There is absolutely nothing wrong with this topic.  I remember once Kitkatz was considering starting a thread concerning our preparation for that time.  I wish she would do it.  It is something you know you should do, but you don't want to. But it makes everything easier for the ones who are left if we are prepared (to whatever extent one can really be prepared!)

I would like to be remembered as the girl who made people laugh so hard they had to grab their stomach... And the one who dared to wear pearly pink glasses.. and WORK IT!(without looking like a crazy cat lady...)
I would like to be remembered as the girl who can read a 300 page book in no less than 3 days max...
The girl who went down in history for being responsible for the "seizure dance".
The coolest dork ever..
The girl who loves to play board games... especially Othello... and wins most of the time.
The girl who made it her purpose in life to help anyone who needs it...
The girl who was David Bowie's biggest fan.. and Can do a great interpretive dance to "Ziggy Stardust"... and most David Bowie  songs.
The girl make her gay stuffed llama lipsynce to Elvis Presley's "Are you Lonsome tonight?".. and make you think he is the king.
The girl Who told people her scars came from a A. fall off the Elephant she rode in the circus B. A fight with a lion in the circus C. A death defying stunt in a movie.. where she was to my a stand-in for a famous actress.. who's name is confidential.
The girl accepts her quirkiness with pride.. with no apologies.
and Lives everyday like the last... no regrets.  :bandance;

Hmmm, either of these will fit,

Who was he and I think we're in the wrong room. Bob must be at the other end of the hallway.

Who's going to help me with my computer problems now!

Wow, he made it this long, didn't know that was his full name.

Well we knew it was gonna hapen, but did he have to fall on the cat and kill him too!

So who's getting his CD collection?

And that's what comes to my mind. Nothing special, nothing fancy

I want to be remembered as someone who devoted most of her life fighting for animal rights & my ongoing fight to outlaw leg traps & animals in laboratories.

After reaching the ripe old age of 38, I was actually pondering this the other day.  More to the fact, am I really worth all the time and effort it takes to keep me alive on Dialysis?  Am I really making a positive contribution to life and society?  Do I truly deserve to remain alive?

In my career, I'd like to be remembered as somebody who made people's lives a little more joyous through my antics every weekday afternoon on the radio.

Personally, I'd like to be remembered as a good son, uncle, brother and friend who was loyal and giving until the day he died.

I also wouldn't mind being remembered as the sarcastic, off-color, occasionally hilarious individual who made people laugh and cringe simultaneously.
