Emergency escapes analyzed

I speak of a topic that's socially not acceptable: bathrooms. While you silently spend a few minutes to yourself, this time is your most vulnerable. But what if this would become one's safe place during an emergency? There's definitely one on each floor of my building but who would ever think of using it as a safe spot at work? (Points finger at herself.)

#3 Beware of bathrooms via Zombieland

Beware is true when there are more than one stall but finding one with one stall that locks? Oh yea! That one stall locking bathroom is golden. If anything, at least I could survive on water and I had a place I could go. The door is made of steel and I can't see any obvious weaknesses. The ceiling is all cement. Maybe escaping through the ceiling would have been ideal but at least I won't have to worry about zombies falling through the sky. If anything I'm only 1.5 floors and a stairway away from the vending snack and drink machine. Or just a few steps away from the cubes where I know there's a lot of stashed snacks in desks. If I needed a weapon there's a couple of pipes I could try my best to jack from the wall or some steel vents I could reshape into a sword from the bathroom.

But if not for zombies this bathroom would still be great in times of hurricanes too. Actually when Hurricane Ike hit, there were quite a few people who took refuge at the building. It at least continuously had a/c, electricity, phone and internet which is more than what most Heights, Sugar Land or The Woodlands had. If I was out and about the only other place that could stand anything more would be Kelvin Arms's bank vault. But in terms of 2012 and if the world were to flood, well, then... I need another option.

Words that sound the same every time

When I'm helping my parents at their doughnut shop my friend would drop by to support the business. She'd sit back and eat her breakfast during the rush hour. She pulls me aside afterward and asked me, "Do you realize you say the same thing to every customer the same way in pitch and tone?"

Here's my weird list of "Lina doesn't know how else to say these things to strangers but to say them the same way every time repeatedly":
  • Morning!
  • Hi! How are you?
  • Anything else?
  • Ok, thank you! Have a good day.
Ok here are other words I say the same.
  • WOW really? (sarcasm)
  • Awesome!
  • Hunnnnnnnnn (that's for Hubby)
  • What are we going to eat? (that's in a serious tone)
  • That's SO FUNNY!
Other things I say... I say things at least twice when I play volleyball.
  • Short! Short!
  • GO! GO! GO!
  • mine mine mine mine mine
  • out out out!
  • tight tight!
Oh there is one word I don't say twice in volleyball and it goes like this:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(for all those people who steal my balls)

And now I realize that I should have did an audio blog for this one else it really doesn't make sense. I'll think about redoing it but this is what you get for now. I'm just making fun of myself.
