Christmas Gifts

This year, I was very blessed with gifts from my friends and associates of Area Five and far beyond. More gifts showed up on my door than this Viking was prepared for, but I appreciate the thought that went into each and every one of them.





@BarmaidSookie and I sent many gifts out ourselves. My lover worried endlessly about how much money was being spent as if it was a viable concern, but in the end, I believe we were both happy with what we chose, and I know we both enjoyed giving the gifts and seeing the reactions of our closest friends and family this Jul season.





When it came to giving a gift to Sookie, truly, I didn't know what to choose. My lover has given me everything, there is no way I can properly honor such. No matter what she may say, she is not an easy woman to shop for either, but nothing has ever been easy when it comes to her.

It was quite the strange predicament for a vampire such as I. Both my vampire children and my humans have always expected me to gift them in diamonds and extravagant gifts, attaching monetary value to my affections, or, in the case of some, to make up for my lack of affection. Sookie is never impressed by these kind of things, however, and would refuse them on sight, no matter how important it may be for me to be able to give her the things she has never had, yet always deserved.

Jul is not the season for such a battle, however. I managed to find a few pieces of understated, antique jewelry that reminded me of some of the pieces already tucked away in her jewelry boxes that I have stumbled upon when looking through her belongings as she slumbers. I collected odds and ends I thought she may enjoy or require for the new year, things that I trusted would show her that I know her and listen when she speaks. It is almost unthinkable that such is true for once. I cannot recall the last time I truly cared about the words my human may have been saying, especially if they occurred anywhere outside the bedroom. Sookie talks often of getting her Gran's garden in order once the weather improves. I hope now that when she does this work in the sunlight I will never know again, her mind will often wander back to me.



My lover, on the other hand, seemed to have no trouble choosing a gift for me, and I can safely say it is one of my favorites to receive of all time. The blanket (though quite unnecessary) she insisted is to keep me warm during my daytime death, but more than anything, I hope to see her wrapped up in it and nothing else on a very regular basis. The fact that she made it and the throw pillows she knows I collect herself actually causes a smile to curl upon my ancient lips. It is as if she put a piece of herself into the present and with it, none of the expensive linens I possess can even begin to compare.

The part of herself she put into the second half of her present is enough to cause my fangs to descend and for my body to seek out my telepath immediately upon sight. I had looked forward to putting the pictures in my office of Fangtasia so when I was forced to entertain the vermin, I would always be only a short distance away from the object of my desire, but Sookie insists no one can see them aside from me. Instead, they have been carefully placed upon my desk in my home office. Their presence makes it nearly impossible to accomplish any work, but I am hardly bothered by that fact.

I am one very fortunate vampire and I know it.

Holiday Cards





I was fortunate to receive many Christmas and Jul cards this season from friends. I truly enjoy the holiday season and the celebration that goes into it. I am pleased to see that I am far from the only one who does.

Santa's Midgets Visited Early

It may not be the holiday humans refer to as Christmas yet, but when I rose for the night tonight, I was greeted by gifts that made me feel as if it was.



@LaceyTB sent me these flip-flops, which I am so thankful to possess once more. I received a pair just like these for Valentine's Day from Lacey, but they were destroyed in a funeral pyre I made behind Fangtasia. They were my favorite of all flip-flops and the loss was quite devastating, so I am relieved to have another pair.




My favorite basket weaver, @AlyxConway, sent this basket and pair of flip-flops, which I must say, feel excellent to my Viking-sized feet. The basket is the perfect place for me to store my knitting yarn while I'm at @BarmaidSookie's home. I'll have to knit her a gift of appreciation as soon as possible.

Gift from the Evil One


Proof that @Sookeh is the best evil daughter a papapire could ask for. This is what she gave me for "Fangsgiving." I'm even proud she puns.

Holiday Gifts from the Tacketts



From @LaceyTB and @WestonTackett. I'll be adding these to @BarmaidSookie's tree when we decorate it on Wednesday.

Belated Thoughts on Father's Day




Dear Journal,

I have never thought much of Father's Day. I believe the purpose of the "holiday" is to congratulate males for successfully impregnating females by producing offspring. It's a relatively recent invention, something within the last hundred years or so, but apparently it is openly celebrated and acknowledged by many. I have never celebrated one before. To be honest, I never believed I would, but for once in my long existence, I was wrong (and it's the first time that happened, I swear to the gods).

I owe my adventure into Father's Day to none other than @Sookeh. I know even you must be puzzled by how I have come to be Sookeh's father, dear journal, but I once informed her that I had bedded her mother (true story), and, long story short, it was decided I was her father. Of course, I am well aware I can no longer produce children and have been unable to for the last thousand years, give or take a few decades, but I must admit, I felt a kinship to the Evil One from the very beginning. Not only is she wonderfully evil and perverse, but she finds nothing sacred and no one untouchable. Add into that equation that she has inherited a posterior as well admired as my own and I will forever consider her my evil daughter. After watching @BiancaNorthman bond with her by performing more than a fair share of cruel acts on completely innocent parties, I am positive she is as much my own as anyone else living or dead can claim to be.

For that reason alone, when I found out she intended on throwing me a Father's Day celebration, I could only look forward to it... as much as one can when they worry animal sacrifices may be involved, anyway. After having my car dismantled by Sookeh's neighbors in the Evil Trailer Park of Doom during her baby shower, I have decided to be prepared for anything when it comes to her celebrations. I had never heard of this "Chuck E. Cheese" place the event was being held at, but I was far from disappointed. The event was something I will not be forgetting for as long as I remain only as dead as I presently am.

