Um... Just for future reference, what does grok mean? 

Oooohhh, but I don't wanna read all of that, it looks like a damn good book and I don't want to know what happens before I've even read it! lol.

I haven't made any arangements really.

GAHHH!!!!

I've decided that I want to be buried in period costume-1910s, "Titanic" era.  Maybe one of the dresses FROM the movie, Titanic.  (Cheesy, silly movie, but GORGEOUS costumes).  And "The Rainbow Connection" must be sung).


BTW, was anyone aware that over time, cannibalism can lead to a fatal illness called kuru?  A tribe in Papua New Guinea used to practice ritual cannibalism at the funerals of their loved ones, and after time, started to develop horrible symptoms of trembling, joint pain, and headaches.  Eventually, the practice was outlawed because of this.

And speaking of cannibalism, if I may, there's a book I have called "A History of Cannibalism".  I spotted it at Half-Price Books last year, and I just HAD to get it-how can you NOT buy a book like that? 


I have to ask-I'm Catholic (well, lapsed, at least), and we never had any fire-and-brimstone fundy-style lectures.  I thought that was more your born again preachers?

Here is my funeral plan, as I would like it:

Any organs of mine that are useable must be taken. I then wish to be embalmed; this is not a choice. I have to be embalmed. Before I am put in the cheapest coffin available, I would like to be dressed in my denim 3 quater lengths and red tye-dye top with my short-sleeved white shirt over the top. Everyone who comes to see me has to sign the shirt, haha.

I want the hearse to be the same style as my stepdad's was, only I want the Harley one... It's cooler, lol. I also want the same type of escort as he had, as in, around 200 bikers following on their bikes.

My funeral service itself should be entirely humanist. I want no hymns at all; I've never understood why people are made to sing songs at funerals, it's often the last thing anyone feels like doing. My eulogy should be filled with the most embarassing stories everyone can remember, and anyone who wants to say a word, please do!! lol.

I want the following songs too:

Say it Ain't so, by Weezer

Storm in a teacup, by RHCP

Boss of me, by They Might Be Giants

And, as I go out, Live and Let Die, the Guns N Roses version - just for added drama you see

The only flowers I want is one big wreath saying 'dude'. The rest of the money goes to charity, haha. Then everyone has to go to a pub - any pub! And have a party. My father, however, should not be allowed to this.

I don't care if I'm burned or buried, so long as I'm embalmed. If there isn't room with my stepdad, I wanna go in the same churchyard as him, it's beautiful down there. No tacky flowers on my grave ever please, plant me a rose, and keep the damn thing alive.

All my stuff is to be sorted by my mum, she can have what she wants, my friends and charity have the rest.

Is that it? lol.
