theyre dead

sun is setting

it wasn't the neighbors oh my god it wasn't the neighbors or it might be now but oh god there's like they're dead and they're still moving and that wasn't paint on the grass it was blood oh god what the hell is going on i can't believe this is realyy happening i don't know what to do about

I was rudely awoken this morning.

The neighbor's stupid yappy dogs were making SUCH a racket really early, barking their little heads off. Then they started whining and yelping and it sounded like someone was beating them or something. Or maybe kicked them. Little rat dogs. x__X;;

I rolled over and went back to sleep once they stopped.


EDIT....

Why is the neighbor's yard covered in red paint? I hope it's not those kids who TP houses again.

In case anyone didn't get it, or somehow missed the link I put in every post yesterday, everything that happened yesterday was fictional and part of Blog Like It's The End Of The World. What can I say, I'm a sucker for zombie apocalypses. Plus, it was totally fun. I tried to be realistic with my responses and situation (yes yes the Zombie Survival Guide says being in the desert is good, since it quickens the decay of zombies), plus I liked the paranoia/dawning horror of having to wait for everything to get to you instead of just being thrown into the fray.

Aah, suburbia.

Yesterday was actually spent at Aoi-chan's house, where I was mostly playing Trickster all afternoon. The same will happen today, because we just got a new announcement from the GMs that if we drill up 2 million boxes by midnight on Friday, we'll get an additional 1 million boxes added on. That will get us through stages 3, 4, and 5 and put is in sight of stage 6! AND STAGE 6 IS THE POPPURI PET AND I WANT IT SO BAD.

I MUST DRILL.

Also wanna try and see if I can catch Moff online and game with her alittle, since she can finally play! ♥

But first to do a few chores around the house before I actually go to rape Aoi-chan's internets again.

I 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.

Have managed to lock and block off any possible entry points downstairs. I guess this is where I have enough time to go back to the beginning of this horribly shitty day. The wireless is bitchy but okay when it's not. We still have water and power, thank god.

Woke up this morning when the power went off around noon. I was about to get up anyway, but then my cellphone beeped at me (it beeps when it's unplugged and I'd been charging it overnight), and the house security system gave that warning beep that says the main electricty was cut off (thank god for backup power supplies). It came back after only a few minutes, so I figured it was just a brief power surge or something because it was so hot and now people are turning on their air conditioners. Plus, they were fixing our power lines last week. I didn't think much of it.

Since it was about 12:30pm by the time I got up (slept in a bit late), I didn't check my email and stuff like I normally do in the morning, and just got dressed and ready to go to the Library. With this weather, the coldness of the library would be A-OK with me. I got in the SUV and headed on my way, and nothing was wrong in Mo Val.

Now, see... I have this thing where I don't like driving on freeways if I don't have to. I'll take side streets and stuff just to stay off the freeway, since sometimes that's faster than going through traffic. Oh god, was I lucky today. I saw the 215 was backed up for some reason (I hate the construction they're doing), so I took the streets to Riverside instead. Did I mention that I get to drive past the Arlington cemetary? Yeah. The street was pretty empty and I didn't think much of it (too busy drinking my soda) and I was stopped at a red light when, jesus, I looked up and noticed a bunch of cars were stopped up ahead, past the next light. I didn't know why. I craned my head to look, and then I saw a bunch of people running out of their cars. I didn't know what the hell was going on until I saw someone get taken down. And then there were more people, moving kinda slow, and I thought: "Why are they all scuzzy? I hope they're not homeless people trying to wash my windshield."

They surrounded the SUV before I realized what was going on. It was like... surreal even thinking about it now. And I'm thanking GOD that today was so hot, because I had the air conditoner on in the car, instead of driving with the windows rolled down like I usually do on the streets. They were banging on the glass and... and I think I started screaming and the light was still red. But then I just... I just gunned the engine and drove right through them. Flipped a bitch when I was clear, drove through what was left, and sped all the way back home. Oh god I'm shaking remembering it. It was like... thuds. Like hitting those speed bumps. I guess I wasn't wrong when I said yesterday that the SUV could crush anything in its path without stopping.

I got home and the neighbors were still doing their construction thing next door. I remember that I started screaming at them, trying to explain what had happened. They didn't believe me until one of the construction guys noticed I had... I guess it was an arm stuck to my front bumper. I knocked it off with some wood, and the construction guys freaked.

I've locked everything down since then. It's so freaking hot. I tried calling my parents. Daddy didn't pick up his cellphone (he can't hear it ring half the time), but I told mom what was going on. She can't get home without using the freeways, and I told her to stay the fuck off of those since they're blocked. She works at a mental health facility. She told me the crazy people were even crazier today and they had to lock the ward doors. I told her if she makes it home, not to open the gate. I said I'd watch and let her in, since I'm not risking opening the garage unless it's clear.

One good thing about Mo Val... we're a desert. And it's really hot today. I don't think the zombies (is that what they are?) like the oppressive heat. Thank god the only cemetary around is Arlington. But there's two hospitals nearby.

Wait, I think someone's driving up. I better see if it's my mom.

I've pulled my swords out from under my bed. And my baseball bat is sturdy.
