I always laugh when I read vampire fiction. Sorry, that was my best attempt at humor. Guess I'll go write something angsty. M

I really don't think that there is any universal "point". Religious beliefs play a substantial factor in a person's "point", but for some of us,it doesn't. "Love" is a nice idea too, but one that could be argued to be a biological attribute that doe…

…still sleeping…
…sleeping still…
…sleep…
…still…
