If i had to pick something id definatly go for a book. I wouldnt know which one to pick though... probably either my copy of Lord of the Rings (which is more than twice as old as me - i have always found that quite cool) or my copy of Gormenghast (which has meticulous notes and such throughout... probably my most irreplacable possession).

I don't blame you in the least--I have an autographed copy of The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, and it's probably the first thing I would grab if my house burned down. (My cat can save herself, right?)

My LotR copies have been thumbed through so often that a few key pages are gone, so I can't reread them anymore. Still, they're my favorite books and I've had them since childhood. Despite their worthlessness, I'll never toss them.

Probably the marked up scripts of all the plays I've been in over the years.

My heroin needle.

...kidding, of course.

On a more realistic note, the key to my dorm. I doubt I could live without it.

My old headphones, they broke a couple of months ago, but they went everywhere. And my battered hi-tec squash trainers, I don't think I wore any other shoes for like 3 years, and they've just gone and changed the design to a shit design, so I can never buy a new pair. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to stop water getting through the hole in the right foot., I can get three fingers through that hole now and I still don't want to give those shoes up. Also, you can't see it in this picture, but the laces are fluorescent.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.

Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY

Ska- why d i get the feeling what i typed will end up in the quote depository; or worse: someone's sig.

KinGAleX- I did it on the couch a little while ago.

probably the paper roll I have hanging on my wall - it's a 5' long listing of the powers of two, printed by an IBM System 360. I got it from an old engineer at the Computer History Museum, I was hanging around the room where they're restoring an old System 360 to demonstrate.
Wow, that's a geeky one.

Probably also my first place in nation award from the FBLA-NLC, because it's an emblem of my geekyness.

  • Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
    Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
    Girls are like phones. They love to be held, talked too but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!
    There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
    When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
    You laugh because I'm different...........I laugh cause I just farted!
