  • What would you do if a zombie outbreak occured?

    So this is the follow up on my featured question answer that
    turned into a story. Which you can find here Part One

    I switch from my pov to a narrator so I say when I  switch.
    Im not even sure if youre allowed to do that in a story but
    oh well Im doing it.

    (First person)

    Josh steered in closer to me, I thought he was going to
    wreck into me but he didn't. "I don't know!"
    he yelled in desperation from behind his helmet.
    We were riding at top speed, I could hear Jed
    blasting off a couple more shots from behind us.
    The moment was surreal, my mind was blank.
    Did I really have to make this decision?
    Where was I supposed to take everyone?
    I barely knew what was going on.
    Josh must have picked up on my indecision.
    "Lets just stay on the main road until we know its
    clear and then well stop!" He yelled over to me.
    So we rode alongside the river. I didn't see anyone.
    A few abandoned cars on the side of the road.
    But we kept driving. Who did we think we were kidding?
    We had nothing. One guy with some guns. A bunch of bikes
    that would soon run out of gas and no food. We needed to
    find other people. But everyone would be locked up in
    their homes. No one is going to help us. We had to find
    the police or some kind of organization. But seeing as
    how no one came for us at the mall. That didn't look to
    promising. I was thinking too far ahead. First we needed
    to find a place to stop and stay. And if we lived through
    the night, then find people.

    (Narrator)

    Sarah was driving, but not fast enough for her taste.
    She wasn't much for being clear in the back of the pack,
    and especially not for being the one responsible for
    driving the guy who was saving everyones butts. Jed
    held one arm tightly around her waist, while twisted
    around still scanning behind them for any stragglers
    that might come out of the trees lining the road.
    She felt him shift back around."I think that's all of'em!"
    He has an accent, she thought. It's country, but maybe
    more southern. Then she scolded herself for noticing
    his accent rather than what he had actually said.
    "Good!" she yelled back. She felt like good was a stupid
    reply. This has got to be the weirdest first date ever.

    (First person)

    The hum of the bikes became overwhelming.
    I kept looking back, making sure everyone was ok and
    accounted for. Ron was still driving Sherill on a
    quad.He looked completely out of it.Or maybe just guilty
    for allowing the zombies to get into the mall. Sherill
    was clinging to Ron's back with her eyes shut, I guess
    she didn't get a hold of a helmet.Sherills BFF Cathy was
    driving a bike keeping to the back right of me. Sherill
    and Cathy were in their forties and in a sick way
    Cathy almost looked like the was having fun. I hadn't
    heard Jed shoot for a few minutes now. I took another
    quick look back. Sarah was still back there, and she
    looked ok. I saw Jed's head popping up over her shoulder.
    How did I not know she had been talking to this guy?
    Matt the 19 year old  goth guy was on a quad driving
    in front of them. A black quad at that. I had to wonder
    if he took it just to match his outfit. How am I keeping
    any sense of humor during all of this? Collin and Beth,
    the cute engaged couple were gaining up on me from the
    left side. I think they're wanting to say something.
    Colling flipped up his visor. "What the heck are we doing?"
    He had an irritated tone. He was always annoyed that no
    one ever followed his lead. I pointed to Josh.
    I didnt feel like talking to them right now.
    Or pretending to know the answer to his question.

    (Narrator)

    "What! Is going on?!" Collin screamed at Josh.
    Beth flipped up the visor on her helmet and gave Josh
    and apologizing glance. Beth was constantly picking up
    after her fiances personality flaws. Josh had to take a
    deep breath. He knew all of them were surly wondering the
    same thing and he felt it was silly that just because
    he was driving in front that he had to have all the answers.
    But it seemed since the virus had gotten into the mall
    that was the position he and Josie had unwittingly taken.
    And something was obviously bothering Josie, besides being
    horrified. Something was on her mind that was inhibiting
    her at the moment, So Josh knew he had to take up the
    slack for now.

  • Been A Busy Bee



    Well busy in my world anyway.
    Ive been in service allot.

    Im sitting here looking at that last icon and it reminded me of the rabbit I was
    sewing. Poor little thing. I was about to sew her legs on one day when I realized
    that one of her legs was missing! I know it had to have something to do with the
    construction guys. Maybe they accidentally threw it away.
    I knew it was right there with her other leg in the box that I kept her and all my
    sewing supply's in. Oh well, now I'll have to go to the store
    and find the right kind of material for it.

