Wills and What Not
Amanda and I have been working on a campaign for Quicken WillMaker – easy to use software that lets you create a will in a matter of minutes. We decided to write our own goofy wills as a fun little creative exercise to get us in a will-making mindset. We tried a few different strategies during our time in ad school but had to put things on hold when we both got our first jobs. Stay tuned to see what we come up with – our team portfolio is being revived and reworked!
Until then – here are our wills:
AMANDA
Car - Donate to charity, unless one of my sisters or Nick doesn’t have a working car
CD’s (all 40 of them) – Donate to library or give back to people who gave them to me
Food in fridge – Give to the homeless
Food in freezer – Stays with the roommate
Food in pantry – Donate to Capitol Food Bank
Socks – White ones go to Nick, Fun ones go to Terri
Makeup – Kim
The Dude (the dog) – Goes to Nick and my mom gets visitation
Clothes – My sister can have the ones she wants, others go to Goodwill
Secret Stash of Cash - The Dude gets it. He should pay for his own way sometimes
“Goodie” Box – Kim
Art – Should go on tour as the largest collection of female nudes
Sharpies – Sarah – she likes to doodle, and they come in 20 colors
Knickknacks – Shall be wrapped as white elephant gifts for the Trogus Christmas Get-together
TV’s – Give to Nick when he returns to the states
Huge Debt – Goes to my parents
Last Poo – Please place on the door step of the woman who always comes out and stands on the porch when I pass her house while walking the dog
Furniture – Free for all – must lick it to claim it
Mac – Mom, now you can have a computer that doesn’t get viruses
Books – Art/Design/Photography books goes to the Leobrary; CA’s go to the freshman ad students; Others will have to be won by games of paper-rock-scissors one-by-one
SARAH
Car – little bro…for all of the times I picked on him.
Books – donate. Hopefully they’ll find loving homes.
Furniture/Household Gadgets – Friends get first dibs, then put it on a garage sale. Don’t price anything – just take the first offer. Send money to a charity.
Electronics – Eh, little bro again – why not? The kid’s broke.
Clothes – my current wardrobe is pathetic. No lie. Working at a laid back SEO firm doesn’t require you to look even remotely nice. Tshirts/jeans/flip flops…that’s basically it. Give to charity and hope that someone can find some use for them.
CDs and other music – give my dad back the CDs I stole over the years. Bury me with Changesbowie. K thanks.
Movies – donate to the local library. Their current movie selection blows chunks.
Diary – no one touches the diary. Put it next to Changesbowie.
Student Loan Debt – Just tell them I’m on vacation. Maybe they’ll never figure things out.
Food – if there are actually “kids starving in China” please send them my food. Surely my mom wasn’t lying…?
Passwords to my social networking stuff – secretly give to one of my friends. Pick randomly. Tell them to tweet/email/update once after I’m gone. I love a good prank.
