This thread freaks me out. I’ve always had this feeling, almost like a premonition, that I’ve only shared with a few people very close to me. Here I let my Dopers in on it (and I’m sure everybody’s worlds will be shaken to their cores - ah blow me, it still freaks me out) – I’ve always felt that I’ll die in a violent car accident. It doesn’t make me afraid to be in a car or to drive – just the opposite. I get this very peacful, serene feeling of acceptance with the world whenever I’m in a car. Anybody want to go for a drive with me? [sub]Jeez Louise, how friggin’ morbid is this post?[/sub] ---

Given my family track record, I’ll probably be older than Lazarus and completely senile. I have **so** much to look forward to. :rolleyes: ---

Let’s not spoil that surprise ending for anyone, **eunoia**! I just finished reading it last month. I literally wept in my office. Fabulous stuff. I will die a death … _of some kind_. (ok, about 3 people will get this) So, **bup** , did you leave a will? ---

I’ll probably fall off a horse in the middle of doing one of my stupid stunts and break my neck. And, just to appease my mother, there will be no one around and I will die alone and without being able to recieve proper medical attention. Then my horse will trample me just to make sure I’m gone. ---

Let’s see - it will be an embarassing death, since I’m wildly popular for humiliating myself. Let’s just say it’ll be a freak accident where someone thinks I’m trying to be funny. Then they take my pulse and realize I’m dead. It’ll be before I get cancer too, so I guess I don’t have to stop smoking. ---

I’m with kittie, I think I’ll take the immortal road. But if I do die it will be becuase I grew to powerful in using the natural energy of the universe which corrupted me. My long lost son will have to battle me. I’ll chop off his hand he’ll chop off mine and in the end we’ll let bygones be bygones as he destroys the empire I worked so hard to create. DaLovin’Dj ---
