I would go back the the Russian Steppe, meditate, yabyum, and drink a few shots of Vodka-then I'd sleep.

Shrooms. Lot's of them. Half an ounce. If I was able, maybe I would eat some acid at hour 12 just to kick it up a notch.

I would try to catch Dialga before I die.

In all actuality, I have no clue what I would do. I don't think I would know unless the situation sprung itself upon me.

I would liquidate all of my assets and buy a ferrari f430 off the showroom floor and drive as far as I can until I die.

Spend a few hours writing to friends and family. Spend a few hours with my folks and siblings. Spend the rest of the time with my husband. I don't really care where, probably just at home.

Get JK Rowling to release the seventh Harry Potter book early, and Christoper Paolini to release the last Eragon book. Read until I can't, then draw until I can't. Spend time with boyfriend and family.

EDIT: Do something ban-worthy here.

the first 6-8 hours will be spent doing the right thing (seeing family & friends saying my g-byes, and oh yeah, giving my last confession for the sins i was going to commit :D)...the last 16-18 hours will be living out my badness, hahaha.

:music:I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying,
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'. :music: :D

Yeah, then when you don't die in 24 hours because hypothetical situations dont exist, you'd be out a home, and in massive debt.

Anyone with a serious response needs to get a clue. There are very very few situations where you are fairly sure of your own demise within a very short period of time, and all of them require you to be laying in a hospital bed going in and out of concoiusness.

Make arrangements for my cats to be taken care of, find out what to do about credit card debt when I die (if it passes on to my family or whatever), inform my mom, inform the land lord, maybe arrange for the power, landline, and cell phone services to get cancelled. After that, announce my soon to be dissapearance on the boards I hang out on, then I dunno, watch a movie, play with my cats, mess with the Internets some more.

I have dreams... but they would take more than 24 hours to do or set up. My primary wishes on such short notice is to make arrangements for things to go as smoothly as possible after I'm gone. I'd rather be responsible than frivilous.

Yeah, that sounds WAY too practical. You only have a DAY left to live... let your heirs worry about taking care of your bills!
