And.. I don't think it's particularly morbid or unusual to think about such things as "What would I do if I was going to die... tomorrow, next week, next year whatever..." I think it's a pretty standard self evaluation.

Assuming I'm in decent health I would.

Sort out my will in no uncertain terms.
Hold a gathering to say goodbye to friends and probably a separate one for family.
Maybe try to finish off a few of my scripts I never finished.
And, to be honest, probably spend an evening with a prostitute. (If I had a partner I'd be spending it with them but I'm Single with a capital S.)

I don't feel the need to travel the world or over indulge. I'd be happier giving my money to friends and family than blowing it all.

I'd be lying if I said death didn't scare me. I think it scares everyone from time to time, no matter your religious beliefs. But I'd try to go gracefully. But if I'm due for an lingering, agonizing death, I'd definitely go for the suicide option.

I honestly don't know what I'd do. Maybe I'll just have to get there first, or maybe I haven't lived enough. In either case, I'm sure that whatever I would be doing in such a scenario, it would end up involving lots
of hysterical laughter.
