May 13, Entry 42

The last journal for this year, dear readers!... Reader, I should say. I will sincerely laugh if anyone not in this school ever reads any of these entries. Today I'm going to talk about... Kirby! Kirby is a fat little pink ball who sucks up things and gains there abilities. He has a stomach as big as the universe itself! He has many games for all the Nintendo systems, but my favorite is Kirby and the Crystal Shards. I'm bored of Kirby now. Legend of Zelda! The Legend of Zelda series originally followed a hero named Link who had to rescue Princess Zelda from the evil forces in the kingdom of Hyrule. All the original games on the Game Boy followed Link, I'm pretty sure. The Nintendo 64 games, however, followed people who look exactly like Link, but aren't actually him. Next game! Sonic the Hedgehog! Sonic is a blue hedgehog who always has to foil the plans of the evil Dr. Eggman, who was called Dr. Robotnik in the tv series and in the first games. His original games had fairly flimsy storylines, and almost all of them consisted of Sonic getting through a 2D stage and fighting Dr. Robotnik in different forms at the end of each stage. The Gamecube games were my personal favorite, and they had 3D stages with actual storylines. The new Wii games are junk, though.

Today I'll talk about my ZOMBIE PLAN! Taylor, Morehead, Zach, Aaron and I have an insanely perfect plan for what would happen in the event of a zombie attack. We would collect all the guns and other weapons they have at their houses and their relatives houses (a surprisingly large amount), and board ourselves up at my house, out in the country. We would have a large supply of hunting rifles, a few shotguns, and I think we might be able to find an assault rifle, or something similar. We'd also have tons of ammo, and we could get more from some places if we could get into Cedar Rapids. My house has a really good deck that we could lock off and break the stairs leading onto it, then we could attempt to snipe any zombies that got through the forest or up the driveway, but I don't think that's very likely. Once we had a good fortress set up, we'd probably go into town and collect any food and all sources of electricity we could find, such as generators and a lot of gas. Eventually we might attempt to get into Cedar Rapids, but that seems pretty risky. Especially if every single person there had been zombified. Our strategy would probably differ a little depending on the type of zombies we were facing. If they were the slow, stupid zombies like the ones from Dawn of the Dead, I honestly don't think they would last long versus the world population. Unless they managed to quickly and quietly infect a huge amount of people, the uprising would probably be put down rather quickly. On the other hand, if they were the fast and vicious zombies like the ones from Left 4 Dead (a popular video game), I think we'd have a lot more trouble.
