Not sleeping.

I have the worse sleep schedule ever.

We raided earlier today. Got a few more things that would expire soon. I've actually spent all afternoon eating cream cheese. Is that gross?

Kaylen came up to me as we were storing the food earlier and she asked me if what we were doing was stealing.

How do I explain to my little sister that there is noone left to steal from?

This world isn't the place I ever wanted her to grow up in.

Of course, I didn't want anyone to grow up like this. I had plans. We all did.

Everyone had plans: college, marriage, cars to buy, places to see, people to talk to, kids to have. Now, now nothing is the same, will ever be the same.

What a world.

Stay safe.

015: New Fence.

Monday, October 27th, 2008.
Tech. Center.
Resting.

It's finally done.

We have reinforced the fences around the compound and blocked off the main entrance a little better. We can still get out, but it's a bitch to get in.

That's why I haven't writen in awhile. I've just been exhausted everyday.

It was worth it though. We have a little more security. Bless Home Depot.

I don't think there's much to catch up on.

Except maybe the fact that we now have a dog. Kind of silly.

We raided a nearby shopping plaza the other day and there was a pet store, with all the pets still inside. The poor things would starve.

We let the birds go. Let the cats and bunnies and weasles and most of the dogs go. The fish, we couldn't do much with them. But there was one dog, a black pug.

Now, Josh and I had been wanting a black pug for ages. Just a little puppy named Mitch Bonapart. We're weak. We couldn't just let him go. So, now we have plenty of dog food and toys to raid for too.

That was our good thing for the day, though. For the week, really, building the fence wasn't exactly a happy time.

In other news, my aim has improved drastically. I can now shoot a man in the head from 300 yards away.

...

...

...

I never thought I would ever have to say that. Much less brag about it.

Sometimes, when we all just stay here and play around and eat and relax I forget the reason why we're all here and we have to stay inside.

Hmm. I have second watch tonight, after Josh's Mom. I'd better get to bed.

Stay safe.

014; Insomnia.

Thursday, October 6th, 2008.
Tech. center.
Can't sleep.

I can't sleep, clearly. Maybe it's because today we almost relaxed. We didn't go on any raids, there wasn't any scouting, no moving, no killing. It was peaceful.

We raided the mall yesterday. Is it wrong to be happy that there was a Forever 21, and a Sears and all such? I had to get all sorts of clothes for everyone.

I found the boots I had been wanting at Sears. Silly of me.

But, really, I need something good everyday. Something normal, that I would have done in my ordinary life, or that would have made me happy even when not always on guard for attacks.

Who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll paint my nails.

I'm so tired. I can't sleep. I'm going to go. Josh has first watch tonight, I'll go keep him company till Izzy's dad takes over.

Stay safe.

013; Recap of the day.

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008.
Tech. center.
Relaxing.

So we raided the shopping plaza today. Just Josh, Izzy, and I. We didn't let anyone else come.

I don't think being scared even comes close to covering how I've felt these past days. It's a good thing I'm exhausted by the end of everyday or I'd never get any sleep.

We had to kill the school janitor when we first took over the old highschool, Mr. Gary came out of the bathrooms while we were checking out all the rooms. And then we found Izzy's older brother on the highway.

Antonio was never the best of drivers. Apparently he lost control, his car hit another then the zombies broke through his glass. Raquel recognized his car and went ahead to check (and we all had to rush after her). We found him already turned and unable to unbuckle the seat belt. Josh had to shoot him.

There were others we killed along the way, but we had to be careful, there wasn't much in the way of ammunition.

When we went out on the raid today we left all the adults armed and on watch while Raquel and Janine (henceforth known as Elmo) watched over Sammeh and Kaylen.

We took a jeep that had been left behind and filled it up when we were sure there was no one around the station. The town we're at was pretty unpopulated. There was the base, a mall, and a grocery store plaza. The homes were further out in the really suburban areas.

Anyways, Izzy drove, Josh kept a look out (armed) while sitting, and I stood in the back with a sniper rifle. Like I know how to use a fucking sniper. Really now.

Necessity does things though. I hit one of them on the third try. Practice will be needed. Or next time I'll just look out from the seat and Josh can do the sniper work.

We killed two on the way to the shopping plaza. Then three at the plaza. We loaded up on canned goods, water, and lots of cereal. We took lots of the sweets that would go bad if they weren't eaten soon. We still need sweets if we can get them.

I've decided that the next time we do a raid (hopefully tomorrow) we need to check out the mall. The mall is bound to have plenty of supplies and we'll need clothes.

Hopefully, since the attack first started at night, the mall would have been closed down. We may have to take care of some security guards but it should be relatively clear.

I'm going to bed now. I don't have watch tonight, I should get some sleep.

