A not-quite-tag worth doing.

Found this on Jon's blog:
The world ends tomorrow. What will you do today?

Well, firstly, do I know that the world ends tomorrow? I suppose I do, or there isn't a point to this.

I'm sure I'd spend most of the day panicking. Afterwards, though, I'd talk the people who matter the most, say some long overdue "I love you"s, and say my goodbyes. Then I'd watch the sun set for the last time while listening to some good music, because if there's anything Titanic taught us, it's that the only way to face impending doom is to do it listening to good music. After that's done, I'd go inside to hide from the widespread pillaging and looting that has undoubtedly broken out in the streets. Maybe I'd finish some of the books I've always wanted to read. Maybe something more. Then the world will end, and I'll get to see what comes next.

Somehow, I don't think there's any way to even near accurately say what I'd do when such a day were to come, but what I can say with some fair certainty is that we will not be given such a polite warning.

Also, you should read Jon's answer; I think I like it better.
