meme time

[threeplusfire]

Stolen verbatim from imaginarycircus because I am often a sucker for LJ question meme time.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

I think about how strange it is to make new friends at this point in my life, because there's so much history. I've written in this livejournal for almost eleven years now! Thousands of pages of writing all told, an almost unbearable excess of memory and lives.

I have written two versions of this - the practical one where there is nothing on this island and the not so practical where I live comfortably in a coconut hut & a magic supply of food and don't have to worry about surviving.

Practical:
- a lighter
- a knife
- one of those shiny space blankets
- first aid kit
- The Engineer of Human Souls by Josef Skvorecky

Not so practical:
- My bat squishable
- The Miracle Game by Josef Skvorecky
- The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
- Cyteen by CJ Cherryh
- coffee

oddly enough, not only have I not read any of those books, I've never even heard of them. *shifty look*

squishables would be awesome on a desert island. So many uses, and company too! =D

I tried to choose books that represented three of my favorite things (Slavic lit, novels of manners & science fiction) and that I knew I could read a thousand times. Skvorecky is really my all time favorite author.

I would definitely need Squishables. They hold warmth, so you would never be cold and lonely at night!