Stay safe.

012; Why am I writing this?

Sunday, October 12, 2008.
Somewhere safe, relatively.
Recapping.

I don't really know how to start this. I really don't know anything right now.

Okay, here's what I think I know.

• Zombies have, in fact, taken over.
• Mom, Dad, and Kaylen are all safe.
• Josh's Mom and Sammeh (the paranoid weiner dog) are all safe.
• Izzy's Mom and Dad, Raquel and Janine are all safe.
• Antonio did not survive.
• Everywhere we've been has been taken over.
• We are at an evacuated military base.
• It's colder here than in Florida.

I know I joked about using the umbrella as a weapon a while ago, but that umbrella was the only weapon I actually had. I wouldn't use the umbrella for a rainy day anymore.

I don't think I could really tell you everything that happened from the moment it became apparent what was happening. I do remember calling Josh, I remember calling home and telling them all to stay there, I remember taking the umbrella and the first aid kit and some other things that I haven't even looked at yet.

We found this base after a long while of driving and walking when we couldn't drive any longer. I won't say exactly where we are, it isn't safe.

It appears the place was evacuated when the invasion first started. We've searched every last part of the base that we can access and it all seems clean and clear. The entire facillity is fenced off but we still keep a watch.

We're staying in the main compound. We have a bunker, a mess hall, a rec room, and a room where we've set up all the weaponry. And we have a tech. center. This is the first time I've been able to get here. I'm so happy there's internet.

I need at least one dose of normalcy everyday.

I need to go now. I hear mom calling for dinner.

Tomorrow we're going on a raid of the nearby shopping plaza.

Stay safe.

-00Ballistic

011; Stay safe.

I don't have much time. I just found a computer with internet access.

Obviously you've learned that it's finally happened. Be safe. Stay away from crowded places. Urban areas are the worst. Try not to drive.

I don't know who would even be reading this.

In any case, I have to go. We're heading out tomorrow at first light. I have the late watch tonight.

I don't know where we're going. We just can't stay at the old highschool.

Be safe.

010; I've been busy.

Sunday, September 28th, 2008.
Home base.
Watching football.

I went to my first funeral yesterday. Drove all the way to Tallahassee and back in one day. My mom and aunt in one car for five hours is kind of silly.

I've been pretty busy, though.

Tonight, after I finish doing my laundry, I'm going to go play Force Unleashed with Izzy and Josh. Can't wait.

I also have to take a shower.

I'm actually watching the Gilmore Girls right now, so it will have to wait.

-00Ballistic

009; Phone call.

Thursday, September 25th, 2008.
In the living room.
Nothing.

Jedi-grandma called me a little while ago. Apparently my uncle Ricardo died this morning. No one knows how or why.

It just now hit me.

-00Ballistic

008; Umbrella?

Thursday, September 25, 2008.
Outside the 00HQ.
Waiting.

So, apparently, I've sharpened my rather large umbrella. It's a St. Petersburg Time's umbrella with comics on it. It has a huge metal tip (not really good for thunderstorms and lightning, but pretty hot for zombie impalling).

The boy just dropped me off, and, in his words "I'll wait till you get inside, you know, just in case of zombies."

Sometimes I wonder if he's making fun of me. Oh well.

Izzy and I will protect him and everyone else in the end, so whatever. He'll thank me in the end. :)

Holy shit! I just looked up internships for the New York times. HOLY SHIT.

An editing internship pays $924 a week. And accomodations are only about $250 a week. SCORE!

It's really hard to get it. No worries. It's my new goal. I can do this.

You know, if zombies don't destroy everything first. :(

007; News.

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008.
In class.
Half listening.

I'm in Religion right now but I had to take a moment out to write this. I was looking through world news, just for kicks and giggles (lulz), and found something interesting.

I'll try and find the article again but apparently a body went missing somewhere in Malaysia.

The body was set to be autopsied, having died out of nowhere for no apparent reason, but when the mortician returned the body was gone. If that doesn't scream zombie, nothing does.

Except, of course, all the people when they finally attack. I'm on to them.

I'll have to call Izzy.

-00Ballstic.

006; Back.

Monday, September 22, 2008.
Atop the 00 HQ.
Catching up.

Sorry. Haven't had internet for a few days. I spent time in Orlando.

Lots of things happened. I went to Believe, hung out with everyone, played Risk, won Risk, trolled wrestlers, got macked on by an extremely drunk fellow, and was added to an exclusive message board. Busy busy.

I really need to clean this room. Shame on me.

But I really need to read this Nothing Human by Nancy Kress by Wednesday. Urg.

I should be getting to that right now, actually.

Okay, peace.

-00Ballistic

005; Primping out.

Thursday, September 18th, 2008.
My room.
Primping.

