Social Director Post: Fire!  
Situation: After making a delicious meal, reading the news, and a cup of warm tea, you are ready to turn in for the night. You fall asleep quickly, and immediately fall into a lovely dream. Right as the dream is getting good, you are awoken by the smell of smoke, and a low rumble. A spark from your kitchen fireplace landed on a rug, and burst into flames!!!

You have just enough time to grab any four items from your house before it is too smoky, and you are forced to leave. What four items do you grab, and why? [we will assume you are dressed well for any condition outside.]



I was asleep, and this idea popped into my head, so I'm pretty incoherent at the moment. lol... I hope I did it justice and explained it correctly!! >_<

omg this is like one of my worst nightmares becuase I'd try everything in my power to get everything out if I couldn't put out the fire.

1.) All the pets (I have more than four and I'm not leaving them D: I'd put the fish in a cup though)
2.) Computer Tower (I think I'd cry if I lost that)
3.) Photoalbums/scrap books (I'm most likely fling these in the bunny cadge while so I could carry everything better...No I haven't worked this all out already...)
4.) ughh...oh! autographed CDs and what other little collectibles I could get at.

Your answer is so like my own. This is like one of my worst nightmares becuase I'd try everything in my power to get everything out if I couldn't put out the fire. ~ so very true.

And all my pets too would be rescued, I would rather burn myself than lose them.

Assuming my husband can run out on his own...

1) my cat, Ten
2) my cat, Pandora
3) my computer
4) my iPhone

Man, I'm predictable.

What a nightmare indeed! Since my dog is usually staying with my mother:

-my stuffed toy clown I got for my birth(!) and which is always sleeping in my bed
-the suitcase I packed a while ago for exactly that kind of emergency (I kid you not! It contains everything someone on the run might need, including a copy of 'worst case scenario: a survival guide')
-my purse
-my copy of Jurassic Park (I need to reread this regularly; also, books give me confidence)

Four ITEMS (so I'm excluding my lovely Siberian Husky, Patch):
-Laptop
-Cell Phone
-Purse (which has my car keys, wallet, etc.)
-Suitcase full of clothes and shoes (I'd just throw whatever was in my dresser or on the floor in there)

I love this activity and have done variations of it with the staff teams I've supervised over the past two years.

Presently, I'd take:

1) my computer
2) my degree (I just got it in the mail a week and a half ago, would hate to see it burn)
3) my silver photo frame clock (the clock is engraved and was given to me in honor of a very prestigious regional award--one of my greatest personal accomplishments--and has photos of both of my nieces in it)
4) my wallet

(Thankfully many of my other valuable possessions are in our unattached garage atm while I await another move next week.)

lmfao ya know..I never thought about my mom. More like OMG PETS OMG MY THINGS XD
[identity profile] wolf.livejournal.com on June 28th, 2008 08:32 am (UTC)
Haha! At first I didn't have her in my list but then I felt bad. xD *grabs her AND my laptop...somehow!*
[identity profile] niicole-m.livejournal.com on June 28th, 2008 11:26 am (UTC)
There is a simple solution to that.
Laptop down your pants, Mom in arms. Win, Win ;p

I didn't think of my mum either, I just kind of assumed she'd find her way out.
My bad ;p
[identity profile] wolf.livejournal.com on June 28th, 2008 06:04 pm (UTC)
Haha, what a perfect plan! xD

I thought that too, at first, but then I remembered that she sleeps like a rock. ^^;
[identity profile] starrybluenight.livejournal.com on June 28th, 2008 08:16 am (UTC)
Well I'd want money and files and such so I'd say my phone, purse, mac mini and a file container that holds some important docs.

oh man. i agree with [livejournal.com profile] tragicbeauty11 about the ITEMS part, so i'm excluding my puppy, too.

1. my laptop. is it kind of sad that most of us are including this?
2. a box i've had packed for a year filled with all of my important papers, books, things i've written, etc.
3. my purse, which is kind of like cheating because i could my entire life as well as someone else's inside of it.
4. all of my collectibles, which are also in a box.

Since my kids are old enough to get themselves out. I'm going to assume they get out safely. Same with my husband.

1. My purse
2. My laptop. I don't think I could live without it.
3. Important papers.
4. My Hufflepuff bear

This is something I have a phobia of seriously, losing all my stuff is a hideous thought. I hope this never happens.

~ My mother.
~ My dogs, I have 8 but would have to get them all out.
~ My mobile phone because that is how L contacts me.
~ My hair straighteners.

Though I would probably go back in to get more stuff and get charred like Freddy Krueger probably.

[identity profile] wolf.livejournal.com on June 28th, 2008 06:05 pm (UTC)
LOL! If you we're charred like Freddy Krueger I'd still love you anyway. :3
[identity profile] ex-crucioed.livejournal.com on June 29th, 2008 09:25 am (UTC)
All I would need then would be a glove(rs) :P

I haven't thought about this much, actually. *unprepared* D:

1. My cat!
2. My books (or any that I can grab quickly)
3. My purse
4. Probably my guitar, I love it so ; ;

Wow! I've been through this, so I hate to even imagine it happening again! I would go with:

1) The candleabra from my grandparents 50th anniversary celebration.
2) My photo albums.
3) My purse.
4) My cell phone with it's charger.

Last fall, on my birthday, the fire alarms in our building went off. And it was hilarious to see what people grabbed and brought outside with them...but here's my list (and yes, I did bring the first three with me!):

1. My computer
2. My camera (it's a rather expensive digital SLR and it's my baby)
3. My purse (with passport and other important things in it)
4. My Winnie-the-Pooh bear (I've had it forever and he's traveled all over the world with me...my mom really resents that the bear has been to more countries than she has!).

1. my wand - so I could put out the fire.
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. N/A

=D

But seriously.
I'm sorry! I HAD to, it was too easy.

Seriously, though, here's my ACTUAL list. Excluding my puppeh, because that would be a given.

1. My guitar - seriously. Could not live without it.
2. My laptop w/case - I have all of my important stuff on that laptop, plus I seriously keep all of my ID/passport stuff in the case, so it's perfect
3. My photo album - if I lost all of the pictures I've collected over the years, I would seriously mentally collapse. I'm very sentimental about my past, even though I don't really DWELL on it all the time.
4. My cell phone - I have a LOT of contacts on my phone, and no home line. That's like my link to everyone.
[identity profile] destinyfroste.livejournal.com on June 28th, 2008 08:39 pm (UTC)
1) My laptop, my life is on this thing *hugs Jabberwocky*
2) My car keys, pretty obvious reasoning, but more so because I always have spare clothing and such in there.
3) My cell phone, again, obvious.
4) My passport, better to have international ID than local

I'd grab my computer, but carrying a desktop out of a burning building just doesn't seem feasible because I couldn't carry anything else! :P So...

1. Autographs (they aren't easily replaced)
2. Photo albums (tons of family memories)
3. iPod (music makes me feel better -- no doubt I'll need it after the fire!)
4. Um... *thinks* money?

Man, I'm uncreative! XD Above all of this, I'd want my family to be ok.
