Hmm, I've long said if I knew I had to die and could pick my own way, it would be falling from a huge height (think canyon or skyscraper) because right before I died I would know what it's like to fly and I would pass out before I hit the ground.

Plus my spatter would probably make some good performance art.

Given these choices I would probably say pirahnas because hey, who doesn't want to look good enough to eat and I know I would be in the ocean where I lived when I was a mermaid.

C'mon, the cool kids are going with wolves.

I had heard somewhere that a suitably smokey fire would actually suffocate you before any burning, but I don't trust LJ to build it proper.

yeah, but with your luck you'd get hit by a bus right before the ground and you'd spend your last second thinking, "WTF?!? I can't even die the way I want???"

Well, tongue in cheek or not, that's probably true.

My dad told me two years ago that if my luck ever changes "think how good it will be." I'm saving up my luck for a biggie, I think.

Not to say I don't bring some bad luck to myself...but I really am not a lucky person, if there is such a thing.
