1. Enroll in a local college somewhere.
2. Get an educational loan from CitiBank, say for about $10,000. My credit's good. Shouldn't be too hard. With my savings and the money in my mutual fund, I could have some fun.
3. Buy a couple cartons of clove cigarettes.
4. Take the money and go to Vegas. But fuck the gambling. Cheap drinks and strippers await.
5. Head from Vegas to LA, where hoards of shallow, stupid, unbelievably hot blondes await.
6. Rent a flashy car to pick up said blondes.
7. Run around to various clubs in Hollywood and just bribe my way in.
8. If I run across Mandy Moore, give her some sob-story about how I only have a month to live (the Big C will do nicely here), and now I'm just "blowing all my money on cheap fun and being someone I'm not" to hopefully coax her into having sex with me.
9. Fly across the country to Boston, just because I've always wanted to go there. Get stupidly drunk for a few days.
10. Fly to New York. I've been there, but never experienced the night life. I seek to change that.
11. Fly to New Zealand to visit my friend there. Try to get her to have sex with me. Otherwise, get stupidly drunk.
12. Fly to Ireland to visit my other friend there. Try to get her to have sex with me. Otherwise, get stupidly drunk.
13. Fly to Amsterdam. This part is self-explanatory.
14. Fly to Italy. If I die, I die a happy death while sitting on a beach in the Mediterranean. Else, I just enjoy myself and go back to work.

Better add a few zeros to that loan. I'm gonna follow Durandal around 'cause the man has a plan!.

Take a month of my vacation time, get married, travel the world with my fiancée, get her pregnant.

Not to just say "yeah, I'll do this, too," but that seriously sounds like something I'd also want to do.

Seriously. There's just something about having a month left to live and driving for thousands of miles on a motorcycle with no destination in mind that makes these two concepts fit together so well.

Plenty of galliano and absinthe and eating out twice a day while in the process of flying around the world and visiting as many interesting places as possible. I would also try and see about hiring one of those helicopters which supposedly landed on the top of Mt. Everest--it would be awesome to burn all of my money becoming the first person to reach the top of Mt. Everest by climbing out of a helicopter onto the summit. I would then find the highest un-summitted mountain the world and repeat the feat to leave climbers bitching about me for the next two hundred years over whether or not I count as having been someone on the summit. As a grand finale I go to Antarctica so that if I die I have at least secured a place in the limited number of people who have, 1. visited Antarctica, and 2. died there.

You'd do that knowing there's a 5 in 6 chance it wouldn't have a father?

1. Write out a will.
2. Hit on that chick I like(probably go nowhere but its worth a shot)
3. Have fun
4. On day 29 go to the authorities with everything I have ever done.
5. See what happens next.

No shit. I´ll go for the same in a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Presumably it's something aerius intends to do anyway. There'd only be a morally questionable factor if someone did so because they would not be around.

It's either that or having my sperm frozen so she can have our baby when she's ready. Come to think of it, I think this would be the better choice.

I'm quite sure J would sooner he gave her a child before he died, especially with the 1 month warning.

Cause after he's dead, it would be kinda hard....

Any chance of having some DNA stored...just in case...you know, the hacks in Washington Un-lose their fucking minds and start giving some serious money for cloning?

I have a standing offer for nookie that I should probably take advantage of in such a case.

Umm, besides that, finish a few of my projects, prepay one of my web hosts and domain registration for something like ten years and let it sit as a memorial with said projects.

I'd definitely do some sort of traveling - either driving across the country, or else going to Switzerland. I'd take out a loan separate from the college loans--no sense screwing myself over, in case I did survive.

Although I'm a very social person, I'd probably say my (most likely) goodbyes beforehand, and then do the traveling alone. Something about spending my last few weeks in contemplative solace, seems the best to me. Maybe I'd write some very personal confessions and more heartfelt messages to my loved ones, and put them as a part of my will; that way, they'd only be read when/if I were to die. If I survived, the trip would still have been a nice getaway, and there wouldn't be any lasting damage.

If it were me, I'd tell everyone I know that I had a horrible premonition about dying in one month. No reason to be coy. Then I'd load up on a truly obscene amount of term life insurance. As much as I can legally get and afford. If I die, I want Rebecca to be able to afford gigolos, gold-plated dildos, and fat trust funds for the kids while still having enough money left over to travel the world after I'm gone and retire comfortably in a solar-powered bungalow with burly security guards. If I don't die, it's just term life insurance after all, so I can cancel the policies after paying for the first two months' premiums.

After that, I'd make sure I say my goodbyes and spend as much time as I can with Rebecca and the kids. I would also burn copies of my entire website source code, data, project materials, passwords, SD.Net BBS forum data, and unfinished work to DVD-R with instructions to send them to Wayne Poe and Rob Dalton if I don't survive.

Ooh, good call on the life insurance. Hadn't thought of that.

1. Finish all of the games that I have, that I haven't beaten yet.
2. Have sex.
3. Tear my mom a new one.
4. Experiment with drugs.
5. Take revenge on the kids at my school that constantly give me crap.
6. Blow up my school.
7. Kill Q.
8. Find and kill the guy who stole my MP3 player.
9. Rock out for the rest of the month.

Sounds like someone didn't do a fantastic job of reading the OP.

I'm shocked.

6. Blow up my school.

Why would you want to do such a thing?

8. Find and kill the guy who stole my MP3 player.

Do you mean "kill" figuratively or literally?

Id do what I did in Iraq. Have my affairs in order and stay in contact with everyone as much as possible - family, friends et al.

The life insurance is a good idea as well. Id also go on active duty that week, so my family gets an additonal 500k.

I got a bit carried away.

For everyone who wants to take out life insurance, it'd be a bad idea to buy a ton of it, then go on a mysterious world tour or start doing crazy things. Theres a two-year contestability clause put into 99% of policies sold, which means if you die in a somehow crazy way/suicide/die of a disease that is shown you previously had within that time period, then the insurance company won't have to pay back anything other than the one month premium you put into it. So see if Q can make the death look good if you can't make your saving throw.

As for myself, I'd probably personally visit as many of my friends and family that I possibly could (considering the majority of my circle is still in the NY area), and without outright saying "I'm going to die", just try and have as good a time as I could with them, then with what time I had left, I'd probably buy a ticket to Hawaii and sit on the beach, drinking heavy amounts of alcohol in coconuts, listening to music.

No, you revealed that you have the ethics of a cockroach.

Quit my job and spend as much time as I can with family & friends, indulge in fine foods & possibly some mood altering substances.

Incorrect. The two-year exclusion is specifically for suicide. Dangerous activities such as amateur piloting or mountain climbing have to be declared on the application form.

I'd do a bunch of shit I've always been too afraid to do for fear of death. You know, like riding rollercoasters. I'd probably try a bunch of drugs once just to see what it's like. The life insurance is a good idea. I'd try to make sure that my pets would get taken care of. And I'd make sure that either way the roll goes, I get to kick Q right smack in the runts as hard as I fucking could. I'd limit stuff though, because of that 1/6 chance of living. I'd definately streak a church wearing a Bush mask, though.
