What Would You Take If Your House Was Burning Down?

If you had time to think about it (and take an artsy fartsy photo), what would you take if your house was burning? It's an interesting way of evaluating someone's personality with one simple question.

  • The Burning House is a Tumblr that asks this question. Users submit a list of their possessions along with a picture taken in the same vein of “things organized neatly.”

  • 2 cats. Purse. Cell phone. Computer. Photos. A change of clothes. A pair of shoes.  Things that would hurt to lose but I probably wouldn't think of: My books. My yearbooks. My cosmetics. My jewelry… especially stuff like my wedding rings and the ring from my grandmother… actually kinda hope I would remember those.

  • What do these pictures say about their subjects?  That they're all terrible people. I would grab my cat and my hard drive. Everything else is just stuff and can be replaced.

  • I'd grab a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water and put out the bloody fire or die trying. Otherwise, I would die while trying to decide what to take with me.

  • Hmmm,purse, cell phones, grabs the backpack of important papers & meds, grabs the kid's backpack of essentials (fruit boxes, pediasure, apple sauce, ramen noodles, & xtra clothes) & GRAB THE KID! (hee - relax, I got her first) I've actually been the survivor of a fire, you learn to disregard possessions, although keepsakes are always missed.
