labro

@audrewuh I am actually shocked nobody else said wine. I mean come ON???

Swazzle

I love that we're all going to get nice and fat on our islands with all this pizza. 

Can our islands all be near each other so we can swim over to visit when we feel like it?

GoldenPenguin

AH! I missed the books!! 

I'm copying @Swazzle and bringing the HP series (because one just won't do it), Little House on the Prairie, and She's Come Undone.

I ALSO feel bad for my husband.

audrewuh

@AlPacina  Can we combine islands with other friends? I'd like to share @labro's wine and movies, @untouchablets music, @GoldenPenguin 's people, and @swazzle forgot to pack Mean Girls. 

untouchablets

I would have said pizza and beer but I'm a hopeless caffeine addict and pizza and coffee sounds gross.

GoldenPenguin

I change my people. @swazzle and @csousa1 are essentially just one person, so @labro will technically be my third. 

GoldenPenguin

ALSO, I'm 100% judging @jenna8984 for not having favorite books. What kind of monster ARE YOU?? 

jenna8984

@lavenderfields13 All I can think of is the movie Madagascar "kitty likes the fish!"

jenna8984

@goldenpenguin Sorry I never got into reading. I was always playing sports or hanging out with friends or listening to music, I just never had an interest in reading. I brought Fault in Our Stars on my honeymoon and it was my first book in 20 years.

GoldenPenguin

Huh, I wonder how I managed to play sports, hang out with friends, be a part of 84909 other things, and still read like a civilized human being... 

It really just makes me sad. 

labro

I didn't realize being a huge reader meant that I didn't have time for hanging out with my friends, playing in sports, or participating in multiple other extracurricular activities. I'm just going to go burn my three bookshelves worth of books now.

ETA:
@jenna8984 Not even anything in high school or college? I mean yeah....some of the required reading was pretty snooze tastic....but you don't have ANYTHING memorable that you liked?

jenna8984

Never said that I didn't have the time, just that I didn't have the interest. People are interested in different hobbies, don't have to be rude about it.

My thoughts on reading: 

untouchablets

I wish we could have four books. I want some ghost stories!

minskat30

I'm terrible at these games because I always have more questions than I do answers and I always cheat and don't listen to the rules.  For example, are pets "people" or "items"?  Does the food/books/movies just have to be for me or for the entire group?  I'm going to assume my own answers and also try not to cheat (too much) by making one of my items a fully fueled boat.

- 3 people: H for sure.  For NEYrs, I'd probably say @Peaseblossom55 (who is one of the kindest and most supportive people I wish I knew in "real life" that I'm thankful to know in virtual life for now) and @labro (who is hilarious, loves Rajah almost as much as I do it seems and also seems very handy...at least I hope she is because neither H or I are).  I'm not counting Raj as a "person" per my question above...though he is named after royalty.  

-3 books: HP series, the best survival book possible and Alice in Wonderland 

-3 movies: Casablanca, Dirty Dancing and Eat, Pray, Love.

-3 albums: Joni Mitchell's Blue, the Eat, Pray, Love soundtrack (especially "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young) and Phantom of the Opera or some other compilation of classical music.

-One Food and Drink (other than water): Food: I'll go with Nachos...loaded nachos.  Drink: Wine...glorious, glorious wine that I can't wait to drink again in early June...does that make me sound like an alcoholic?

-3 random items: Rajah (come on, you don't think I'd leave him do you?), a computer with the internet and sunscreen because I'm white like a ghost.

Peaseblossom55

I would be so sad without books and reading.
