Braaaiiinnnsss!

HvZ is going well. The third day of the game and my second day of being a zombie is now. I made two kills today. I came out of Holden Hall from my first class at around 10:50ish and saw my friend Reid. I was about to wave and say hi, but the I saw the pink bandana on his arm. I smiled, put my bandana around my head and started to follow him. There is a rule that you can't devour anyone's corps if they are within 20 feet of a building and he kept walking by buildings. Luckily I finally got him when he was crossing the street. Poor, unsuspecting Reid was listening to his headphones the whole time. He never stood a chance. I'm sure that it must have looked quite amusing to innocent passersby to see someone with a pink bandana around their head follow someone else with a pink bandana around their arm at a very unsafe distance. I would have laughed. After I got his ID I had to hurry off to my next class, but on my way I saw yet another human. He was on his bike and he saw me (pink bandanas on heads can generally be spotted from a mile away) and we kind of glared at one another and I kept turning around, wanting to go after him and he kept watching me walk away, ready to bolt, but quite confused, I'm sure, when I kept walking the other way. I had just eaten anyhow. I'll let some other hungry zombie claim him. That is unless I see him tomorrow...

After all my classes were over I decided to walk through the SUB and enter by way of the music building despite it being completely out of the way. There are always a lot of humans near or in the music building or the common area just outside it (but still indoors, unfortunately). I did end up seeing someone and I followed him down the long hall of the common area (which was quite awkward, because, as I mentioned before, pink bandanas around foreheads tend to stick out), but he just went to sit with his friends. Someone did yell out a warning to him though. I suppose that scenario was quite comical to watch as well. I love the music building. Band kids are awesome, vocal majors are funny, and theatre majors are... theatre majors. I don't know how exactly to explain the latter. Vocal majors are funny, for lack of a better word, because they think they know everything there is to know about music. This past week colleges from all over Texas came for a contest that was being held at my university. My friends Hannah and Kylie just so happened to be among them and while I was sitting outside of a practice room that was being occupied by Kylie I heard a group of vocals walk by and then stop talking to listen. One of them said 'they're pushing too much', in reference to someone in one of the practice rooms and the rest murmured in agreement. As far as theatre majors go, at my university in the common area by the music building you can always find a group of theatre/vocal majors sitting at a table (same table every day) chit-chatting about theatery and vocal stuff. I know it's weird, but I like listening to other people's conversations sometimes. Sometimes I go to the dining hall that is inside of the honors dorm and drop some eves in there. Honors kids are so weird. Their conversations are hilarious. My roommate and I do that a lot. They say the most interesting things. It's crazy the people you meet in college...

Then since I was in the SUB I had a (very good) fruit salad for lunch. Brains for breakfast and fruit for lunch. Today was a good day.

Anyway, I've been getting a lot of weird stares from people on campus today because of the pink bandana. I've learned, however, that if you just stare back they eventually get uncomfortable and look away. Except for this one guy outside of the music building. He wasn't playing, but he had no problem looking at me even though I was staring right back at him. No shame at all. Interesting.

My last kill involved a sort of chase. I was going to meet Reid at the library so that we could hunt together and double team some people, but along the way I met Sam, a boy who had offered to help with the game for next semester. I saw his pink bandana around his head and asked him if he wanted to hunt with Reid and I. He agreed so we went to meet Reid. We found him and he was going to go into the library to record his latest kill on one of the computers, but before going pointed out one of his friends, who was still a human and was also very unsuspectingly reading a book between the two buildings. Sam went around the back way and I started to walk up to her side. She noticed us and got up. I apologised that we were being so creepy at the moment and also for what was about to happen. She took out two nerf balls (not the footballs. More like the snitch sized ones. They were the only weapon allowed on my campus, unfortunately) and started inching toward the library entrance. She threw one ball at me. I ducked. Then she threw the other one at Sam who successfully dodged it and started running toward the library. I caught up with her and received my second index card of the day.

Tomorrow all of the zombies are planning a killing spree by the band practice lot. We are going to attack right after band is released. I'm excited. Before that though, I am going to try and tag Anthony, the guy in charge of CTF and who's been coordinating with me for the HvZ finale on Friday. He posted on the group that he is going to be by the ESC at approximately 9:15 and then by the SUB at 10:30-11. I want to try and get him at the ESC so I am going to get up extra early. I didn't even know where the ESC was so I had to look it up on the campus map. Then I set my alarm to wake me good and early. I feel like kind of a creeper. I'll let you know how it goes though.

Update on the guy thing: he only texted me 8 times yesterday and that was without me replying so as to not encourage him in any way. I responded the first day (Monday) because I felt bad for not doing so. I always feel kind of bad when my text messages go unanswered. But then I realised that it was truly getting ridiculous and he was texting for no reason at all other than to just say 'hey'. Fortunately, Paul and Christine have agreed to go with me to the drive-in. I haven't told Matt yet. I'm not really sure how to. I guess I'm just going to do it really casually. By they way, thank you again to Emily and Elisabeth for your advice. I really appreciate it. And in answer to your question, Emily, I am going to Florence. Specifically APICIUS School for Hospitality.

One other good thing that happened to me today is that Sam Freidman commented on my video on YouTube. At first when I saw the comment notification thing I thought that she had just replied to a comment that I had left on her latest video because she does that because she's cool. But then I saw that she had commented on one of my own videos. Needless to say I was pretty freakin happy. She is cool. I wish I lived in New York. A lot of super cool people (Emily) live in NYC and I feel like I'm missing out. Stupid Texas (I could write several blogs on my qualms with Texas. Maybe I'll start a series).