It has taken me a while to fully gather my thoughts on the event that unfolded in Shreveport that night. Truth be told, I am still reeling in some ways, but I can only imagine it will help me finalize some thoughts if I simply get the events out on paper now.

My night began, as most do, with Bianca. @EricsButt seemed to possess a mind of it's own almost immediately upon my rising, but my mind was focused on the approaching event. Before we left my home to venture to the venue, Bianca presented me with a gift I can only say made me smile. It was a first edition of Shakespeare's First Folio, a book that included the first printing of The Taming of the Shrew. That play will forever hold a special place in my silent heart and I know the same is true for her as well. I can remember word for word the message she wrote upon the card she presented me with now. "You stopped my heart from the moment I met you, long before you turned me. I could ask for no better Maker than you, and hope more than anything to be by your side forever. Never forget that." I really do hope I never forget that, even if I sincerely doubt it now and then.

Along with @BarmaidSookie, we made our way to Chuck E. Cheese where many guests had already gathered including @WereLee, @JustMakenna, @DeviousLucas, @TaliaPerrault, @RyderHard, @RomanLucious, @were_lucian, @SaraElle69, and @EmoPam. Even @PrinceVladTepes managed to show up in order to slay many of the amusement park-like games the establishment offered just as he slayed my washer and dryer (at least, that was what he did before breaking @pamiravencroft's arm and fucking Bianca at the party, but that is entirely another entry on it's own). @AbiStewart, who had already gifted me with a present that brought a smile to my face, blessed me with an additional gift by finding and dragging along my nearly-constantly downtimed newborn, @NolanFerrior. I was pleased to see my future progeny, @LaceyTB, among the crowd as well (though how in the future her turning will be is again, another entry all it's own). @CalienteChloe was hard to miss among the celebrators as well. I felt her eyes glued to my ass the moment I stepped foot in the oversized rodent's den. She seemed a strange mixture of happy and incredibly sad, but her situation is rather unique, to say the least.

For the first time since their births and the destruction of my last Corvette, I saw @AshnSugarbaby. Already they have gotten so big, sometimes it is difficult to remember how quickly tiny humans grow. At least, Sugarbaby has grown. Ash is a runt and a midget, one I am certain Sugarbaby, the obviously superior twin, will eventually consume. I have my fingers crossed she'll put the thing named after @DavidCallum out of his misery before they ever reach a year old. @VampyJo, who gifted me with tickets to a Colts game, brought her and the Were's infant, @WereBabyLily along as well, so there were teacups galore present. I was reluctant to let Sugarbaby go, but I made an exception when the giant rat hosting the event informed me I was needed upon stage for a present.

And what a present it was.

I've always had a bit of a- what is it human's call such a thing?- crush on @EmoEricNorthman's assistant. @KamanaLei's a fairy, what sane vampire could resist? And that was before being gifted with the performance of a lifetime. The fairy had gotten wind that I have a certain fondness for capybaras ever since Nolan was rescued by one after he was thrown into a gator farm by Roman and I, and @CapyBrier still follows me around from time to time. I was treated to a lap dance by the exquisite smelling fae all while she was wearing a capybara mask. It was something I had certainly never experienced before, but I have to admit it, I liked it a whole lot.

After the fairy lap dance, things got a bit hazy for me, as it tends to be when that intoxicating aroma hangs in the air. The giant rodent expired quite unexpectantly somewhere near the bar. I remember EmoEric presented me with a present of livestock and I couldn't have been happier. The next thing I remember, I was being covered in butter and pushed through a tunnel into a pit of primary colored balls. The haze remains until some creature arose from the depths of the pit and scared all the townfolk away on a quest for the Lieutenant. I sent her after the Deputy instead before grabbing my gifts and heading out myself with Sookie, Nolan, and Chloe in tow.

Note to self: Get something to transport livestock. When squirrels are passing my vehicle, something is not right. I hereby pledge never to drive at half the speed of squirrel again.

Once I got the livestock to cooperate enough we made it to Chloe's dwelling, she kissed my ass. I don't mean kissed it as it is normally kissed by the Deputy and the masses, I mean she literally kissed my ass. I wonder if it tasted of butter after that ball pit. Needless to say, it was quite a way to end my night.

After such an adventure, I am sure of a few things. One, the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese contains horrendous secrets. Two, the capybara is superior to other large, alcoholic rodents. Three, Nolan really does need to wear a bell. Four, Sookeh will forever be my family.

I Love Me Some Blood Cookehs

They don't call me the Cookeh Monster for nothing.

Look what @werekai sent me, and all I had to do was part with enough blood to earn me a sweet pay day on the drug market. @RomanLucious got some too, but all he did was complain about Were smell and be emo in general. I intend on stealing his share when he's not looking.

Pimpin' Ain't Easy, Yo

This weekend, @FunSizeLT found a project for the pair of us... and that's finding a "good" man for @werekai. We've already eliminated the Amish (despite their abilities to build a mean barn) and monks, so it's only a matter of time before we find the ideal candidate.

In the meantime, Kai made us this so we fit the part.

And Lacey made me this to reflect my new title.

Being a pimp may not be easy, but damn, is it stylish.
