“Guy's what the hell is going on? We're hearing all sorts of weird news stories, we don't have outside internet access something is cut our outside internet lines. We've got internet because we've got internal service but I don't know what the hell is going on. And now there are all these alarms going off all over the place in the building over at the airport all over the place in the city we can hear like sirens and like weird pops and bangs. What the hell is going on? Somebody needs to give me a call or something because I don't know what's going on. Some people are saying, ___ people are saying that this shit is feared I don't know what's happening Mike's out here with me, Mike's ok right now I don't know about any of the rest of you because I've been able to get online at all in any capacity since probably a little bit before noon.

“Hey guys, not doing much of anything. Standing outside having a break because our internet is fucking up at work and not likely to get online ___ anyway. I'm standing out here with Shannon who's very ___. That is my coworker Shannon who sits behind me. She's, she's a very lovely little lady and yeah apparently I didn't know I was talking with the server guy or IT person Mike earlier with ___ Stan Mike's in his office and he, yeah it was weird. He said something about like something chewing on the wires and that it smelled really bad in server room and he didn't wanna go back in there. I think the raccoon might have like up and died in our server room somehow. Yeah, I don't know, we don't really have pests here so it had to be something like that cause of the woods outside. Yeah we have a lot of woods around our office. It's really nice, we should get a picnic table or something sometime but I don't think the landlord will do that because those douche bags or something like that but yeah, just, just drop it in, never that I had rediscovered(?) the joys really posting and yeah, I'll catch you cats later.

Because I am an arse

I don't feel like just editing my last post. 

Today is Friday the 13th woooooo.  I wonder what will happen today, anything interesting, perhaps?


Of course, last time I ventured to wonder that, in all seriousness, the whole 9/11 thing happened and... yah.  Trufax.  I think I'm like that guy in Surf Ninjas - if I say "what if _________"  then it happens.  Please tell me someone gets the reference...

At any rate, today just got a little more interesting.

I feel like a zombie

Shuffling around, groaning randomly, a dead look in my eye... eyes, I guess, I do have two of them >_<


My own damn fault though.  I went to the gym for way too long (my poor muscles) and then stayed up till gods only know how long watching Season 3 of LOST and maybe finishing up someone's Doctor Who scarf.  I really need to find my LOST Season 2, I want me some Henry Gale, plus Monica is wanting to catch up with the series before it all ends.  *mental note*  But hay, I now have 13 feet of timey-wimey goodness (or will, till I deliver it to its owner!)

Thank god today is Friday though, I can wear comfy clothes to work and generally have a good time of it. 

Oh.  Work.  Let me tell you.  Not that many will understand, but whatever.  Was talking with a mate of mine who works in Service this morning and he's going on about how stressed he is (worked the night shift, poor bugger) because they got a record number of calls in last night from stores all over the country with false alarm readings.  He was saying something about a couple thousand motions all seeming to go bad in the space of one night.  THey'd get the call that a motion was going off in a building (lots of distribution centres actually) or that a door contact was reading open.  If they couldn't get hold of a night shift manager (none of who seemed to be answering) of course they dispatch the local PD.  He started to go on about something regarding local police in some mid-western town, but then had to go because I guess they were getting another deluge of calls?  He sounded a bit weirded out, apparently something to do with the police calls or something. 

So... yeah this looks like an iiiiiinteresting day.  At least I don't have to go home for lunch, so I can get my hours in easily and then leave at a decent hour.  Huzzah.  Of course, that means being stuck in the building all day, but tis a small sacrifice to make. 

I rediscovered the voice post number, maybe me and Shannon and Desiree or some people can make a voice post at some point in the future.  My coworkers are HILARIOUS.

Now that Zombie Day is finally over...

Damn, but that was fun!  I think the NOVA gang did a bang up job, we managed to get quite a few "outside" hits!  Not that that was the point of the game, but it was awesome to go onto Technorati and see people I don't even know linking to posts :D

Speaking of which - To everyone who popped by my journal yesterday, ESPECIALLY everyone who commented on the first video post with praise and such - THANK YOU!  Credit for that goes to [info]inner_salvation who was my cohort in writing/taping that bit and who also was the supplier and teacher of zombie makeup ways.  Further thanks goes to [info]babylonthegreat [info]taraione, Kris' brothers David (the biting zombie) and Jon (unfortunate victim), my sister Monica and Kris' friend Chris for coming out early on a Saturday morning to get covered in face paint and Elmer's glue.  And the Karo blood and the peanutbutter/paint gore!  Couldn't have done it without ya!

If any of you visitors to my journal care to stick around, please do!  I'm always on the lookout for new friends, especially cool people the likes of which participate in Blog Like It's the End of the World Day :D  So if you're still keeping an eye on this journal, don't hesitate to drop me a line!


For those of you who may have been watching from the sidelines ([info]star54kar :D) I'm putting together a little bit of a timeline of yesterday's events in the Northern VA area
A Tale of Horror )

Gee... a little tweaking and this could make for one fecking awesome movie!  I had fun, guys!  Let's do it again sometime?

Take that Zombie FUCKS

AAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD

We're in! 

