1) my violin because music always calms me down, especially when i'm playing it
2) my mother's laptop because it has internet so i could go on BUS because i can't talk to anyone but you guys
3) this little box of things that is full of all the special things in my life... both good and bad that always remind me of who i am and where i'm headed
4) my journal because i for sure couldn't surive without it
5) a whole library full of books because that way you can escape your life when it gets to be too much, and, well, reading just rocks!

OK, I'll give it a try....

1. My Bible, because it reminds me of truth
2. My palm pilot with several games to keep my hands busy
3. An "adequate" supply of history/biography/philosophy books, to keep my mind busy
4. A notebook and pen to write down thoughts
5. A baseball bat, because sometime it just helps to smack something
Fearless warriors in a picket fence
Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end
And we are caught in the middle
