magical jumping beans. woooooooo
well so since my last entry i have killed the same bug 5 times, watched miss congeniality 2, and announced to k-t that my penis was so large that it wrapped around my legs 5 times EACH. wow. it takes SKILLS to be me. >.> heck ya! anyways. i am just going to quote maybe? yes. some nice paragraphs or so from Anne Rice's "interview with the vampire" <3
" "Now listen to me, Louis,' he said, and he lay down beside me now on the steps, hismovement so graceful and personal that at onceit made me think of a lover. I recoiled. But he put his arm around me and pulled me close to his chest. Never had i been this close tohim before, and in the dim light i could see the magnificant radiance of his eye and the unnatural mask of skin. As i tried to move, he pressed his right fingers against my lipsan said ' Be still. I am going to drain yu now to the very threshold of death, and i want you to be quiet, so quiet that you can almost hear the flow of blood through your veins, so quiet that you can hear the same flow of that same blood through mine. It is your conciousness, your will, which must keep you alive' I wanted to struggle but he pressed so hard with his fingers that he held my entire prone body in check; and as soon as i stopped my abortive attempt for rebellion, he sank his teeth into my neck"- Louis "the Vampire"
"How truely pathetic it is to describe these things which cannot truely be described, "he said, his voice low almost to a whisper. The boy sat frozen
"I saw nothing but that light when i drew his blood. And then this next thing, this next thing was...sound. A dull roar at first then a pounding like the pounding of a drum, growing louder and louder, as if some enormous creature were coming up on one slowly through a dark and alien forest, pounding as he came, a huge drum. And then there came the pounding if another drum, as if another giant were comping yards behind him, and each giant, intent on his own drum, gave no notice to the rythm of the other. The sound grew louder and louder until it seemed to fill not just my hearing but all of my senses, to be throbbing in my lips and fingers, in the flesh of my temples, in my veins. Above all, in my veins,drum and then the other drum; and then Lestat pulled his wrist free suddenly, and i opened my eyes and checked myself in a moment reaching for his wrist., grabbing it, forcing it back to my mouth at all costs; i checked myself because i realized that the drum was my heart, and the second drum had been his." The Vampire sighed. "Do you understand?"
"It was as if I had only jus been abe to see colors and shaes for the first time. I was so enthralled with the buttons on Lestat's black coat that i looked at nothing ese for a long time. Then Lestat began to laugh, and iheared laughter asi had never heared anything before. Hisheart i still heared like the beating of a drum, and now cam this metallic laughter. It was confusing. Each sound running into the next sound, like mingling reverberations of bells, until i learned to seperate sounds, and then they overlapped, ach soft but distinct, increasing but discrete. peals of laughter" The Vampire smiled with delight. "Peals of bells."
" ' Stop looking at my bttons, ; Lestat said. ' Go out there into the trees and rid yourself of all the human waste in your body, and don't fall so madly in love with the night that ou lose your way!'
that of course, was a wise command. When i saw the moon on the flagstones, i became so enamored with it that i must have spent an hour there. I passed my brother's oratory without so much as a thought of him, and standing among the cottenwod and oaks, I heard the night as if it were a chorus if whispering women, all beckoning me to their breasts. As for my body, it was not yet totally converted, and as soon as i became the least accustomed to the sounds and sights, i began to ache. I was dying as a human, yet completely alive as a vampire; and with my awakened senses, i had to preside over the death of my body with a certain discomfort and hen finally, fear."
"Give me the key. I could kill you now if chose, do you see?" And now i moved close to her and showed myself to her ore completely, so that she gasped and drew back, holding to the arm of her chair. " But i would not. I would die rather than kill you. I will die if you don't giveme such a key as i ask."
enough with the quotes. im tired. but i will point out that MOST of those are from early in the ook during Louis' change, correct? well that is because i find it to be the most meaningful part. the description is beautifully written and well thought out. it is so full of thought and emotion that i just love it. it makes you think of "would i be willing to give up everything i hold dear as a human and sacrifice it all to become truely alive as a vampire. to REALLY FEEL " i dunno. its something to think about.
