| what I would take with me if my house were on fire |
[Apr. 25th, 2012|10:04 pm] |
I came across this website recently and I've been thinking about what I would take with me if my house were on fire.
Taking this picture really put my life in perspective. While the majority of things in my apartment are used on a regular basis (clothes, records, knitting supplies, books), most things aren't that important to me, or are at least easily replaceable.
knitted things (only a few are in the picture but I'd take as many as I could carry - they're all in a bin by the door anyway)
camera
two camera lenses
macbook
some drawings/letters from friends (under my computer in the picture)
wallet
nightguard
keys
my grandma's necklace
my hard drive, with all my pictures and documents and written things
a few photos, including a photo strip of my mom and I when I was 2
bag
Mollie (and her orange caterpillar)
my childhood teddy bear |

you know what's awesome? when you have no family to celebrate holidays with and your best friend's mom asks, "you're coming for Easter right? I'm making you a basket!" |

My beautiful cat Tommie, who has been living with my mother in Kentucky for the last year and a half, died. She was only 7 years old, and it happened so fast. I was there for Christmas and she was fine. A few days after New Years she started acting strange - sleeping a lot and not eating, and barely being able to walk. My mother took her in to an emergency vet. She had kidney failure: she was only born with one kidney, and it was half the size it was supposed to be. After a few days, we made the best decision we could and put her to sleep. I feel so heartbroken.

It is a ridiculous demand which England and America make, that you should speak so that they can understand you. Neither men nor toadstools grow so. As if that were important, and there were not enough to understand you without them. As if Nature could support but one order of understandings, could not sustain birds as well as quadrupeds, flying as well as creeping things, and hush and whoa, which Bright can understand, were the best English. As if there were safety in stupidity alone. I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extra-vagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limits of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have become convinced.... I desire to speak somewhere without bounds; like a man in a waking moment, to men in their waking moments; for I am convinced that I cannot exaggerate enough to lay the foundation of a true expression. Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever? -Thoreau |

it's been almost a year since I've seen my mom. I love webcams. I love my mom. 21 in 2 days. |
