Title: I found out yesterday, I'm going to die. (GAME)
Post by: DirtDawg on April 09, 2007, 10:40:36 AM
No - I'm not going to die, but if I was ...


I would abandon my wife and kids, for their own good.

I will need to get myself in a little better shape and maybe, some color for my beard, but I would find the youngest girl I could attract and get her pregnant.

I would then tie the two women together, so they would nearly hate each other, for all the kids' sake.


OK, that's not reallly mine, but it happens every day. You try one. Take as much time as you need.

Of course, I would smoke, drink, cuss and shoot things ...

I was thinking a little more long-term.

So this is not what you would really do, is it?  What would you really do?

I would try to find a nanny who would help my husband take care of my daughter, because I know he would not be able to do it by himself.  Then I would make some videos of myself telling my daughter things she needs to know as she grows older.

kill the doctor who gave me the DX, and burn all of his records.

then, i would take out a multi-million dollar insurance policy on myself.
and....
right before i was to die....weeks... i would step behind a top-handler at work, while on the payroll.  then my family would be well taken care of.

I'd go to Stop and Shop and buy about ten cans of frosting and ten of creamy peanut butter and spend my last day on earth puking my guts out.  It'd probably be what killed me.

BTW, I posted this in my LJ, but I'll post it here too since it's on-topic:  If I really do die on Wednesday or on Sunday (I'll be on planes), I want people to remember be as having been killed by my thesis, not by the terminal change in velocity.   :laugh:

It has to to with IMing versus interacting in person, emoticons, and intimacy.  It's the lamest, nerdiest topic I could think of, so I dedicated a year of my life to it.

I would fly to all the various points across the planet that my close friends have been scattered, and spend some last time with them.

I would prepare all my artwork and written records for archiving, make duplicates, and place them in the hands of the people I know who would be most likely to make some good come of them.

I would drink in as much sensation as humanly possible until I keeled over.

All my other ambitions have to do with continued life on earth and would be rendered defunct.

Edit: then I would have myself put into the most advanced cryo technology currently available.

I was kind of taking the redneck stereotype to the point of absurdity. I would actually do something similar to what you are talking about. Hoping for some humor, here, too.

I've wanted to die since I was about
10. Combination of curiosity, boredom,
and pain then. Got a little less emo
while in college, but still saw it as the
culmination. Now, my goal is to find
the RIGHT way to die, in order to
ensure ascension.

Nice. I was pretty sure that I would die in
either a car or plane crash. Knew what I'd
look like (and I can still manage that); I kind
of avoided driving in part for this reason. Seemed
the WRONG death for me - though a predestined
one.

Ditto, to be quite honest. But I want to kill, or even better, hurt for life, as many scums that I hate as I can before the cops get me. Preferably old bullies and/or some worthless politicians or such. But it's hard to accomplish and would be even if I had guns. The cops will get you too fast, before you've done all the fun things.

Not that I am any longer, and if I remain miserable, I
may start to need to hurt again.

violence. Plus, one can do so in such a manner as to
further one's goals.

I would only do it if I could do it on a very large scale, killing at least hundreds of people. I don't think it's noble to kill very few people randomly.

Even hundreds seems pointless -
unless one can get some action
out of it. For example, if I could
arrange a shooting spree, it might
help further the great goal of banning
guns.

You shouldn't help the anti-gun cowards even if you were to kill yourself, you fucking bird. It's bad enough with the cowardly European gun laws.  :grrr:

The gun laws interfere with enforcing the Frankenstein Computer
God's will. And since that will is slowly coming under my control,
guns are a mere hinderence. Actually, we're cultivating you for
improving the situation in the Netherlands right now.

This comment was made in reference to my almost becoming entangled with a younger woman who happened to be a teacher at my kids' school. Nothing happened, but there was an inordinate amount of sexual tension between us and there were some major physical contacts, which I resisted, in the long run.

In all honesty I'd probably try to find some way to see my mom; I'd probably have to tell her what was going on even though it would worry her.  And I'd go on a really disturbing rampage in which I told people in my life that I really did appreciate them and why, etc.  (Disturbing because it would be OOC)  Actually, I'd have to be careful, or I might die in a loony bin after some poor recipients of "I just wanted to thank you for X, Y and Z" decided to gang up on me and commit me.   :laugh:

It's just something I don't find entertaining to talk about.  But that's OK, I'll just stop reading this thread.
I forgot it was in the games section and so when I read the title it just freaked me out that it was being treated as a joke.  It's ok, it's late and I'm tired.

... but, what if you have a medical death sentence that is not so presssing or specific?
I have a friend who is suffering with MS. (I was not even thinking of him when I started this thread - I had in mind another friend who had recently died in a car wreck) He gets up everyday that he is ablle and goes to work, as a high school teacher. Some days he wakes up in the hospital, with tubes everywhere. He is slowly deterioriating to the point where his fun days willl soon be over. I wish I was rich enough to just take over his responsibilities for a year and let him have a "vacation" before he goes. I suppose he is doing all he feels comfortable with, though.

a sailboat, but just can't do it - I think mainly
for the fear of boredom/feeling unproductive.

I have very few regrets in the past from "NOT going for it". I usually regret it when my mind makes me re-think/over-think something and grind my heels in to resist an impetus. Much more often, though, I have just followed one of life's hard-ons and not considered the possibility of a dead-end around the bend. I have explored many dead-ends.

I would still help my husband find a nanny for our daughter and make videotapes for her, but I would also need to have the school district find a better transportation method for her to get to her school rather than me needing to travel each way with her.  It's totally worth it to me for me to do this, but he would not be able to continue doing it if I could not.

I would also sort and get rid of as much of my stuff as possible.  That was so difficult for us when my mother died.

Other than that, I'd like to drive a tank, shoot a machine gun, watch fireworks, ride a motorcycle going fast enough to take my breath away, & bury my toes in the sand and watch the waves one last time.

And of course I'd want :wine:.

In all honesty I'd probably try to find some way to see my mom; I'd probably have to tell her what was going on even though it would worry her.  And I'd go on a really disturbing rampage in which I told people in my life that I really did appreciate them and why, etc.  (Disturbing because it would be OOC)  Actually, I'd have to be careful, or I might die in a loony bin after some poor recipients of "I just wanted to thank you for X, Y and Z" decided to gang up on me and commit me.   :laugh:
7 years later... I wouldn't give her the courtesy, I think.  Because fuck her.

Funny to see how differently I think now vs. then.  It's been a hard seven years- the last four, especially.
