That is awsome.
This morning I awoke from another of my weekly "you survived the Zombie apocalypse and now live is shitty" dream and went straight to the gym to run it out, so you can imagine that this would be a good thing for me.

I'm thinking playing a chaser zombie might be a lot of fun. SoCal is a long way off though. Maybe they'll have one in SF or Tahoe one of these days.

Reposted on FB. I know people in or near some of those cities.

I never have zombie dreams.
Being absorbed by a techno-organic collective consciousness like the Borg from STAR TREK or the Phalanx from X-MEN?
Pretty frequently. Not all the time but pretty frequently. They are my go-to "supernatural/science-fiction" nightmare, it seems.
Losing my identity in a larger mind is a great terror to me, I guess, more than becoming a mindless consumer of flesh.
-
I never have zombie dreams.
Constant zombie dreams, here. Largest percentage of remembered dreams by far. Had one the night before last.
-
I very rarely have zombie dreams. My recurrent nightmares usually involve being in a concentration camp.

I just recently watched the first season of The Walking Dead and I was surprised by how much I liked it. I think someone told me or I read somewhere that it was really boring.
-
the first six episodes (season 1) were pretty great. The next two are good, the following six are so fuck*ng slow it hurts, and the last four of season 2 are pretty much awesome.
-
Yeah, they fucked up getting rid of Darabont. I am glad nothing got spoiled here because I'm going home today and I've got the last one on the DVR to watch with my sweetheart.
The books are better.
-
no dude they did the opposite of fuck*ng up when they swapped darabont for mazzara. darabont was responsible for the first half of the second season, mazarra had to recover. this was darabont's first show-runner job, he hadn't work in tv since he wrote for young indiana jones. mazzara ran the shield. he's the reason why the end run of season 2 was good.

The Walking Dead has most certainly been responsible for my zombie nightmares. Watching anything on a Sunday night, right before I hit the sack, especially if it's intense, is certain to cause a little seepage into my subconscious.
When it comes to fight or flight, I'm more of a fight girl than a flight girl. I love to run (on an eliptical machine) but as I've said elsewhere that's meditation for me, and I'm not driven by fear or anger. In general, when I get into trouble, I much prefer to use my brains to outsmart than my physical self. I'm pretty weak physically, and don't have a lot of interest in building up my physical strength to any significant extent.
-
I am more of a fight girl, too. But although I like to think I could clever myself out of just about anything, I would, ideally, like to have the muscle to fall back on. And, failing that, to be a fast runner as plan C.
I'm either compulsively well-prepared or pathologically insecure. Perhaps both.
