My Little Vampire
FOUND by Kelsey in Rio Rancho, NM
I found this on a lonely bench at my school after a long, hard day. The simplest things can make you feel better, they really can.

We live in interesting times, when "my little vampire" is a term of endearment...but after all this is the Twilight generation...Interesting juxtaposition of "vampire" and "angel!" Well, they both have wings, I guess...

Am I off-base to think for some reason that this is a young lesbian relationship? I realise that both sexes could swap t-shirts without raising any eyebrows but still, that's the vibe I get. And then there are those magic words: "I believe we were meant to be." Hang onto that hope.

Yet it's interesting that the writer's capital Is all look like the number 1. Is this a subliminal message? "I am number 1 in my own life, no matter what"? In that case, "I promise this is forever, even through tough times" could make me say--I have my doubts.

Unless she's I Real Man.

This note is clingy and probably scared off the recipient. Yuck.
That hairy chested America Apparel briefs guy is mesmerizing...when was the last time I saw a man with a hairy chest in an ad? 1984?

I dunno, Basil. I can't stand that Twilight nonsense - I'm at least 15 years too old - but I'm a big fan of vampires, and that would have been quite the term of endearment in the social circles I teenaged in.

Vampires have wings? Oh, right. The bat thing. Never went for that. Though I do love a good Christopher Lee movie.

I thought it was about young lesbians too. Young vampire-loving lesbians, cute!

The first version:

"My little vampire... YOU SUCK THE HAPPINESS OUT OF MY LIFE. I'm tired of lying to you all the time! I'm not a lesbian! I thought that this shirt was my <i>boyfriend's</i> not YOURS. You freak!


P.S. I want my shirt back.

Sincerely,
Buffy."

LOL @ Con Brio!

I've never been a huge fan of Buffy and shows of that ilk, but Wellington Womble floored me once by asking: "If these people are supposedly angels and demons and so on...why do they need martial arts?" He's right. If they are "spirits" (evil or good), surely they would have even greater powers than Darth Vader? But of course, if they took the fights out, there wouldn't be a whole lot left but teen angst...

'we will always be alright at the end of the night ... but getting to that point will be a real pain in the neck.'

'Of all the little blood-sucking ...'

'This being a vampire thing really bites, don't it?'



But, speaking of Buffy, that's the show with the erudite LIBRARIAN, isn't it???

The most erudite librarian in any universe is the orangutan in Discworld.

No disrespeck to our resident Librarian, you understand.

Shanon and her boyfriend Mark had just had a vampire movie marathon. They watched all the vampire movies they could think of, and they sort of blurred together in Shanon's head. She was writing a love letter to Mark that mentioned vampires obviously, and then something about Angel because she was pretty sure in one of the movies there had been a vampire named Angel. They'd been in a hurry to get dressed the next morning so they accidentally put on each other's shirts, which worked out because they were about the same size.

This find really disturbs me:
1) Roommates' menstral cycles can syncronize to each other
2) Vampires drink blood
3) The people in this note might be lesbians

Ewww

Guess not - your note was discarded and is now on Found.

kaldonia in That little town where all the Ghosts live in GhostWhisperer. Don't you think there a lot of ghosts there? Oh, and depressed people.
I love you with everything I have. Which really sounds as though they are stealing each others clothes.
I promise this is forver. Even through tough times... Sunlight is a funny thing, you know. Like that time I opened your coffin after I had breakfast to give you the rest of my honeybun. I know that you will get used to the nub that used to be your left hand. Oops. Haha ;-[

Blaze, I don't think I've ever seen "teenage" used as a verb. But I like it.

Scared last night and overreacted... Hmm. (what'd the little angelic vampire actually try to do? What was your reaction?)

I'm sorry, but when I read "my little Vampire" the only mental image I get is little Jonathan Lipnicki in The Little Vampire.

And then, ovcoarse, the random synapses in my head force me to go back and read Geek's numbered list in Jonathan Lipnicki's voice like when he was in Jerry Maguire.
D'you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?
D'you know that bees and dogs can smell fear?
D'you know that Vampires drink blood?
D'you know that Roommates' menstrual cycles can synchronize to each other?
D'you know that The people in this note might be lesbians?

I... I can't compete with that.

Ohhhh, I can see how THIS day is gonna go.

Happy Happy Golden Birthday, Miss Ooh!

My first thoughts, too: two girls in a same-sex relationship.

Times can be tough when you are a vampire. Aren't they protected under some ADA law or PETA law or something?

+ April 10, 2009 10:19 AM +
Not sure about PETA, ADA laws, or the ASPCA, but I do know that

If I had a close vampire friend/lover, I would make sure I had Bactine with me at all times.
Just saying...

What a dumb way to write an I. I kept having to go back and reread because sentences like "one love you with everything one have" make no sense!

@ Not sure about PETA ... but the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) did issue a warning about using tiny little condoms over one's vampire fangs to avoid those nasty diseases from infected body fluids.

Really, who would want to live forever if they were also suffering from a terminal disease?

Could Queen Elizabeth be a vampire? "One loves you with everything one has." OK, so we THINK she doesn't go to NM very often, but hey--isn't Roswell in NM?

Anything can happen. And sometimes, it does.

This totally is a note. Each other's shirts?? No straight boy in the world would wear his friend's shirt to high school. Not to mention she was "scared" last night...probably a first timer...

TOTALLY HOT!!!

yay for discworld, lesbian vampires, and the pretty handwriting at the top.

is this because of the vampire comment from the previous find?

interesting.

Edward has pretty cursive handwriting like that.
The rest fits perfectly into the twilight story.
Except maybe the shirts, not so sure about that.

The note's a little weird. But I love their handwriting. Wish mine looked like that..

whether it's vampire love or lesbian love, at least it's love, and at least it's around. We need more of that in this horrid place.

i think they're lesbians too.

probably cute little goth lesbians who love vampires, and hopefully not the sparkly kind.

but i know a few straight boys who would wear a girl's shirt. especially straight goth boys. they tend to be more gender-bending about their clothing choices than 'normal' boys.
