Okay ladies, what do you contribute in a zombie apocalypse?

What is it about you that makes the group want to keep you? What is it about you that would make the group kick you out?
Good: I have some medical knowledge and I'm a grief therapist IRL, so I suppose once we are settled and out of danger I would be helpful! Also, I am pretty strong for my size. I build computers for a hobby so I might be able to be mechanical.
Bad: I eat a lot and get really tired and sick if I don't eat regularly. I get lost really easily and can never figure out where the fuck I'm going. I honestly think if I were to lose all my close family I would just off myself. I think this makes me unwilling to cooperate with strangers.
Et tu, brute?

Re: Okay ladies, what do you contribute in a zombie apocalypse?
Well, thanks to my job I've got good tactical experience and hand-to-hand training. I'm a wizard with a handgun and a shotgun. I can drive like nobody's business, and can change tires/oil and boost a car. I'm used to making snap decisions and acting on them quickly (which can be a pro or a con, depending). I also have a compound bow, and I'm not squeamish unless it's my own blood, so I can be your nurse, @larrygaga.
Cons: I get hangry - and I'm the type to peace out and go my own way if I literally can't even with something or someone.
Bad: I get hangry, have no sense of direction, and am a terrible runner.
On the other hand, despite being an archer I'm not a hunter and I have no idea how to skin and butcher animals. I'm willing to shoot animals if I have to, but someone else is going to have to know how to make the carcasses edible.
Ah. I gotcha on that one. My dad used to be a butcher. I know what to do with meat.
I can shoot a gun, have very good hand eye coordination, have excellent aim and speed when throwing things. I function very well under pressure. I can cook. I am not grossed out by blood and shit and bodily functions. I am an excellent leader in terms of taking control of a task, delegating etc. but might not be the best at keeping morale up. I function highly on adrenaline and don't need a lot of sleep.
I can be very my way or the highway. I need you to follow fucking orders or I just can't. I don't do well with people who get all weepy and freak out when serious stuff needs to be dealt with. ETA: I do NOT have patience. I do when I need to focus and fire a weapon but I am super impatient with people generally.
One time on a trip I was kayaking and camping. It was my first time pitching a tent. There were about 20 tents within our group. Some rando storm hit that night. My tent was the only one still standing and dry inside at the end of the storm/in the morning. Honestly I think this was mostly luck but I am proud none the less. Also, TP is a non-necessity as long as we have water. Fuck. I live in a waterless place. How will we get water?
I really, really do not want to have to go through a zombie apocalypse.
I can change a tire, but I don't think that in and of itself makes me useful.
I do not believe this is true. You are rad and your presence would be welcome. You must have SOME skill in life, no? Doesn't have to be weaponry and bad-assery.
So basically. I'm going to become a prostitute if I survive the first wave of the zombie apocalypse.
On the other hand, I don't run, I can't shoot, I'm not good with the shelter building.
Probably you're just best off shooting me and stealing all my lighters.
Bad: I have anxiety, and I can be a bit of a spazz.
As I mentioned in my other thread, I could infiltrate the system and use diversionary tactics. My degree is in criminal justice and psychology, so I know how to shoot a gun (I don't like to, but will if necessary) and can manipulate them. I'm a good driver and my parents have a legit safe room in their house with ammo and dry goods. They also live on a lake and have a boat. Headquarters procured.
On the downside, I REALLY suck at directions. I'm convinced Google hates me because sometimes the map doesn't even work. It always tries to get me to drive through the ghetto. So we may get lost on the way to my parent's house...
Good: I'm a decent cook. I can sew. Literally all my mom's uncles were in the military and have been teaching me (and the rest of my cousins)gun and knife skills since we were about 14 so I'm a decent shot with a gun but a better one with a knife. Also I took an ancient weapons class in college ... Idk it might come in handy.
Bad: another hangry bitch here. I'm a bit klutzy. And I feel guilty when I have to kill things. That sounds kind of bad but I mean I feel kind of guilty when I kill spiders and stuff.
Me bringing H along will probably be my greatest strength. He has a construction background, is really strong, and his family owns a farm. He'll let us have all the alcohol and keep camp really tidy.
Bad: I would probably be really emotional. Also, I'm far, far away from all the northern knotties. But if y'all come here, I can probably save us
