Week 17: Awkward Silence or Awkward Conversation

It’s not easy traveling with another person, especially a girl. You just get used to being alone and… well I don’t know, doing whatever you want. For example I keep a couple of empty jugs in the van for when I have to take a leak. Safer than stopping and getting jumped by zombies while you got your dick in your hand. With Brenda around that little convenience is gone.

Not to mention trying to think of something to talk about. I don’t think we have much in common. Plus after 3 months of traveling mostly by myself I think I have lost all social interaction skills. Not that I had any to begin with.

I tried to ask her how she was coping with things in a post-zombie apocalypse world and somehow managed to steer the conversation toward menstruation and whether or not it attracts zombies like it is said to attract bears. I looked up and she was just staring at me dumbfounded.

I apologized immediately and she just laughed it off. Brenda told me that the thing about bears was just a myth but that she would have to get back to me about the zombies.

After that I kept my mouth shut. I decided awkward silence was better than awkward conversation.

Abu-Futuh - Hahaha, I'm not that good. Blogger lets me schedule the post ahead of time, so it does all the work while I am sleeping.

King Shaddix - I thought we could use a dose of humor after last weeks events. :)

Doh. Don't worry, I need a grammar-nazi. Consider it fixed.
