1. If you had to flee from your burning house, what would you choose to save? Explain your choices.
When I was in hs and we read the book Knite, about the holocos, we had to answer that question after the SS people came and took the jewish people out of their home.
Unfortunately, a simular situation happened to me about 5 years ago when I was in grad school and it was raining and raining for a few days. I was coming home from school and my mom was getting home from visiting my father who was in the hospital. We walked in, my mom freaked out. there was 6 inches of water down stairs. My house is a split level so it wasnt a basement. My room was one that is down stairs. So I ran down stairs and I grabbed two things.
My laptop computer and my box of very expensive baseball cards.
I thought, if I lost everything else, I would be ok with having these two items.
the computer had all my school stuff in it and all my poems. Plus it's expensive to buy another one.
My box of very expensive cards.
The time, money, blood, sweat and teers collecting all those cards
I use to say that the cards would be my down payment on a house.
2. Which is better: Harry Potter or Twilight? neither
3. A picture of your shoes that you are wearing today. Why did you choose these shoes?
new balance, size 9.5

43. silent night of sadness
05/16/2006
tonight I am so far away from home
the air is silent, as a car drones
It has been raining for 4 days
and I am at a hotel, my home is so far away
on the news, water raises to the second floor
firemen had to breakdown another's door
closing down major highways
the streets are filled with cars, like a gridlock maze
3 floods in 11 years
a lot of memories, money and tears
the air is cold
I'm 28 but feel 100 years old
on the morning's news
list of canceled schools
emergency numbers and places you can get food
as well as rain, giving me the blues
After four days of rain
its just so hard, so much pain
the memories of the other major rain fall
I just cant take it, that's all
it ruined mother's day
staying in a hotel, so far away
I can't believe we had this
silent night of sadness
