Writer's Block: Left Behind

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'd like my body to be harvested for zydrate, and all my friends to have a hit and...

Oh, wait. I don't live in REPO! The Genetic Opera.

Hmmm...

I would like any usable parts of my body to be donated to help other people. I am listed as an organ donor, and I'm all about that. Beyond that, whatever makes my family happy is fine with me. Mom wants a big Irish style party, with lost of music and drinking and people telling stories and such, and that would be awesome. I would prefer not to have a Baptist style funeral, where someone is trying to convert people over my corpse, because I think that is creepy. A few tears, a lot of laughter, and everyone taking some flowers home with them would be awesome to me. A lot of my family is buried in Marlow, and if that would be convenient, then that would suit me, but I'm so not going to care at that point.

Oh, man. My crazy Uncle Tom is a born-again Baptist/Anabaptist/something or other, and when Father Byram opened the floor at Mom's funeral, I got up first. Then my sister. Then Tom walked up to be podium. And the entire family went, "Oh god NO." We compared notes afterwards; every one of us dropped our heads and winced when he got up there.

Luckily, he didn't try to convert anyone. But man, it was a close shave, and all I could think the whole time was, "My mom hated you about as much as you hated her, so TALK FASTER."

Conversion funerals are just bizarre. I mean, who wants that as their testimonial?

"I wasn't sure about Jesus, but he touched my heart over Great Aunt Esther's dead body, and now I'm born again!"

Weird.

I'd want to be spread as ashes over a garden. I spread so much fertiliser in life, might as well be consistent in death. ^_^

That sounds about right!

Agreed!

And welcome! Kick your shoes off and stay a while, if you like.

If I lived in Repo! when I died I would want my body to be kept in a hole in the wall and have holographic pictures of me all over the hallway.

I would also like to give my blind BFF my eyes and my daughter-to-be my hair.

:D

Journal raid. muahaha.

I would also like to give my blind BFF my eyes and my daughter-to-be my hair.

And my husband a guilt trip that would turn him into a killer...

According to Heinlein, all we need is a finger to make soup and eat you after you go. :)

My grandmother wished a S. Baptist funeral on her family when she went. She meant well, but damn!

I'm going to have a kitty to buy folks drinks, and have someone throw my ashes, with, not into (don't want to end up all over someone) the wind off Camels Hump in Vermont.

I think I'll pass on Fremily soup. Ya'll are good, but I don't know if you are MmmmMmmmGood!

*laughs*

Yeah, you definitely don't want to dust someone with your remains...that would be awkward.

LOL I love your Repo! answer! :D

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I'm slightly obsessed with Repo! right now.

If A-N-Y-O-N-E does a cattle call at my funeral I W-I-L-L come back to haunt them.

I really don't expect St Peter to ask me "So how many alter calls did you do in your life?"

Agreed. I'm all for informing people, but there's a place and time, and I have never thought that was it.

[brotherwilliam.livejournal.com]

Oh, and BTW, standing up. So I only take 2' by 1', cause "here lies ..." always sounds so lazy!

brother william
But what am I to say, I'LL BE DEAD!

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

Makes sense to me!
