BLESSED ARE THE FORGETFUL
I’m thrilled to report that the Maenad seems to have left town.
Not sure whether it was coerced, defeated, killed, or simply got bored, but I’d like to wish it a hearty Bon Voyage all the same. With the creature’s exit, humans have returned to normal, at least relatively. They seem to have little memory of their actions, but have taken great pains to explain their recent acts nevertheless: aliens, mind control, a few are even specifically blaming a resident named Maryann Forrester for some reason.
Gotta love that human capacity for denial.
But as my title alludes (lifted from a quote by my favorite German philosopher for those who care to look it up), I can hardly blame them for it. Human life is so short, the burden of responsibility for each and every act would quickly prove overwhelming. Selective memory seems as good a solution as any.
Sometimes I wish vampires could share in that benefit. That we could forget-
No. One more night, Andrew. You promised yourself.
So yes, the humans have regained their minds and are mostly blissfully unaware. But in between concocting rationales, I certainly hope they also set aside some time for clean up. The town is a mess. Graffiti, litter, pieces of what I can only assume was once a pot roast- and that’s just on my front lawn.
On the plus side, emergency services seem to up and running, and if anyone is in need of a police officer, I can easily think of one recently reinstituted detective who’ll gladly answer the call. From what I understand, Planned Parenthood may also be in strict demand in the very near future. Naughty, naughty breathers. And don’t even get me started on the paint job the town sign –
I’m sorry. I can’t do this anymore. I’ll explain myself tomorrow.
I promise.

I’ll be worried until tomorrow, then. I would have thought that you’d be feeling better without the maenad, but if not then I certainly hope that whatever’s wrong turns out well.

I hope it/she, the maenad, merely left town. This whole thing was so entertaining. Though, I’m sure more so because it wasn’t taking place outside of my front door.

So Andrew is giving up. Going back to NY? Being a vampire aint all its cracked up to be?

Seasons over…Andrew is hibernating…

Andrew, please do not meet the sun. It is not worth it.

Andrew, Could be just battle worn or having VDSS..Vampire Delaid Stress Syndrome. We have to remember he is new to the ranks.2/3 of all Vampires don’t live the first year.
Andrew, you are young a Vampire and you were young in Human age when you were “brought over” So, just don’t sit around on your fangs. I am sure you wouldn’t anyway. A vampire got to do what a Vampire got to do. if you have to leave us, I will watch you on You Tube..BloodCopy
Sure the boards on that HBO have more people writting but they a breathers and know, no true Vampires. IF you do leave us, next time I write I will have been “turned” Lost the 10 pounds, got the boob job and ready to go.
Can’t wait till tomorrow to see what your have to say.

Seconding Jay’s advice, mate.

Do not allow oneself to become disheartened, because of the foolishness of others, dear one. There is truth all around us if you look hard enough. Be wary that there are those that desire illusion to take over.
Patience is a virtue we all could use. Patience does not come easy, it must be earned through diligence and our labors.
Just a little longer darling.

Dearest Marilyn,
Be careful what you wish for darling. Make peace with yourself as you are. The process is not the simplest or the most comfortable, and will cause other changes that you did not expect (or did not realize the extent). Changing the superficial is not important. It is merely a vessel. If one is not happy with the vessel, with all of the flaws, there is often something else deeper. That must be addressed before the transformation. The consequences of not addressing this now, can cause many unforseen complications. Much more difficult and complex than 10 little pounds or artificially filled breasts.

Has anyone here seen the Easter Bunny?

I really hope the stupid Maenad has been killed. It’s dangerous to us and it makes the really idiotic humans scared out of their minds. Not that they have very large and usable minds.

Why wont just one of you louisiana vampires or any vampire thats goodlooking anyway(male please) come make me a believer. Not talking about silly humans who think that they are vampire just because they are lost from this world so they cut on their friends, im talking to REAL vampires here.I have been here in louisiana all of my life and never even once came across an inkling of a feeling that anyone even in new orleans was a real undead vampire. So if you are real undead vampire, able to glamor me then what are you waiting for, where are you and why would you hide from one who is willing to work with you, of course if your real? I never said i want to be a vampire so dont mistake me, i said make me a believer.. I am just here in louisiana, lafayette louisiana that is, well near enough to lafayette, where are you, do you ever hang out on jefferson street on fridays or saturdays, if not , why? Thats where you might find me. But of course i doubt any of you REAL vampires will ever find me. Because you say you dont hang out with humans, whatever. That is nonsence. Be brave, i mean i know this site is just based on a series for HBO . but it got the attention of REAL vampires so, go along with it vampires, work toward getting your rights. Be brave and come hang out on jefferson st downtown lafayette la. Clubs all the way down jefferson. I will make you a deal, if you can deal? My deal is this, if you can find me, then if your glamor works on me, i’ll be ok with you biting me, if your glamor does not work then you have to buy my drinks for the rest of that night. Any serious takers, come you know you just cant resist a challenge, especially when blood is involved. Come on down all vamps welcome, invited what else can i say to get you so hot and interested that you WILL come here and deal with me. Just want proof for my own mind that you are indeed what you claim to be. We will have a great time come on over…
