Reading the deceased's obituary got me thinking about my own death.
I know we mourn the passing of others because we are so used to them being around, and we will miss them, however, I don't want some lame ass, boring funeral where everyone just cries and walks around eating food. I also want my obituary to be more original. Sure, my obituary can say who outlived me, and who already died, but I think I will pre-write my obituary with fill-in-the-blank spots for the names. Maybe something similiar to this:
Rough Draft of my Obituary
Angelique lived an awesome existence;
she loved hanging with Bea,
attending many Phish shows & wearing happy pants,
marrying Tim, raising Aiden,
dancing to more Phish,
getting fat then getting fit,
spending times with her family & friends
and petting pussies.
Angelique also really loved:
hula hoops, bubbles, things that glow, and things that bounce.
She was survived by: (list survivors.. don't forget surviving pets!)
She was predeceased by: (insert those that died before me; including pets!)
The celebration of Angelique's life & transitioning to her bodiless existence will be held: (insert place and time).
Even though you might be sad or missing me,
rejoice, because now, not only do I get to go braless, I can also fly!
