Ask Me Anything Meme #13 What do I take out of a burning building? Also AOS ramble

[milleniumgypsy]

Your house is on fire and you can only take 3 things with you. What do you take? (I'm so fatal XD) jeune_fleur

Oh man, I remember last summer having to do something like this when the fire alarm was going off in our apartment building. I was in such a panic though because the cat was freaking out and we had to find the ferret. xP

I grabbed my backpack and shoved in my laptop, Scottie's netbook, my sketchbook and Thor. I'd wanted to grab a doll but I just got overwhelmed by what to choose and didn't take any. Plus I knew that Scottie would prefer if I didn't stay in a potentially burning building for stuff, and I'd seen smoke in the hall.

Ok, so I'm going to not count the ferret towards stuff because he isn't stuff. I'm also not going to count things that I wear all the time- so my wedding ring doesn't count and neither does my Loki pendant. Also I usually have my phone in my pocket. Maybe the phone is sort of cheating but work with me here you know how I aaaaaam (I had the Loki pendant and rings on when I ran out this summer, and likely would have had the phone too except I wasn't using a smartphone at the time)

My requirements for grabbing things to run out of a burning building with are that they are portable and easily accessible. Pets don't count in the easily accessible category.

I'm basing this entry on what I ended up grabbing in the heat of the moment then because that makes sense. But still only three things? That's less than what I took that time. xD


Ok, so the first thing that I'd want to take is my laptop because it's expensive and useful and full of important things. After thinking about the doll thing from before, I realized that I should have grabbed one doll- my BJD Saya. She's very special to me and also one of my most valuable items, and she would be difficult to replace. I can also upgrade grabbing Thor now that I have that I have the Phase One Marvel set- It comes with Thor and the Avengers as well as other movies and my Tesseract! It fits my requirements as it is easily portable in it's case and easy to grab.

Perhaps there are better things to grab, but that's what I thought of. n_n'

Hrm, what would you take if you could only take three things friends?

I watched Agents of SHIELD tonight. Some of my feels under a spoiler cut:
Me and Scottie can't tell if Ward is actually conflicted or not. I'm not sure though we do believe that he really has feelings for Skye.
I was so amused by the lanyard thing. xD LANYARDS WILL BE GIVEN OUT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. I love that actor. He's awesome. xD
I feel like there is going to be problems with Fitsimmons.
Me and Scottie were amused by the Slingshot program being a fake. This coming from Fury, the guy that used Tesseract tech to make weapons and start an alien invasion... yeaaaaah. Obviously he's not going to actually want to give up all that stuff.
Ok, so I got too tired to actually make a more coherant post about that, but still. n_n'

LOL There I was thinking I would just take any important documents like insurance papers and stuff with me and leave everything else, but now I feel the need to add a couple more: my external drive, which has everything from my work and personal stuff stored, and my plush dog Luey who has been with me since I was like 9 months old. Of course, like you, I'm not counting Vilya because she's not a thing.

lol, I am amused that both in this entry or when I did it IRL did that sort of stuff even occur to me to grab. xD The closest to that sort of thing are some folders in my filing cabinet (one of my folders has letters and cards from my gramma, and the other folder has letters and things like the stuff Scottie used in his proposal to me- but my filing cabinet is a bit messy atm and doesn't fit into my requirements of "easily accessible and quick to grab")- still those are sentimental papers and not "important" papers.
One of the reasons I took the computer though was because that sort of fills that requirement, it has all of our wedding photos and videos and things like that.

As I told Scottie when we were waiting outside- "Priorities, I has them!"

The external drive and plushie sound like good things to take!
