Twilight

Being a fan of Vampires since reading 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice in 1991 I do actually like the new wave of vampires coming over us. I've seen True Blood and complety and utterly fallen in love with the splatter. Having only heard of Twilight (never even read the books) I have had it on my 'to-do-list' for a long time. Now I have seen it. And was disapointed.
How could I not be?
Vegetarian vampires?
Oh c'mon. What's that?

Even True Blood was on the edge of losing the concept but it's still fun and the sarcasm is flooding. I like that.

But Anne Rice was true to Bram Stokers and there's a certain 'rules' that just can't be forgotten. Vampires might just be a a fantasy caracter, but still - I am true to Anne Rice (even if she's no longer her self).

When I discovered vampires I did nothing but reading about them. I read thru everything Anne Rice written and then everything I could find after that.

The hightlight was going to the place where the original Dracula was written in Withby, UK. I could sense their presence and it was great. I went there twice, in the fall of 1995 and in the winter of 1996 and I really hope I can go back again, some day. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also such an inpiration being there. Seeing the remains of the abbey.

I was acused of having a a sexual orientation of some kind (never really knew what they meant) by this affection of vampires, but it never was. Vampires for me was another life, a community of outcasts that belong together.
Eternal life.
Immortal.
Yeah, it had nothing to do with sex, but everything to do with life. Not a cry for help, but a need of understanding.
