whoops!
1. Since there are still a bunch of gaps in my calendar, I was planning to fill some of them with recs for other people's meme posts! Alas, I was so busy reading people's posts yesterday that I forgot to actually... rec anything. ><; To make up for it, have a few of the posts I've enjoyed so far:
♥troisroyaumes: Favorite Asian dramas and Starter dramas and dramas vs. anime!
♥qian: Geek authenticity and its symbols
2.kate_nepveu asked me: After all the essentials, what's the first thing you'd take out of your home in an emergency?
I found this kind of difficult because... what do I consider essential, beyond "survival" things? My phone, for contacts reasons. My desktop, for data reasons- my thesis stuff has been backed up religiously in multiple online and physical locations, but everything else? Not so much. My ipod, because my music collection is one of those un-backed-up things. My books.
Obviously, emergency situations would preclude me hauling away a desktop or a bookshelf, but those items are replaceable. (My data is less so, but since I'm out of school now this is less of a problem than it otherwise would be.) Phone and ipod are easy enough to locate and grab at a moment's notice and so would be in with my essentials.
What's left? Hobby things, really: my dance shoes (I have a lot of them), my violin, the piano (another un-removable object). When it comes down to it, I'd take the violin first. There's a good decade of my life bound up in that instrument, and we bought it from one of my teachers, not a violin shop. Dance shoes have a certain lifespan, you know? They scuff, they break, you wear holes in them and stink them up and eventually get rid of them. Instruments, though, live longer than we do.
