It probably all started with Dracula and Bram Stoker. Actually, it was those Victorians and their fear of human sexuality I think. If it wasn’t for them, every author wrote about vampires there after wouldn’t feel the need to inject romance and humanization into their characters.   I am well aware of what I am, and it isn’t human. I’m a God damn monster. I will hunt you down without mercy...

...craze is still going strong... My mom was telling me about how the whole vampire thing started years ago when she lived in New York. Apparently, there was a club where people actually dressed up as vampires and attended at night. It got so crazy that people were actually biting each other on the neck and stuff.

I mean, taking a French class (or five) and translating the Old World French into English is one thing, but actually attempting to translate modern speaking-French is another thing entirely! It's gonna be really hard, but totally worth it! I've had this manga trilogy...

...year. I think I'm going to put my mad (Did I say 'mad'? I meant 'Okay' or 'shabby at best'.) French translating SKILLZ to good use and do a text translation of the French release of Osamu Tezuka's "Vampires".
