I am very happy today

[naomi_jay]

I would say, could my happiness be expressed in puppy form, I would be approximately this happy:

 

I've no idea why. I'm at work, it's miserable weather, and all I have to sustain me through the afternoon is data entry. And yet I feel almost deliriously happy. Maybe this is the result of cutting diary out of my diet? Or maybe I've gone insane? I'd say that theory can be supported by the fact that I thought my computer was sending me subliminal messages this morning, because I was sure I saw the phrase KILL GIANT INSECTS flash up on my screen. When I double checked, it turned out I'd seen it in a tweet out of the corner of my eye. But then I started thinking about giant insects and how useless I'd be against them.
 

 

I'm not even going to get into how this got me thinking about nuclear war and how scared of it I am, because the important thing is I am happy.

Re: nuclear war fear- i will be completely honest: part of why i've been walking 6 flights of stairs 5 times a week is to get my heart in shape for the zombie apocalypse i'm scared the world will inevitably have!

My best friend and I have regular discussions about the inevitable zombie apocalypse and how we'll cope. So far her strategy is "load up on weapons and canned food and head for high ground" and mine is "die in the first wave of attacks." That way I avoid having to struggle hopelessly for survival, only to die at the end anyway because the army are trying to breed with me or something. Because soldiers always turn evil in apocalyptic situations.

i have a half-cocked plan to hole up in a home building supply store, like a home depot (not sure if they have those out your way). no windows, easy to control entrances, lots of material to use as weapons/etc, and HUGE shelves to climb in order to get the high ground.

now, if they're 28 days later zombies, i'm fucked. my ankles are ten shades of screwed up and my left knee was ruined in a movie theatre slippage accident ten years ago. (I have the lamest injury stories ever)

You cut diary out of your diet?

I just have this lovely image of you storing stacks of Letts under your desk, and saving the Moleskines for special occasions.

I am now also happy.

Yay! So glad to hear you're happy whatever the reason!

Yes, once I cut paper out of my diet, a lot of my problems went away.

Oh yeah, that would be ideal. I'm very suspicious of guns in a zombie apocalypse scenario: I don't want to have to stop and reload in the middle of a melee or anything. Having access to hammers and nail guns and rakes and whatnot suits me much better. Although, yeah, if there are running zombies, I'm going down. I don't run.
