I sat in a bar last night
Drinking, yet sober.
All around me the nightlife swirled;
People spoke to me,
But I didn't really hear them,
Girls flirted,
But I didn't really respond,
Music played,
But I didn't move to its rythmns.
Why?
Prey was there for me,
But I didn't take it.
Why?
Perhaps because what I really missed
Was you:
The Dark Angel,
The cup-companion I always needed,
Partner in adventure and restless search
For amusement.
Now I sit in a big empty room

Tears fall slowly down my cheeks
Wet, winding rivers cutting a path of pain
I never wanted to hurt you
Never meant to fall in love so easily
Time and distance play such cruel jokes
Separated by the many miles of ocean between us
And the span of years no one could understand
Once I told you, Never love me for I’ll only bring pain
You didn’t listen, couldn’t listen
Now your heart breaks the same as mine...
I want to feel your arms around me,
Feel your breath upon my skin
Hear your voice whisper in my ear

Are there vampires who dwell beneath the waters of the world, and if so, what myth, legends, and folk tales surround them? Are they normal vampires who just prefer water to the land? Are they blood-drinking mermaids? Are there any such vampires in fictional books or movies? To fully answer such questions, a whole book would be required. But let me give some telling examples.

July 23, 2008 (The Business Sheet / Hilary Lewis) -- HBO is trying an unconventional ad campaign to drum up interest for Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball's new vampire series True Blood. Specifically, they're using outdoor ads and vending machines schilling a bottled drink called Tru Blood.

Lisa Manderach was three weeks short of her thirtieth birthday when she went for a quick errand to Your Kidz & Mine, a new children's clothing store in Collegeville, Pennsylvania on September 10, 1995. She took her daughter, Devon, only nineteen months old, and that was the last time anyone saw either of them alive. The details of this case are from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
