A friend of mine who is a teacher–let’s say kids from about 5 to about 8–found this one day. She doesn’t know who made it, there is no identifying information on it. It is a small book–the sort little kids make, you know, paper folded over. The title of this book is

anyway I’m browsing vampire fetish forums like I usually do to cheer myself up and this girl asked if there are any hot vampire dudes out there looking to hook up or if they’re simply too hard to find and someone replied “Not With a body like your you just got to find one. I am not vampire but I am not mortal. I am Tuath Dé. you are cute message me”
