Hi I thought that this would be a good question....

I know that if I had 24 hrs to live i would do every thing
that I could cram in to 24 hrs that I have always wanted to
do. Like drive, bungee jump, dive out of a plane (with a parachute)
well let me know what you think!

I think I'd want to spend it with the people I love, rather than rush about trying to cram in every experience I have missed. I'd sit on a couch listening to good music, and talk with my friends about the good times we've had, and I'd be giving some of my stuff away.

Makes me think of that guy in the sketch by Fry and Laurie . . .

Interesting question! To be honest, I'm not sure what I would do. I think in the first few hours, I would want to spend time with close friends and family and do something totally fun - go for a joy drive then have some drinks and make ourselves laugh. Then, in the next few hours, I would tell those who I love, that 'I love you' and tell them the special things that I love about them... Then, in the next few hours, I would want to be with my man and spend those precious hours together - good food, drinks, music and being intimate...

Actually this question reminds me something from one of the funny comedies - I can't remember but someone did everything that he wanted to do and then at the 24th hour, he still lived!

I'm going to google the sketch by Fry and Laurie as I don't know what exactly it is...

That sketch by Fry and Laurie was in a nursing home, and Laurie was playing one of the nurses administering to a bedridden old man, who complained about the things that he had never done in his life . . . rather extreme things, things that people don't normally do anyway . . . it was very funny.

Thanks you guys for replying!
I'm hoping to get more people to come on this fourm...

Like in that last holiday movie with Queen Latifah! Except she had a month or something. Whatever.

Hmm.... I think I might donate all my savings to some sort of charity, because if i went out and got all the stuff I wanted, like material items, I would only have a day to use them. It would be nice to know that when you died you would have done something good in the world.

I'd want to have a giant party with anybody who I have even ever remotley been friends with and people who I always wanted to be friends with but never really got to know, and I'd try to get to know them as well as I could in 24 hours. Also I'd ask the guy I like on a date, and if he said no, I could just go over to my friends and laugh about it, because it would really suck to be sad in the last day of your life.

After my giant party, I'd spend the rest of the day with my family, just my close family and maybe some close family friends. Oh, I hope this never really happens to me. I really don't think I could get all the stuff I want to do before I die into 24 hours.

This is a good idea for a topic, Dean_Thomas!

I would spend the day at first with loved ones, then I would read, play gamecube and eat LOTS of chocolate and popcorn. I would donate all of my money to charity.

I would definitely spend my last 24 hours with everyone I love. I'd invite lots of people over to my place, just so I could speak to them one last time. And of course I would love to have some private time with my own family. I'd make sure the half of my saving money would be donated a charity, and the rest would be for my dad and his research project. I wouldn't do anything big like bungeejumping or a zeppelin flight.

On a Mod note, Dean_Thomas elaborate more in your future posts okay? One liners/short posts aren't permitted on the forums.

I'd be off to DC in that very moment. Though this takes aproximately 10 hours and leaves me with 14 to go, that's where I would like to be most. And as it takes so long to get there it would be the only thing I would do

if i had 24 hours to live, i would tell everyone i had ever known how much i love them or hate them. like my friends, i'd tell them how much i'd love and care for them. and i'd go to wherever fall out boy is at at the moment and meet them and ask them to spend my last day with me and my friends. it would be sad if i only had 24 hours to live. so very sad. but oh well i won't die until i say i do so haha!

i would do the same Fall_Out_Girl, i would sadlly hunt down Fall Out Boy also, and i would tell everyone what i really feel about them. i would also just kill myself at my last hour, pills would be my choice..... im not suicidall, but like i wouldn't want to die a horibal death....

Suicide! wow

I never said it would be a painfull death
It would be like dying instantly, No feeling Just
so other people won't think it would be a
painfull death.

I'd get up really early and write my will, then I'd try to spend it with my closest friends and family, I wouldn't tell them I was dying so we could all have a normal day. I'd tell them how much I love them and hand out advice. I'd also eat the stuff I like the most like my mom's pork chops and chocolates!

Near the end I'd put my favourite DVD, lay down on my parent's bed sorrounded by my dogs until I "fell asleep"

Easy.

Book a show for my band (and AFI) at Vatican City, and just bring as many hardcore friends I have and roam the streets.

-- Thomas

Hm thats a intresting question.
I think i problably read all Harry Potter books all the time or i maby goes fishing....
Or i maby drive a car for the rest of the remaining day....Yes thats my answer i´ll drive that day!!!

