days where you want the stand to happen? So you can actually prove to yourself you are actually worth something, and there is a purpose for your life?

Do you mean the plague in the book, or the triumphant Stand in the end?

If you mean the story of the book and the plague then no.... if you mean having an experience like the Stand in the end then yes.

Oooh yeah

Have those kinda days more times than I care to remember

I meant The Triumphant end, So you can prove to yourself and to those who never believed in you and said you would amount to nothing.

Absolutely. I'm totally in favour of 99% of the planet's population being wiped out! That would coincide nicely with the percentage of people walking this Earth that I have trouble tolerating.

**K4driver** · June 26th, 2009

That brings up another good point. If The stand happened what character would you be?

Not so much the bit about proving yourself, but when I was younger (particularly in junior high and high school) I fantasized about the events. I was kind of the scapegoat of my class, so the plague sounded lovely. Now, certainly not; I have a husband and a little girl.

I would have to be written in as Nick's significant other

I sometimes feel like that just wondering if I had what it takes, and also I would be intrested to see the dicotomy of the sides...I feel like I would be drawn to the free zone...but who knows, my destiny may lie in the west!?! jk haha

Whenever I hear about something awful people have done to other humans, animals or nature I feel that ache in my heart, or whenever I hear about fantasist, racism, violence towards men, women and children, ignorance, cruelty and hate I wonder if it wouldn't be great just makign a fresh start.

Of course, as The Stand aspires to teach us, humans change very little and at time... Well, time is a face on the water, or a wheel, and you won't change things for the better if you relieve them over again, just end up at the same bad point, feeling dumber than ever.
