Monday, May 31, 2004

While normal people prepare their to-do list in the morning, I think about what mood I want to be in for the rest of the day.

That’s why I’m happy without reason, bitchy without excuse, and hopelessly depressed over nonsensical matters.

But I love it when I decide a day should be a “quiet day” and people would come up to me and say “are you feeling unwell?”

I was never afraid of death. It’s the process of dying that I’m afraid of.

I don’t want to be a statistic in road accidents.

I don’t want to be the body found in the parking lot.

If anybody would dare shoot me, I’ll beg that he shoot me in the head so I can be quick about it. Forgive me if I make a mess.

I hope somebody will have the decency not to cover me with any tabloid or broadsheet.

Falling from a building is out of the question.

Dying of hypothermia is seriously considered.

Drowning is painful, as I have discovered a month ago. The ocean is so eerie that I’ll probably turn into a ghost.

I’m scared of chemotherapy. I was never even connected to a dextrose. Beneath the white-washed walls and alcohol scent, I find hospitals dirty.

They can do anything with my body parts. They could burn what’s left of it.

I don’t have any last will and testament (Books will go to friends who want it).

I hope that my friends and enemies alike leave my guestbook in peace.

I don’t want to go without experiencing love as I have read it from Anne Mather’s books. And before my expiration, I want to go to New Orleans, England, and Greece (plus a quick side trip to Rome for the ruins of Mt. Vesuvius).

I don’t want to live forever. But it would be wonderful if people still remember me ten years after I'm buried six feet under.
