I watch "The Day After Tomorrow" at least twice a year. I'm on pins and needles waiting for "The Walking Dead" to hurry up and add more episodes. I've made my way through the television shows "Jericho," "Jeremiah," "Survivors," along with "Lost" which lets face it, is really along the lines of post-apocalyptic.
There is just something about going up against the odds with a group of people and having to survive something completely unthinkable.
I do have say though, I could seriously NEVER ever ever EVER survive during a post-apocalypse. Seriously. I'm too nice. Haven't eaten for days? Here, take my food. No place to sleep? Well, gosh, take my weather beaten refrigerator box.
I REALLY wouldn't make it through a ZOMBIE apocalypse. "Oh Hi Zombie.... sure, eat my brains!"
What about an apocalypse that is filled with Vampires? Oh hell no. I am NOT letting "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries" fool me. Vampires are bad-mmmm-kay? Not that Zombies aren't bad.... they are. But I'm sure I could outrun one. If a Vampire attacked me and bit my neck.... I'd want it to finish the job. Drain me dry because NO WAY do I ever want to BE a vampire! Come on.... vegetarian vampires? Whatever. Not true. I'd be WAY pissed off if I were turned. Live for hundreds of years? On BLOOD??? Ummmm, EW! I like my steak WELL done. There is no way I could drink blood to survive or keep myself from mummifying. That is what happens you know. If a vampire doesn't drink blood.... she just gets REAL ugly and wrinkled and can't move because her body becomes mummified.
Another reason NOT to become a vampire for me... I'm too old!!! If I were in my 20's and in good shape I MIGHT go along with the idea of surviving hundreds of years as a vampire. But seriously, I'm WAY too out of shape.
Aside from vampires and zombies... if I survived the apocalypse I'd be down right angry. No hot water?? No electricity???? No FACEBOOK??? No VIDEO GAMES??? Ahh, come on!!!!
Gotta run. Need to stock up on water, vitamins, pain killers, anti-biotics, dried food, blankets, battery operated televisions, laptops, water heaters, washers, dryers.... you know, the basics.
Must add to my things to stock up on.... BATTERIES themselves. Sheesh. AND... chocolate.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is you'd need the batteries just in case you survived the apocalypse and I didn't. Cuz... well... yeah.
ReplyDeleteChocolate. Stop up on chocolate! LOL I couldnt survive either :( Mondos ready though, he hates if I give food away! We have 6 jars of peanut butter and we get 1 free every month. Nope not allowed to give them away. Where do I put them!? They're taking up valuable canned veggies space.
ReplyDeleteUhhhhhh, Honey.... if you don't survive, I'm going with you. Batteries ain't gonna do it for me. :)
ReplyDeleteDarcie... start spreading peanut butter on everything you serve him for dinner. I'm sure he'll let you give some away after that!
LOL sounds like a good plan.
DeleteDon't worry, I'll help protect you!
ReplyDeleteBring extra chocolate when you come to protect me. Seriously. That is what will get me through more than anything else. Oh yea, that, and an uzi. Bring one of those too. :)
DeleteI know, I know! My worries are about what movies and books i would take to my deserted island, spices, cooking utencils, blankets, and writing paraphanalia. gotta have that. First sign of a zombie, I am gone. First sign of Klaus, suppress my memories and move me to Denver!
ReplyDeleteAMEN SISTAH!!!!
DeleteHunger does wonders for helping nice people develop an edge.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of it in that way Jack. Hmmmm.... "Oh hello Zombie. Feeling rather peckish? I have a neighbor a few doors down who seems rather tasty..." Maybe I could just view myself as a hostess during a zombie apocalypse.
DeleteIf you really had to survive, I think you'd learn to say no a few times... especially to ZOMBIES.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would survive. I want to club a zombie into its second death. I want to burn a vampire into hell. I want to fight for my survival, but I don't want the struggle to last more than a week.
