So, last night I went to see this film Stranger Than Fiction. It is a really good film, I would recommend everyone watches it, not least because the unconventionally sexy Maggie Gyllenhaal is in it. The film is about this guy who starts hearing a woman’s voice narrating his very ordinary life. Anyway, the narrator says “little did he know of his imminent death” (or something to that effect). So with the knowledge of his impeding death he begins asking the question…
If you knew you were going to die… what would you do?
Obviously in the film he begins living his life in the way he always wanted to (sorry for ruining it for you all). So in a blatant act of plagiarism I ask you the exact same question.
After seeing the film I began asking myself the same question. I realised that there is nothing particularly interesting that I would like to do (like going to kiddies space camp). I would just want to spend as much time as possible with the people I love most.
Is there anything I have overlooked that I really should want to do? What would you do? I suggest we all start doing this in a bizzare cult like Megaphone pact… who’s in?
Let me know in my beautiful typing square found below.
p.s. with the disgraceful canceling of quiz maina by ITV… what the hell am I supposed to watch on TV? Suggestions below, thank you.

If it was for a surreal world id have to go and do all the things your just not meant to, things like doing a runner from a restaurant, having a high speed car chase.
Although it would be nice to know when i was dying as i don’t really fancy prison much!

I’d just make sure that my family knew how I felt about them and I’d plan the most rockin’ funeral!
