you need a hugPandora said:I hate wakes. I'd rather take a trip to the gyno than go to one. Just look as depressed as possible and you'll fit right in. Course if you aren't depressed before you arrive don't worry, you will be within 5 minutes of being there. Then you can stand around and watch everyone talk about how much of a shame it is they passed on, how much they will be missed (tho many won't actually miss them) and all the good memories they had of that person (as if it were like their 5 mins of fame with the deceased) while they ball their eyes out over someone they probably never really ever knew.
