Now that thats out of the way... This is not my first profile here, my other profile is CR8054. Why a second profile?? I don't know.... I am an ex railroader so I am somewhat shot out. First off, I am an older, newly awakened Human Living Vampire. No, I do not have fangs, I am not immortal. I feel I am a sanguinine/psychic vampire. I may also be slightly empathic as well. What does this mean?? I am like most of you out there. The only difference is that I need to feed off energy and the blood of others. I have a feeling I have been unconsciously doing this my entire life. I have come to Vampire Rave to explore this part of me and hopefully to develop the skills to mange my vampirism effectively so that I am doing this safely and properly.
I have been fascinated by vampires and vampirism all my life. I now wish to walk down the dark path as I feel I am destined to do.
Also, I am a male to female trans-person. I began transitioning via hormones in February with herbs and then started DIY RX hormones in May. I began the process of trying to go legit last month. I have gotten blood work done and have seen a clinical therapist. He told me that I was mentally stable enough to do HRT but as of this evening, my endocrinologist hasn't called me back. Its like I take two steps forward and one step back.
I was born and raised in Bergen County in Northern New Jersey and this is my home. I can't imagine living anywhere else. You can take the boy out of Jersey but you can't take the Jersey out of the boy. Prime example, my father has been living in Pennsylvania for a number of years and he wishes he could come back to New Jersey. While there are many bad things about Northern NJ, there are a lot of good things too, like the food. Some of the best diners and Italian Restaurants are located here. Heck one place I go to, two slices of pizza are almost the size of a whole pie and you can't finish a large sandwich, you have to take half of it home. While I sometimes hate all the traffic, there is so much life here, it just makes living in the sticks seem so lonely by comparison.
My main interests are railroads and photography and I spend most weekends out and about well....photographing trains. I am into American and railroad history as well. One final thing is tracing abandoned railroads either on site or by google maps. Its amazing how some railroads, abandoned for years can still be traced from up above, even if the property has been re developed.
My tastes in music are generally rock and heavy metal with a tiny bit of punk mixed in. I pretty much dislike anything after the 1990's. Whats with this "hip hop" and synthesized stuff anyway??
As for myself, I am 45 and never married. I am on disability due to heart issues and I am also primary caregiver to my mother who suffers from vascular dementia and maybe even alzheimers at this point. Taking care of mom is almost a full time job. I have a home health aide that comes in for a few hours five days a week. I do get out, especially on weekends. I manage to take some day trips out to PA or upstate New york a couple of times a month. As for Mrs Right. I have pretty much given up on that search. I'm just getting too old to start a family and could never afford to provide for a girlfriend, wife or family on my meager stipend from disability. Its not the best life but its the only one I've got.
As for ratings, I will always rate a 9 or 10 if you have put some effort into your profile. If you don't, you won't get a 9 or 10 but I never rate less than 7, UNLESS your profile is suspended. Then its a 1. Sorry but I just cant give kudos to those who don't play by the rules. If you have made improvements to your profile and want me to re-rate you, please send me a message and I will do so. I will always rate portfolios a 10. If you rate me and my profile well and add my journal, I will return the favor. If I somehow miss your rating, simply message me and I will then return the favor.
Sincerely,
Elena.
