...an inanimate object, what would it be and why?

I'm stealing this question from another board I read. So far my favorite answers were an engagement/wedding ring and a ladies' bicycle seat. My answer was a child's favorite teddy bear.

(gee, am I pulling an Elios today or what?! ;) )

yes - you are being an Elios today...

anyways...

I would be an ink pen - that is just how important language and writing are to me.

A sword! I like the thought of someone chopping someones head off with me! :evil:

While I like the idea of a sword, I'd really hate to be drinking blood regularly. ;)

I'd be a shield. From the concept: If you're hitting me, your not hitting the one I'm protecting. :holy: :cool:

Trouble troll - be able to continue my quest of solving peoples problems
CD-RW - Give peopel entertainment and hold lots of stuff!
Onyx - I story I wrote has a ring in it - two kids have found it (brother and sister) The sister becomes obsessed with it and acts strangley, a with from the past comes back and asks for "Her Onyx" - The ring, they have to try and restore things to normal, while slowly being captured by the witches ring.
A China Doll - I'm superstitious...
A match - flame and fury!

A window. Such an important function that is used daily and yet everybody sees through it as if it wasn't there.

@The Deviant Mage - actually graphite is the most stable form of carbon, so you'd be slowly decaying into dull, gray graphite. :D

I'd either be a sword, or a bra. Why a sword? I think it would be cool to be a weapon. Why a bra? Because I'm a heterosexual guy, that why!!! :evil: :rolling:

Well, damn. Then I want to change my answer to water -- in one form or another, I'll be around forever. Plus the whole water cycle thing really keeps things interesting; one minute I'm soaring over the Andes, the next I'm hurtling through the Amazon.

BTW, that 'Diamonds are Forever' line is really misleading. :p

I'd be the cornerstone of a big church or cathedral. I could support the structure while millions came and went, worshipping God within the structure I provided.

Either that, or a dining room table, passed down through the generations. I'd want to be the place where families came together to eat, talk and pray.

Well, If I were an inanimate object, I would love to bee a dagger. Sharp and deadly, swift and silent, not as loud and brash as a sword. Something that can be concealed, something that can strike and disappear without a trace... You get the point.

(Am I weird or what?)

A bridge!

I would go up and down whenever I want, especially when there are people driving/walking over me :evil:

A window: to let the light of the sun and moon shine through to light the homes of people living in the dark.

Your favourite warm, cousy sweater: Makes you feel safe.

Horn/Trumpet: Both in the hands of a Jazz-musician for that freaky tune, and in the hands of the Soldier: Last Post and to hail the King. (what is Loftrompet in English?)

I would be a computer screen. Hey I'd see Vermillion more than I do now! :grin:

My friend's (she's a girl) computer mouse, So her hand will be on me... or her shower curtain... or even a Baldur's Gate cd-case...

Hmm, I think I'd want to be music. Yeah, music, so that I would be heard and appreciated by the masses. Oh yeah, that's a good one.

A book. So people could laugh and cry at the same time.

Yeah, I know. Weird.

Or maybe I'd like to be Éomer's helmet. Heee. I have an obsession with the thing and then I could be touching HIM all the time. :D

Eze hides behind a Legolas cardboard cut-out
