    I voted C. I do a lot of theatre so I could keep myself amused forever with different characters.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    And, hey! Where's the Gah! Option?
    Seriously, I voted D. I mean, I would never find myself marooned on an island. I'd have to get there first...

    Coconuts. I wouldn't want to have to bury my friend after practicing my serve too much.

    Though I might end up eating my buddy...But cannibalism is a fairly common element in stories about people marooned on desert islands, so at least I'd be normal.

    C. I talk to myself, and I prefer isolation to the comfort of actual people, so no loss to me if there's nobody around.

    I'm marooned on the worlds largest Island... the West Island... so I don't think there is a need for any of the options.

    Well, considering I already talk to myself when I'm on my own, I chose C. Although it's not an actual conversation, I just think aloud.

    Also, like Papewaio, my home IS an island which is pretty expensive to escape.

    Same here.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I'm tending towards D but then if it wasn't a joke I would end up in C most likely.

    That is because you have never been truly alone. In a place out in the middle of nowhere, with no humans for an hundred miles, you may change your mind. ;)

    I'm not quite that extreme -- while a bit of an introvert, I still generally prefer being around people to always being alone -- but I *do* talk to myself a lot, and I still enjoy a lot of "me time". So I would have to say that going schizo is the best option for me.

    I'd definitely have my own wilson volleyball. Except I might name him William.

    I chose Wilson, not because i like volleyballs, but i'd probably just make friends with whatever inanimate object i chance upon.

    Anyway, i'm moving to Australia in 2 months. My future life plans leave the door open for the possibility of being stranded on an island in that part of the world. South Pacific, here i come.

    I'm a stimulating conversationist. I would love to be schizophrenic just so I could find someone as intellectual stimulating as me.

    I agree with CountArach, I would totally become schizophrenic. Espcially since there's no one else around to laugh at me. heh...
