Confessions of a Lurker

[Serenatta]

Hi, hello, how's everyone doing? Just your friendly-ish neighbourhood lurker here, thought I'd post on the forum to get myself a start. I have been reading and rereading the website for a couple months now, and just recently found out that there was a forum attached. Several minutes on the questionnaire, and here I am now. As for some information about me personally, I have just recently awakened as a born vampire (on my mother's birthday, in fact) and so many things started to click since then. To name a few things, I have been able to heal since an early age (I felt like I could and just. . . started doing it, I guess) and have very heightened senses, minus my inherent nearsightedness. The point on the website about calling people an idiot for bumping into me when I was clearly in the way is relatable beyond belief. I think I started suspecting myself of what I called "vampiric tendencies" about a year ago more or less as a joke because I didn't think we actually existed. . . Well, I was wrong. I was skeptical at first when I stumbled upon the site, but after seeing its contents such as "How to identify a vampire" or "How to know you're a vampire" along with the facts on the endogenous retrovirus made me rethink, as the more I thought about it the more I saw that it made sense, and that I did have these features, which up until now I found a way to blame on something else. I bought myself some steak and confirmed what I had suspected for a really long time. The feeling of having some closure is great, and I appreciate the efforts made by everyone in informing and helping people like me understand who they are.

Besides that, I take a great liking to cats (of which I have a lot), reading, writing, and sketching. Basic things, really. I've also been putting together some of my short stories lately and wondering wether or not I should publish them, so there's that. I don't really have much else to say in regards to myself, so thank you for your time, and hope to see you guys around ^_^

Cool, welcome to the forum, and I personally would love to see some of your work not only as a writer, but as an artist as well. I'm a bit of a sucker for that stuff

Hello and welcome, I relate to you on many things. Especially the intital skeptism, and how I would blame my vampire tendacies, that I know now to be vampiric, on something else. But still, welcome to the forum.

[Serenatta]

Why, thank you.
