Zombie Lover

I am not the kind of girl who you'd meet and think "Zombie Lover". You'd probably think that I'm the kind of girl who hides her face when watching gory movies, the kind of girl who clutches to the arm of the nearest guy she's watching the movie with, the girly girl.

That's what you get for having preconceived notions about me. I love zombie movies. Seriously. I've seen just about every zombie movie that's come out in the past 10 years. The thing that I love is that there is always a touch of humor in zombie movies...much more so than in your normal slasher flicks. Of course, maybe the humor I find is a bit twisted but you have to admit there is something just a little bit funny about a running over a zombie in your hummer. Twisted, I know. But I'm also the girl who thinks that people falling down is the funniest damn thing she's ever seen. I'm going to be the mom who, when her kids fall down, is going to laugh first and ask if they're okay second. But I digress...

Another thing you may not know is that I routinely have dreams with zombies. They aren't nightmares. I can always outrun the zombies and it's always an enjoyable adrenaline rush to try to get away. While I was on my trip to New Orleans, I had an interesting dream. It was your typical zombie dream. They're coming to get you. You can't quite shake them. Then just as you think the gig is up, you come out on top. The weird thing about this dream was the way in which we came out on top. We had run until we couldn't run anymore. We had no more weapons to fight them off with. We had to stand and fight. Want to know how we fought?

With love.

I'm totally serious. We hugged the zombies. And the zombies went away. They were just misunderstood! All they wanted the whole time was for someone to hold them and tell them it was all going to be alright! It was like a receiving line (a little wedding reference, look it up). A zombie-hugging receiving line.

Me and my sick little brain. You had no idea, did you? Just because I'm this nice little blonde, don't be fooled. It's all a facade...
