[Ecrofirt]

When I wake up every morning, I half-hope that there's been a zombie outbreak somewhere, and that it'll be all over the news.

I also think about it late ay night when the lights are out and I'm alone with my thought. I like to entertain the idea of a zombie busting through the window or pounding at the door.

Odd, I know.

Anyone ever think about something odd like that all the time? Doesn't have to be as crazy as my zombie obsession; anything will do.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Everytime I fall asleep I think about someone standing over me about to fire a gun over my face and I stop the bullet like Neo.

what?

 

[Coin Return]

My friend and I have deep discussions about the exact same subject. We read the zombie survival guide, and out imaginations got a little out of hand. It would be awesome though.

 

[Ecrofirt]

My friend and I are always talking about zombie stuff, too. Yea, we're fucked up.

I still want to make a zombie flick. It will be done, damnit!

Not every morning but sometimes I wake up and think about what I would do if the Apocalypse came and the beasts that are supposed to come by land, sea and air and cause destruction and chaos unto the world, were tearing shit up in my hometown.

Not related but one time when my girlfriend and I were driving through a pay toll bridge that you can see the ocean from I just broke the silence out of nowhere and said:

"You know, something's gonna rise up from that sea. Not now, maybe later. Yep"

And she got spooked to hell.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Crap, Ecrofirt, I was thinking zombies before the page even loaded. Coin Return too? Fairly frequently I'll find myself in a place and be like "OK, if the dead begin to walk the earth, where would be the safest place to hole up?" Have to consider if the windows can be boarded in, or if the stairs can be destroyed; things like that. It's just such an open-ended and weirdass thought exercise.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I go through the same stuff all the time.

There's a lot of times when I wish there would be an outbreak, just so I could see how I'd fare.

[jiggle]

I always think there's a clown standing right behind me when I'm on the computer.

"IT" will be there when I lean over the sink to wash my face. Sometimes I'd reach behind to make sure nothing's there before I open my eyes.

If my bedroom door is closed, I'd think there's a clown behind it. I'd pause everything the light thru the door gap flickers. In the closet, in the car trunk, and under the bed, clown clown clown clown clown.



edit: Oh ya, when I'm driving late at night, I always think that if I turn to look at the car next to me, the driver would be in clown makeup and it'd turn around and smile.
Whenever I think of that, I just have to look across(very slowly) to make sure it's not true.

Oh my god.

We share the same thoughts.

After watching the romero trilogy and recently shaun, I've had the sudden increase of the zombie fetish. I need to get that Zombie Survival Guide!

Do you also think about.....you know. That?

Thanks for freaking me out now. I'm home alone, and the hair is standing on the back of my neck now. Fuckin clowns.

I lived next to a graveyard ages ~3-7ish. In a mobile home. Of course then it seemed perfectly normal, and was a starting point for riding the wagon down the hill! Really, though, the matter of graveyards is a big suspension of disbelief thing for me as far as zombie movies go. I realize zombies have TEH POWER and all, but digging out from under several feet of dirt, and possibly needing to bust through a coffin first... well, I'd be inclined to think they'd be pretty well stuck there.

Of course, that would make a future where the living turned out victorious much more interesting. The next time Wal-Mart digs up an ancient burial ground it wouldn't be so easy! :lol

Clowns to me aren't funny, they're sad. I think it's because when I was young and went to the circus, a clown killed my dad.

I am more often than facinated with the idea of moving. Not as in how we move or the physical aspect of moving, but of always being on the run. Or wondering where the hell everyone is going to...

I think it comes from the fact that I grew up next to an off ramp on one of the busiest expressways in Illinois. Late at night, when I was like 12, I would sit and watch all of these cars coming and going and wonder just what they were doing. Where were they going? Why?

I still think about that alot, but more lately it has more often been about me being the one who is moving. Driving to somewhere, anywhere. No destination. Just going. Moving.

I took a big road trip with some friends a few years ago and when we were all planning it all out I told them that I'd be up for most of the driving. Now keep in mind we basically drove all over the pacific Northwest, into parts of Canada, and back home to Illinois. It was alot of driving. Up and down mountains, across rivers and fields.. I was so god damn happy at all the driving I got to do then. It is really freaky.