I got in the mood to be girly again *hangs self*. It's okay. The Cardigans make even girly moods okay.

I need to tidy up this room, e-mail my homework, and pack up for Believe tomorrow.

Josh is coming tonight. I can finally get sustenance in this dorm. And a pot pie. I really want a pot pie.

Now if only Walmart supplied crowbars. One of the handiest weapons for zombie survival. This zombie thing has gotten out of hand. It all started out as a joke.

Izzy had the Zombie Survival Guide and we always joked about how he would get scared reading it. Then with just one trip to Applebee's, and I don't even remember why this all happened, the zombie bug hit me.

With a growing fear and Josh and Izzy's growing fascination with zombie movies this all blew out of proportion.

Josh was a goner. With both Izzy and I on the zombie track, he was bound to catch the fear bug.

Now, when we go to a restaurant or anything Izzy and I scope out the place for potential weapons and safe spots. It's a little silly, but necessary.

The day will come. I like to pretend it won't, but we all know. Goddamn zombies.

-00Ballistic

004; Being productive.

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008.
Outside the 00 HQ.
Taking a break.

I'm actually doing homework. Yes!

Josh interrupted me just now with a phone call, but I'm almost done, so that's cool.

I just realized that I need to read a book by next Wednesday. Nothing Human, by Nancy Kress, she's coming to my Mass Comm. class. I missed today's speaker, Jane Healy. >:(

I'm sitting just outside the HQ and I opened my blinds for the first time. I usually just have my curtains over it and turn on my light. Clearly I am retarded as I chose to open the blinds as the sun is setting and very little light is actually coming through.

I have so many books to read. I really just want to read the zombie survival guide. We must prepare ourselves for the inevitable.

I have so many things to read and watch and I haven't had to the time because I've been procrastinating on the internate. For shame.

Really now.

My Joker poster looks like it's going to come down. I have to fix that.

I made the horrible mistake of looking at decor blogs. Now I'm just like :( I want money and an apartment to decorate. Damn dorm room. Damn Bank of America, who is not giving me my money.

When the zombies attack, they should be the first to go.

Okay, back to being productive.

Peace.

-00Ballistic

003; I should be sleeping.

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008.
Above the 00 HQ.
Not sleeping.

Yeah, I should be sleeping. But I'm not. I'm on the phone with Josh. I'm catching up on my Zombie survival guide.

Why the fuck am I not sleeping?

I have class tomorrow at 8:35. Urgh. I should be sleeping. Not cool. Not cool.

Fuck zombies.

Oh, and Josh is on the phone telling me facts about Tom Green and Freddy Got Fingered. Excuse me while I take a shotgun to the head.

Squish.

-00Ballistic

002; I've got some beef with this.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008.
Just outside the 00 HQ.
Procrastinating.

Okay, I get it, The Dark Knight was fucking awesome. I know, I was there at midnight trying not to shoot the people in front of me going "OMGNOWAIII!!HARVEYDENTISABADGUY!??!?!".

Yeah. I have a Joker poster on my wall, opposite the Marvel poster.

The Dark Knight was fucking awesome. But, shut the fuck up.

There were others movies this summer. And they were good too. The Dark Knight may have been the best one, but it wasn't the only one.

I'm tired of hearing people go on about how great a movie it was and completely forget every other film out in theatres.

Iron Man was fucking cool too. Get Smart, Stepbrothers, and Tropic Thunder were all pretty damn funny. I've also been told by a reputable source (who went to see the movie without me) that Pineapple Express was hilarious.

There were a bunch of movies out and everyone's pretending like they didn't exist.

I know that there are at least a few people out there who, when asked what their favorite movie was this summer, just say The Dark Knight because they know no one will contest it. Not everyone thought it was the hottest movie of all time.

It's just not possible. In fact, I know two who thought it was just simply too long. They are, however, the only two who would say anything against the movie.

I love Batman, and I certainly love this new Batman (makes me forget Batman and Robin ever happened), but give credit where credit is due.

Okay, done now. Time to actually do the homework.

-00Ballistic

001; And here we go.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008.
Deep inside 00 HQ.
Avoiding homework.

Alright, let's get rolling.

This is the introductory post, I guess.

Here's the deal.

• I'm a chick.
• I'm a college student.
• I'm broke (big surprise).
• The 00 HQ is actually a fort under my dorm bed.
• The 00 HQ needs more to it.
• The 00 HQ is meant to be a zombie prevention bunker.
• I can be mean.
• I don't like most people.
• I curse, alot.
• I'm going to write about some rather random shit sometimes.
• Nine times out of ten I'll be procrastinating something.
• That other one time, I'm really proud.

And that's really all for now. We'll set up a steady relationship later. I really need to do that homework now.

Peace.
