So many stories and movies romanticize the Vampire as the lonely yet seductive feline of the night. It's silly how many people long to be a Vampire, desiring that image regardless of the murderous nature. I should probably read Blindsight before getting into this conversation :)<BR/><BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740787063649889480.post-42200988829473137692007-11-02T13:22:00.000-04:002007-11-02T13:22:00.000-04:00Fraxas said...
