Something's really going on with my body clock! Normally I am an early bird, chirping away (annoyingly) to all who will listen. These last few days, I've woken late and stayed up late into the night, often busy in my mind till midnight. Now you scoff, you night owls. I know some of you stay up till 3am! This idea is preposterous to me. Midnight is definitely late enough. I am 30, you know. My notion of a proper person's life hours is 8am till midnight. I shall try to get that schedule happening. Falling asleep at 10 is definitely not chic. Waking up late, you can't get much done. Do I suck - or what?
Last night I watched the Vampire movie, 'Let the Right One In'. It infiltrated my dreams with little blonde boys and girlish vampires. I liked it. It had a certain mystique. I wonder why Vampires are so popular right now? There are so many movies and TV shows about Vampires and by the way, I am not in any of them! This is a great disservice to Vampires the world around, for I feel I would make an excellent blood sucker. For one, I am passionate about the legends and the deadly beauty of Vampires. I was obsessed with Anne Rice in my late teens. I have ever so slightly vampire like teeth. I like being in movies and TV series. Surely this should qualify?? Alas, no. I've never even auditioned for a vampire. I will have to write this down in my list of things to do. I think our culture is obsessed with Vampires because they are invincible in some way and right now, post GFC, people feel more vulnerable than ever. Somehow, vampires make death seems cool. Obviously there is also the sexual sucking element. That raw passion, that many people in our society, who sit behind computer screens all day, seriously lack. Mostly, I think its because a Vampire is forced to live from passion. Ultimately, what could be more sexy or appealing than that? Unfortunately, I don't think Vampires count as proper people- but I'm willing to be proven otherwise.
