About Me


Taurus Sun | Scorpio Moon | Gemini Ascendant | Myers Briggs: INTJ
I am a Vampire.
I am a loyal member of the Temple of the Vampire.
I aspire to be worthy in the eyes of the Undead Gods Who rule the Temple.
They expect me to not advocate or involve myself with crime or physical blood drinking.
They view blood drinkers as self-deluded at best and mentally unbalanced at worst.
Crime is commonly associated with such practices and is therefore rejected by Them.
They view crime as a confession of personal weakness.
They view mere “energy” drinkers as incomplete.
True Vampirism requires the completion of the Lifeforce Circuit with the Undead Gods.
Anything less is meaningless and ephemeral in its value.
The Temple is unique.
This is the only true Vampire religion in the world.
The Temple of the Vampire remains the only authorized public access to this religion.
www.vampiretemple.com is the only authorized Temple internet connection.
The Temple does not recognize any other person or organization claiming to be Vampire.
Do not be fooled.

Death be not proud
Though some have called thee Mighty and dreadfull, thou art not so
For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor death; nor canst thou kill me
From rest and sleep which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow
And soonest our best men with thee dost go
Rest of their bones and souls delivery
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell
And poppy, or charmes can make us sleep as well
And better then thy stroke
Why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, We Wake Eternally
And death shall be no more
Death, thou shalt die.
- John Donne

Oh, and humor... I kind of dig humor.

I'd like to meet:

Please Note:

I expect all those asking to be my friend and on my friends list to be responsible, adult members of society (that means no minors). I will not accept members to my friends list who condone acts which are illegal in this country or the country in which that potential "friend" resides. I do not and will never condone illegal, irresponsible behavior such as using illegal drugs, committing acts of unjustified violence, drinking blood, participating in cannibalism, or anything of that nature. Please note this before asking me to be your "friend." And if you are denied by me, this is likely the reason why I have done so. Thank you.
