Drowning in school work!

May 20, 2010 18:10

There's three weeks left of school, and suddenly I got a buttload of work to do. Yesterday I got the offer to try and change my English grade from a 5 to a 6; which I of course took. So now I'm making a presentation about the UK General Election. I think I'm doing ok, but I'm performing it tomorrow, so I'm real nervous ( Read more... )

Tell me: Are you afraid of dying? What do you think happens afterwards? Do you think of death often?Briefly: No, nothing, nope ( ... )

Thank you for answering my questions! Death is a really tricky subject (which is why I asked you all for your opinions.) I hope you won't be offended when I say that that sounds very depressing? I really hope you're wrong, and that something will happen after we die, because I'm terrified of dying.

Sometimes I do think, shit, if this car crashes right now who will make sure my parents don't read my journal?! -- HAHA! I'm frequently thinking the opposite actually, or, if I die right now, then who will tell my LJ friends that I'm dead?? I haven't told my mum that she needs to do it, cause she will call me all morbid and shit!

I've never understood why people think it's depressing! It doesn't depress me at all. I feel very lucky to be alive at all, and very lucky to be still alive since there are lots of people in the world who don't have that much luck. I guess I also feel like--does a flame feel badly when it goes out? I won't be around to be depressed about it, any more than I was around to be depressed about not being alive.

I have rl friends on my flist too, so I usually figure one of them will deal with it!

I was just wondering, what is your header image from?

caramelsilver May 20 2010, 19:56:17 UTC

It's from a Norwegian movie called Max Manus :D

Are you afraid of dying? What do you think happens afterwards? Do you think of death often?I've finished reading Pratchett's "A hat full of stars" just yesterday and there was a quote in it that is quite fitting (vaguely translated, because I couldn't find the quote online ( ... )

Re: I hope this is helpful caramelsilver May 21 2010, 20:50:03 UTC

That's a beautiful quote! And it actually helped me write a page of the essay today, so THANK YOU!

I'm not afraid of saying that I'm shit scared of dying. I do not want to do it, I'm terrified that nothing will happen. I'm afraid of nothingness.

And thank you! =)=)

The idea of death doesn't frighten me. I believe there is a life after, there is something that comes after.

But. I guess I'm afraid of it coming TOO SOON, you know? When I see stuff on the news about accidents, calamities...well, it freaks me out. I want to live, really live in this crazyterriblebeautiful world first. And I don't even want to think of those who'll be left behind.

Aside from that, I think along the lines that JM Barrie did: it would be 'an awfully big adventure'.

Kind of fanciful, I know. But that's how I like to think it.

I'm shit scared of dying. I do believe in an afterlife... or I used to, and I'm sure that when I get through this teenage/OMG I HAVE TO BE AN ADULT SOON crisis I'll go back to believing that. But right now my logic brain is screaming that there is nothing after and why aren't you living your life to the fullest, fool!?!?!!?

Yeah, so scared of dying, scared of not living my life right.

I really like that quote. It's so very hopeful.

oh, on the fic... redsilverchains May 21 2010, 12:07:12 UTC

CHRIS. I loved him so much!

They don't know him. They don't know he's going to ever exist.
Aw, Chris. I remember being so sad when he was dying, and then baby!Chris was born and the girls said they didn't lose him after all...

But then again, the Chris-as-we-knew-him was gone forever. I remember being torn up about that!

Re: oh, on the fic... caramelsilver May 21 2010, 20:54:19 UTC

CHRIS IS MY FAVORITEST HALLIWELL EVER! I LUUURVE HIM AND HIS FAMILY ANGST! Which is why the only Charmed fics I'm able to write is all about him and is *~issues~*.

Thank you for reading and telling me you did=)=)
