I'll bet I die by being hit by a snowplow during a freak June snowstorm...
Don't know why, I just thought that might be it when a snowplow drove past me today doing a speed no snowplow should be doing *shudder*

Not by drowning, I hope.

Members here who are fortunate to have (the proverbial) loving family may find that answer incomprehensible, but it needs to be understood that there must be a respectable number of loners and misfits (outcast unclean!) here at the Watch who, when they die, likely won't be surrounded by attentive, loving ones. That's life.
How do I want to die? Without pain, and at a time and place of my choosing. Also, it would be nice to die knowing I had accomplished something meaningful in my life, defined by me as meaningful, not by people who just want to make me feel better.
How do I think I'll die? With some degree of pain, and likely not at an ideal time of my choosing. And I could die without achieving what I want to achieve in my life.
Sound depressing? Well, I can hope for some sense of solitary dignity in my passing. Dying alone, I can pretend I'm an Unfettered One: unloved and unmourned perhaps, but at the same time free of clutter in his life.
That's my outlook pretty much, except I'm not concerned about doing anything meaningful before I die (even what I consider meaningful, like publishing a book). As long as I've enjoyed the majority of it (which I have, so far) they can send me to hell and I'll still have no regrets.

When thinking of my own death, I am reminded of Aragorn. His life was a gift, and in the end he had the grace to give it back and go before old age and sickness toke him perforce.
I would like to be like that.

It is possible actually.
According to the Bible, there will be some that are called to heaven in the end times. If you are a Christian & the end times come & you hear the angel's trumpet, the rapture has happened & you are floating to meet Jesus in the skies to await a new body in heaven.

Well said. Live so that you will have no regrets. What more can one ask for?

How will I die? Probably be murdered.

Public execution in a third world country I should think. Preferably hanging but a firing squad or guillotine would be acceptable.

The guillotine could arguably be the least painful, if it's done right. Hanging shouldn't be too bad either--as long as the rope snaps your neck cleanly...

I was told that drowning is actually a peaceful way to go.
It is quicker than most people think and hardly ever painful.
This was told to me by a person whom succeeded several times
in suicide attempts.
(Did I ever tell you about living in a haunted house???)

Haunted house? You've got my interest too.
I have no idea how i'll die, i really don't care all that much either, it will happen eventually, then i'll know. Until then i'll just keep on living my life how i want to.

Not sure, but I'm willing to bet it'll be something stupid. I can almost guaranty my last words will be, "Watch this!".
