About Barbie



Hello..

I am 24 years old living in the Southernmost tip of Texas, I am a sanguine vampire awakened since the age of 12, or 6th grade. I am the co-editor of the Vampire Church Newsletter, and have been actively involved with the Vampire Church since August of 2000. I was made council in October of 2001 and have been working with the Newsletter since then. I am the Managing Director of the Texas Vampire Association which is headed by Damien Daville. I began in that role a few months ago and have seen it grow. I do not spend much time in the offline community due to the relative remoteness of where I live however, I do try to keep contact with other vampires in my area.

My perspective usually has to stem from my experiences being only sanguine, so my main points can only be made with that in mind, and with everyone knowing full out that whatever I can add on another form of vampirism, is only because I have heard those of the other sorts speaking and read some of their writings and thus have been able to make my own interpretation with their help and their experiences.... That being said...

On sanguine...Sanguine for most people, myself included is a very strong feed, and is long lasting unless your donor has little energies to start with, which leaves you in a position where you still get energies, just not as strong energies as you might like... this can be because your donor is tired or just not in the giving mood, energies contained in blood are usually very strong, and people who are mainly psy have commented that they like this method of feeding even if it is not as available to them as say empathic, or other sorts of energies...

On another note to that, psy feeders, or feeders of other types sometimes are not as able to take in sanguine energies as someone who is more in tune with them, as I think it requires some form of hmm... leaning towards being able to draw those energies effectively, otherwise it would be a very weak feed for a psy who is not apt to taking blood energies, this is from hearing different people tell me different things regarding sanguine feedings, which info I needed to write an article a while back ago...

Psy, or empath to me are feedings which require either large amounts of people or one person whom is actually willing to give off the energies for the vampire... uhh...empathic would be feeding from someone's emotions either willingly or unwillingly, causing the vampire to take on the other person's moods or emotions and to be energized, or not energized by them depending on the situation... While psy feeding is what would be considered the form of empathic feeding its not only empathic energies that can make up a psy feed for what I know, which isn't much because this isn't my area... from what I understand energies can be taken with either shields put in place to block out the unwanted energies when in a large crowd situation, or from a particular donor (thanks to Silver for her information regarding this topic)...

Uhhh, sexual energies are taken either during a sexual act, or during a sexual sort of act...if you follow, the energies from this feed are supposed to be spectacular from what I hear, (thanks a lot Dunya...lol) and it's supposed to be a long lasting feed...

Negative energy feeders take energies from negative situations, either through conflict or sadness or sympathy, or things of that nature... I think this particular form of feeding is supposed to be strong depending on the form it takes, and the ability of the vampire to take and process these energies without it taking them over (thanks to LA for her information regarding this form of vampirism)...

Ecclectic vampirism takes on several forms depending on the types of energies that the particular vampire needs at the particular time...(this is all from our good friend Justin, so thanks a lot Gray!). I've only been able to think of this in terms as an ecclectic vampire needs a salad of different types of energies in order to feel right...

Elemental is a form of vampirism which enables the vampire to take energies from the elements, which can include storms, wind, rocks, water, fire, etc... From what I know on this topic, I think it depends on which elements the vampire is able to tap into the easiest in order to really guage how strong a feeding would be to any elemental vampire (thanks be to Zaar and Dunya for their input over the years regarding this topic)...

Uhhm, think this would be about it regarding the different types and of course with vampirism there are many combinations and differences than those I have stated here and there will always be something new to pop up when you think you know just about everything, energy is the real constant within all these different feeding types and it is this that makes us all vampires (thank you very much Damien for the opportunity to hear from, and learn from different people regarding all types of vampirism)...

Hope thats not as complicated as I think it looks...any questions feel free to contact me...

Eternal,
Barbie
