Deneb, there is not, nor will there probably ever be anyone just like you here. You're unique. :)
yes, I think many of us would be sad if you died. I would. But why make people sad? We'd also be happy if you got better, stayed here, etc. And YOU'D be happier, too. I don't think death is akin to starting over...it's not like a 'second chance.' If you want a second chance, you have to make it yourself in life. (And I hate to say this...but...all of us are temporary, and when we die, we will be eventually forgotten. To postpone that -- live as long as you can!!!!)
I know it sometimes seems that people only respond to negative posts or negative thoughts, but positive people have HUGE effects on me/us too! (Even if we don't always say so!)
For example, I think I've really learned a lot from Dinah, GG, Orchid and countless other posters, who write about their happy times and successes in addition to their sad times & struggles. I might not always respond to their good news, but if I read it, I feel happy for them.
I think the babble party will be interesting, but possibly not as exciting as you describe. I think people will be a bit cautious to meet each other, perhaps a bit withdrawn at first. I'm not sure people will be very party-hearty-ish. Especially since we have a wide range of ages and backgrounds & stuff.
The plant-travel thing sounds quite cool. What other careers have you thought about?
take care,
JenStar
