Telephone everyone I know to say goodbye.

Call my kids and hold my sweet wife in my arms.

Fap furiously, shut off and disconnect all electrical devices, then go outside at a public place with lots of people (leave the door open), like a Kindergarten, and wait.

Say goodbye to family, call in sick for work, smoke a cigarette , have a nap

Just my death or the worlds death?

I would make sure the cat’s automatic feeding and watering containers had plenty in them and I would change his litter box.

I would say a prayer.

I would neaten up the house a little bit. (But not much.)

I would take a shower and wash my hair.

And I would play a few of my favorite tunes.

@Dibley oneself not worlds death!

Grisaille's avatar

I like @FlipFlap‘s idea, sans prayer.

I would phone my boyfriend and ask him to come home from work. I would write my parents a letter, not phone them because I would end up wasting the hour. I would tell my boyfriend how much I love him and how I would want my funeral to be, then I would just want to stay in his arms until the time came. I would hope he would tell me he loved me, it would make my death worth it.

I’d write a letter.
A farewell to the people I love, a synopsis of why I’m thankful to have lived, a consolation why it’s okay and that I hope everyone won’t be sad for too long. A “thank you” to my parents for everything they did for me. And a request please not to waste any money on expensive coffins and headstones (and I know I couldn’t resist inserting some bad puns; over my dead body, I wouldn’t be caught dead supporting that sort of thing, I’d turn over in my grave, et cetera).
(I’d post it to the internet for all my e-friends, and print it for my digitally illiterate relatives and friends.)

That would probably take me 40 or 50 minutes. I’d spend whatever time I have left with my mom and dad.

I’d also try to think of something really wise and heart-warming to say as my last words. And when the time comes I’d probably say it wrong.

I would also make love to fyrius ^__^!

HGl3ee's avatar

Call my parents and sister to tell them I love them, then rush over to my SO’s to spend those last minutes in his arms. All the while smoking the BIGGEST joint my mind can fathom! :D

@ragingloli
Why do you always have to say embarrassing things like that, loli-senpai~

Ditto @AstroChuck!!!

Lord that was epic. Almost made me forget the plot holes that preceded it. :)

AstroChuck's avatar

@fireinthepriory- Part two redeemed everything for me. Part one was a real disappointment. Btw- was that the longest regeneration or what?

Whoops! My nerd is showing again. I’d better tuck it back in.

fireinthepriory's avatar

@AstroChuck I was just annoyed that RTD killed him off with radiation after it was a plot point (in the episode with the Martha and the rhinos) that radiation doesn’t harm Time Lords! Maybe I’m misremembering, and radiation does kill Time Lords, it just does it ridiculously slowly, enabling him to say goodbye to everyone he’s ever met? :)

AstroChuck's avatar

@fireinthepriory- And let’s not forget that fall from the ship. That didn’t kill him? I mean Tom Baker’s Doctor fell from just ja tower in Legopolis and that was the end of his tenure as a time lord..

Sorry, everyone. I promise not to hi-jack this thread any more.

fireinthepriory's avatar

@AstroChuck Gosh, you know I didn’t even realize it at the time. Haven’t seen Legopolis in far too long, I guess, but I just rewatched Smith and Jones!

And adding my apology to yours, Chuck. I always get carried away when conversation turns to Doctor Who, but our laud/lament shall end here. :)

JONESGH's avatar

I’d freak out.
Then I’d go over to my girlfriend’s house and tell her how much I love her.

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

I would play with the boys one last time, then leave a few minutes to die with my wife at my side. What a horrible question… lol well… at least how I read it.

Skaggfacemutt's avatar

I don’t know. I couldn’t get to Disneyland in just an hour.

Fyrius's avatar

…I already replied, but I changed my mind.

If I could, I’d want to take the opportunity to make sure the cryogenisation of my brain goes smoothly. Write my will, quickly sign up for cryonics, go to the hospital so they can get to work as soon as I’m legally dead. And then patiently wait, floating unconscious in a vat of liquid nitrogen, until people invent mind uploading technology and whatnot.

(Is it cheating if I still survive my legal death?)
