Random Thoughts

Sometimes as I sit in the parlor, day or night, the fire burning brightly, a Vampire either sitting on the couch watching TV or playing cards or their rest in their special place in our parlor, I catch something in the corner of my eye, a face staring at me....No, it is not a prowler, just some random someone peering in from the outside in the World Wide Web looking at the "furnishings" of the forum, news, speculations, the thoughtful posts and essays on the books and show and I wonder what they think about us, cozy and warm in our little spot in the internet.

I know some people love to live in the "projects" those places where there is little or no moderation, where members can speak to one another however they chose. But I wonder if they are ever curious about what it must be like to be one of the Council. To get to talk to Aolani or Fairy or Raki or God Speed or me and find out what really makes us tick. Why are we here and why is it so cozy. Excuse me a moment, be right back....

Sorry, Bill asked me a question about something he saw in the mythology thread. Anyhow, the only thing I can tell anyone is they just have to come in...We are sort of strange fangy Cheers Bar where you can get a bottle of Bud or a bottle of Tru:Blood and shoot the shit...or Vampires if they bother you or your friends.

And thus far we have been having an exciting time on our hiatus.....We have had to cure sick Vampires, and we are looking for a crazy Vamp and a Preacher and the excitement will carry us until we can get back to Bon Temps, where we belong...

That is the best thing about this thing, the internet. Sometimes, and just call me crazy, but I sometimes think...I will go and see Butter, see what she has on the stove, check out the bun...or Westexan and look at her house and play with the Kaiser....And then I realize they are a thousand miles away or more...Then suddenly, they are on the forum or the chat box or in this Parlor...Hey Raki!!! Where have you been?

And the parlor is always busy. Someone is always doing something...Hold on a moment....Like I said, always busy...

Pam looks so cute this evening...Back to what I was saying. On the forum, it is like we live in these little apartments, beautifully decorated, warm and cozy, with this major main lounge area we congregate in. Sort of like Friends....with fangs.... Hey Eric, how are things at Fangtasia?

So anyway, I still see those faces. Sometimes they are from Los Angeles, some are from New York, some are from England and Ireland...There was someone from Sweden peeking at us over the holidays...Wonder who that was? I hope they do more than peer in at us, I hope they open the door, introduce themselves, say howdy, and settle on the couch with Jessica or Alcide and tell us about themselves. Cuz I see you out there, shivering and cold. Come on in, it's warm inside....And we hardly ever bite....
