Things I Hate 8/27/08

• Waterskiing (the next day, of course).

• Things ending.

• Zombies.

• Thinking about zombies.

• Thinking about any inevitable "bio-disaster" that I am not prepared for (such as zombies).

• Having to dream about all the wats I will be eaten by zombies if one gets into the house because I watched about a minutes of [the non-gory parts of] "Dawn of the Dead".

• Only being comforted about the obviously imminent threat by the fact that as the zombies come up the stairs my brother's door is in front of mine.

• Zombies. Wait, did I already..?

Wondering Being forced to think of how I would escape in many of these situations:

• School • Home • My old school • A friend's house • Downtown • The mall thing from "DotD" • My room

• Not finding any solutions ("Mr. Pogact/Mom/Mr. Lasher/Ken/Dumpling Lady/Alex/Shit, where do we/you/I keep the shotguns/crowbars/courage?").

• Having to go to bed early even though I know it's for my own good.

I hope that the zombie apocalypse waits to happen for a while...

Are you kidding? I can't

Are you kidding?
I can't wait to start blasting zombified heads off with a shotgun! Not to mention chainsaws and axes...hehehe *evil gnome laugh*

Save some ammo for me,

Save some ammo for me, please.

And a machete.

I like those.

My preferred weapon

My preferred weapon is a hardcover book, which I don't think will do much against the undead...

*Hides behind Wannabe*

No, they'll do some

No, they'll do some damage.

You just need something hefty, like, say, War and Peace.

But only the War side.

Clever,

Clever, my friend. I'm considering my new textbooks now, actually. The Bio book alone could give any zombie a serious dent. Greenie's deadly with a classic, and there's some new martial art that involves finely weighted pens. (Not kidding--they throw them a lot. Point-first.)

Well then!

This certainly was not the response I was expecting.

Well, when one speaks of zombies... *sigh*
