Why I Hate The Zombie Obsession

Okay, it’s that time again. Time for me to make a list! Yay! Here are some reasons why I hate zombies and the obsession with them.

1. They rival Twilight in their following and over-rated-ness. Seriously.

2. Zombies are not sexy. People should not try to make them sexy. It just makes me hate them more. Oh, and you know what? If you become a zombie, your genitals and/or breasts would probably be the first things to fall off. How sexy is that?

3. They always look the same. And the females are almost always wearing nightgowns but the guys are in street clothes. This makes no sense. Why are the women wearing nightgowns? Most women I know don’t sleep in nightgowns, certainly not a huge proportion. Is there some timing difference in when the “virus” takes affect in men versus women?

4. They leap at people. Given my knowledge of human and animal anatomy, I’m pretty sure the only animals that can do this have a very long ankle to knee distance compared to their hip to knee distance (basically, they’re hind legs look like they bend the other way). Look at all the species that jump well. Cats for example. Humans are not on this list.

5. People who can’t defend themselves against a small poodle and who have often times no weapon experience think they’re going to dominate in the zombie killing frenzy, specifically in aiming a firearm so well as to be able to shoot a moving (maybe slow moving, but moving) person in the head in a relatively specific spot.

There are however, exceptions to my zombie dislike:

• Zombie rubber duckies
• Zombie chocolate easter bunnies (which partially prompted this post)
• Zombie bunnies
• Very well done zombie animal art. Because animals are always awesome.

Haters and Jealous Girls 12/04/2011

This morning I came to some realizations about a couple sayings and opinions and such that, in my opinion, make little to no sense. And I also am in a mood to share, so here you go (If you can’t read sarcasm and humor, please navigate elsewhere)

“Haters Gonna Hate”

Well, yes, Captain Intelligence, haters are going to hate things. By definition that’s what they do. I don’t have any issue with that logic, what I do have an issue with is the usual implied meaning of this phrase which is something to the effect of: so and so hates me/my whatever/what I did just because they are a hateful/tasteless/mean/etc person. Okay, so sure, this happens occasionally, but more often than not it seems like this phrase is used in the context that the person saying it is referring to someone who has a legit(ish) reason to “hate” whatever the thing is.

For example, I might dislike someone’s photography or modeling. I’m a model so I see a lot of this, hence my using it as an example.

Perhaps a photographer posts nude and semi-nude “sexy” photos he took of his daughter and her best friend. I’m not crazy about those and I’ll say so (to certain others in the community). I just personally think taking sexy, implied-lesbian-lover photos of your naked daughter and her friend is kinda a little off. I’m not saying it implies anything else is going on or whatever, but I just think it’s off. Now I’m sure at least 10 people would jump in and use that “hates gonna hate” phrase and say I’m just saying that because of this or that involving the daughter being a whore or whatnot. But I’m not. I’d say the same thing if any photographer I knew was taking sexy photos of his daughter. Art nudes or fashion or other types of photos would be different to me, but anything that is supposed to be erotic or sexy is just weird to me in that situation.

“She’s Just Jealous of Your Beauty”

I like this one a lot. Girl B insults Girl A and Girl A’s friend’s rush to the comfort of Girl A and tell her Girl B is just jealous of her beauty (or sexiness, or whatever else like that). Sometimes this is the case, but often time Girl A did something to show her true colors to Girl B and Girl B has a legit point.

For example, maybe Girl A really is a floozy and sleeps around with a whole group of guys or dates one guy, then dates his friend and has pictures of the guys passed out around her and smoking pot and licking her boobs and such on Facebook. And then Girl B says “Well, maybe she’s not really that serious about her ‘public image’ afterall.” Are you really thinking Girl B is wrong here? Is she just saying this because she’s jealous of Girl A’s floozilisciousness? Not likely. She probably just thinks Girl A is a dumbass and is open about sharing it.

Now I do realize girls are vicious creatures and we do get jealous (in part because the guys in our lives and society push us to be), but a lot of times there is a backstory to stuff that we don’t share with everyone for various reasons.

If you caught the sarcasm in this post, plus ten points for you. If you got pissy because you didn’t… try again. You’ll get it eventually Also… I used hoes, haters, floozy, and a few other words that make me giggle a little, so yes, that was on purpose, and no I don’t usually talk that way.

Making Facebook Gaming Less Annoying 11/20/2011

I am writing this article to give you some information on both how to be considerate and less annoying with your gaming on Facebook and on how you can eliminate things you don’t want to see like game requests and such. This article was written in November of 2011 so it should be current for that version of Facebook.

Being A Considerate FB Gamer

I play Farmville on Facebook, but chances are, unless you do too, you won’t know it. Why is that? Because I have learned how to not shove it in my friends’ faces. I also know how to keep out the other games that I don’t play so I’m not constantly plagued with the requests and posts.

It’s actually a pretty easy thing to do via Facebook’s lists for friends and I’m going to give you step by step directions.

1. From your home, click Lists on the left hand side.
2. Create a new list for your game. I use a list for each game and title it the same as the game.
3. Add your friends who also play the game to your list. This may take a little while the first time, but from then on you can just add people to the list as you add them as a friend.
4. When you post from the game, you should see a little icon next to the Share button that look like two people, click this and select your game list. This will set the post so that only people on your game list can see the post.

It takes two extra seconds when posting. And if you miss a post you can always go back on your wall, click on the upper right corner of the post, and choose the list.

Getting Game Requests Out of Your Hair

Even those of us who do play a game or two, don’t play every game on Facebook and some people don’t play any. There is a way to stop seeing posts and requests from a game. You will have to do it once for each game, but it’s pretty quick and painless. Here is how I do it:

1. From your home, look under your Apps section and click Game Requests.
2. Click one of the black X’s next to a request from that game.
3. You should then see a small block of text. One of the lines should say “Block ______?” If you click on that link you will get a dialogue box explaining to you what will happen if you block the app. You won’t see requests or posts from it any more.
4. Click Okay.

And voila! You don’t have to see any of that stuff any more.
