Emperor Norton is one of my role models.
If you lived in San Francisco you'd already be an Empress.
People left pennies on Norton's tombstone. The two shiny ones you see on the left are from me and Emmett. Tribute was given to the Emperor.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

The status is NOT quo.
I like graveyards but have no desire to take up space in one. I'd rather have a tree planted (with a plaque, if my loved ones wanted something written). Cremate me and toss my ashes in the ocean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I like graveyards but have no desire to take up space in one.
Me too. Part of me would like to have my ashes shot into space, but another part of me sees that as a huge waste of resources.
I know! Use my ashes to fertilize catnip....

My brother got this crazy idea somewhere that he wants a bench to be made of his bones (including skull) in a park or somewhere, with a vaguely pompous plaque that then invites you to sit your ass down on him. He wants to continue to unnerve and alarm people in death.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
A lot of my relatives are buried down in Colma, which I only learned recently. Don't know which cemetery, though.
Having purchased my burial plot, I have gotten to lie on the grass where coffin will be buried and check out the ambience. FTR, it's lovely.
Love Emperor Norton. In favor of Empress Jilli.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I already have a grave site, in Massachusetts. The cemetery where my grandparents and several other relatives were buried was filling up, so my mom purchased six plots -- her own, my dad's, me, my sister, and our future husbands.

I went to the gym, did not kill any tourists on the way home, and my arms are sore from lifting weights. Someone send a cabana boy chef to my place so he can make me dinner.
Or I could just heat up leftovers and cook tomorrow.

And ALLYSON! YAY! Just catching up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think my mom bought grave plots for me and my sister, but if I'm buried I don't want to spend eternity in Hartsville TN.