Then I moved down to Texas and it was great in that it was another long drive that I got to make. I had someone riding down with me, but I drove all 18 hours. And since moving back to Illinois around 6 months ago, I've been obsessed with the idea of going back. I have other reasons for that, but I can't tell you how fantastic the idea of leaving right now and hopping in my car and going to Texas sounds.

I'll be going to work in the morning and get on the expressway, and it's like there is something pulling me to make a wrong turn and head South.

So.. yeah.. I do have a weird thing I think about all the time. Sorry for going off on a tangent. I've never really tried to put that feeling into words.

I should add that a big part of it is the music you listen to on the road. And now that I've got my iPod I can only imagine the nirvana to be had with a long trip.

[Freestyler]

I sometimes fantasise/think/wish/hope that my semen is this magical fluid that can cure every disease (including the biggies like cancer/AIDS) in the world, and that I get given like 20 armed bodyguards to protect me, and the world has to give me all the hot men I want (including celebrities) in order to get the next batch of the cure. I could control the world.

I even practice speeches (in the mirror) that I would make on the news when everyone first found out etc..

Am I strange?

[Late Stage Marxist]

Sometimes when I'm walking somewhere I like to imagine that I'm turning the planet like a globe with my feet.

Sometimes I think about how cool it would be to be invisible. Just to walk around completely carefree about hair, clothes etc at least for a day.

Sometimes I think about death and how one day I'll cease to exist. It causes a logical feedback loop in my brain and I get a rush. It's usually followed by thoughts of how I should eat healthier, live my life to the fullest, etc.

Sometimes I think "what if I was aborted when I was in my mother's womb because doctors 'thought' that I might be born abnormally? How would my lack of existance change the lives of those around me and would I still have a soul (if such a thing exists)?"

edit: woops that didn't qualify as 'all the time'

[hobbitx]

Sometimes I wonder what horrible tragedies of the world would be like in cartoon universes like Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, etc.. Like when they happen would they be one of those serious heart-felt moments or would they be comical no matter how sick the event since it's a cartoon. Like Nazis cracking witty jokes before killing jews or a 9/11 terrorist doing a huge musical number before crashing the plane. I don't really think about this all time, but it does cross my mind often when I see a WWII reference in a cartoon.

Another thing I think about is all the great stuff I'm probably missing out on when I look up at the stars at night. It feels like I'm missing out on all kinds of real life Stars Wars, FFs, and hell, Oddworlds out there.

 

[Ned Flanders]

I get random impulses to jump from high/dangerous places a lot. If I'm a passenger with someone, I think of opening the door and leaping onto the highway, and when I hang out on my friends 3rd story balcony I imagine flinging myself over the rail. The impulses seem strange and involuntary, and I sometimes question whether or not I might impulsively jump and only consciously realize what I've done in mid-freefall.

I have major hangups relating to the restrictions of physics and reality in general, most likely going back to my childhood rearing on superhero cartoons, movies, and comics. I often fantasize about defying physical conventions through sheer will, as though if someone believed enough that they could not be harmed or shatter planets etc, it could actually occur. I've always thought of making a kind of free-form movie on the topic (kind of like Unbreakable), starting with just some average Joe slowly realizing the power of his will, and culminating with some end-all feat (pulling galaxies into a collision etc). Totally odd, but thats what the fucking thread is about.

You too? Not suicidal in nature, either. It's just a strange controllable impulse that I've experienced from time to time (except for the jumping out of cars one, which I've never thought of; look what you've done!).

When I was living in Leeds there was this fucking bum that used to wear clown make-up. He's sit on the floor near the ATM smashed and laughing to himself in the rain.
I think he did it just to freak out everyone.
It worked.

[Drozmight]

All the time. Sometimes when I'm driving and there isn't any traffic I tend to think that maybe a few lights back I got in a car accident and died. That'd explain why there isn't any traffic. Everyone else around me has also died and we don't realize it because the events leading up to our death are somehow forgotten when we die, and our lives go on like normal in an alternate death world.

