radio that sticks to the roof of your head

today, i went to help a friend of mine (older lady) named Pat with getting some charity stuff on eBay. there were any number of issues that came up with the computer stuff, so that didn't happen. at one point, i was wrestling with the cable connection (after having wrestled with the scanner and the photo editting program), and she goes "god, this ( Read more... )

also, i have stopped bothering to capitalize things that are not proper names. because i am lazy. and because this is my journal and i'll do it however i goddamn well please. fuckers. CAPITALIZATION NAZIS!!

i'm with you!

also, this has made me think about what i want done with my remains. my organs can be donated, and after that, whatever-- i'm DEAD. i just don't want to be kept in an urn, or even to have an open-casket funeral. i want to be remembered as a living person, not a body or some fucking vase of ashes. i guess cremating me and then burying the ashes somewhere would be fine by me...don't quite like the idea of being scattered.

yes, i find people's attachments to people/things that are no longer functioning and useful ridiculous. i mean, $5000 minimum for a funeral?! wtf?!

well, i can even understand attachment to things...they're memories. and i want to have the memories, not the funeral. i mean, even the service itself doesn't bother me; i just don't like having the image of my grandfather in his coffin among my memories of him, and certainly not as my last memory of him. you know?

ah, i see. yeah, that does make sense. i suppose i should've clarified, too; i spoke in reference to the remains, rather than the memory. remembering someone is to me never a bad thing. but, like you said, seeing someone looking all waxy and fake... well, it isn't something i would find comforting.

So.... your dad finally decided to kill you? :blink:

...i'm wondering...

I have no idea what will be done with my remains, I'll probably be conventionally buried somewhere.

I do know what I'm doing with my husband though... (he's seven years older than me, and he smokes, so it's a safe bet he'll go before I do) I'm gonna cremate him and put his ashes in a jar some where in my bedroom. Maybe next top the bed, so I can say good morning to him when I wake up. I'd be awfully lonely otherwise.
