    favourite thing you own + why?

    Anyone who says "my sword" will be poked repeatedly in the chest with a long bendy piece of metal while being forced to wear figure-hugging clothing and stand in odd and un-natural positions.

    That would have to be my RV.

    It makes driving to tournaments a whole lot more fun!!!

    I also have a poster autographed by all three members of Nirvana I'm pretty fond of....

    Well, I for one don't mind being poked and getting into weird positions, but since you seem so adamant, my SECOND favorite thing is my computer, my window to the world.

    Besides that which I'm not allowed to mention, & any humans that fall into the "favorite" category:

    1. My notebook & pen (for obvious reasons)
    2. My computer (for other obvious reasons)
    3. My books

    Yes, I'm a nerd. I could say my pics of Bruce Campbell & I...but I don't want to gloat (hee hee!)

    My cats (although I really can't say that I own any of them!

    Seriously though -- and putting it another way -- those belongings I can't really live without (i.e., what I'd have to take with me if Sandy ever kicked me outta the house), and in no particular order:

    My drum corps videos, cassets & CDs
    My field snare drum sticks so I can pound out my frustrations (note to self - go buy a new practice pad)
    The cat-shaped urn with Mischief's ashes (I guarantee that's the first thing I grab if the house ever catches fire)
    A good pile o' books.

    But my all time fave would be the wife, 'o course

    Purple, I think we share the same feelings about our cats! If I'd thought of it in January, I'd have had my cat's ashes in a kitty urn. But I have a great professional picture of him that the photographer uses as her signature piece. It's almost my favorite thing......

    I'd have to say my 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo, for the same reasons Latenight likes his RV.

    I would have to say my necklace. Putting it that way makes it sound weird. My brother got me a necklace that has a peice of rice inside a little tube. On the rice on one side is my name, and on the other side is a rose. When he gave it to me he said that I was his 'little rose.' Anywaz it means alot to me because I don't get to see him alot. So when I wear it (which is always) I know hes out there and still loves me.


    He he 86 huh? Nice! I just got my first car, so right now thats my second fav!!

    Well, if I mustn't choose a sword---which I otherwise would, hypothetically---I would say my library. ( Just don't make me narrow it down to one book! Can't do it, won't do it, wouldn't be prudent... )

    Of course, a large part of my library IS devoted to swords!

    Well,
    I don't own too much stuff these days, However my guitar would be my fav.
    It's rare, and I love it; not to mention the fact that I use it to make a living.
    Cheers

    My doggies, 'cause they're the sweethearts that they are! Although they act like they own me, more than vice-versa. All they have to do is look at me with those puppy eyes then I'm off getting food or water, or treats for them, or taking them on a walk. you get the idea.

    My books, and my computer are some others.

    I didn't want to seem like I was copying, so I quoted instead.

    Yes, My axe is my fave bit of non-fencing kit. That and my collection of barbie dolls, pornographic magazines, and my naval lint collection.

    ** Instant gremlin alert:**
    I love those little buggers.

    An African Grey Parrot named Java because I'm teaching him to say "Ready.... Fence"- actually he says "Ready" and I respond with "Fence"

    A Collin-Mezzin Violin- actually it's a reproduction., Why? Because I can make music with others! sorta like fencing....

    I think my fave atm is my transparent wind-up radio. I guess it represents innovation and ecological design and stuff.

    When I get my rain stick the radio may be pushed to second place. And when I finally get a sword - well, you never know...

    I would love to have an african grey but the amount of moving and travelling I do it is a little unpractical - maybe when I have my degree and my own place.

    So excuse my naivity, but who is Bruce Campbell? And what is an RV (obviously a motor vehicle but...)?
    I wish I could think of something witty to write here.
