Now I'm wondering though, would anyone here want their internet friends to be notified if you died? I mean, kinda of weird to put a list of websites and passwords in your will, but it would also be funny.
I'd have my death announced here, but I think that would just mean I'd miss a huge party so instead I'll leave you all wondering where I went and fearing me ever coming back.

On the forum I come from, (an elective collective) we have the perk of routinely finding out from the work of smaller networks within our network that posters have died. The saddest part is knowing there are people who have passed on, and nobody's so much as noticed the cleft left by their death. No one was left bereft or captivated by the capitulating nature of humanity's humility next to the all-triumph of disease, murder, and depression. They weren't even forgotten--there was nothing to remember. They're a crack in a hole; something at the bottom in the dark that you just don't notice. It's apparent that their parents are in despair, but their affairs never cross over to us. I wonder how many graves of memory I've just walked over. I wonder if it makes sense to get sad over a face I've never seen that I'm not even sure was ever there.
