Ahhh, the zompocalypse... How I have longed for it to come sweeping through the world...
First, the zompocalypse that I would want... I think that the virus would be some sort of mutated form of rabies, swine flu, bird flu, mad cow disease, or any combination of those... It would start the same way all epidemics in America come about... Media frenzy and the country to just be in disarray from it...
What I would do to survive: First off, I'd gather all those that I would like to save and travel with. My friends and family, as well as any others I feel would help in my own survival, as well as theirs.
Then I'd go about with the looting. Taking food, supplies, weapons, anything I could find.
I'd find shelter next... Some place big, yet protective. Nothing with a lot of windows at ground level. Something with locks, natural protection around the area (such as a small river, a pond, maybe a few hills... Preferably something that is on a raised plain where I could see all around me.)
After a while, the virus will spread to others, and humans would start thinning out. That's the time to start traveling, making sure not to stay in the same place for long. Settling down is just asking for death.
Eventually, I would think that I'd find some sort of abandoned boat house where I could just live in on the Great Lakes... Preferably lake Superior, since it's colder up there. I'd expect that zombies would have trouble moving in colder environments... They'd move slower/not at all.
And if I'm ever bitten or somehow contract the virus... I'd want to be shot in the head... No way I'd turn into an effin' zombie.
