 If there was a fire, what would you grab? Instinctively, I feel like I would just take my computer and run. But I think, truthfully, I would grab all my handwritten journals. It sounds silly, but I have them safely bundled up and ready to go in case of an emergency like a fire. They go all the way back to when I could form my first sentences. One of my earliest entries is, "I played outside today." They're a large part of my life, containing almost all my memories. I say almost because sometimes I would forget to jot it down or be too tired to recount the day's events. You see, my biggest fear is forgetting. I guess it makes me a really big pack rat and the kind of person who feels the need to record everything, whether through writing or pictures. I try to take in everything in the moment. You know that feeling when you're somewhere new and you just want to let it sink in? It feels like that to me a lot of the time.

I would say that I would grab my laptop as well, but in all honesty, I'd probably just grab a sweater and run out. Later on, I'd whine on about why I didn't grab anything else.
I get that feeling a lot, possibly because I also fear forgetting things. I have the silliest trinkets in my room because they remind of me the silliest things. Ahhh. I should get myself a "In Case My House Burns" box.
Gosh, if I could carry my whole house, I would. But seriously, I would grab my camera drybox. All of my cameras, film, and negatives are stored there. On the way out, I'd grab my dog. Haha. :)
Computer, no question. Not because it itself is important to me, but because it's my window on a whole lot of things which are.
I... should have been really into written journals when I was younger, but in reality, they never quite caught my fancy until I went abroad. Nowadays, I'm back to not writing in mine at all. My life is undocumented, and that's sad.
