No, not really, but these are some things about me that might be rare:
A book you own that no one on your friends list owns:
To make this hard, I should try for fiction, since something like Teach Yourself Cultural Studies is probably unfair. The Rescue of Ranor, by Wilanne Schneider Belden. A childhood favorite, a great story of a reluctant witch in a world in which magic and science literally repel each other and curses come true, Phantom Tollbooth-like; in an early demonstration of the power of the Internet, my dad found and procured a copy for me some years back after I mentioned my nostalgia and inability to find a copy. He's a great dad.
A CD you own that no one on your friends list owns:
Camouflage, Neighbors. I bought a lot of CD singles years back, many of them at Seven Inches Dance Records, a store owned by my high school English teacher, a gay man who'd wear a very tight T-shirt that said "Seven Inches" on it. You all may find this hard to believe, but I was years out of high school before I got it. Sadly, the store is now called something like "DJ Records," even though it's still in Dupont Circle.
A DVD/VHS tape you own that no one on your friends list owns:
I could cheat with Willful Infringement, the anti-copyright screed, but how about The Day After, purchased for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misterrivkat's post-1973 American history course? [ETA: Ter has that. How about the wonderful but relatively unknown Holiday, the best Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant movie you've never seen?] [ETA again: Nope. Kids in the Hall, Tour of Duty?]
A place that you've been that no one on your friends list has been to:
Not a big traveler. Probably can't pull this one off. Ames, Iowa? [ETA: Nope.] Mount Desert Island, Maine?
