I turned 27 three days ago. Usually Socrates reminds me - I get distracted and I don't realize my birthday is passing. This year it was cars and curses. I've been repairing the body and engine of an off-roading vehicle, and the smell of the blood in the backseat the work has been engrossing. He gave me a pair of seashell earrings last year, ones

I suppose I ought to wish you happy birthday, Saya.

[byweavinglives]

That is the polite thing to do.

Hello, Will. Would you like some cake?

[bitesvampires]

And yet manners aren't always appreciated.

I wouldn't say no - I'm sure you've heard it, haven't you? That the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

It's faster through the ribcage.

Why, Miss Wallace, I'm almost shocked by the implied violence.

[byweavinglives]

It's just a fact.

Did you know Mr. Ryves?

I'd wanted to go off on a tangent about Englishmen - it was originally said about them, you know, which perhaps says a lot about their approach to food, but I can't say I want to think too much about the topic now.

He shared your face. He's gone now.

[bitesvampires]

Not enough to turn down food, if you were wondering.

Then he's fortunate. It's not often one's blessed with such a handsome visage.

Then you should come and get a slice of cake.

I don't think he used it to his advantage.

I'll be there presently.

Why do you think people are so hung up on the idea of sex?

Because it's enjoyable, I assume, and considered wholly perverse. Is there anything more satisfying than knowing innumerable amounts of people would frown upon your actions? Perhaps everyone wishes to become goblin men and goblin women - it sounds far more fun than being respectable, doesn't it?

That said, I don't know. Most people here are from a different time. It's almost funny how some things stay the same.

I like it. I have it. Explain the morality of denying myself the pleasure.

Private; unhackable

[bitesvampires]

I shan't, because it'd be wholly hypocritical - and it's not something I can indulge in by myself now, is it?

I don't understand why people say it in the first place.
