How I would like to die. || Woes of a tv-addict. || Livejournal

The other day, I was randomly thinking about how I would like to die. I mean, sometime in the distant future.

One thing I came to realize is that the thought of dying in my sleep scares the shit out of me. Also drowning. And I don't think I'd very much like burning to death.

Anyway. This is how I'd like to die...

It'll be mid-week. The day will be warm and sunny. Perhaps a slight breeze. I'll be walking down a slightly busy sidewalk. (I'm not yet sure of my destination) A person will bump into me and I'll feel a slight pinprick in my arm. I'll apologize to him/her (cos, I'm Canadian and that's what we do) and I'll turn my head to watch them for a moment or so wondering what sort of piercings they have or if they've left a pin in their clothing for stitching purposes before I crumple to the ground dead from poison. After the autopsy reveals that it was poison that killed me, people will wonder if it was accidental or if I was targeted. And if I was targeted, why?

So. How do you want to die? JSYK "in my sleep" won't be accepted as an answer.

This is not about, "Well, if you don't like it, don't watch it. Blah blah bliddity blah." This is about seeing it through to the end.

I enjoy most of the many shows that I watch. But there are some (and at the moment all I can think of are New Girl and Terra Nova) where it's just, 'Oh, God. I have to watch this. Ugh.'

And that is one of the reasons why I would like to be paid to watch television. Who's with me?

Well. I like the new comment page. And sure, not having a place for a subject line might be annoying in some places but I think I'll be okay.

I will be staying here. But if you want to friend me on dreamdwidth the name is the same. Just. Let me know and let me know who you are. Please.

Thank you for the v-gift, anon. :)

I wanna die doing something cool. Like being held hostage in a bank robbery and one of the robbers says they have to make an example out of somebody because the cops aren't meeting their demands. So they grab some random person, maybe a girl, maybe around my age, and her boyfriend is there with her, or her little sister, and for three seconds, I think about how terrible that would be for them to see her die, so I stand up and say no, I'll go instead. And boom, it's over just like that.

But really, I just don't want to go by drowning, or any form of not being able to breathe. Burning does sound pretty horrific, too.

Oh, man. That is awesome!

And yeah, the whole not being able to breathe thing frightens me. Unless it was super quick but I imagine that it's usually not.
