I think I'm a wreck

windandwaterI guess this is where I am supposed to be happy about the rising amount of gangs and gang violence in Mo Val.
Saw one of neighbors through and window and opened mine to wave at him. We managed a short conversation about what was going on, and I found out that they have a number of handguns in the house. I just said something along the lines of "cool" and told him that headshots would be the only thing to take a zombie down. He didn't seem to be happy about that, but then I held up my sword and said he could cut the heads off instead. He said he and his sons would stick to shooting. And he managed to give me some pointers with the gun we have here. I sorta hung it out the window, and he talked me through loading it and the safety and stuff. This makes me happier. Especially now that the sun is going down.
I've decided for the sake of my own sanity, to be as calm as possible. I've set the alarm for the house, and the motion detector light. I am not going to worry about anything unless the house alarm goes off. Or the power. The power station is about a mile a way, so if we lose power, I know the shit's coming close and about to hit the fan. I also filled up all the sinks and my tub and the downstairs tub with water. Even managed to eat some leftovers and stuff while I was making molotov cocktails in empty Snapple and juice bottles. I hope my dad doesn't get angry that I raided the liqour cabinet for them. And I was right, btw. Dad was on his way to the casino and picked up mom. I managed to talk to them on the cellphone. Morongo shut down tight after they got there and no one's allowed in or out. At least things are pretty safe for them. Aoi-chan managed to get the baby from daycare. She said things were nearly empty on the streets except for the frantic parents getting their kids. I dunno what her plans are now.
Some of the tv stations have cut out and some haven't and I managed to watch the news on CNN. There's rioting in LA. Or at least there's stuff on fire. No looters though, which means some people have common sense. But this is just... it's almost too much. The sucky part of being in suburbia is all this waiting. And I'm reading through my zombie survival guide book that I got as a gag... during Christmas? My last birthday? I DIDN'T THINK I'D ACTUALLY NEED IT.
You know, during lunch after Pet's graduation, we were joking about how I'd be the first one to die during an apocalypse because of my strange eating habits/fast metabolism.
I really hope that's not the case right now.
And there goes the sun. The street lights are turning on now.
