Last day on earth
« on: 20 Dec 2012, 00:32 »

So, fair ladies and gentle men, how do you spend this supposed final day of mankind?

And more rhetorically, how WOULD you spend your actual last day on earth if you were completely certain it would end?

Oh, and the steaks frozen in the basement.  Don't want to let those go to waste...

I'm going home by train, which takes hours. I have absolutely no doubt that I will wake up tomorrow morning and the world will be continuing.

Maybe. But I'm not really certain there's anyone close enough that I know the current location of that I'd kill, y'know?

My usual policy with people I hate a lot is 'Ignore they exist as much as possible', so I've mostly lost track of anyone I'd be tempted to I think.

Lots and lots of sex. And cuddling with my ferrets and kitties and boyfriend and ex-boyfriend because in this scenario I am less concerned about cheating. Oh and cuddling with my former Mistress. Basically a big ol' cuddle puddle.

Tomorrow-
Go to work, exchange gifts with coworkers, futz around, go home, commence baking and booze marathon in kitchen, cuddle Nick and Fuzz, watch tv, sleep.

End of the World-
Blow the money in our wedding fund on ridiculously frivolous things for myself and those I love, visit my parents, come home, have sex, get stoned, eat a huge and expensive meal, take shrooms, enjoy hallucinations, die.

Might as well go out with a bang, amiright?

Sex and drugs seem popular, unsurprisingly.

I would probably take the opportunity to punch Jimmie Åkesson, the leader of the Swedish right-wing nationalist party, because he is a racist scum pig. The question is if that would make me feel better since we'd both be dead. And I'd probably have to stand in line for hours so... eh.

Getting completely stoned and listen to the whole beatles catalogue (or at least rubber soul onward) would probably be my choice. I'm pretty passive like that. It would also involve chocolate, not quite sure in what way.

Anyway, seems like I'm not dead yet, 40 minutes to go over here.

Sex. Lots of it. I'd finish off the shrooms I have waiting for me, smoke the rest of what I've got, and just spend my last day in an hallucinatory, orgasmic haze.

Actually I might just do that anyways.

Shrooms and weed sound like a fantastic way to spend an apocalypse, but you're gonna trip haaaaard on DMT when you actually die anyway. Because the end of the world means we all die.

The number of children born around 9 months after Christmas is always higher than average anyway, so if the end of the world thing makes it even higher they're going to need extra staff on delivery suites!

Well, it's already the 22nd in Sydney, and I'm still here.

If I really did think the end of the world was imminent, I think I'd just go and meditate on the cliffs at North Head until the curtain of fire swept in across the Pacific. Of course it is coming, but too far off to be relevant, at least to me.

It's not a matter of PC - such gratuitous rudeness is simply uncalled for.

The Mayans designed a calendar for their own use, and explicitly extended it for a considerable period.  Had there been a need, they could have designed a way to extend it further as easily as anyone else; in fact just repeating it works as well as anything else.  Playing around with apocalypse predictions is a bit of harmless fun, but bad-mouthing the designers of a calendar which happens not to have an indefinite length (because they didn't need it) does nothing but diminish you.

Anyway, as expected, the world has failed to end as the result of an arbitrary pattern of numbers being reached, so there's really nothing more to talk about here.
