ellyssianWhen I die...
1. What would you like to have happen to your body after you die?
-I'd like one of those stereotypical unrealistic Viking funerals - build a full sized longship, stick my body on it, push it out to sea, and pepper it with fiery arrows. Yep. Nothing extensive. =)
2. If possible, do you want your organs donated? (Why or why not?)
-Definitely. There's a little girl - who I expect is about three years older than me - with my brothers eyes. Literally. This is a good thing, if it can be done. I'd have no further use for them.
3. Have you thought of what you would want your funeral to be like? (details?)
-Thought I covered that in #1. Outside of that, I covered it, kind of, at the end of #2 - I wouldn't be there, so it's not for me. As I have no interest in the matter, I don't see why I should dictate it. Yeah, I can see this cutting short the meme a wee bit.
4. If you were to die today, who would you want to give your eulogy?
-See the second half of #3 - it's not really for me, is it?
5. Which (if any) song(s) would you like played at your funeral?
-I can't hear them, but I'd hope folks would listen to stuff I like. Maybe talk about the different bands or composers or so on. Maybe go home with a listening list. =)
But, really, that's not for me to decide. I won't be there, see, so I won't feel bad if a favorite tune isn't played.
6. Do you want people to wear black at your funeral?
-Nope. Purple, head to toe. I insist. Oh, and see the second half of #3.
7. How do you feel about untraditional disposal of the body? (having your ashes turned into diamonds, donating your body to exhibits such as Body World, etc.?) Are there any you would consider?
-My way is quite traditional. It's been used in movies about Vikings since the dawn of cinema.
8. Do you want an open casket?
-Longship. An open longship. Didn't you read #1?
9. Would you want the ceremony to be religious?
-Well, other than the bits involving Odin and various other Norse gods, not at all. Read #3 again, please.
10. Anything else you would like to say?
-Sure. Lots. More poetry and fiction would be nice, as well as a lot of good, bad, and ugly posts from now until as long as possible. And so on.