What a fucking ridiculous ride that was!  Fuck!  So Tini is back in, we're taking care of her.  No one has been bit.  She lost her poor bunny, last we saw it it was going all Bunnicula on some helpless pit bull.  But we found her boyfriend, also free of Zombites. 

I need a brain rest.  My brain feels like an effing tastee cone.  I don't even know what the fuck that means. 

Seriously people it is even worse now than it was.  Zombies fucking EVERYWHERE.  We might have even seen zombies fucking and I thought that only happened in New Zeland.  Eff!

Kris was such a fucking master and shot a bunch of them all to shit as we blasted into the garage.  My van is DRIPPING and smells like ten thousand asses.  But we're safe and we're in.  We're so in

Zombies zombies zombies zombies


But seriously, I can't believe so many people have gotten bit.  This is the worst fucking thing that could ever happen ever.  [info]taraione and her husband [info]babylonthegreat were both attacked in separate incidents, at home and work respectively.  Tara was the one Kris and I were gonna try to "rescue" (?) before all the killing started out front.  Another friend of ours, [info]tiepilot who works with Fred (babylonthegreat) was attacked at work earlier this morning.  He was the one who infected Fred.  I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry guys.  I'm sorry we couldn't do anything.  Fred, you asked, we tried.  Tara, we were this close.  James... if I can find them, I shall covet and protect your Coupling DVDs.  Not that any of you are likely to be reading this, or able to comprehend it if you are. 

I swear to piss I'm never leaving the house again.  There's still a ton of them out there.  We're just hoping that the government or national defence or something comes by soon to get survivors out.  If there's any sort of National Security monitoring this, and gods I never thought I'd say anything like this but, Hi, we've got four survivors COMPLETELY UNINFECTED in this house.  Two women and a man, early/mid 20s and a year old infant.  One woman is pregnant (5 months).  Please send help. 

I've stopped looking at news reports online.  Can anyone Out There bring me up to date on where things stand?  Is anyone anywhere doing anything? 

What's that thing that soldiers get after fighting in the Iraq war?  Traumatic Stress something?  Yeah I think I got that.  And I can't stop staring at Jon out on the back deck.  There's nothing else we can do.  He's one of Them now.  He's only 15.  That's not right.  Not right.  I haven't been in touch with any of my family today.  I don't even know if I have a family any more.  I don't even know if we're gonna make it through this. 

Biiiig sanity check.  Yeah.  I think I've dropped multiple san levels in just the past ten hours alone.  heh.  I know he's not real, but now I know how Ash feels.  I'd totally cut off a limb now and attatch a piece of machinery to it.  OMG maybe I can get bit on the leg and we can go get Izzy's rifle out of storage and I can attatch it to my severed limb like Rose Magowan in Grindhouse.  I would be so awesome.  Legless, but awesome.  heh.

We're rolling out to get Tini.  Or I am even if Kris doesn't come.  Whatever, I can fucking take it.  And if they get me, at least I went out fighting.  Hell yeah.  Fuck my mom's car, it's a fucking tank and it can take it.  Toyota quality all the way, baby!  Listening out back, it doesn't sound like anyone's on the parkway bypass.  I always wanted to race down that sweet stretch of pretty road doing 90.  Tini, I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Zombies make me sick

Just cleaning Jon's wound.  It smells like THEM and I can't do this any more. 

Sancheck red please.  I'm gonna lose it.  I think I'm gonna soak my hands in rubbing alcohol and then go sit with Izzy and Aeris.  I need some baby holding time to un-mess my brain.  I also think I may be sick.  That thing in the video earlier?  That we thought was an arm?  That WAS an arm?  They're just leaving body parts strewn about the street now and moving on to the next house.

I gotta go.

Zombie Help please

Some of Them are trying to break into Kris' house.  We've got the windows all boarded up (or are getting them boarded up) on the main floor and in the basement.  We've also got heavy furniture pushed against all the main floor doors.  Laundry room is locked, garage door barracaded. Check. 

I'm really worried.  It looks like they've already gotten into a few more houses around the neighborhood.  And Kris says that out back he saw one take down a stray dog.  I don't like this one bit. 

Jon has kinda fallen into unconsciousness.  He's all sweaty and pasty and pale as fuck.  He was hungry earlier and so we gave him some leftover hotdogs from last night, he ate them real fast but it didn't help.  Now he's like this.  I dunno whether we should cover him with a blanket or leave him cool.  And the blood is still oozing from the wound. 

Some more of my friends have been injured today apparently, despite that they're not taking any of this seriously.  I still don't understand how I'm logically accepting all this.  Because this seriously shouldn't be allowed.  This is just too fucking surreal. 

We can hear gunshots echoing from all around the city and there's all kinds of helicopters and other aircraft flying all around.  I don't know what's going on.  Local news still not working. 

EDIT: as of 12:45.  We've just been placed under a state of emergency.  Apparently Bush gave a news conference or something.  Or Condi Rice or something.  Bush and Cheney have been moved to "undisclosed secure locations".  Tony Blair has apparently done the same thing in the UK.  Ireland looks to be following suit.