    Other than service Ive been running around. First there was homecoming.
    We went to the Ohio side of the river to watch the fireworks.
    But ended up too far away. So we and a bunch of other stupid people who
    didnt take into account that the river bent walked closer into some persons
    backyard that smelled really bad. But we couldn't see still. So we frantically
    drove closer and pulled over for the last bits of it.

    Fireworks!









    Here's mom and dad, dads giving the rock on sign and no neither
    of them were drinking haha. If mom knew I had this on here she would
    probably get mad and tell me to take it off lol. They stayed in the car to
    watch the fireworks.


    Sarah, taking a picture of me taking a picture of Sarah


    Obviously this is me. And my awesome boobs.


    We look like those Hollywood girls that are like bimbo skanks that ride
    around in our limo doing drugs and getting wasted. hahahha.


    So thats it for the fireworks. The next day was homecoming.
    :::EDIT:::

    Took some stuff off... will repost later.

  • My whole boddy is the size of her upper body...



    My mom was insisting I wear my sisters clothes to bible study last night...
    She didnt want to drive me back to my place, therefore I had to look like a gargantuan in preteen clothing.

    Wasnt gonna happen.

    So I didnt go. Mumsy said to mom "C'mon my whole body is the size of her upper body!" a little bit of an
    exaggeration but indeed by arms and legs would have looked a little ridiculous coming out of her 12 year old clothes. Sometimes my mom completely lacks normal judgment on things, and other times she is like a genious.
    I spent my time on runescape, and when the computer auto shut down at 9:00 I started leveling Mumsys character on her dragon quest viii game.

    That night I got a call from a guy asking why I wasnt there. This guy had told me that he didnt like me anymore and told me all about this new girl he was into. So I was like cool... I dont have to worry about that anymore. But then suddenly I found myself getting messages from him constantly like I have to report to him every time Im not there. I suppose he does it to everyone, but I started to not  believe him when he said he was over me. Next thing I know he goes back on what he said and claims he doesnt like this girl anymore. Not much of a surpise, truth be told, she's not exactly guy friendly. Im not even sure she has any interests at all. Im not even sure how to start a conversation with her. But that throws the whole problem back in my lap. I cant help but think he did this as a tactic to make me drop my guard. "Oh he doent like me anymore, Im safe.." BAM!

    Ive never been very comfortable with the whole, "I just think of you as a friend" thing. Thats allways the cliche let down and I feel cheep using it. But at the same time, its the only thing that works. He's 17, so Im like, dude that would make me a child molester... not to mention just EW on many levels. Ive known him since he was a toddler. I dont want memories of my husband as a baby... just ew. Besides I could never actually date someone Ive grown up with. There are a few guys that I would make an exception for because I maybe have technicaly known them forever, but dont really remember them because I never saw them. I think mainly for me, I just want something new and exciting. Not some guy Ive been around since before I liked boys.

    I am a person that either knows or doesnt. I see on movies or hear poeple say, "maybe Ill give him a chance". As if some kind of magical attraction fairy is going to sprinkle her lust dust on you and make you want him after finding out hes really a "Nice guy". That deosnt happen to me, either Im super attracted or Im super not. There are no gray areas of getting to know the guy that shifts me to "OOooh Yeaaa" or to "Heck No!"  The whole thing can go completely awry and Ill still find the guy totally hot. In one case I was getting to know a guy that was pretty darn good looking, but I didnt feel anything. Nothing. Had the relationship not ended so soon, I still wonder if I could have eventually become attracted to him? I dont think so, I think no is no and yes is yes with me. Which is a problem, because you got all these stupid teen movies where they make a whole story about a geeky guy or a geeky girl or someone who's chasing after someone, and all they have to do is change themselves, get cooler, do better, get the persons attention and suddenly the persons dream girl or guy asks them out and they live happily ever after.

    So here we have this poor boy insisting that all he has to do is change to have me. Like Ive got some kind of checklist and all he has to do is fill all the necessary categories, like hes applying for a job. I like to think that there is still some kind of magic in attraction. I like to think with some people, its just there from the start. And though love at first sight I know isnt real, I would like to believe that sometimes you just have this unsealable thing with another person that cant be described and it doesnt have to be nurtured, it doesnt have to be worked on or kept up with, because its there no matter what. And to be bruitally honest, if I can imagine ravishly kissing the guy, I pretty much drop the whole idea. Gosh, you must be thinking, that has to be like the worst filter ever?

