Psychological Zombie Warfare

"Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools"--Napoleon Bonaparte

Lately I have been so obsessed with  AMC's The Walking Dead that I watched the entire 2 seasons in about 4 days. Yes that may seem pathetic, but only to those who haven't seen the glory that is that show, which is more pathetic in my opinion.

(I do not own this picture)
Don't let that beauty fool you. She just wants to eat you.

The show does have some side effects:

1. Drunk people walking down the street look like zombies
2. You want to buy an arsenal of guns, machetes, and other zombie killing materials
3. I want to zombie-proof my flat aka restructure it to be all metal and be able to completely seal itself in a matter of seconds. Also it needs to be solar powered and have tunnels to various secure areas. A garden of veggies is also a must. A girl has to eat!
4. I also have vivid nightmares about getting chased by zombies
5. People coming up behind me and breathing creepily put themselves in mortal peril. For example, I was in cafe nero after watching the massacre of the season finale. An old man with a head cold walked up behind me way closer than he probably should've, but he's old he can do what he wants, and breathed JUST LIKE A ZOMBIE IN MY EAR. There was a split second where this dialogue happened:

"S*&% there's a zombie right behind me that's going to eat me... Wait why is no one else running from the zombie... Oh yeah because I'm mental and they don't exist.. yet."

I turned around slowly with this look on my face:


That's my "you almost died for doing that in my ear you fake zombie."

Some of you may think I'm paranoid, but watch the show and then look around and see just how many people walk like zombies, especially when you're walking alone at night. It's unsettling. I've decided when the zombie apocalypse occurs I will be the most badass zombie killer in the land. Pure fact.
One thing is for sure: I will not be the whiny one running around screaming getting everyone else killed. It's just not my style.

All I know is I'm not the only one who thinks about these things. There have even been scientific studies showing that there are some diseases out there that could possibly mutate and have zombie like effects. When that happens whoever owns the house in the picture below is well prepared.
