my zombie survival guide

last night eric called me from his rounds at the hospital and told me that people were coming in with weird injuries...like BITE MARKS. i told him he had to get the hell out of there. he promised me he would leave as soon as he could and then the landlines went down. he broke his cell phone last week (or i guess charlie broke it technically) and i haven't been in contact with him since 9 pm last night.

the reports are getting crazier and crazier and i stocked up on supplies like bottled water and dehydrated foods and i also bought a gun. they were practically giving them away as news of the "riots" have spread throughout most of the northern states.

i woke up this morning and heard a lot of screaming from outside. the roads are a mess and abandoned cars are all over the streets and the sidewalks. jenn got here an hour ago and we've been hiding out in my apartment and watching news reports. the chicago stations are out, but thankfully i have cable.

the plan is to hide out here for as long as we can. i have enough food and stuff to last a while, and the power is still on. i'm also gonna keep trying to reach eric. i'm so worried something has happened to him.

if anyone is reading this, stay safe! lock yourselves up somewhere and try to find a weapon. i'm afraid this is going to get worse before it gets better. i'll post again tonight or tomorrow.

well you probably don't need my blog thing to tell you--it's all over the news. new york lost all power. there were a lot of scary broadcasts coming out of there and then suddenly everything kinda cut out. i've been watching this stuff totally nonstop so i saw it happen on their live news feed or whatever. one second the lady was reporting from times square, and the next she was totally screaming and running...camera guy too. everyone was running and screaming and then it looked like something attacked the camera guy from behind and he went down. then the picture went to static.

i'm documenting it for posterity or whatever because the news people are totally ignoring it. they aren't replaying the footage and they really aren't talking about it. but i know what i saw. i don't eric believes me. he's still skeptical about this whole thing--but C'MON. i guess it's denial.

i have some supplies. but who know how long i'm gonna have to wait this out?

i got a hold of eric. he thinks i'm being silly but he did agree to come over tonight and take me to target to get supplies that we might need should zombies reach chicago.

zombies in chicago. i can't believe i just typed that and was completely serious. i'm scared. if they reach here, it'll be chaos. so many people live here and i don't think a lot of them would know what's going on. everyone's going to freak the hell out and only make things worse. i have to make sure at least charlie, eric, and me can make it through this alive.

i need a gun.

so yeah, i'm watching the news and the rioting is nearly twice the size it was yesterday. one station was talking about how the government is thinking about going in to try and control it. i'm convinced its zombies. according to the survival guide, we are in a class three outbreak.

this is totally fucked up. why am i sitting here typing this? i should be out stocking up supplies and shit for samson and me. what about eric and jen? and my family? there's no time to get to all of the them. why didn't we ever seriously plan for something like this?

oh shit, i have to get a hold of eric, he's at the hospital on rounds. anything infected will be taken to the hospital before anywhere else.

ok, i was joking before with the whole zombie pigs thing, but i'm starting to think something might be going on. the rioting has continued and is spreading to southern canada and even parts of america now. this totally straight up out of my book. the news claims its all because of union strikes, but come on.

i asked eric if he thinks something weird is going on and he said there's no way it could be a union strike, because its crossed into america and there's different unions. he's so smart, i never would have thought of that.

i'm gonna go back to watching the news now. i'll post more later.

ok, so it's been a little while since i posted. things have kinda been back to normal. with eric and everything. so yeah.

i was watching the news with samson yesterday and there was this story about a canadian pig farmer and all his pigs are dying mysteriously. i guess it has a lot of local townspeople upset and rioting. your all like, why am i posting this? well i've finished reading my handy zombie surival guide and it warns you too look in the news for weird stories that could be coverups. and i totally think that this guy's canadian pigs were attacked by zombies. how cool is that? haha just kidding!

jenn is waiting for me because we're going to buy jenn a new microwave. hers exploded, literally. target is totally my favorite store ever. they have everything! then maybe eric will come over for some pizza and a movie. he told me i could pick but he's gonna regret it cause i'm thinking total chic flick.

later!

so yeah, eric came to the bar tonight. he gave me flowers and apologized and i told him i didn't want to talk about it at work but he wouldn't leave. he'd follow me to my tables and start talking to my customers about how he was an idiot. finally my boss said "just talk to him already" and sent me outside.

So we did a lot of talking and he said he will wait as long as it takes for me to be sure about us. I told him that I still need some time. I love him and everything, and I know he loves me to, but this was sort of an eye opening thing, you know? Like, is this the sort of thing he'd do again if he was angry?

so i just got home. i was supposed to be staying the night at eric's but seeing as we're on a break, i guess that's not happening. ok, your probably all like what the hell!

eric picked me up and we had our date. i knew something was off because he was all quiet and stuff and i kept asking what was going on but he didn't say anything. we drive to the lake and he's got this whole picnic thing set up for us, right there on the beach. the sun was setting and everything just looked perfect. after dinner he pulled this ginormous diamond ring out of his pocket and gets on a knee and asks me to marry him!! so yeah, i had no idea what to say. do i love eric? of course! do i want to get engaged right now? i told him i wasn't sure.

well eric got angry because i didn't know. he said that this is something he's sure about because he loves me and if i really loved him than i'd be sure to and then i started crying. this is all just happening so fast! i mean we've only known each other for a year. i told him i needed a little time to think about it and he said why don't we just take a break.

god! i just wanted to think about some stuff. talk to my mom. and now he's ending it? does that make sense???
