What will your 5 things be?

[limestone]

If you're going to a tiny island and could take 5 things to help you cope with your emotions what would they be and why are you taking them?

[cariad]

wow , good question. okay
1) my gf because she helps me sooo much and shes wonderful.
2) my computer because i have BUS and lotsa online friends,.
3) my picture journal because i work in it when im upset/stressed whatever to stop me from si.
4) cather in the rye , because its my faverouite book and help me sleep.
5) music because i would go mad (er?) without it.

[dubbers]

1) My daughter, because without her, I am lost
2) Music
3) Pens and paper
4) My pets
5) Cigarettes and alcohol!

[wabbit]

1 my study bible
2 my journal (and pen)
3 photos of nice places, people
4 music
5 my hiking poles so i could go for long walks (already assuming i have the medication to allow me to walk in the first place)

[Searching]

oooh, I'm assuming this is supposed to be coping healthily though eh?

- My computer, assuming this island had high speed internet, and I had all my computer games and my music on it as well
- An infinite supply of white cheddar rice cakes. I know, not too healthy for my ED, but I still love them
- An infinite supply of sugarfree gum (in a variety of flavours of course, ditto for the ED)
- A big, soft, fluffy stuffed animal
- My mountain bike

I know, I cheated , but I had fun with it

[FarSideGirl]

---My husband because he would know exactly how to survive and the obvious reasons of companionship.
---Tons of cement and bricks and sheets of glass (that sorts out the home)
---A generator and infinite amounts of Petrol to keep it running.
---My computer
---A million mile long cable for high speed internet

[becs]

I would take...

My entire book collection
An infinite supply of ice cream
A few select Bus people
Some pets for company
A cell phone so I could get the heck out of there if things became unbearable

It just occured to me that none of us said ... A BOAT!!!! How else will we get home when we have had enough?

[Hiddendepths]

skateboard
half pipe
fosters fridge (just like the advert)
supply of fosters
a hammock

[demidivine]

i would take:

all the books i've always said i'd read but haven't
my friends C and S, who make me forget all the little things
an Ikea flat-pack shed, one of the big ones
an endless supply of pencils and paper

1. Can I take my therapist? Because that's what I would do.
2. The computer, and the internet - so I could communicate with BUS, and check my email, and have instant messager. What a luxurious island, huh?
3. CD's that I could play on the computer - that's a must. It would keep my occupied as well.
4. A camera, maybe a weird, but it would be a distraction to take pictures while I am there.
5. A fridge, full of good food, that never runs out, so when hunting animals gets boring and we're sick of fruit, we can have food. And you can't cope without a full stomach!

It just occured to me that none of us said ... A BOAT!!!! How else will we get home when we have had enough?

Don't need one, with all those things I am set for a while.

And when I do decide to leave, I've got the internet, and I'll have someone bring the boat out to me.



Good question!!

[tenar]

this is for coping with emotions? if so i'm leaving out the usual survival stuff.


- knowledge of when i would leave the island - i would find it easier to cope if there wasn't uncertainty
- rocky, my teddy.
- my cd collection
- O. if i'm allowed to take people, a copy of keats' poems if i'm not
- a lightweight woman's empacher single scull (the water round this island had better be flat and perfect for rowing)

[gui hong]

-Every book I'd meant to read, and every project I said I'd do when i got "around tuit" :p
- My children
-A babysitter :p (and a playground for the other side of the island)
-My journals and sketchbooks
-My music and keyboard

[Proximity]

my five favorite people.

or (going to think of stuff that would actually work on an island)

ummm complete set of norton anthologies of everything.
my ipod (and infinite battery)
a typewriter with infinite paper and ink
a cat
that should do it

prox.
[hello depression you're back again]

[fallenshadows]

Assuming that there is already the basic survival gear on their I would take:

Clothing, well cause nobody wants to see me run around nude
Music, mostly stuf fthat can help me relax
My dog, for company and companionship
Fishing gear, cause without that I dont know what I would do
My computer

[Jude]

Music - providing this island has electricity to plug in my stereo can i include cds in this one too?
pen and paper/sketchbook
my bed, couldnt cope without it!
pc and the internet? that might be pushing it
atleast one friend/family member

[fireflower]

my music
my computer
tv
my poems
my favorite cat
