Aw, Simon, I'm touched that you want me to accompany you as you transcend the physical world. Or do you just want me around so that I can help you move the sofa?
I don't have a will, but I have told my parents how to transfer my savings account to my checking account and where I have a blank check hidden. As for my belongings, I'm sure they'll all be given away to family members during a raffle following the graveside ceremonies.
I did have a will of sorts when I was thirteen. It basically said how much I treasured some people and how much of a living hell other people had made my life. At the time, I was very depressed and suicidal. I never knew if or when I would finally kill myself, but I wanted to make sure that I justified my actions and said the goodbyes that I wanted to. Fortunately, I ended up never needing it.

Never too late to go ahead and off myself? While I'm sure that some people would be dancing in the streets and sipping fine wines if I were to leave this plane of existence, I do not forsee that happening in the near future. I don't rule it out, though, since there are always the possibilities of my life taking a major downturn or the medication ceasing to help.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Do you people really have so much stuff that you have to write up instructions for its dispersal upon your untimely demise?
Actually, it's about ten pages of messages to people I care about. About three lines are about my physical possessions. I don't like leaving things unsaid.

"Needless to say, I had the last laugh", and "I hope you're happy now"...
...appear a lot on this will?

Let's see. CD-RW, Katana, 17 pounds (big turkey dinner ) , 5 or 6 games. and a fair bit of snow the day after boxing day.
So except for the snow a fairly good year.

Getting into this a bit late, but never mind...
Warm underwear, a couple of hundred pages of assorted Dan Simmons, a book on the history of tempering systems, another on a national artist, candy, a very nice shirt, more candy, and renewed subscription to Aviation Week. And snow, snow, snow. (Plus tickets to "The Two Towers", a bit after Christmas but still in the spirit.)
The scary part is, the only item I asked for was the first on the list. And I slept through New Year's Eve. I'm spending worry-filled minutes each morning now looking for other telltale signs of advanced age.

MaGiC: Kingdom Hearts is wonderful, especially if you like both Final Fantasy and Disney, which I do. My brother got me Suikoden III; it's a nice RPG with great story and a system that takes getting used to, and for some reason I just couldn't stop playing it. I think I logged over 40 hours between Dec. 20 and 31.
