No big post today- you’ll get something wonderful and awe-inspiring (or half-assed and kind of crumbly, depending on how this headache goes) for my birthday tomorrow.
But I was thinking: I do blog posts in advance and schedule them. It allows me to spread out the writing-related posts and move things around, and leaves time for editing while giving me a deadline. Yes, I usually edit. Who knew, right?
How weird would it be if I died, and just kept posting from beyond the grave? Not really, of course, but it would look like that, wouldn’t it? And it would be extra creepy if it happened today, and then tomorrow’s semi-edited post came up talking about all of the things I’m going to do this year, when I’m all alive and breathing and stuff.
I’ve done it now, haven’t I? I am so dead.
Goodbye, cruel world, I’m going to spend the rest of the day huddled in my bed, waiting for death by irony*.
In conclusion, I’m just going to leave you with a drawing of a toaster and tell you to pay no attention to anything I say when there’s an invisible grizzly gnawing on my skull.
* I am fully aware that no matter how this word is used, someone will say that it’s wrong, but I think dying right before a blog post about the awesome aliveness of one’s future qualifies, even if dying AFTER a post about death does not. So there. I probably won’t be around to read those comments, anyway.

Tee hee! I love your sense of humor. And that’s a pretty nice toaster! By the way, if you do happen to get attacked by a grizzly, maybe try punching him in the nose. I hear that can help. I mean, if he’s likely going to kill you anyway, might as well try, right?
I schedule stuff in advance too. That would be a cool thing to do though, like if you knew you were dying of cancer, to write 100 posts in advance and schedule them for after whenever you think you were going to die. Maybe a little creepy but cool. I love that you have such a fun post despite a headache. (Sorry about the headache. Whenever I get them, they’re really obnoxious… Maybe have a Coke?)

I think they say to punch sharks in the nose, too. Do you get the feeling they just say this so we feel like we have a fighting chance, when really we’re definitely on our way to becoming carnivore poop?
(I meant to respond to this before, but you know. Headache. 😉 )

Sometimes it can work out, if you’re really, really angry. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1333379/Uncle-wrestles-shark-to-save-boys-severed-arm.html

I agree about the scheduled posts. That would be pretty cool – like ps I love you only without Gerard butler and his ridiculously awful Irish accent.
God I hated that movie.
Anyway – happy prebirthday!

Yeah, not a movie I’ve been interested in seeing. I’m not really a Hilary Swank fan (she’s in that one, right? I’m not thinking of the wrong movie?), and I think a bad accent would only make things completely unbearable! Cute concept, though.
Thanks for the prebirthday wishes- it was a good day. 🙂
