I’ve been tagged by my friend Trucie to come up with a list of 10 things I would want to save from my home if it were suddenly engulfed in mysterious flame. This was a no-brainer for me because many years ago, when I was about 22 years old, I did actually wake up in the middle of the night with my apartment on fire. I’d been storing some boxes of my sister’s clothing & stuff out on the (wooden) porch while she was away on holiday and some fucktard decided to find out how well they would burn. And so by the time I woke up (luckily I’ve always been a light sleeper) and smelled smoke the whole porch was in flames and the porch door and windows had exploded into the front room. I was living with my musician boyfriend Ian at the time and, after making sure he was awake, I threw on a dressing gown and hustled him out the back door. You see, when it actually happens your mind doesn’t think about possessions. At least, mine didn’t.

Of course now my first thought would be to stuff the cats into the extra large carrier I bought specifically for this purpose (back when I had three cats) and get them to safety, along with me and Nog. So, that’s only four things. Though if there were enough time I’d probably grab my iPhone too. 😉

How about you? What would you save?
