....want to go ahead and write my will. Is that awful? Or is it more awful that I'm going to talk about it on here?
I figured the will-writing would be easy to do, seeing as I have more debt than assets. I know I want all my books donated to the Sutton Public Library, unless there are any that anyone particularly wants. I would call dibs on my old falling apart copy of Secret Garden, it holds many memories of good times.
(this is creepy, isn't it.)
when i finish writing this i will buy that filing cabinet that's on my list and put it in there. but some things I am putting in the will are more of action type things that you all can know about. I want my body donated to medicine. Whether it's donor organs or to the med students to cut up. I don't want to be buried. I want to be able to help others. And I don't want flowers at my funeral bc nothing creeps me out more than funeral flowers. I want ppl to donate to charities. I don't care what charity, as long as it's something they believe in. And I don't want a super sad nonsense. I want a photographic slideshow of fun times. I want it set to bitchin music like the Bay City Rollers and Rusted Root. That is what I want, so if you are still reading this whenever it happens, please make sure someone knows.
I don't normally think about things like this, but two young women that are friends-of-friends have died in the past 2 weeks. One in a car accident and one shot. And it's times like this that you remember how precious life is and how little time we have here. I think this may be our one shot do to it right, to love, to share, to hope. I want to be the best me I can while I'm here. And we all know I have problems with that sometimes (or all the time). And that's partly why so many of my goals are doing things for others bc I want to give something of myself to others so that maybe they can pass that along too. if i can momentarily make life wonderful for someone else, then that's what i want to do. and thats why i want happy music and funny photos. i want people to laugh.
How about something less depressing now. I have started looking into Banned Books for my ten to read. I've been pleased to see I've read quite a few of them (my beloved Dr.Zhivago was banned!), some even in school, so ten points to you, b-county educational system. As of right now, I think I'm going to read:
-John Steinbeck Grapes of Wrath (which frankly, i can't believe i've never read)
-James Joyce Dubliners
-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
-Margret Mitchell Gone with the Wind (again, i can't believe i havent read it, esp for as many times as i watch it a year)
-Daniel Defoe Moll Flanders
-Dee Alexander Brown Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
-Robert Cormier Chocolate War
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
-Stephen Chbosky The Perks of Being a Wallflower 12/13/08
-Jack London The Call of the Wild
so if any of you have any of above books and would like to let me borrow them, well then i'll give you a cookie. they would also make excellent christmas gifts. *hint hint hint*
so. i guess that's all i've got on my mind right now. i have this song stuck in my head. it is a sad one, but very beautiful.
life's changing faster than I can keep up.
