… Mine basically is a side blog’s worth. It’s all the posts I couldn’t reblog but couldn’t scroll past either! It’s approaching the same amount of posts I’ve actually posted ;A;
I’m curious now, how many drafts does everyone else have? Reblog with the number in the tags or as a comment.
Gothic Novels of the Twentieth Century, by Elsa J. Radcliffe. I don’t remember how I ran across a mention of this book on Google, but once I did, I was entranced and had to own it. Yes, it’s a list of gothic novels, by author, up to about 1978, with occasional snarky commentary.
What Ms. Radcliffe had to say about Interview with the Vampire:
Seems indicative of this generation when psycho-socio-philosophy creep even into the literature of horror-Gothic. The absurd lengths to which introspection may go are at last met in this study into the inner life of a vampire. Some of the details of vampire life elaborated upon I found repulsive and without redeeming social value. The whole thing just doesn’t come off, in my view – as seems to be true, now that I think of it, with most vampire stories.
Regarding the Nicki audio, it’s originally from an interview given to a french channel by ballet dancer Jonathan Klein, who took part in a french talent show competition around 2012. You can find the video the audio was taken from here: https://you tu.be/Rwl21dY2934
Cool! Yeah I would ask them myself but I’d probably have as much chance of getting a response from them as you would at this point, since it looks like they’re inactive 😛
But maybe another French speaker out there can listen to what he’s saying and figure it out based on context clues!
I would love some Nicki/Lestat action in whatever the next adaptation we get…

And I really do want to share more about myself, bc I am not, unfortunately, Tom Cruise from 1994. If I could be, I might be. But I very much am not. Idk tho, would I want to be a dude? Hmmmm… Better cancel that appointment with Raglan James…
1. I went to NOLA recently and my best friend graciously snapped this pic of me and my new boyfriend
Currently, I smile more for pics… I went through a phase where I thought I was as fat as Teddy here, I was definitely bigger but not that big… and that was an embarrassing time, I lost 30 lbs when I first moved to NY from
joining weight watchers and all the walking.
HIT THE JUMP FOR THE REST, bc images make it a LONG POST.
2. ROLLERBLADING
Yes, as a child of the early 90′s, I have always been into rollerblading when the weather’s appropriate for it. The challenge is in finding a place to do it, which is tough, bc there are little kids and dogs to be run over EVERYWHERE in the city.
Here I am equipped w/ wristguards bc I broke my left wrist on rollerblades about 10 yrs ago and I don’t need a repeat of that experience ever. Took this pic awhile ago, back when I was not smiling for selfies. Also featured: my actual real curly hair which I usually straighten bc of reasons I could go into if u really want to know.
I have also changed my couch covering since then, no more hot pink! But I do still have that blanket and use it when it gets bitter cold here.
3. Handmodeling
I have an off-and-on career as a hand model and even tho I hardly do it anymore (scheduling conflicts mostly), I really liked it, and I still think my hands are aesthetically pleasing. Like c’mon, look at those airplane-hangar shaped nails! 100% REAL.
4. NYC
As u may or may not have gathered by now, I live in New York City. It’s pretty cool. Yeah. I live on the West side, near Columbus Circle. So if there’s anything you need photographed in NYC, I might be willing to go do it for ya!
5. I CAN ONLY COOK A LIMITED MENU
But that menu includes very good French Toast. I have received rave reviews from actual foodies so I know it’s not just my bias. That’s turkey bacon with it. 10/10 would bang highly recommend.
If you want to know even MORE about me…
My policy with this blog is that it should only be VC-related… and that means I can’t be in it very much as a human, but maybe I should change that. Do you really want to know more about me?
I’m very approachable tho, so if you come off anon and message me privately, then I can feel more free to talk about myself w/out spamming my followers’ dashes! *u*
[And it was paired with an image that appears to be of model Tomek Szczukiecki][so maybe it’s him?]
Sorry to tell ya that I DON’T KNOW WHO THE AUDIO IS FROM ;A; AND THE ORIGINAL POST DIDN’T TAG HIM, EITHER. @devilsviolinist was the original poster and I’m not sure if that mun is active… try asking them and report back if you find out.
“…when I was twelve, and the old parish priest, who had taught me some poetry by rote and to read an anthem or two in Latin, wanted to send me to school at the nearby monastery.
My father said no, that I could learn all I needed in my own house…
My father was angry and reminded [my mother] that if this had happened before he went blind, his will would have prevailed surely. My brothers assured him that his youngest son wouldn’t be gone long. I’d come running home as soon as I was made to do something I didn’t want to do.
Well, I didn’t come running home. I loved the monastery school.
…Within a month I declared my vocation. I wanted to enter the order… frankly I thought my father would be glad to be rid of me.
But three days later my brothers arrived to take me home with them. I cried and begged to stay, but there was nothing the Father Superior could do.” – The Vampire Lestat
