i've tried to answer this to myself
i'm only coming up with stuff i would NOT like to write in my obituary.
i wouldn't like to come out with that trite gooey cheese that leaves you with no sense of who the everyday guy was...
the difficulty is; you trying to encapsulate a life in a simple phrase or two. i wouldn't want to be particularly clever or long... isn't it a bit conceited to be writing your own obituary?
i can just imagine someone saying "i was great! you shoulda seen me in bed da-da-da-da-da... i would want some of my less positive points in there too 'cos they joined with the better stuff to make me.
can i just be weak and have a song to fill in the obituary part?
If i had to answer i'd probably say something like... "a mass of contradictions:
(i am, in a good way, and i could go into how but ...nah, not right now!)
...but overall loving, considerate, a deep thinker when he wasn't ditsy...
He loved music, food (if nothing else does, my love of food is probably what'll kill me, I will certainly NOT die of old age.) he loved sports and literature in equal measure his major fascination was with human nature; women in particular (not in a sleazy way) and nature in general...
ok! thinking about this too long gets kinda weird. i'm not dead. dead people don't type. i'm alive. this isn't my obituary per se because i'd have to be dead. ...?
wouldn't I??

Clinton, Maryland (AP):
The funeral services for Bill, age 38, came to an abrupt halt when he sat bolt upright in his casket and said "I was only sleeping!" After being assisted out of the mahogany coffin by mortuary staff, Bill led surprised mourners into the nearby reception room and presided over his own wake.

Charles will have a viewing or wake in his body's presence, as his relatives desire. He will be in open coffin, face down, y-fronts down in back so all those who said he could not graduate uni, or get into a graduate school can offer a last good bye kiss!
--That Cheeky Lad, more cheeky than ever!
(Not THOSE larger cheeks...only upon my death)

Hopefully some of the things about those who are most close to me that I really should have said more often, or just said out loud, so they would know how much they meant to me, and hopefully me to them.

I would take a leaf out of Spike Milligan's book and say "I told you I was ill"
