From Dr. Polidori's Lord Ruthven to Stephenie Meyer's Edward Cullen, the annals of vampire lore are filled with attractive, charming bloodsuckers. Which one would you most want to be bitten by?

GOD DAMN ANYONE BUT THAT DISGUSTING EDWARD THING OR ANOTHER MEYERPIRE. Vampires do not sparkle. If it sparkles, it is not a vampire. Kill it with fire. (I could write a 20-page rant about this.)

I have one vampire that I'd willingly give my blood to. Turn me into a vampire? Yes, if I can stay with him and terrorize the world and slay some Twitards. Insert here an evil laugh.
The one and only, Dracula. Bela Lugosi and Gary Oldman are both quite, umm, adorable as Dracula. See for yourself:

...I mean, come on, how can a teenage vampire whose only job in this world is to be SPARKLAAAYYYHHH ever be compared to something like that? That's not the very best picture of Bela as Dracula, but there aren't many good pictures. See the movie. Dracula, from the year 1931, and you'll know what vampires are all about.
Bela's death glare and Gary being almost overly dramatic... Oh, God. I also hate how Twitards say Edward is so ~romantic~ when he doesn't want to turn Bella into a vampire, but Gary's Dracula's pinky finger is more romantic than Edward.
I have crossed oceans of time to find you.
I... love you too much to condemn you.

Compared to our beloved overly bipolar "UUHHH I'M THE MONSTER YOU ARE MY LIFE NOW GO AWAY I'LL HURT YOU I LOVE YOU I WANT TO KILL YOU I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU ANYMORE OH GAWWWD I'LL HURT YOU" -Edward, well....  I have nothing to say but Dracula > Edward. In every single way.
Also, the actors. Robert Pattinson looks like a foot and the chair I'm sitting on has more emotions than him.

(For Twilight fans on my friends list: the utter dislike I feel towards calling Edward & others vampires doesn't stop me from wanting to write about them, or reading about them. Meyer's writing isn't that good, the characters are too... cardboard-like for my liking, and the movie was just... staring and panting, basically.)

...oh. I ended up ranting about Twilight. That's what happens. (You know, somewhere online someone wrote about vampires fearing the sunlight and then some idiot replied: "Oh, I thought they only sparkle?" Hence the anger.)

How great, I even have a suitable userpic.

Now I'm off to dismember idiots. Including myself.

It's Tax Day in the U.S., a day when the mind might be too occupied with deductions and long lines at the post office to think about poetry. But let's try: what's your favorite line of poetry? Song lyrics count.

Shit. I don't really have one, I like many, many lyrics. But currently my favorite must be Nine Inch Nails' In This Twilight. Especially I adore the bold part. There's always something very fragile about NIN's lyrics (if you don't count Closer and Big Man With A Gun and so on) but this song is taking the fragility to another level. The lyrics are inspiring and we all can interpret them the way we want to. Just... amazing.

Watch the sun as it crawls across a final time
And it feels like, like it was a friend
It is watching us, and the world we set on fire
Do you wonder if it feels the same?

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilight

Dust to dust, ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like, and I won't feel again
Night descends, could I have been a better person
If I could only do it all again


And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better place
In this twilight
