I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Both of my parents donated their bodies to the U of Iowa medical school. After the school was done with them they were cremated. Right now my dad is in my brother's office and my mother is on top of my sister's bookcase.

I want to send them into space but I can't convince my siblings.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My dad wants his ashes scattered in Yosemite. Grandpa's scattered at his ranch. Grandma was cremated and is I guess at my uncle's house. Great-grandma, likewise. Other grandfather is buried down in Colma, and Babushka is up in Santa Rosa in a site of her second husband's choosing because he's kind of an ass. Well, more than kind of, but not because of that particularly. We don't have a lot of tradition to fall back on, is my point, I guess.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am donating to med school. The idea that I get to help science even after I'm dead--AWESOME.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My dad's brain is going to Science.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It seems weird, but I kind of like the crash test dummy idea.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My high school English teacher had a daughter in med school. She told us her daughter brought back all kinds of stories of first year pranks in anatomy classes--like sewing up a hard boiled egg in someone else's cadaver's scrotum and giving out prizes for the most interesting tattoos.

I'd like to donate my body to a med school or body farm.

When I was a babybat wannabe, I used to take rubbings of the coolest, oldest tombstones I could find and write stories about the people who were buried there.

If you're cremated, you can fit many more people in the family plot, as it turns out...

My cousin, when she bought her family plot (mixed burial and cremation... repositories?) added a couple of extra cremation spaces just in case any of her cousins (she only has five of us altogether, I think), you know, needed a place. Really, kind of touching.

Kids in high school used to ask my twin sister if I was a witch. @@ If only.
