1. You can take some stuff with you. Not a boat, ship, plane, raft or other device that can take you off the island. What would you bring? You have five objects to choose.

Only objects? Crap. Okay: well -

1. BUN-BUN (He's like a person even though he's my stuffed rabbit who has accompanied me since year one).

2. Clothes for all kinds of weather. Alternatively lots of needles and thread.

3. A big-ass knife and knife sharpener.

4. A fishing pole with all required accessories.

5. A tent that is so durable and weatherproof, it will last for years and years and years.

2. What area of the world would you like to be stranded in?

Moderate climate (no crazy weather patterns); place where I can fish and eat vegetation and fruits effectively; hmm crap what about wintertime - crap. Hmmm...okay by moderate, I mean moderate all year round.

3. What does your personal island look like? Vivid descriptions, please.

Beautiful. Filled with vegetation, animals (but no deadly ones - birds and such). Lots of trees for shade. Places to hide and sleep (like a few caves).
Like I said, about 70 degrees fahrenheit (20 degrees celcius) all year round with moderate wind and sun, occasional rain but no monsoons or crazy crap like that.

4. What natural resources are available on the island?

Oh hey, I can have this??? Schweet, that makes it easier. Plenty of kinds of vegetation - fertile soil so that I can grow my own food. Lots of wood for fire (that means good trees). Lots of flint to make fire. It should have sharp stones that can be sharpened to make pointy things like tools. It should have a clean water source so that I have an eternal source of water. It should have a safe place to swim for exercise.

5. What would you build on your island?

I would love a little hut or house, but seeing as that is impossible by myself - hmmmmm...lots of tools and devices. Let me think about this.

6. What devices, tools and stuff would you construct? To what purpose would you use them?

Awww man already talked about this. Spears, knives, flint, needles, skewers to cook food,

7. Should there be wild animals on your island or do you want to survive entirely on fish and vegetables?

Little ones. Otherwise no.

8. Describe, come with ideas. Tell me stuff that I haven't asked, but that you want to tell me about your island.

Damn. Not feeling very creative, and I have to teach in about twenty minutes. Let me give this some thought and I will revise my entries and get back to you.
