can't have that. also, i was lazy today. but i am impressed by the quality of some of the homoerotic smut out there, it's rather better than i expected (now, i had very, very low expectations).
only thing? too damn many vampires. what is it with people's obsession with vamps?

that's right. the loss of the shared history, the relationship markers, and the ability to share them (as one of grandmothers used to call it 'polishing the memories'). I do a lot of other things with my active friends, but I still derive some enjoyment from playing remember when with acquaintances and friends from another time. I could see living forever (not easily bored, and oh so much shiny to look at and think about), but I think that it would do a number on my already often marginal social skills, and I enjoy people (for the most part, in limited exposures). each death is like (cliche alert) cutting off another piece of flesh.
