About Silver



Greetings,

My name is Silver, I am 37 years old, and reside in the United Kingdom in Southampton. During my time in this organisation, I have gone from being a list member, to a member, to a council member. I am extremely active within this organisation and deem it my heart and soul. Within the VC my functions are many, going from associate in charge of applications and interviews, to classes, public relations, and also a member of the zine staff.. These are my official duties as a council member..

I also run the UK/Europe offline office, as well as In Medias Res, which was founded by me for those residing within the UK/Europe. I feel it isn't so much the VC organization that I am dedicated to, but more to the people who frequent it and belong to it. If they need my help, I try to be there for them in any way that I can. Being an empathic vampire (although I have sanguine tendencies), my main method of energy gaining is through emotions, although I also psi feed quite alot. I am more active within the online community as being a single parent does not allow for an adult social life, but I do however keep in contact with several here in the UK and US via phone.

Greetings..

This is a very different question :o) I have to say, I have personally never once been interested in picking up, much less reading a book on vampires. To be perfectly honest, the whole idea of something along those lines never interested me. I guess you might say my thing was more along the lines of any kind of movie that had elements of the mediaeval era instead - that was where my interest was. As for vampire movies, I've seen several, and I found some kinda cool and others extremely boring. The odd thing is, I actually liked the Anne Rice ones, and thought original Blade was OK, but I REALLY thought Lost Boys was garbage - "Michaellllllll..be one of us Michael...Now you know what we are, now you know what YOU are, but YOU MUST FEED"....

As for why I liked the Anne Rice movies, I suppose they were made to seem appealing to this generation, having a lot of allure to them, especially QOTD which was set in a nowadays sense. The music was something which many of us listen to, the Goth subculture something that, even if some of us aren't a part of, we can certainly relate to it. Though I did find a lot of it to be pretentious, but even that was put to one side in an effort to enjoy the movies. As for Lost Boys, I just thought that was Hollywood at its worst , and the sheer fact that Kiefer Sutherland actually allowed himself to be a leading character within it just caused me to lose respect for his otherwise excellent acting capabilities. Perhaps he was having a low period in his life, and needed the money .

Best Regards,
Silver
