    And you could take only one thing (not counting wallet/purse and keys), what would it be?

    I'd take my computer and if I didn't have time for that I'd grab the flashdrive from it.

    I can't help it, my guitar knows how to satisfy me in such mysterious ways.

    guitar- I'd die without her. At least if she was all I had left we could go off and start a new life together. But also I would have to have my cat, hamster, rat, and roomate. I love them all too, I'd feel bad letting them go down with the ship as I sat outside where it was safe playing my guitar- just watching the builing burn. maybe I'd play wreck of the edmond fitzgerald or something or I ain't got no home by woody guthrie...it could be good times.

    I'll have to agree and I'd grab my guitar


    "Cause I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done
    Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
    You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
    I do just fine, my car and my guitar"

    I'd save my porn collection which took me 7 long years to compile [​IMG]


    On a more somber note this is the 4th anniversary of the station nightclub fire which killed 100 people and injured 200 others [​IMG]

    my latest system backup dvd so i could start up again where i left off if i get a chance to again while the tecnology to read it back is still available.

    just about everything else worth rescuing is on there.

    precisely so that it CAN all be rescued in one easy to grab convenient little package.

    .../\...

    as for livestock or guitar, i haven't any.
    as for wife, i'm pretty sure she'd be already out the door before i was.
    (and then wanting to run back inside to rescue her damd collection of every come on from a loan shark she's ever been sent in her life, i'm pretty sure, i HOPE, she would actualy have better sense then to do that)

    My laptop because it has all the photos in it. Or maybe my drum because it has so much sentimental value to me. I can't choose between those two.

    If my family and cats were safe...

    No question in my mind it would be my notebooks. I have seven years worth of writing in there, and it is irreplaceable. I've been writing since I was 13 and it is almost like a time line of my mentality and my growing up.

    Most of the writing is bad, but the sentimental value I have for them...... *sigh*

    I'd be admitted to an insane asylum if I lost all my writing. It's a common fear. I know Stephen King put his manuscript for Carrie in the freezer everynight, thinking it would be safe in case of a fire, until someone told him refrigerators can explode in a fire.

    Nothing. Just the people and cats.
