Even Though It's Not Friday Anymore

 

A Friday meme from Stennie: "Name a {something} that you have and none of your friends has."

This should be good. Ok, let's get started:


Name a CD you own that none of your friends does:
I actually don't have that many cds. About 2 shoeboxes full. So, I'm thin on choices, so I'll avoid the whole Rock genre. I'll guess that I'm the only one who has the Dead Again soundtrack. I'm probably also the only one who has the Carpenters "Yesterday Once More." And don't you laugh, I love that cd! Am I the only one who has the musical "Closer than Ever"?

Name a book you own that none of your friends does:
On the other hand, I have a ton of books, but none of them are that obscure. Probably no one has a copy of Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children"? Or Dr. Seuss's "Fox in Socks"? Or what about the Velvet Underground book"Uptight"?

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that none of your friends does:
Now this could be bad, cause I only have about six or seven movies. I'm hoping I'm the only one who has "How to Get Ahead in Advertising." And if you haven't seen it, SEE it. It's hilarious. I acquired this movie because my brother rented it and lost it and then much later found it again, but by that time the video store had closed, so now it's mine.

Name a place that you have visited that none of your friends has:
Well, Jellybean's been to England and France. And I can't think of any place cool I've been to in the US that none of you lot have been to. So how about Amsterdam? Anyone been there? How about Padova, Italy? HOW ABOUT Evansville Indiana? Anyone been THERE?

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think none of your friends has:

Well, I'm not on forefront of the technology folks. I have some stuff, like a laptop, a camera phone, an MP3 player, and a DVD/VCR combo. But everyone has that stuff. In fact, I tend to be the last one, or next to last one, to get things like that. And I have all kinds of things for music, like a guitar tuner or a 88 key piano/synthasizer, or a 4 track recorder. But I bet I'm not alone in owning that stuff, most of the musicians I know have a lot of that stuff.

So, like Bet, I think I'll focus more on the "tool" aspect here. And I'm wondering...am I the only one with a Notary stamp? Am I the only one who has a Hummingbird electric flosser? Am I the only one who has a thing you use to peel oranges so you don't get the yucky peel stuck under your thumbnail?