That and I too think about jumping off high places at random. More for the reaction of everyone who witnessed it than anything else. I know if I were sitting there, and some dude just without warning jumped off the space needle I'd think, "Oh... damn." This reminds me of when I was living in a dorm and someone dropped a garbage bag of water out of the top floor. It landed on the cieling of the porch where all the smokers hang out. Damn, the building shook, and everyone started screaming... it was hilarious. That's why I'd do it.

That's exactly what I think about. Maybe it's coz I'm a fan of zombie movies or something

 

[Wendo]

Sometimes when I see shady people, I always envision them shooting me in the back as soon as I walk past them. Often I'll walk in a zig zag pattern, in a pre-emptive attempt to avoid being shot.

But yeah, I have a horrible imagination. I'll be taking a shower in a locked bathroom (which is in a locked bedroom, in a locked apartment) and still be thinking of escape strategies for when some killer/monster/wolf-thing comes to get me.

Basically, I see everything as if it were in a horror movie. If there's a dead cat on the side of the road, I envision it springing up and sinking its fangs into my throat.

i think of similar things but not specific to zombies. i just think to myself 'if some nut case with a deadly weapon jumped through that window over there and tried to kill me, what would i do to protect myself?"

and i think of various scenarios that would work. it ends up playing out like an action movie in my head.

 

[Folder]

This thread is wrong in so many ways.

 

[APerfectCircle]

when i was like 7, my mums boyfriend knocked on my window the n made a scary face when i opened the curtains. Now everytime it's night and curtains are opened i keep thinking about a guy like just walking up to my window. you like see it in the scary movies

 

[human5892]

I always entertain the idea of throwing things off of high places, or out car windows...but they're things I like. For example, if I buy a video game or DVD and I'm on my way home, I have the urge at least once to grab the bag from the passenger seat and toss it out the window.

I also constantly find myself wishing that some earth-shattering event would occur (alien invasion, zombie attack, etc.) because a) it would be exciting and b) I wouldn't be pressured with stupid, mundane things anymore (job, school, bills, etc.) and would instead only have to concentrate on surviving and staying alive. There's something exhilirating about the thought of that.

 

[Suerte]

Ha about the zombie thing, every now and then I'll look around and suddenly think "this would be a good place to set up base if there was a zombie outbreak"

Most of the time i get mad as hell when i see or hear what our ministers have come up with.
The amount of money that is thrown away on useless reasearch and on things nobody gives a damn about.
Im getting fed up living by the rules that some idiots thinks is best for a entire nation.
The kinda stuf they waste energy and money on could be used for so many better things to create a better society.

[BojTrek]

I sometimes think about hot potatoes, why do I have to pass it? Why wouldn't I just add butter and salt to it and eat it? And why do I get kicked out of the game if I am holding the hot potato? I should actually get a plate with a knife and napkin.

I also dream that I am the mouse in The Abyss, and I can breathe under water... but I breathe very slowly... I can look up and see light on the surface of the water.

I think about increasing my penis size... damn pills don't work or do they?... the wife doesn't care either way...

 

[Teflar]

Dude. If zombies show up, stock up on Robitussin. HEAL POTIONS HARM THE UNDEAD.

:lol

I tend to put myself in "attack" situations as well. I think of aliens though, more then zombies.

Also, I think about what I would do and who I would ask for help if my brother got kidnapped and I needed a rescue team to go get him, but there was a high chance of us getting killed.

Essentially its a test in my head. I use it to decide who is a close enough friend to be asked to die for my brother.

Also, I wish my dog could talk.

 

[Folder]

Do you all honestly think about zombies overrunning the world a lot? Really, this isn't a joke? I never have. Might give it a go. But, what if I end up thinking about it all the time?

In unrelated Folder's looking marriage news, I picked up rings on Monday 13th (my 27th birthday too) and they are wonderful and our cheesy vows turned up, along with the wedding booking. I am so scared and yet so utterly thrilled!

[open_mouth_]

When I was in my early teens and saw cute little toddlers/babies, I'd always imagined being locked in a room with like a dozen of them teaming up battle royal style to fight me... and I kick all their asses, ooooh yeah!

I always have visions/dreams of playing the hero when a lady has her purse stolen on the street and I chase down the bandit or if there's a building on fire and I save a baby or two. Oh, and the ladies in these dreams are hot as heck

It's crazy, but it keeps me sane (if that makes sense).
