    you know my sister showed up at my house today and was speaking of the twilight series of books. apparently my niece is reading them. anyhoo she asks me if i ahve interview with the vampire cause she figures my niece who is 18 should read them. i couldnt help but laugh considering this discussion today. she looked at me like i was weird. i explained it to her but still i got 'the look'. the sad thing is though i have the vampire lestat and blackwood farm and blood and gold and all the other chronicles, but not as it turns out a copy of interview... :(

    my niece is 15 and is into the Twilight series....i gave her the first 3 of the Vampire Chronicles and she can't seem to get into them. she's interested, it's just so much to read, but i'm sure at 18 it's much different. maybe my niece will grow into them.

    and yeah, when i bring up the fact that something was mentioned on the Pit i get weird looks too...:o

    I know someone who's into the twilight series..that's stephanie meyers right? I think the vampire chronicles may be too sophisticated for some younger people... I just love Anne Rice's writing though..I always hope she writes another vampire chronicle but I think she kind of put it too rest..:(...

    I miss Lestat...

    lol

    well, i probably shouldn't mention the Pit just because you gotta be here to understand it, but i've never been good at keeping my own secrets.....at least i don't tell them my username. :D

    lestat always made me laugh with his arrogance.tale of the body thief i loved caused it showed that arrogance up with perfection.

    when vampires appear in my writing, the strongest one is always a female. :)

    yes, it's Stephanie Meyers. and i was really hoping my niece would be into them like i was at that age, but then again....i was a strange teenager so maybe it's good that she's not. i would read about Lestast and i swore he was real....i just didn't say that out loud. :o;) i do miss Lestat too...the brat prince, body switching, being a rockstar, etc....:D

    Are you a geek? Do your friends roll their eyes and shake their heads as you bore them rigid with monologues on your latest obsession? (except PJ, who could be bored by that? ;))
    Do you obsess over things that others would find boring? Are you the kind of person that likes to discuss the whys and wherefores of everything?
    for a long time I was obsessed with books on extreme mountain climbing and polar exploration... I still love them but it's been a while since I've uttered the drunken words 'but you don't understand... ' :o

    I was about 20 when I first read interview w/the vampire...I was in love w/Lestat...but yeah I kept that to myself..that's not only dorky but kinda weird...but I never had any claim on normalcy. :p

    you think thats geeky? back in the early 90s i read this book called vampires among us. it was basically about weird people in england :p :)who for whatever reason thought they were vamps. anyhoo one night during my reading of it i went to a basketball game at a small gym in the middle of parkland. to get there i had to get off at a train station, after a 2 hour trainride, that saw hardly any traffic of any kind. walk the streets in darkness, across a roadbridge and through the parkland to this rather rundown glorified shed. anyhoo on my return journey to the station after the game i felt this enormous feeling of strength. and to this day i believe it was because of that book. its not that i thought i was a vampire (cause that would make me ubergeeky) its just i felt untouchable. :)

    ah...thanks.

    yeah, I do too...I used to watch old dracula movies..some of them were cheesy but I always was fascinated with them. I like how everyone puts there own spin on it. I think there is going to be a vampire series on showtime...that's kind interesting.
