So...CNN has an article on vampires, which I won't be copying and pasting here, however just can go and read the whole thing here: "From Dracula to Edward, the changing face of vampires", anyways, there are a couple of things that made me LOL and want more vampires:

(bold for my fave remarks)

"And it doesn't hurt that all these characters just so happen to be devastatingly handsome men and women," Woerner said. "They're beautiful and mysterious."
She contrasted early movie vampires with Eric Northman, the tall, Nordic bad-boy vampire from HBO's "True Blood."

"You want to be scared by ['Nosferatu's'] Count Orlock, and then you want him to go away," she said. "Eric, you want to spend all night with."

Ari's Note: Oh yes, please!!

"I do see a sense of the threatening vampire coming back," he said. "I think people are tired of the 'castrated' vampire, but that tends to be the adults 18 and up rather than the students who are reading 'Twilight' in high school and consider it the apex of romantic fiction."

A/N: Finally! I mean...veggie vamps?? *rolls eyes*

On the captions of some of the pics:

Pic 7 - The Lost Boys- "The movies tagline?--"Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire""

A/N: Exactly!

Pic 10 - Interview with the Vampire" - "Louis is the great-uncle of "Twilight's Edward Cullen - at odds with what he's become and clinging desperately to his decency and humanity"
A/N: Priceless. Though I admit I'd've loved to read Louis transition from sassy to the predator Akasha describes on "Queen of the Damned" (book, not movie, thx)
Pic 12 -Let the Right One In - "This chilling fil features Eli [...] it makes her both monstrous and sympathetic[...]"

A/N: I SO love Eli.

Because my love for vampires is like the slogan from Coppola's Dracula: "never dies"


Yes...I should keep on working. Back home tonight :D

I love vampires. As the song goes, “I just can’t hide it and I can’t deny it” *lol* and well, you my friends, know that very well.

Although I’ve written them (and hope to keep on doing so), I’m very weary when it comes to read them, and the reasons are a few:

1. My disappointment at Anne Rice’s turn on her Vampire Chronicles. When Lestat became a god, Louis tried to kill himself, Merrick was such a bitch, and Rowan Mayfair became Lestat’s lover I was like WTF? Of course, the list goes on, these are just samples. However, I have to admit, Pandora’s book, Armand’s and Marius’ saved my respect for the series.

2. Stephanie Meyer. Do I need to write more?

3. All the wacky movies out there. Have you seen Jhon Carpenter’s Vampires? Or that movie with Bon Jovi? Ewww. And of course, this list will go on too.


here goes the rest...tl )

All I see right now, is dragons. I'm happy, really; but I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the deadline, though I've written quite a lot by now. We'll see. *cross fingers*

Still, God loves me, new Dragon Wallpaper by Vladstudio here

On more wtf news, our friend, the one who gave us Dona, wants to give us another dog. I don't want to have a new dog right away (I'd much rather have a cat, but well, Vamp wouldn't let me), but it's also true that he seems like wants a dog, even if it's not of the same breed. *sigh* We'll see what happens with this.

As for what happened with LJ last week, it seems like things have calmed down, LJ is fixing the problem, I'm gonna wait 'till November when my account expires to make a decision, and it's to me, a matter of wait and see how things continue from now on. Some people are still acting in a very preposterous way, and some have even forgotten why all this began and what they wanted on the first place. Thank God there are still sensible people out there. Hopefully, LJ and 6A will get "infected" of their common sense and will start acting accordingly. Just in case, I got myself a greatest journal account, "ariadnem". Don't think I'll be using it though. I like my LJ account too much.
