What should I do with my MSN after i die?

seriously this is a damn annoying thought lah.. erm it just popped up and I was like.. hmm good question hor..

my instinct told me.. hmm set some kind of automatic response saying "Hi I am really really dead.." But it doesnt make sense.. What will you think if you say 'hi' to someone on MSN and then got a response saying "Hi I am really really dead.." erm.. after I talked to my father aout this.. he suggested that I might change my MSN nickname to "此人已死,有事请焚钱烧纸"

erm.. then I was wondering if technology can improve to the stage where people can interact with the dead.. If it's possible thenI will just bring my laptop over and sign in my MSN... erm.. then the status will be something like "[xuan] my erhu my love.. (dead)".. weird..

hmm it might be possible that MSN becomes so popular that they will start to charge for using MSN.. (From an economist's point of view.. It's possible..) Then will lose all my contacts in the MSN after I die, if my sons or daughters forget to pay for my MSN.. wah then it must be very sad.. (I wonder if I can still feel sad after I die..)

another question is that if MSN can live as long as I can? Good question right.. theoretically I might die at any time.. maybe next minute.. or nxt centry.. hehe but I think I will live very long.. cos in Chinese we say.. “好人不长命,坏人活千年”.. If I really can live that long.. erm can MSN survive that long? If MSN cannot.. then there must be some kind of substitute right.. like Yahoo messenger.. ICQ.. or in another form or other name.. What should I do with the substitute then?

hmm I also thought of maybe I should cancel my MSN account before I die.. And send everyone in my contact list a note.. "Hi I am going to die in about 20 minutes.. I will not use this MSN account anymore.. Bye.." but what if I dun haf the time before I die? Cos I forsee that I must be damn busy before I die lor.. must say Bye to so many people.. haha

my mum suggested that I can give my MSN account password to my children.. then tell them some family treasure is hidden inside.. then all my children will have an interesting time fighting for my MSN account and deciphering all the msgs saved in my MSN.. then Hollywood might film a movie called "XZ's MSN" or sth like that..

hehe maybe I can sell my account to some people before I die.. But to whom? And what should I do with the money I get from selling my MSN account?

any suggestions?

can anyone tell me why I am having this kind of rubbish in my mind?

ps: I think most probably my MSN account will be deactivated due to never sign in for too long after I die..

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
