No funeral for me. Cheapest cremation possible.
Yep, set me on fire and scatter the ashes, or, if fiscally feasable, have some of my ashes shot into the sun, please. Thanks.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Let my body putrify for a week or two, then dump it on the White House lawn.
(Depending on who's in office at the time, of course.)

I'd actually volunteer for the eaten-by-vultures option. Post-mortem, for preference.

That'd be cool.
Or if they'd need to test what happens when a person gets sucked through a jet engine....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh yeah, I forgot to say - donate everything that ban be donated, take everything that can be studied, burn the rest.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I wanna go to the Body Farm!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
To hell with that no crying crap. I want people bawling their eyes out at my sendoff. There'll be plenty of good food, and stories and laughing are also encouraged, but tears are mandatory.
eta: Donation and cremation as well, but still with the tears. Wailing is acceptable. And I'll probably put a clause in my will handing over all my signed first editions to the first mourner who ululates.

I gave myself a minor head injury on Friday while getting into my car.
That's how I got my last black eye. There was also blood.

the pine casket isn't that obscure a tradition
Hell, it's been a plot point on at least two Law & Order's.
I've signed the papers for my body to go to the local medical school, to be snickered at by med students. If something goes awry with that, it's the Body Farm or anything useful. I wonder if I could leave my body to Mythbusters to shoot or blow up or something.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Howdy hey.
Just finished submitting my first resume of this jobhunt. I've been very good about looking and networking and making lists, but not so good about the doing the verdammt resume. So this is quite a triumph for me. I hope I at least get called in for an interview. The job would be very exciting and a pay boost, but it would also continue my tradition of high stress jobs... which is a tradition I'd like to discontinue.
Now I have to compose a new resume for a totally different job. And I need to find more jobs that I'm qualified for that I feel like I'd actually want to do.
