Is This Weird?

I like books and movies and tv shows about what happens After.  After the zombie apocalypse, after the stumble through the wardrobe, after the arrival on Earth of aliens.  I know that's not weird, because otherwise a significant proportion of our contemporary entertainment would not exist.

I like to take it a step further, though.  I like to imagine how I would do in an After kind of situation.  OK, maybe "like" isn't exactly the right word; maybe something that better conveys the "I am helpless before this compulsion" vibe would be more appropriate.  Either way, I do it.  I try to figure out how I would do in such untoward circumstances, and I come to some pretty inevitable conclusions.

1) I should probably make sure my glasses prescription are up to date.  If I need any kind of life-saving prescription, special food item, or magical wand, I have plenty of examples of how to find that.  Contact lenses, though?  Nobody has yet produced entertainment to answer that question.

2) I really want to be the star of this story because they get the best plot lines, have the fewest disfiguring injuries to their face, and generally last the longest.  It's probably not going to work out, though.  I'm going to be some cross between the smart-mouthed sidekick overdue for a morality tale and the wise hermit who uses words and clauses that could be filled with life-lessons, or could just be evidence of an apocalypse-riddled brain.

3) All my Frye boots will finally come in handy.

4) I might finally have to learn how to eat meat.  If I don't eat venison cooked over an open flame or aging cans of Beef Stew, I might completely starve.

Tell me this isn't weird.  We all do this, right?  A steady diet of Walking Dead-Narnia-Hunger Games-etc gets to all of us, right?  Please, somebody, agree with me!
