Requiescat in pace...

Today on thefridayfive: "Morbid Questions We All Think About" . Actually, I never think about this kind of thing - "Be unprepared" ought to be my motto. Do other people think about it? Really?

1. If you were to die today, what would your last words be?

"What, already?"

2. What would you want your epitaph to say?

"Beautiful, brilliant, brave." Epitaphs don't have to be true.

3. What song would you want played at your funeral?

I was about to say "I don't want a funeral", but I instantly thought of a song - "If Ever I Would Leave You", sung by John Barrowman.

4. In lieu of flowers, what should loved ones do in your honor?

Hey, I want flowers! Okay, okay, if not flowers... I'd like everyone to write a story or poem or song, or draw a picture, in my honour. Not about me. About something that's important to them.

5. What unfinished business would you wrap up?

The writing of a novel or two. But if I only have a day... I suppose I'd like to look at a sunset, or see the ocean.

"Carpe D.M." only means that Duncan complains too much. Ahem.

Have we seen the ones that translate out as "seize the cookies" and "seize the chocolate"? I'm too tired to remember the Latin for those, alas, as it was wittily done.

I'll pretend I didn't hear your pun. After all, I encouraged you by my [bad] example.

I love the way 'carpe diem' is used in Buffy, and 'carpe noctem' too. It's a great phrase, one of my favourite Latinisms.
