Writer's Block: The Eternal Nocturnal Struggle

Werewolves.

Vampires are individuals in need of orthodonture who pursue antisocial behaviors. Werewolves, on the other hand, are badasses.

ever doodled on a frog before?
frogs/werewolves: synonymous to badass. stick a thesaurus in a pond and open it to "badass", you'll find a tadpole entry. the wolf will be long gone, but the frog and he are friends and Frenchie'll be keeping guard for him. best make sure it's waterproof first though.

frogs > werewolves > vampires.

A waterproof thesaurus would be unbelievably useful, though. Humankind could probably sustain indefinite submarine life if necessary as long as there were waterproof thesauruses.

'Course! We always harbour the power to develop logoleptical nautical systems within ourselves; we just never realise that we do! Because Words are Good. Are words the truth? Maybe not. Is the truth good? If the words are truthful, then it must be, because they're epitomical of Goodness. Ha. I don't think I know what epitomical means, and I don't think it belongs in a dictionary either, so kudos to you if you can make sense of my 9 o'clock ramblings.

Vampires have bad press in my book, ever since Stephenie Meyer appeared on the scene. Prefer to stay well clear of that area. What is 'twilight' to you? But I have nothing against bloodsuckers. Admirable creatures.

Are you, perhaps, a descendant of Gavrilo Princip? You could be the great-great-great granddaughter of an infamous murderer!!

Twilight is... gross. I watched about 45% of the movie, then had to give up. It's about a girl with no personality who falls for a guy because he's a jerk to her in Biology. For me it's not even worthy of "guilty pleasure" status; it's, like, "do you want to spend 3 hours swearing at the screen?"

I'm nobody's descendant. My great-grandmother once claimed that "the Hope Diamond was in the family" in some century other than our own, but now we're un-rich because we live in Michigan. Marija Princip is actually Gavrilo Princip's mom's name.

But if I had to be somebody's descendant, I'd like to be a murderer's descendant. Our blood would run high in choler, as Elizabethans said, and the temperament would be creative and outrageous.

Ah Michigan. Where all the un-millionaires go. I know it well. Not really, I don't know what Michigan is, is it one of your states? Or a city? Or a hamlet? A cave? What's in it?

Whenever I tell people I liked the film better than the book, they react as I've committed a heinous crime and shoot me horrified how-could-you looks. I survive them but I've learnt to keep quiet about my highly controversial opinions around Twilight fans. I bought the first three books in Waterstones (£21!) and read them all and now they are in other people's houses and I refuse to take them back.

Like Grenouille! Obsessed with scent, wicked of soul, even though he had no choice. I wonder if anyone fell in love with Grenouille; they must have. Or painted a picture of him. There are probably Grenouille cults everywhere. Patrick Suskind must be quite the millionaire. Have you read it? He probably doesn't live in Michigan then.
