I have known about and loved tales of the regular type of vampires for years. They have always fascinated me. I have seen about all of the old movies and I grew up reading comic books. They were the best. When I got older the charm of the old Hammer films kept my interest, but they still lacked special effects and the look of real people. Somehow, I think they were overdone in some aspects and, well, raw in other areas. I was glad when Hollywood grew up and got the computers in on the act. I haven't lost interest in vampires over the years, for some weird reason. I guess they fascinate me now because I am an adult and I understand the romance of these creatures. I've branched out in my vampire interest too, to reading contemporary authors like Anne Rice. She's a real romantic about them. I recently gained access to the internet and I thought I'd try my luck at finding out some new stuff about the age old legend of vampires. You know what I found. I found Les Vampires. At Les Vampires, I initially just wanted to see what others were fascinated with about the vampires. I thought it was a neat thing to be associated with an interest group that had vampires as their interest. I figured I'd find some Goths who were making up their fasces and wearing black garments to get attention and maybe give some mystique to their personalities. This is not what I found at Les Vampires. I found down-to-Earth people who had a genuine interest in the legends and myths about vampires and I found that I was a lot like what a psy-vampire is described to be. I found one other thing too, though. I found that some people perceive themnselves as mortal vampires. I was, at first, very skeptical. You know this to be a fact because you were somewhat upset that I had discounted the reasoning behind the mortal vampire. I have a very open mind and I am always genuinely interested in learning about new and different philosophies. When you took the time to write to me via e-mail to enlighten me about the mortal vampire, I was impressed. I knew that you took your understanding of this as seriously as I had not. When I read your empassioned statements, I knew that I would probably learn something from you sooner or later that I could understand. After many chats at Les Vampires and many other meetings online via the likes of ICQ, I have learned that mortal vampires are like a lot of other things... a definite possible. I no longer question their existence. Were I to do so, I would have to question the possibilities of my basic beliefs and I have great faith in them. I would learn more about mortal vampires, so I associate myself with those who would be mortal vampires. The mortal vampire is still somewhat of a mystery to me, I must say. But, I can understand the philosophy and the feelings of being different. I lack only the medical knowledge that will substantiate such a condition. I think that we all are looking for the same thing at this point, though. I just wish us all well in our endeavours to help those who have the hunger. Sincerely, Harry "EARON" Barnes | |
