But hey, Mysterical or Jon might kill ya off XD I don't want you to spare me because I'm your friend. I want you to write what you feel like writing. I don't care if I get killed (though, if you do kill me off, I would want my death to be heroic or epic). Probably shouldn't have said anything. At least you gave me a heroic death, though.

It makes me think of a story, but I don't remember the guy's name.

He was a righteous member of the church. One day, he was talking to Jospeh Smith and he told him that he wanted to die as a martyr. This saddened Joseph and he said something along the lines of "I'm sorry that you ask that because when righteous men like you have sincere selfless desires, the Lord usually gives it to them." Later, that man was killed protecting.... some group of saints or something. It was kind of cool, but kind of sad, too.
