouched surroundings 10.A picture of my live-in boyfriend to attach to the wall of my makeshift hut!

| Here We Go: 1)sun-screening Lotion (i Have Very Pale Skin) 2... | Sep 4th. at 10:20:42 am EDT |

| Artemis Moonshadow (Kfar Saba, Israel) | Age: 16 - Email |

Here we go:
1)Sun-screening lotion (I have very pale skin)
2)A solar operated radio/cd player (music is my sanity)
3)My CD collection (see above)
4)A bag of books I've read and haven't read but meant to (knda obvious why you must have books on a dessert island)
5)Notebooks and pens (for my poetry and writing)
6)Toiletpaper
7)A phone with a solar operated batery (I have to let my mother know I'm not dead while I'm on the island)
8)My cat (he's the guardian of my domain)
9)Deantal floss/mint chewinggum
10)Bug reppelent (I attract all sots of nasty things who "vant to such my bloood"
That's my list practical, on the island I'd probably meditate on the beach to the sunset, blissfuly skyclad and just relax, listening to music reading a good book and telling my friends on the otherside of the world that they should find their own island. The stars as my companions and my cat as my away from home family, I think I'd do quite well.

| Ciarrai (Somewhere in Somerset County, New Jersey US) | Age: 34 - Email |

(1) My cat b/c we're the only ones that can take care of each other (and I presume that cat food would fall under the food category of the immediate needs provided to me). (2) A good bar of soap that I could use for my hair & body. (3) A good moisturizer w/ sunscreen that I could use on my face and body. (4) ANTI-PERSPIRANT! (5) Toothbrush (6) Toothpaste (7) Writing Paper (8) Pencils (9) Portable CD Player (10) A good home burned box set of CDs of my choice to include the Stones, the Doors, Zep, Floyd, Mozart, and a montage of the silliest "one hit wonders" of the 80s.

| Asta (Kailua-Kona, Hawaii US) | Age: 16 - Email |

I'd bring my boombox, so I could pick up radio and listen to music. My CDs. A journal big enough to write in, unruled so I could draw. A set of crayons. My personal library. (Maybe that doesn't count, so I'll count each book I would bring as one.)
-The Best of James Herriot
-Three wiccan books and my book of Shadows My scrap bag with all my doll-making stuff.
