I can be quite the morbid person at times.

Today, on CNN, there was an article about Legacy Locker, a service that allows you to hand over your digital account info to someone in the event that you die. (Article is found here.)

I read about them once before and now, as then, my thoughts are pretty much the same: that's something cool. As I spend more (all?) of my time outside of work on the internet, I branch out into more and more things. Who would notify my friends on WoW if I died? Who would let my facebook contacts know if something happened to me? While there are people who have access to my WoW account (for now) and my facebook login is saved on my comp, that might not always be so.

I guess I could put all my login information on a flash drive and put it in a safe deposit box or something, but what if it doesn't work in the event of it being needed?

I always say I'm being morbid at times like this, but I can't help but think about a neighbor of mine in Philly who dropped dead of a stroke the day before her 40th birthday. I'm sure there are things that her daughter wished she could have put her hands on/knew about when she was going about preparing for the funeral and tying up ends.

I suppose I should start preparing my "death papers." The Beastie is too young to know/understand much about me (except that I'm mean because she can't have an Xbox 360 or PS3 right now) and my family knows even less to my thinking.

Wow. Another blog. I'm so original.

My last blog (on LJ) was started because I was having a horrendous day at work and needed somewhere to blow off steam before I went postal.

This blog is the result of me checking out someone's page and realizing, "Hey, I signed up for this for some reason some undefined time ago." (What can I say, it's kinda easy to get me to do some things.)

What will I blog about on this new, as-yet-uncluttered-by-my-mania blog? A friend of mine suggested that I talk about things from the view of a gamer/single mom point of view, but I'm bored just thinking about that. . .

I'll just be random for a bit until a "theme" appears and I'll run with it. Sounds like a plan. . .

Whew. . .I'm tired already. (Laziness is fun, no?)

Enough for today. Maybe more tomorrow.
