Due to unknown, hypothetical and irreversible circumstances, you have exactly 48 hours until you die starting at 6am tommorow morning. What do you do with the remainder of your life? (I feel very sorry for you if you have video games anywhere in that time.)

And if you have anger or rage that would be exposed, please justify other than whims. Khell, why would you blow up the Vatican? I mean what the crap!?

(Khell, PurpleRain, FireDaemon, stop debating jaywalking. Although this comment will probably just encourage it. *sigh*)

You know, I haven't really given this much thought so here's some spur of the moment stuff.
Call "the one that got away" and arrange to meet once more.
Organise a big shindig with all my friends. Get thoroughly smashed.
OR
Leave everyone behind and take a plane to one of the many places I'd like to go in my life. Travel around and talk to everyone, have shenanigans. Die in a place that don't know my name.

I would grab my girlfriend and blow so much money that the government would would be jealous. I would go some place really nice, maybe rent out an entire floor of a hotel in Hawaii, or some place romantic like that where we could be alone for the remainder of my life... I would call my daughter and tell her I loved her... Then tell my girlfriend something super romantic as my last words...

If I was to die, and knew that I had exactly 48 hours, no exception, i would find the people who made my life living hell when I was younger, and cripple/possibly kill them. I'm twisted, I know, but that's what I would do...

HEY! Don't ask if you don't want to know!

Edit:

HalfShadow:
There's lots of people I've always thought would be better off dead, and I have nothing to lose.

You fill in the blanks.

Yay! I'm not the only one.

Killing spree. Pure and simple. I'm going to die. So, I shall be paradropped in ethiopia and begin my massacre with an M-4.
In the immortal words of Andross, "Those tin cans are no match for me"- I mean, "If I go down I'm taking you with me!"

Wow lot's of killers.

I prolly would not do anything different. No one really loves me, so I'll leave none behind.

I would get in my car and drive to a secluded place (probably a field) with my MP3 player. I would listen to music and await my death in silence, writing memoirs.

I will just go and walk around town, maybe go to the botanic gardens and feed some ducks and just chill out. I'm not that afraid of dying. I think I might have to write out a will and get my burial plans sorted out if I know I will die soon.

I might steal something big, like a TV. That would be fun.

Masterbate.

Yeah, just masterbate.

You know what Purps... If I didn't have a girlfriend, that would be my... No, I would rather get a hooker... Imagine the news story when the cops find a hooker with a dead body in her hotel room...

PurpleRain:
Masterbate.

Yeah, just masterbate.

No change there then.

x434343:

Aww. I love you, platonically of course.

For me, probably like Saskwach said call up the one that got away and apologize (it was my fault she got away, I'm terrible at the whole showing feeling thing).
Next, give all my stuff to friends and people I know who need/want it.
Then follow PurpleRain's lead and masturbate, furiously and for the duration. Well, maybe not the durations.

I would go to africa and start handing out food, I would buy video games for sick children in the hospital, then give the rest of my money to the poor. I would like to know I died a good person, not a monster.

*arches a brow at Mobius' last post but simply laughs*

My last 48 hours would be spent with my boyfriend. I'd probably lock myself, with him, away somewhere that i wouldn't have to worry about getting interrupted. But before that i'd probably find some bank, steal the money i wanted out of it (What are they gonna do? Throw me in jail? By the time they find me, i'll be dead) Blow the money on stuff for my son, get a fancy meal, and than just spend the rest of my time with my Boyfriend. I wouldn't have time for anything else. At least i'd die with a smile on my face. What a better way to go? Happy and in the arms of your Significant other? Or so pissed at the world your last thought is...why did I hold back?

I'd give all my stuff away, and all my money. I don't have a lot, but I have enough to keep me occupied for 48 hours.

i would like to go to a secluded part of a beach with my music, i would like to just watch the waves and think. I would then like to call up someone and tell them how much i love them and that when i die Ill still be there for them. i would like to be buried at the scenic point at the beach with a small funeral.

but i dont wanna die unloved :(

I'd lock my apartment, get in my car and start driving west. I'd stop at every stupid little roadside amusement and buy way too much junk food to munch on the way, singing along to every song on my mp3 player. I'd break out the cell phone and call everyone on the list, even the entries which I don't really remember who they are. I wouldn't tell 'em about the death thing, just have a nice chat as I drive. Once I reached Colorado, I'd pull off at a post office and snail-mail back the keys to my place with a letter of explanation to my family, together with my "will" of sorts, hand-written on a sheet of looseleaf. Then, I'd drive to the top of Mt. Evans with a good book and a flashlight and freeze to death an hour or so before the deadline. I play to no one's timetable, bub.

