The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I’ve not been in the mood for writing of late. I have been reading journals and putting my tuppence in here and there but my heart just isn’t in it.

Too much seems to have happened in too short a time. I thought I was doing well with it all but obviously not.

My daughter is in Poland for a week, just catching up and spending time with her family. I love her phone calls and it’s the only thing keeping me sane right now.

My friends have been sweet but I am keeping them at arms length for now, I need ‘me’ time in a big big way.

A new job coming so soon after the loss of my father, I can’t begin to think about my stress levels. I seem to be smiling for everyone and it’s eating me inside.

Today starts the annual three day air-show and I just can’t be bothered to even stand by a window let alone go down to the beach to watch. The weather is crappy too! I hear the planes going over and I’m sat here watching a film. Yes the film … it’s Cheaper By The Dozen and I have never seen it. I’m lovin’ it and genuinely smiling. Another film nailed, at least I can watch the sequels and know the plots. 90 minutes or so of smiles. … and cries!

That there is blood in life

I would never deny

To you, my friend,

No stranger to Strife;

Yet still I dare we should decry

His hold that severs like a knife,

Bleeding love and joy, a cresting flood...

Because for you, my friend,

There is too much life yet in your blood -

Allow your heart time and it will mend.

So my other account has found a new home. Chateau Orleans. I have so much respect for the CM that she would never imagine. But that’s not why I joined.

So why choose such a coven? (That’s not really a coven the CM would have you know!)



I was into Anne Rice and her works long before I found this site, and I really got into her books. Sure I loved the vampire theme but the way she wrote about it .. it was like I was growing up in Orleans and as I read the pages of her books with wonderful descriptions of the homes they lived in which left nothing to the imagination yet that is exactly what it was, my imagination. The food she describes, I could smell it, taste it. I had hundreds of years of fictional history rambling through my head.

This probably speaks volumes for Anne Rice but this is not what I’m trying to convey here. This is about New Orleans.



One day G-d willing I will visit this great city. I want to walk in the French Quarter, visit the street that’s called Bourbon Street , although Jewish I’m not Kashrut (I don’t keep Kosher) which means I can stuff my face with creole food (I love shell fish), I want to see Jackson Square and snap a shot of Saint Louis Cathedral … I want I want …

So I guess my other account will feel at home! Thank you Anne Rice. Thank you Chateau Orleans.

:) Nice to have you with us.



I'd love to go to New Orleans too. Anne Rice made that place magical for me, and now, being in Chateau Orleans, I can learn what it's really like from someone who actually lives there. How cool is that!

Wow Sulks, you used the word 'magical', I think you kinda captured the right word.

Whilst I have a vision of Orleans that I'm happy and comfortable with I'm scared of visiting it and being disappointed.



xxEmaeraldxx .... how does she find time to be everywhere at the same time!!!????! lol

Thanks a lot, Bloodlife. Maybe if there is something specific you want a snapshot of you can let me know and I will capture it for you. I live *very* close to the French Quarter and a quick streetcar ride to the Garden District.

Wow some people are just lucky to live where they do, however one can say that about anyone if one likes where they live lol..



This is also a place I want to visit and I am looking forward to going, even though it wont be for a long time.

The funeral saw so many people, about 200 my brother estimated. It was good being among ‘family’ and old friends again. Things were strained with one of my brothers but no malice was there and we just nodded and accepted the situation. My eldest brother who I haven’t seen for about 14 years was another story. I was so angry with him but kept telling myself that this wasn’t the time or place. I didn't see him coming up the path with his entourage in tow until he was on me. He flung his arms around me and hugged me so damn tight that we both burst into tears. His smile told me everything would be okay but I knew different this time.

The so called entourage just happened to be two of his kids and some close friends. Seeing my eldest niece was incredible, now married with two kids of her own …. She looked just like my mum, she is 30 now and never left my side once she paid her respects.

My brother has seven kids, with the eldest three now married with kids of their own, yep, I’m a great uncle. They all went with my brother when he emigrated to Israel but I discovered that two of them are back in the UK and living here now.

So this story is far from over, I’m sure I’ll have more tales to tell.

Sadly, it is all too often we only meet family at weddings and funerals and make great promises to keep in touch, but somehow never seem to do. I hope thiis is not the case with you, and you have new fsmily life to discover :)