I don't know. Maybe spend some time with my loved ones. Have fun with my friends, things like that. And I'd probably tell that one person how I feel about him

I would write letters to everyone I loved and cared about them and opened up everything about my feeling and thoughts that I never told them. Then post them so they would have them when I am gone. Set my affairs in order. I would take all the money out my bank account and spread it equally to all my chosen charities. I would say goodbye to all my family and to tell them not to worry because we all die sooner or later, and that I will be in a good place, waiting for them. I would then hug and kiss them all for the very last time. Eat one last meal for the last time. Watch my favourite film for the last time. Pray for God for him to please let my family let me go in peace and for him to look after me. I would then do all the petty things like straighten my hair for the last time and lie in my bed for the last time and text all my friends for the last time, and think of all the happiness in my life. Then I would kiss all my family goodbye and I would want to die happily and warm in my bed with them all surrounded by me.

I would probably eat lots of fattening foods, since it's not really gonna matter if you're gonna die soon. Oooh, maybe a big mac...yumm... and lots of funell cake. Yum.

Besides that I would say good bye to my friends and family. Write a lot of stuff down. I would tell them how I want my funeral to be happy. No black. Lots of pretty flowers.Maybe they can spread my ashes in the country I've always wanted to go to, New Zealand. Mybe before that put them in a bottle of sprite and bring them to a Fall Out Boy concert.

That's how I want to die.

Hmmm... What would I do if I only had 24 hours to live.

I would probably cause a lot of mischeif. I would buy a credit card and charge lots of things on them, for I would never have to pay it back. I would also draw on someone's face with magic marker when they are fast asleep.

I also would want to spend a lot of time with all of my family and friends. Come to think of it... I doubt I would do anything but cry the whole day if I knew it was the last day I had to live. Oh now I am all depressed. lol

-HS

This is a hard question! I'd probably spend the entire day with my friends just having fun, then at night I'd go home and say a long goodbye to everyone that I loved, and I do like the idea of writing letters to people that way they have something to remember me by. I'd have to figure out who gets what, not that I have too much to give, but I have some things. Once I had said my goodbyes I'd lay down and fall asleep knowing that everything was going to be all right and when I woke up again I'd be starting the second chapter in my life. It'd be a nice peaceful death, though I would be really sad, I mean, I'm only 16.

*Go to the Gryffindor house thread and post a motto, you only have 4 days left*

I would call all of my friends and invite them home. I would tell them my complaints and things you can't normally say. After that, i would take them and my family out. I would eat all the food i love, no matter how fattening this would be. I would sing and dance in the middle of a crowded street, i would smash my ex-best friend's house, i would tell the guy i like that i like him... All the crazy stuff i can't do if i want to be free and not locked up in a hospital for crazy people...!

This is tough.

I would probably spend time with my family and friends.Then I would tell my secret crush of about seven years,that I love him.I would watch and read some Harry Potter.I would give some of my Harry Potter merchandise to my Best Friend.She is also very obsessed.And I would eat the most delicious Cheese Burger.

Hey Dean,Nice topic.Congrats.

If I only had 24 hours to live I would sit myself down and write up letters to everybody that was close to me and tell them things I never told them before. Things I kept from them. I'd apologize for anything I ever did wrong to them, and simply confess, I think. I dont really tell people things, so I'd finally be able to tell them knowing I only had a day to live. I'm such a coward. But I think thats what I would do. And probably look at old photo albums, just because I'm sentimental....not really
I'd probably burn something as well. I dont know what, rather random, but I've never set anything on fire, & I would want to do that before I died. I dont know...

I think first I go to the countryside have a small party inviting my family and about 3 of my friends. Write letters to my "friends" who have been horrible to me telling them what they have done wrong but that I forgive them. Then go to london try and find Dan Radcliffe and Alan Rickman. Give them both a and a kiss. Then go back home and surround myself in all the posessions that I love and my family and true friends which isnt manyHA!

That would have to be a long 24 hours!

24 hours...

write loads... pick a pen and write a load of poems to people i love...
go out with my mates
spend time with the family
spend some time with the Hp cast... that probably wouldn't be possible
write a will
say thank you to the people who have helped me
eat loads of chocolate!!

