I think I'd like to have made a video for people to watch, when I was still capable of being entertaining and not sickly or gross looking/sounding if possible. I'd like people to celebrate life, not mourn death. I will probably have a closed casket and tell people on the video something like, "what you're watching is me... that thing in the box is not me, that's why it's closed. Don't even look at it... this is me talking to you. Remember this. Remember me this way." and then I'd smile and continue on with whatever else I'll have planned.
Also, they should serve red kool-aid and cheetos before the video, with a little card next to them that says "analog's wish was to have red Kool-Aid and Cheetos served with no napkins" so that later, during the video, I can tell everyone to look around and see who has red tongues and orange fingers and they can all laugh. Because really, laughter is hard to come by at a funeral... and laughter is the best thing there is.
I want people to leave knowing that my memory will always be with them, not that my body has left them.
