In the end, it was all...backness.

Typo ftw! Now I have an image in my head of someone getting smothered by someone else's back fat.

I would prefer a death in glorious combat. Not actual combat, because I'm a pacifist of a sort, but a similar contest. Trying to bring about change in the world, for example. I could go as a martyr.

If, by the time I'm about to die, Cryonics have been disproved, Cyborgs do not exist and it's yet impossible to put all your memories into an electronic container until you find a new body, I'd like to die during my sleep. However, in the case that I'm diagnosed with something incurable and I can't get over it, I'll find an awesome way to die like driving off a cliff in flames onto a Christian manifestation and exploding when I touch the ground into fireworks.

Surrounded by books, knowing that I had done something good for the world.  This excludes dying in my sleep.  I want to be able to consciously think "It's okay.  I did my part."

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

That's how I want to live.

It already is how I'm living (I have five bookshelves and more books that won't fit piled on the floor, in my loft, and in my armchair--and those bookcases are double-stacked, too), but if I kick it somewhere that doesn't happen to be a library, cathedral, or beautiful natural landscape, it'll be too bad.

Or a classroom.  I'd be okay with that, too, provided that I didn't traumatize my students for life.

I would just stand there. Shocked. And traumatized.

Ideally? To the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.

Lesserly, doing something heroic or fighting in said last war, or a war with well-defined good and evil.

Lesserlestally, fighting.

Die?  Pffft.  I'm going to ascend to a higher plane of existence.

There's a story about that, The Most Dangerous Game, I think.
Right you are, Rainsford.

I think it would be hilarious if I died while skydiving. If I'm dead, I wouldn't mind too much anyway, so at least my body would get some extra motion before being interred. Gotta loosen up them joints.

As long as it's painless, I'd be happy.

If I was fighting for Papa Nurgle for the glory of the Dark Gods, it would be AWESOME.
