Are you ready for the zombie apocalypse?

Yes, I'm being somewhat serious with the title. You can blame World War Z for inspiring this post.

I'm not a big fan of zombies. They're downright creepy because in a very general sense, zombies are the animated flesh of dead humans that bite living creatures and infect them and in turn increase the zombie population that continue searching for life to infect. And in some cases (not all of them though) they will eat you, or at least parts of you, in the process of infecting you.

And if you don't find that creepy at all, I'm going to say that I find something wrong with you (but don't take it too seriously, because I don't really mean it and I'm sure you'd find something wrong with me as well somewhere along the way. My opinion is just an opinion) Because there are few things more disturbing in my eyes.

But other than the general sense of what they are and do, zombies are kind of repellant to me because they're like animals in the sense of they think based on instinct, not actual thoughts like humans do. In some cases, you get them talking and moaning "Brains" while they try to bite/eat you, but other than that I don't think I know of any other talking zombies. I actually enjoy reading books involving animals as the main characters, but they're also mostly just animals with very human-like thinking processes that I'm not sure that real animals possess. I'm very reliant on my thoughts and don't think I'd too well with instincts alone, so that might be why I don't like them too much in that area.

So yeah, when I think of the word "zombie", I think of what you read above this. In most cases, I forget about the subject really fast and continue my train of thought into something more interesting. But since watching World War Z, it's been slightly stuck in my head (don't even ask how it's possible for something to be only slightly stuck in my head)

See, I was thinking a bit and remembered about a picture I saw on one of those funny picture sites some time ago where there was a poll on Facebook asking whether people wanted world peace or the zombie apocalypse more, and there were more votes on the zombie apocalypse than world peace. Then I remembered about people that I knew of somehow (I can't remember where I saw them, but I'm sure that they exist) who were completely psyched about the idea of a zombie apocalypse, and in turn about chain posts that asked what your weapon would be in the case of a zombie apocalypse, and so on.

And so (finally) my starter question is: Do you wish for the zombie apocalypse?

The headache known as the Evillious Chronicles

For any Kingdom Hearts fans out there that know how complex the entire series is...I found something that matches the level of complexity. And what makes it worse (to me) is that it's mainly a bunch of songs that make it up.

Yep, a bunch of songs telling a story. A while back I did an interpretation of the Synchronicity Vocaloid series (which I will probably redo at some point) and thought it was confusing and I believe I mentioned the Evillious Chronicles in the post. Maybe, maybe not, I'm not going to go check now. This is exactly that.

So yeah, the Evillious Chronicles are a headache spanning quite a few Japanese songs, novels, and mangas, as well as probably some other resource I'm not aware of at this moment. I'm busy trying to decipher what I can from the (unfinished as of writing this post) story and will probably not post anything too useful (if at all) until then (and I will be making a post of some sort about it when I am done with all current materials that I can find) so I just wanted to let anyone who might actually be reading this know...

And if you want to check the series yourself, here's the link to the Wiki dedicated to it...you're gonna need it.

Looking for Kingdom Hearts Fanfictions

Ehm, so...I'm looking for some decent Kingdom Hearts fanfictions that mostly follow the general idea of Kingdom Hearts (Keyblades, Heartless/Nobodies, etc.) and are not AU (Alternate-Universe, such as the characters going to high school) and are not slash pairings (boy/boy or girl/girl) There's nothing wrong with them and there are people who are like that but...sometimes it gets to be a bit much. Other requirements include (but don't necessarily need to be included) the story being completed, a long length, and multiple stories in a series.

And while I do look for stories, I think I'm going to make a list of them here...because there are stories I've read a few years ago that I would love to re-read, but for the life of me I can't remember anything that would help me in a search.

I'm currently looking for stories because I have this awesome idea to write a fanfic myself that I so far haven't seen anywhere else (but I won't disclose any details here because I'm still in the process of figuring out the beginning, most characters, and the order of worlds I'm going to end up using eventually) I'm not going to copy anything I read, it's just that I can't play the games right now and can only really read stories, and it's a bit of a change seeing the Kingdom Hearts universe in written words and not as gameplay. And reading these stories might inspire me to write my story a lot faster so I can get it out of my head (it's actually really annoying sometimes since it's been stuck in my head for more than a year, but I think that it's awesome all the same)

As of right now, there are no stories on this list, but it will be updated as I finish reading stories. I'll probably end up categorizing them, as I'm probably going to end up reading a broad range of fics. Or I might end up moving the list to another site and linking to it...I have no idea what the best way to go about this would be.

If you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear it. I do have a list of things to read already though, so I might not get to it immediately...

Problems

Jeez, where did August go?

I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. The first one in...I think 3 years. That's when I last remember going to get shots (which weren't nearly as bad as childhood memories made them out to be, gotta say that) I've gotta try seeing if I can talk to the doctor because I'm pretty positive I have some form of depression, but chances are that I won't because 1) my mom will probably be in there as well, if not my younger brother as well (I honestly have no idea, but I really do hope that I'm alone...) 2) I hate talking to people, like I really can't talk to people even if I want to, and 3) It'll be pretty embarrassing, not to mention annoying, if I do have depression and they tell my mom. I mean, it's not like she'll really try doing anything to make me feel better.

A sad, but probably true, fact would be that I think that most of my family members have some sort of problem.
