How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

[wistwisp]

Okay you guys.

I was thinking about the Modern Pentathlon again today, what with the Olympics starting on Friday and all (my gods - the two days that the modern pentathlon is scheduled for are the first two days of school!! How is that fair?!), and I made a stunning realization.

Earlier today, I had taken a Zombie Survival Quiz sent to me by my

O_o; You are definitely right.
This means that, as I am not a modern pentathlete or even a modern athlete, I have zero chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse.

No way, you could totally survive. One of the best things to do would be to run away, and I know you can run!!

(In the quiz, they gave me an F for physical-ness and I still ended up with an overall A for survival)

There's a bit of a difference between jogging and running, but I'll take your compliment. ^^

(Weird.... That somehow seems like it would be... important...)

The thing that sucks about zombie apocalypses and apocalypses in general is that you can keep running away and coming up with ways to survive, but eventually everyone else is going to be dead/a zombie, so it might be better to just get killed from the beginning.

Actually, my individual scores after the quiz were deplorable, but overall I got an A. I guess they figured that I'd be able to bumble my way along and survive out of sheer luck.

But by being killed at the beginning, you succumb to the thought of No Hope! What if there was a zombie outbreak, but everyone was calling it an apocalypse, so you killed yourself, but then it turned out to not be an apocalypse?

Who determines whether or not it's an apocalypse, anyway?
