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

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

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I fully intend to live to a ripe old age, but if any of my organs are still worth having when I shuffle off this mortal coil I want them donated to anyone who could use them. The rest of me can be cremated and buried (not scattered -- like Hec, I want to stay in one place).