    But how do I say, that there is "no way in heck" without being a dream squashier? I wouldnt normally be so tippy toe about the situation, and if it was anyone else saying the things he is I would be completely blunt. But were talking about a 17 year old... and I have to be around him allot. Hell get over it. But my flaw was I had approached it with the age issue, when really, age isnt the big issue here. He's talking about being 18 and he's advertising himself with such enthusiasm that I feel like hes shutting me down every time I try to  be honest. Some guy made this book, "hes just not that into you" the guy acts like it us women with the problem. But trust me I know when Im not wanted, and Ive had way more guys harassing me than I have ever seen my girl friends harass a guy. 

    So what keeps us hanging on? A friend and I were talking about a relationship we had both been in where it was over way before we had caught on. We had hung on to it so blindly that we werent even aware the guy was done and moved on. Of course we both figured it out and backed away gracefully enough. But isnt that the worst feeling ever? Nothing like the slow torturous ween off where your sitting there still thinking your dating the person lol. Why do we do this? Were like kids with one of those giant multi-colored suckers and were hanging on to deer life. Like the person is an object that belongs to you. Either side you are on, its not fun. Unless you are a cold hearrless jerk, then, maybe its not so bad.

  • What would you do if a zombie outbreak occured?

    Surfing through featured questions and this one jumped out at me. Though I am not one for gory movies I have seen my share of Zombie Flicks. Night of the Living Dead... and so on. For me this is a very complicated question. And I intend to answer it in a complicated way.

    First of all where am I? Am I chillin at my place when zombies start pouring out of the streets and I have to barricade myself inside? Or am I somewhere with a bunch of people and we have to travel to find other non contaminated people and get out before they quarantine the city? Im going with the last one, because being stuck in my house just doesn't sound like much fun. I am wondering if I would be one of the tough ones, that go around kicking the zombies in the teeth, helping other people along the way? Or would I be the scared chick that finds some cute guy to cling to the entire time and then ends up getting turned and he has to kill me?


     Haha I can see it now.... Sarah and I are in the Grand Central Mall when the outbreak happens.
    (Stuck in the grand central mall, thats bad enough)
    And taking into consideration our reactions at the spook house at busch gardens...
    I will definitely be the one kicking the zombies in the teeth and Sarah will definitely be the scared chick.
    Well...more like poking the zombies in the eyes maybe...

    So were in the mall and everyone is trying to keep the zombies out. Sarah and I will go to the roof and start trying to communicate with the people on the roof of wal-mart. Everyone will complain because wal-mart has more food than us. Then Dustin will start to turn and one of us will have to run him over with a four wheeler. (Sorry Dustin)
    Ronna will be there and she will start to lose her mind and try to sell everyone supplements.
    The guy from spencers will forget that the light saber isnt real and hell be the one to accidently let the zombies in.
    We have no choice but to get on the quads and bikes and run to wal-mart. But the leaders of wal-mart wont let us in. And my Dad is in there because he was working, and for one dramatic scene my Dad and I will see each other through the glass doors and sad music will play.

    But the zombies are right behind us, and after being rejected by the wal-mart staff we must figure out where to go. *enters half-baked studly hero guy*   A guy jumps from the roof of wal-mart weilding a sawed off shot gun and all kinds of other weapons. He jumps Onto a bike with Sarah while blasting Zombies heads off. "Whos this?" I ask her. "This is Jed" She says. Sarah and Jed fell in love while communicating on the roof to each other. Sarah and her new found stud muffin keep to the back of the four wheeler/biker gang of survivors, picking off members of the chasing onslaught of Zombies.

    "Where are we going?" I yell at the top of my lungs to Josh (aka Itchy) who was riding next to me in the front.

    To be continued....

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

    Or was it 2006? "Aww I made a carni depressed, maybe I should just sleep with him so he'll be happy." Apparently he got over it becasue he was fine at the multi cultural festival and he was so not in the army.
  • Not_A_Marker
    We laughed for like 5 minutes about us laughing at inapropriate times.
  • Not_A_Marker
    We dug a giant two feet deep(at least)heart-shaped hole in the sand and then realized we dug it right below a steep fourwheeler trail on that hill, but instead of filling it in, we just laughed about how some drunk guy would drive straight into it.
