WHERE I FIT INTO THE WORLD AFTER THE GREAT REVELATION
Do you believe in the vampire virus theory? Not sure, what is the evidence to back this up. I generally like to view data and scientific studies before making a definite decision.
If no, what theory do you believe in?
What is your general opinion of vampires? I can see no reason why vampires (if not harming anyone) should not be allowed to be completely normal members of society. To each his own, is my personal philosophy.
DO YOU SUPPORT THE AMERICAN VAMPIRELEAGUE OR FELLOWSHIP OF THE SUN?
SUPPORT THE AVL? Yes
SUPPORT FoS? No, religious fanaticism generally causes more harm than good.
Why do you support the AVL?Like any progressive political activists group, they strive (with much opposition and the best of intentions) to acquire something which few have and many long for: individual freedom and the right to life (perhaps not in the case of vampires) liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Why do you support FoS?
Why do you support the Vampire Rights Act?Everyone deserves a chance at equality, especially when so many people in the today are just taking their rights for granted.
Biggest fears about vampires:
Definition of a vampire:Life challenged individuals.
Definition of a vampire:
Do you have any prejudices against vampires? No, who am I to judge something I have no first-hand experience with.
Do you believe in anyother supernatural creatures? Yes
If so which ones? Any and all. Because to quote Ben Hawkins from Carnivale "Anything's impossible til it ain't"
ARE YOU A VAMPIRE?
IF YES...
IF NO....
Supernatural charm(s):
Do you have fangs?
What do you feed on?
How often do you feed?
How long have you been a vampire?
Who turned you?
Who have you turned?
Are you a fangbanger? The oppotunity hasn't arisen, but I suppose I would not object to the idea.
IF YES...
IF NO....
What attracts you to vampires? Old world customs (chivalry), chance for danger, a deep hidden pain from many lives-worth of emotional torture, their thirst to recapture the life that had escaped them, their pale skin LOL, etc.
What are you? A human being.
How many vampire lovers have you had? None
Supernatural charm(s): Ability to cook, great sense of smell, dark sense of humor.
Dream lovers? William Compton
Vulnerabilities: The face my dog makes when he knows he's done something wrong, sweet food, foreign films.

BTM's MASH Courtesy of Mauradress on the Merlotte's Thread
MASH: Shack Marrying: Martin Freeman (The Office UK) Vehicle: Time Machine Wedding Night Toy: nipple clamps Les Lover: Shane (The L Word) Creature: Polymorphic Blob Kid's Creature: Satan Affair: Louis Garrel Disease: Capgras Delusion Story: (wow this is going to be weird, lol)
MARTIN FREEMAN was staring at a POLYMORPHIC BLOB on the floor. 'Why does this always have to happen???' he thought to himself. He had just proposed to BTM, and her reaction to all things emotional was to turn into a POLYMORPHIC BLOB. She couldn't control it. After a few minutes, she reformed, and told MARTIN that she would be incredibly happy to be his bride. They set a wedding date for six months in the future.
The next week, BTM was hanging out with SHANE, whom had been buddies with her ever since the Hugo Boss underwear shoot. They had laughed that day, knowing that SHANE really liked doing the ad, even if she acted like she regretted it. SHANE and BTM were chilling at the Planet that day as MARTIN walked past the shop. 'Sh*t!' BTM and SHANE said at once, and BTM immediately turned into a POLYMORPHIC BLOB but MARTIN thought he saw her, so he ran into the Planet, and his eyes feel on SHANE. He gave her a 'look' like he knew what she was up to, and his eyes shifted to the restroom, where he saw the tail end of a POLYMORPHIC BLOB sliding under the door.
He barged into the bathroom, and scooped up the BLOB with a few Styrofoam cups, and rushed outside. He had parked the TIME MACHINE just a block away from the Planet. He knew that if he didn't marry BTM now, he would end up alone, and BTM would end up with SHANE. So he threw the cups into the TIME MACHINE and turned it to the day of their wedding. BTM was shocked, but she knew it was just lust for SHANE, not the love, like she had with MARTIN that made her want SHANE.
So they got married, and enjoyed the NIPPLE CLAMP later that night, a wedding present from SHANE, obviously. There were a few BLOB moments, but all in all, the wedding night was a beautiful thing. BTM knew she had a problem. She would go through fits of CAPGRAS DELUSION, a disease she had ever since childhood. One night, as she lay next to MARTIN, she began imagine SATAN pretending to be MARTIN....she flipped out, and ran away from her home, spending the night at SHANE'S for a few days. She didn't know what to do, she thought she could be pregnant. With SATAN'S child???
She flew to the streets in delusion and BLOB-I-NESS. She needed to get this baby out! As she stumbled into a dark alley, LOUIS GARREL stopped her from going further. He spoke to her in French, which comforted BTM. As she settled down, she told LOUIS her story, which oddly enough, didn't turn him away. He knew she was vulnerable, and took advantage of that. Nine months later, she ended up having LOUIS' child, not MARTINS. She cradled the baby in her arms...which turned her into a BLOB, dropping her baby. The baby had died, but BTM made a deal with SATAN, who was a sneak, and inhabited the body of her baby.
BTM, sadly, went crazy. She had SATAN as a baby, and therefore had lost MARTIN forever. But MARTIN was too good and adorable and loyal to leave BTM, and decided that a quick jump in the TIME MACHINE would fix their problem. So, he scooped the then BLOB up, jumped in the TIME MACHINE, and returned to the wedding day. But he reflected upon the situation during the ride into the past…
"Maybe we shouldn't get married," he quietly sobbed. BTM sobbed too. "Your life is too weird for me to handle..." and he left her standing at the altar.
Luckily, SHANE, who was in the second row, dashed to her, and swept her off her feet. SHANE and BTM lived happily ever after, in sunny California!
