This weekend I'm going on my first Zombie walk, I cannot express just how excited I am, it's like Santa and the Tooth fairy road tripped in the Easter bunny's VW Van to come personally give me the 8th Harry Potter book. It is that exciting.
I'm stuck though as whether 'to theme or not to theme' (insert cleshay Hamlet line here). I mean I know that by theming I would probably satisfy my deeply girly need to look pretty and well put together yet at the same time, should a zombie look pretty and well put together?
I do have a theme all planned out. The dress I have looks like a 1940s dress and I'd curl my hair into a frizzed out and white socks with my flats. I'm not sure as whether to wear red lipstick or not. If I don't theme I'll try and look as normal as possible + infected with a zombie virus.
I've heard that zombies can represent everything from the governments, mob-mentatlty, and/or anger against a racist/classist/sexist/generally oppressive society. But I don't think many people see that when they watch things like Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later. I'm curious as to what the zombies in Zombiland will represent or if they will symbolize anything.
The sad secret of it all is though, that I have a secret phobia of zombies. When watching zombie movies every light in the house or dorm room must be turned on and something is usually clutched in a death grip in my small hands, sometimes someones arm or even my sweatshirt.
Maybe the zombie walk will help cure my fear, maybe the dead Anderson sister look will be totally cute, maybe Zombieland will be a deeply satisfying intellectually. But all that is really known is that this weekend will be totally freaking awesome.

Woot! That sounds like fun! I was going to dress up as a lizard for Halloween, however, I'm going to a football game (homecoming). So I might dress up as something a bit less...messy (painting myself green may not be the best approach for sitting and screaming at the quarterback). Have fun!
