With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
As leader of survivors, I would use my given powers to choose an heir to my "throne," and then kill myself. Electing me as a leader is a very stupid mistake to make. I'm no leader, I'm a follower.
... But, if I had to remain leader... that is, if any living heirs were even worse leaders than myself, I'd find cars that still work, and have everyone go from fallen city to fallen city to gather intact food, medical suplies, and tools. I would then take a truck, go to every library I could find, and grab all the books. Every one of them. Fiction, nonfiction, textbooks, what-have-you. With knowledge gained from these books (assuming that my "followers" can still read), I would then proceed to direct the creation of a society that uses genetically altered/created creatures as houses. These creatures would be large and self-sufficient, with roots that feed on water within the Earth. Their interiors would be multi-roomed, sphincter-like doors (not -blam!- sphincters, mind you!). They would have little outlets in their "walls," where you could plug special plug-adaptions made for electrical appliances so those appliances can use the naturally-generated electricity within the creature as a power source.
These creatures also have separate, erm, things that collect your wastes and use them as another food source. The "excess" water (water it takes but doesn't really need for life) that the creature takes from the ground and your wastes is converted into a sweet-tasting sap that has "all the nutrients you will ever need" (think of the "bowl of snot" from The Matrix, but better-tasting, and it looks just like water). This sap is accessable from "inflatable sacs" that aren't very visible when empty. The sacs fill up into clear, bulb-shaped bubbles that hang from the ceiling (they hang low enough to be easily accesable). The sacs have a little "food nipple" that when you squeeze, it shoots the lovely sap out (presumeably into a cup that you're holding... although I suppose if you want to have sap fights, you can aim the nipple at someone and squeeze then...).
I would later make all cars electric, not gas, and alter the batteries so they can be recharged using the "House-creatures." Thus, a somewhat symbiotic relationship developes between you and your house.
<ahem> Creativity aside, I'll say that if I were the last person on Earth, I would simply wander in one direction endlessly, contemplating whatever thoughts, until I die from hunger, dehydration, and madness.
