Deserted Island Journal

Day 1 - Our lifeboat ran aground on some tiny island in the middle of nowhere. Water as far as the eye can see. Since I didn't have time to pack my bags before our ship sank, I'm stuck with the same clothes for like forever. That's going to really suck. I'm not alone though. There was one other person on the lifeboat with me. I thought we got along pretty well but it turns out my 'freind' doesn't even like me. I hate it when that happens because she's really nice to look at. We got into an argument about something and she said she would rather take her chances with the sharks than stay here with me. Some kind of self preservation thing must have kicked in though because she didn't do it.

Day 2 - My plans for my personal island resort has hit a huge snag. It turns out I can't find anything sharp to cut with. Where is the Fed Ex package that washes up on shore conviently holding an ice skate when you need it? My 'friend' is complaining that I have no survival skills. My 'friend' also has no survival skills but when I metion it she says that we're talking about me at the moment and not her and my attempts to change the subject will not be effective.

Day 3 - I'm starting to get really hungry now. Anyone considering going on the hunger fast diet I would beg you to reconsider. There are small animals that might make a good snack running around but I have had no luck in capturing one. I think it has to do with the fact that I don't have anything sharp to stab them with. The good news is that there is nothing large running around that might want to eat me for a snack. We did find some berries to eat. I was going to pop one into my mouth when my 'friend' pointed out that they could be poisonous. She had a point so I suggested that she eat one first, just to make sure. If that icy stare she gave me was real ice I would have been frozen solid. I was only kidding but I guess some people can't take a joke.

Day 4 - My clothes are really starting to smell now. When you can smell yourself, you know you really stink. Since we are probably going to be here a long time, I've been trying to get along with my 'friend' but she has been keeping her distance. I was thinking a nice hot shower would be good but all we have is an icy pond. I refuse to go into it though because you never know what is lurking just below the surface.

Day 5 - I forgot to mention that there is an active volcano on the island. At least I think it's active. It makes funny noises all the time but so far it hasn't blown it's top. There is a flowing stream where we are getting all of our drinking water from. So far we haven't had any ill effects from it. We just try not to think that some animal might be using it for a toilet.

Day 6 - I think my 'freind' might be realizing that she doesn't want to go stark raving mad and that she will have to accept that I'm the only other person alive that she can talk to. So she has started talking my ear off. It was pretty cool at first, but I think my brain is overloaded now. btw. I ate the berries anyway and I guess I just lucked out because I haven't fallen over dead yet.

Day 7 - I still haven't gotten a word in edgewise with my 'freind'. I'm starting to think that maybe we arn't compatable. She's still nice to look at though and at least that's something. I would hate to be stuck on an island with someone you couldn't stand to look at, but I suppose you would get use to it over time.

Day 8 - A ship passed by us today. I had no way to signal them to rescue us so I just sat on the beach and watched my old life flash before my eyes. My 'freind' started shouting at the top of her lungs and waving her arms frantically. She was saying something about not being able to stand another day on this island with me but I can't say for sure that's what she said because I had stopped paying much attention to her at that point. It must have worked though because the ship stopped and rescued us. That had to be the worst week of my entire life.