I would totally do things I would never be able to do like skydive, marry my girlfriend and the last night before I die I spend after-supper time to choose a coffin.

I always planned that if my life had a definite, predictable "end date", I would track down these two girls I have/had a major crush on and let them know how I feel about them, then do my best to try commandeer a bomber (Warthog or Lancer preferred) and take out the Vatican.

Definitely make love with my girlfriend for a mad long time. Throw a huge party with all my friends, and then pass the last few hours lying on an empty beach with my gf listening to the waves and feeling the sun.
But those are just the first things to come to mind. I'd prob forget my dreams of driving ferraris and skydiving, etc. and i wouldnt waste time travelling to some exotic place, since i already live in paradise (i know you're jealous)

Three-some? Sounds fun Khell...

I'd... hell, I'd most likely just walk around, trying to experience all I'm about to lose...

'You have [certain amount of time] left to live, what do you do in [that amount of time]? Threads' are so damn boring and uninteresting, most people just say "Get laid" because, apparently it's better when you are about to die, and then they say "go on a crime/killing spree" or something stupid like that - but thanks to Escapist having a community with people who think creatively then hopefully that won't be so common, so far so good.

What I don't understand, is why wait till you are about to die? If you want to do something, do it, if it's been on an "I've always wanted to -" list, then do it, if you can't do it now, then how is dying going to change that if it spontaneously just happens? If I had a 48 hour Timer come out and say "you will die when this hits zero" then there's not much I can do other than say goodbye to the world.

Another idea: somehow locate a person in desperate need of some form of extreme help (don't ask me how I'd do this, I'd figure it out or die trying). Give them that crazy level of commitment to hopefully get their life back on track. Stay with this stranger-friend for the rest of your hours.

Man after my own heart.

So murder with no consequences is juvenile and uncreative?

How about if the bodies are laid out to spell out my last will and testamanet? Or if you took the first letter of each of my victim's names it would spell out the classic "to be, or not to be" speech.
Just because you have no intent to do something needlessly outrageous given the chance to doesn't mean it's a complete boring waste.

I hope it hasn't been said before, but I'd go with a bunch of beer and a lot of females of questionable nature. Or maybe skydiving without a parachute...

I'd contact everyone I know and organize the largest dance party I can downtown. I would then get rid of all the embarrassing stuff in my room and on my hard drive and write my last will and testament. Then I'd get my video camera and record pretty much everything. I would empty my bank account and buy a whole bunch of delicious food, then go down to the poor part of town, and have a spontaneous banquet, making sure to talk to strangers. When it's time for the dance I will rock out and let everyone know how wonderful they are while listening to my favorite music. Then I'd sleepover at my best friend's house watching movies and drinking chocolate milk. The second day I would go around the city with whoever could come along and put graffiti on everything, making sure the world got a piece of my mind. I'd probably kiss anyone I got the inclination to and jaywalk. In the middle of the night I'd go down to a little dock I know and meditate, then as the sun is rising I'd strip and swim as far as I can to the ocean.

That seems thought out, but really I was thinking and writing at the same time.

Larenxis:
...and jaywalk.

I am shocked and appauled! You will spend your last hours in shame!

I'd tell the people closest to me, get my affairs in order, and then find a way to be the scheduled centre of attention at a major public event at the end of the 48 hours.

"I'd like to thank each and every one of you for coming together with us on the most historic and prestigious day. Now, check this out!"

Write a journal/autobiography of sorts, chronicling my life and telling my innermost thoughts. Then I'd spend the last 10 seconds or so loading myself with drugs, setting myself on fire, and jumping off the highest mountain I could find, crashing to the Earth in an Epicurean (not in the true sense of the word, but how we've come to use it nowadays) blaze of glory.

Psh, all the cool kids are doing it.

Purplerain will be to busy to pilot the bomber though........i mean wont he, unless hes really quick

amen to that... but which song

if i was going to go on a killing spree it would have to be 'Down with the Sickness' by disturbed
if i was going to die peacefully then 'the Lark Ascending', Kennedy version thank you very much

or maybe i would commandeer a space shuttle, launch myself into space and jump out the airlock...
