I try not to think too hard about death too, for basically those reasons. Except I don't worry about Hell. I sometimes ponder Heaven but nothing can make believe Hell exists. Which I suppose is a comfort really. To be honest though, thinking too much about death tends to scare the shit out of me.

Do you not own all of the Song of the Lioness? Or are they just in the wrong place? It is great fun reading the first one - I may re-read them at some point soon. (I just re-read The Protector of the Small and was all in love because it's awesome)

I suggest a "shuffling from this mortal coil" tag. It's much cooller. :) *hugs*
