If all of your friends were jumping off a cliff....

ladytiamat seems to have started a meme-avalanche on my friends list.



Name a CD you own that you think no-one else on your friends list does.

As far as I know, no one on my friends list has a weakness for cheesy country music, so I'm going to go with Dolly Parton's Super Hits.

Name a book you own that you think no-one else on your friends list does.

Let's try The Sea of Tranquillity by Mark Haddon*, illustrated by Christian Birmingham. It's a wonderful children's book about a boy in England in the late 1960s who dreams of going to the moon. I originally bought it for my nephew, but I loved it so much that I ended up keeping it. (I did buy another copy for my nephew eventually.)

*This is the same Mark Haddon who wrote The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no-one else on your friends list does.

OK, this one is a killer. If the question were about DVDs in general rather than just movies, I think I'd be pretty safe with my exercise video collection. (For example, I'm guessing that none of my friends own Walk the Walk, Leslie Sansone's "Christian-Inspired Workout.") But we just don't have that many unusual movies, and most of the ones we do have are really more lhn's than mine. My best bet is probably Warriors of Heaven and Earth, which I bought essentially at random as part of a "buy two, get one free" deal at Borders. I haven't actually watched it yet, but I understand most critics thought it was pretty terrible.

Name a place that you have visited that you think no-one else on your friends list has.

lhn has been to any even remotely cool place I've been to, so my only chance is to pick someplace extremely dull. Has anyone else been to Stockton, California?

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no-one else on your friends list has.
A Freestyle Flash blood glucose meter. It's an amazing piece of technology, but I hope no one reading this ever has a chance to try it out.