Oh wow! Hmm, I suppose I would write a will and letters to all the people I love. Then eat all the fatty food I could because I wouldn't have to deal with the consequences! Probably spend time with my friends too. Well actually it depends on the situation... Am I like in a hospital and the doctors told me in a day I'm done. Or is it like someone would kill me in a day and I knew about it? Because I'm pretty sure that would effect what I would do. Hmm now I've got thinking to do!

at first i would be like "uh oh! i'm gonna die!" and i would probably freak out at first. then i would hunt down as many of my family and friends and spend the day with them, i don't care really where we would be. Maybe somewhere quiet, maybe somewhere exciteing like a themepark. i wouldn't really mind. i would then probably give away my stuff to who i wanted it to go to.

ahhh......wow. I guess, first of all, i'd write a will. Then i'd hook up with my family & friends and go out somewhere, real nice. I'd probably have a royal meal. play few good games of basketball. And then i guess i would go to my 'secret spot' and hang out by myself and then......yea, hopefully die under the moon light (lol, soz, i know that sounds soooo corny)

ok i'd write letters to loads of people even some to people who i don't like making them feel bad for treating me like poop lol i'd make them feel guilty by telling them i forgive them, then i'd spend some time with my family and friends, doing things i love to do, i'd go play some hockey because i haven't been able to do that in a while because of my blasted ankle but hey i'd be dead in 24 hours so might as well end it well!

I would probably spend the first few hours crying my heart out because I don't want to die! Then I would call every one of my old friends that I'm not friends with anymore and apologise for not being their friend and then tell them how much I appreciated them. Then I'd call all my closest friends and spend a few hours with them. Then I'd write the most heartwrenching goodbye letter ever written I would read m favourite book (probably Harry Potter) and give everyone a big hug and kiss.

Wow! Great question. If I had 24 hours to live, what would I do? I think I would find the biggest roller coaster in the world and go ride it! I have a strange obsession with roller coasters, so one of my life goals is to ride the biggest one, so I'd have to complete that. Other than that, I would probably just spend time with my friends and family, take lots of pictures for them. And then go to sleep with like 30 min. left, so that I could die in my sleep.

Good question. I think we'd all do something along the same lines wouldn't we? I'd want to spend it with friends and people I care about. Just have some fun. I'd probably have a talk with a few of the more important people, tell them how I really feel or just how much I appreciated them! Anything to confess or tell, I'd just do it. Who holds a grudge with a dying person right? Lol. I'd make my will, write letters to people, and make sure my funeral goes just as I want it! Mostly I'd freak though, one day left and no time to appreciate anything. Crazy.

Oh and I'd track down JK Rowling and tell her I'll be needing that book over a hundred days early...

Ok, well, I already posted here, but I thought of something else...so I'm back! Umm...I would finally get up the courage to tell the guy I like that I like him. I would want him to know before I died how I really felt about him.

As much as I'd love to go to Liverpool, I don't think I'd have enough time to do that AND see my friends and family. So sorry, Liverpool. I would definately go to New York though. I've always wanted to visit the "Imagine" Mosaic in memory of John Lennon and I'd also love to see a show on broadway. For the rest of the time, I'd probably hang out with friends and family.

Good thread.

If i had 24 hours to live i would live life to the fullest.

Go and talk to friends, family all different relatives.

I would go and seek out the cast of Harry Potter, Doctor who and Torchwood.

And do all thosse important things that i have wanted to do.

aMost important would defiently to be staying with my family.

I would have a good old cry as well.

Oh you all have come up with such great ideas for how to spend your last day. Miss Minerva Mcgonagall I am a little like you, I would panic about only having 24 hours and so much to do. I am such a control freak that I would have to organise my day so that i didn't waste it. And that would be such a shame. What I should do is just let the day happen. All the right people will be with me so I won't need to organise anything.


So apart from seeing all my friends and family I would eat everything i wanted to. Chocolates and cakes and lollies and pizzas and cheesecakes. I would end up fat but who cares, I am dying. And like seriouslysirus, I would cry when the time is almost up. I wouldnt want to go. I would be missing a great party.

I have things i wish to do such as meet celebrities, etc. but there are only a few things i would like to do on my last day of living:

I would write a novel - no matter how badly edited - and ask my sister to get it published for me (because i would trust her with my life)

I would let everybody i love know how much they have meant to me. How they have inspired me, kept me going and influenced my life

I would catch a flight to europe and go to as many european countries as i can. See Mona Lisa, climb eiffel tower, ski down the mountains of switzerland, party in the clubs of berlin and see the fine fashion of milan....

And the last thing i would do is go up to my special someone and finally tell him exactly how i feel about him - how much i love him, how much i long to see him everyday and how hard it has been to keep from him

Gosh, it would have to be a pretty long 24 hours don't you think?!

