My friends joke that if I died suddenly one day, no one would know for several weeks, because everyone would assume I was just craving solitude for a time.
If I die on a Sunday, depending on the week, I might not have anything planned for a few weeks when I’m not gigging. So work would just think I abandoned them. Friends would think I was off in the woods. Neighbors would wonder why I wasn’t cooking outside if the weather is good, but otherwise wouldn’t notice. Mom would assume I was working too much.
Hell, on the wrong week the first person to notice might actually be @fartographer@lemmy.world.
so like, in high school i dropped out in the middle of the year because i was really sick. came back, and apparently i had dropped out so suddenly rumor was i had died. like, i even had a yearbook in memoriam page and everything. i wasn’t thinking because i wasn’t going to get a copy of the yearbook that year like duh but we had to figure out a way to get me a copy. i just went down and told them i was alive. so they got me a copy and took out the in memoriam page. shoulda done it when the teacher wasn’t there.
