Newsflash: I HATE Washing Dishes

Greetings all,

As you can see from the title of this article, its taking a bit of a different turn than my usual writings. But as it starts...I HATE washing dishes...

Here I stand with my fingers engulfed in Joy country lemon scented water with bubbles abounding... I hate washing dishes because I think... alot. Nothing like the mundane activities that require mindless repetition to get someone to do that...

Various things come to mind, why should *I* be washing dishes? Why can't it be like in the movies where all your chores are magically done and all you need to do is just wake up and yer rich, thin and clean? *Attempting to pop wayward bubble* But that's not how vampirism is... Everything mundane in life is exactly the same for a vampire as it is for everyone else, we all have our regular lives barring the one difference where we have to feed. *Where we swoop down on our unsuspecting prey and take their blood with no thought or care to what they're feeling because we have no emotions and we can do whatever we want and won't get caught!! Muahahahahaha!!* Why are there so many dishes left? (Grrr) I don’t' want to wash dishes no more!! *Thinks of sobbing* Uhh ok, so we don't swoop, we don't fly and we do have emotions, no killing either, no unsuspecting prey either...

As my ponderance over the bubblicious sink continues I myself wonder what this article's sposed to be about. Expectations. That's all it’s basically saying. When I first began my quest to search for the truth about my vampirism, my tendencies, I thought coming into the community I'd learn all the secrets of what a vampire is, maybe even learn that there's more to it than just needing energy. Hoping that after a brief bout of posting and learning, I'd be led to a well where my mentors would show me there was more... More than just needing energy, shielding, filtering... That I'd be led down a path by them that would show me all I would need to know. Expectations, and cruel reality. No, we're not all that special. No, we're not the keepers of some ancient secrets, and no, your mentors can't lead you down a path. Your mentors can only place you on your path, tell you what to watch out for, and let you go about it on your own. When you reach the ends of your journey, you'll find that you are much better for it. And those dishes? They'll never wash themselves.