Well lp-supastar you must have a great sister that you would trust her with your life. Lucky her.

While I was reading what you were saying about telling your' special someone' how you felt about them, I was wondering why you would have to wait until you were dying to tell him that you love him. Why wait? I have promised myself that i will never leave my friends and family wondering if i loved them. When I finally die I will know that they know just what they mean to me. Pretend you are dying lp_supastar and tell him now.

mrs hagrid

Oh gosh, i would never have the guts to do that...he's one of my friends so ii would only probably be able to do it if i knew it would be my last chance! I just get really nervous about things...i ask the what-ifs and stuff...i kinda hate that its pretty annoying

that's really hard to think about. first i would try to do my life ambitions that i can do in a few hours. but then get to spend time with my friends and tell them i love them ad how special they are and talk of the good times we had. and love is a never ending thing, it never dies. and i would then spend the rest of my time with my family, telling them i love them thank you for my life and everything wonderful. and love ever dies thing. and the the last five minutes i would confess these really deep feelings for the guy i like and stuff that are gushy and i'd hug him and he'd feel bad and i'd die in his arms.... wow. that sounds weird and freaky but almsot nice? haha, i'm weird.

Well if someone told me i had 24 hours to live, i would probably spend the first 2 freaking out. After that i would spend it with my friends and family. I would tell them all how much i love them. Then i would probably tell anyone i hated how much i hated them, and i would be like " i hate you! and i can tell you cuz im dying in less then 24 hours!" I would try to fit in all the things ive always wanted to do, like go bungee jumping, and maybe tell that certain someone how i feel.

I think that at first I would freak out but then I would tell myself freaking out won't make you live longer. I've always wanted to go skydiving so i would definitly do that and then after go to my favorite restaurant and eat all my favorite things then i would just be with my family and talk about when i was younger and funny moments then i would hug them alll and go to sleep so i would die in my sleep
just like someone else wrote

I would try to reread the 5th harry potter book and just go about a regular day.

If I had one day to live or 24 hours..I would hit the people I hate. Kiss someone. Which I have never done. Sing out loud and hope that someone likes my signing. I would announce that Im a huge harry potter fan and try to finih my fan fic. Oh and say goodbye to friends and family!

hmpph i would prolly write the rest of my fan fic read all the hp books embarass my self by singing outloud in front of millions of people at random haha spend time with my family and sort out a will very important(HP books go to all my VTM friends haha)

Right now if I had 24 hours to live I'd probably tell my crush I like him, they go ride some roller coasters for that last adrenaline rush. That would be perfect for me!

This is sad to think about...

I really don't think I would try to fit a whole bunch of crazy things into one 24 hour period. I would just come to terms with the fact that I probably wouldn't experience certain things. Not a big deal...

Although, I would write to JKR and ask her if she could please send me the deathly hallows right away


But besides that, I would just spend time with the people who I care about, and who I know truly care about me. And I wouldn't make it extravagant... I'd probably go to a nice restaurant or do something simple and fun for the day, and then spend the rest of my time talking and reminiscing with everyone. And then when the time was about up, I would cry and give everyone I love a hug and kiss... and tell them how much they mean to me...

If I had 24 hours to live i'd get all my friends and family together and have a huge singstar party! Although i might need a bigger place, Got to have all my friends from hockey, school and every else!
LLP

So sad… There’re just so many things I would do. But the most important thing; I would talk to a very good friend who I’m not on speaking terms with at this moment. I would also go visit my grandmother and – father’s grave and tell them that I would soon join them.
Then I would do something I would never do if it was just a regular day. First hit a person I really, really, really, really HATE. Second: bungee jumping. Third I would go to an extremely fancy restaurant and just act like a pig in a pigsty. Just to see how people would react. And then if I could make it I would clean up my room so my mother would be very happy
And most important: Post the rest of my fanfic here on VTM!

That's a great question, and quite intriguing.
Well, of course, I would make sure not to sleep at all in all those hours. I would want to spend all that time awake to complete all my goals.
I would want to call up everyone I love and tell them so, and make sure they know, then invite them over and have a good time with them in my last hours. I'd give everyone a hug and tell them how special they are to me and in what ways.
And with a few friends my age I would hit the mall with them and just act ridiculous.
I would also want to milk a cow. I have always wanted to that.
I would have all my animals with me and take my dogs for a hike one last time. I'd arrange where all my animals would go.
Most of all I would soak up every bit of life and forget about anger and spite. . .which is what I am trying do now because you never know how long you have.
