Ten Things I Would Save From A Fire – Polished journal
November 13, 2006
If my house were to catch on fire and I could grab ten things, I have absolutely no idea what they would be. See, my parents just happen to be in the antique business… meaning that we have endless amounts antiques in our house that are all pretty cool. But, since we have all of these cool things, it makes my decisions difficult (and I am already terrible at decision making). So, I think I would just try and get stuff that is personal to me. For example, my pillow. I really like my pillow. I sleep better with it, and it’s just something that I would be really sad to lose. Another thing I would want to grab would be my favorite sweatshirt. It’s actually my cousin’s sweatshirt, but it’s really big and it’s soft on the inside. Something sentimental I would want to take with me is my grandma’s “slide bracelet.” It’s been in our family for a really long time, and it’s really pretty. It also is something that reminds me of my grandma. Another thing that I would want to grab is my i-pod. Even though this is something that I could easily get another one of, I still would like to have it, and it has all of my music on it and such, and it seems like something that would be easy to take with me. Hmmm, I’m trying to think of other things. There is also this picture of my entire family that I would want to take. It’s all of my aunts and uncles and cousins. But I also like it because it’s from about six or seven years ago, and it’s got my aunt that passed away. And right next to this picture is a family portrait that I drew when I was in maybe third grade that is similar to the family picture that was taken at the family reunion. But anyways, one of the only other things I can think of is this silk box that my aunt gave me. It just has a lot of stuff it in. It has pictures and letters from my grandma, and it has jewelry and just some other stuff like that. That is about 7 things. But that is all I can think of… other than like furniture and stuff. I would also want to save my fat cat. Her name is Fatty. But, Ms. Chiang said we couldn’t… so that’s probably it for what I would save.