Am I missing something?  Has there been some sort of biological terrorist attack?  Because I am hella worried here.  Izzy wants us to put on some kind of masks, the sort of sterile things.  Apparently David had brought some home from ATCC a while back?  Thye're still packaged, so they're probably good.  I dunno, I'll hold off, I don't think it is airborn.  If Jon is any indication, it is transmitted via contact with fluids or something.  I wish I could get in touch with my mum, because she'd probably know a lot about this, working for that biotech firm and all.  Which kinda makes me think, given the accident there yesterday and now she's in this conference at their main office?  I just don't know.

No not zombies

I just realised how stupid this must all sound.  But I've been looking around online and apparently other people are throwing the Z word around as well.  There's reports of similar shit like this going down as far as Australia.  Which is ridiculous.  There's no way this can be global. 

We hought for a bit that maybe this had something to do with ATCC and the accident that happened there yesterday.  Kris' brother David and my mum both work there.  David gave us a few details, but my mum said that she wasn't allowed to say too much about it.  She's a bit higher up than David (ok a lot higher up) so I'm guessing this runs a bit deeper than David knows.  Not cool. 

But the reports are weird, online at least, we can't get any local or anything news stations.  Just static mostly with an occasional image or blip of sound.  Apparently people are looting at the Mall of America in Minnesota?  I don't have the patience to link you stuff right now, maybe Kris can do that later. 

Jon isn't doing well.  He's looking all pasty and the bite is not in a good way.  Fuck.  Poor Izzy is staying upstairs with Aeris till things calm down, she doesn't want to make her resiratory infection worse with potential nastiness from Jon.  We can see them walking around outside, one is trying to break into the SAylors' garden shed.  Stupid. ... the neighbors we can see are boarding up windows.  Maybe we should?

I'm a bit worried, as what if these things, like in the stupid movies, try to get inside or anything?  I mean, what do we do?  Can these things be fought?  They seem slow enough, I guess.  Shouldn't be too hard.  But do you need silver bullets or anything specialised like that?  If so, we're fucked, we don't even have a gun. 

Chainsaw? 

Gonna go... well not out on the deck, that Jon Biter might smell me or something, it probably finished that arm by now.  *vomits*  I feel so bad for whoever that was, god I can't even... gonna try to fix the TV with Kris. See if that helps

ZOMBIES GET IN THE FUCKING HOUSE

oh fuck oh my god really very much NOT A FUCKING COW. shit shit shit shit.  Anyone who reads this please PLEASE do me a favour and STAY IN YOUR HOUSE.  oh fuck oh shit. 

OK the beginning.  So Kris and I go around the back of his house to look for the cow, right?  Well we didn't find the cow.  There wasn't a cow at all.  And I am so glad I had my camera because words cannot fucking describe.  Uhm... Damn.  All those times I wanted to live this movie or that movie or some rpg scenario... gods, this is not what I asked for.  And then Kris' little brother Jon got attacked.  Now I know that I'm probably going to get a lot of people on my case for taping this thing but seriously, I just didn't turn the camera off.  I should have but I didn't.  I think it is also good for people to see - horrible as it is - because this could save someone else's life.  I feel so awful.  But we got him away, so it is fine.  I hope.  Please just look. 



Hopefully he's ok.  The bite looks pretty nasty, he got wounded on the inside of his leg.  We've cleaned it as best we can and we're trying to keep it wrapped.  We're also making him lie down, keep it elevated.  I dunno what else to do.  Kris called their family doctor, but the line was jammed. We might call 9-1-1 later if it gets worse.  God I hope this isn't happening anywhere else. 

Also, these things fucking smell.  But they're fairly slow?  so staying away from it isn't that bad. I almost retched.  *shudder*  And yeah, that was an ARM a severed fucking ARM that thing was handling in the video.  I just hope it doesn't come up the deck.  Looks like I'm staying at Casa Saylor for the day...

More awake now, zombie

Maaaan wtf so Kris and I got plastered last night with Izzy (who was obviously not drunk) and Kris's brothers and we played so much Serenity.  Pics might or might not have come out.  We had blasters.

Ennywho, posting because we think there's a FUCKING COW behind Kris' house.  OK, not a cow that is fucking , but an effing COW, man!  XD  Sorry, maybe rums still?  Yeah, we're on the deck, me and Kris (Izzy and the wee one are still in bed) eating French toasts that Kris delightfully made watching what we think is this cow.  Weird shit. 

Oh apparently Kris has decided he wants to tip it (??)  so we are taking my camcorder down to "document" this "momentous" occasion. 

Win.

Let me get back to zombie fucking sleep asswipes

Got woken up by a stupid cop car (cop cars?) going about the neighbourhood, doing that little BWOOP thing every now and again.  I think that means patrolling?  Then they (it - I dunno, I just fucking woke up) screeched around, turned on the sirens and went off in the direction of the industrial park (Micron, that other place and ATCC)

There was some weird accident or something at mom's work yesterday (ATCC, that bioresearch firm) which she had to go into the main office for today.  Blargh.  Hope nothing stupid is going on.   I'm gonna try to get back to bed now.  At least now it is very very quiet outside
