Zombie Flicks

With an amazing zombie cabin outing earlier this month and the filming of our very own zombie movie I've been thinking about what would be my top 5 zombie flicks. Scott may be upset with me for this order but I will explain my reasons as I number them.

1. Zombieland: This could be number one because it's the newest...who knows?! It may be knocked down a few notches after I've seen it a few more times. I dig it so much because I feel that this movie is educational as well as entertainingly scary. Also, it doesn't scare me as much as other zombie movies. It is one that I could watch a lot without having to break out my night light...which I'm a fan of not being scared in my bed at night.

2. Shawn of the Dead: This movie started my love of zombie movies. It's legendary! Yes, it does scare me a bit...but in a funny sort of way...if that's possible. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are a mixture of awesomeness and atractivness, making this movie a classic must see multiple times a year!

3. 28 Days Later: This movie definitely has it's scary parts! Yes, I think people being infected with "rage" is ridiculous, but take that away and this could totally happen! I just know in some lab somewhere they are testing monkeys with some obscure virus and it's bound to get out!

4. Fido: This movie is about life after the zombie outbreak and having zombies as servants. I know I'm not the only that would love a zombie pet!

5. I Am Legend: This movie is freaky!! The zombies in this one are smarter than your average zombie, which I think that's why it freaks me out so much. The old classic zombie movies have them shuffling about, being slowdy powdies...creepy, but nothing I can't handle. When they start to get really fast and devious, then I have issues.

I realize that a lot of these movies on my list are funny ones. I'm going to let you in on a secret....I don't really like scary movies! In fact, I'm not as into zombies as everyone thinks I am. I just feel that zombies are the one part of scary movie world that I could actually handle if it were to happen in real life. Because what I think about when I watch scary movies is "What would I do in that situation?", which is why I get so scared in them. I gotta admit, that in most of the scary movies I see I would survive, because I'm totally a survivor!...and I would make Scott save me.

Big Difference!

I'm turning 31 this Saturday, October 3rd....and it kinda freaks me out! I was OK with 30. That age didn't hurt my psyche. Maybe I was just more mentally prepared for 30 because everyone makes such a big deal of it. 31 is a whole other ball game though. I will no longer be "Oh I'm 30, I was just in my 20's" but "Hi, I'm totally in my 30's. I'm old and just gonna keep getting older and have to be a responsible adult and do adult things. I'm not an energetic youth anymore. I'm getting gray hair & wrinkles and there is nothing I can do about it. Plus according to my parents my ovaries are drying up....Pretty much I'm falling apart and there is no hope....ever!" I mean that's a lot to take in! My insides still feel like their in their 20's...I don't really know how to break it to em that all their dreams are dead now.
