First off, thanks to Renchamp for replying. Nice to know I'm not purely talking to myself, though again, still lost as to why anyone would want to read about my life or my thoughts on things.
Anyway, after watching some TV tonight, a couple of random thoughts on quick ways to commit suicide in dramas.
Call /e-mail/text someone to inform them something that resembles "I have discovered something really important, but it's too dangerous to tell you over the phone/by e-mail/by text. Meet me at..." If you do, you've just guaranteed that you will be murdered at said rendezvous point so that whoever you contacted can find your corpse. Sure, in the plus column you'll be avenged and the secret you discovered will be rediscovered by your friend, but you'll still have died, which definitely falls into the minuses.
Similarly, if you ever discover something momentous that people might kill to keep secret, and you decide to share it with someone you trust/blackmail the secret's holder/try to win the secret's holder over by reassuring them that you know it but would never betray them by revealing it, and they ask you "Have you told anyone else about this?" the proper response, the only one that might let you live more than another couple of minutes, is "No, BUT I have arranged it that should I be killed or go missing then what I have found will be passed on to the police, army, press, put out on Twitter, Facebook and multiple forums, written over the city by skywriters, and otherwise widely promulgated." Fail to say that and the person you have told will swiftly kill you to keep things secret (especially if you didn't realise it was their secret to begin with and just thought you were sharing it with someone you trusted). And no good saying you've trusted it going to a single authority, like the cops alone - whoever you told will then automatically have a way of intercepting it.
