If you were stranded on a deserted island and could bring only 5 things, what would you bring?
Before you start complaining, remember, I didn’t say 2 or 3 — I let you bring 5 freaking things.
Shelley’s 5 island gotta have items:
1. I really want to say my iPhone because I am totally in love with it and could spend hours playing with the apps even if no one wanted to talk to me. I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be electricity for a recharge, so my #1 item would be a deck of cards. I could gamble against myself and win — sure to keep up my positive mental attitude.
2. I want to next say my computer, but again remember the whole electricity thing, so I’m going to take a knife. I figure that I can massacre head hunters, whittle sticks into fishhooks and stab wild pigs for food. Yes, I watch Lost. John Locke would be very disappointed in me if I chose otherwise (he’s probably pissed because I picked a deck of cards first).
3. Coffee. Yes, seriously. And I can use the Starbucks bag to catch rainwater.
4. Boat. I figure a boat might come in handy if I ever want to attempt to get back to civilization. Besides that, boats are awesome. I hope it has plenty of gas, and oars on board in case the tank gets empty from me using it to make fires to brew my coffee.
5. Libby. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to ever love her as much as me.
Other things I considered: Ben, my favorite brother, Perry, Alisa, Sherry, Jerilyn, toilet paper, flares, my pillow, a tent, sleeping bag and a flashlight.
What about you?
