About Barbie
Hello..
I am 23 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 2 months ago and have seen it grow. I have been
active in other communities including the House Sekhemu which is primarily a
local house that has grown recently. 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.

Question: What is it that we as individuals need from another in order to
keep that even keel? How successful have you been in finding just that right
kind of relationship/s? If you have not been able to
yet find that kind of relationship, what are the difficulties that you have had
to confront and why? If you have that perfect blend, do
you think it is something that you will continue to have, or do you
think things may change?
Hello all!
I have been in a relationship with my donor for over 8 years. In that time, I've
had quite a few conflicts either with relationship problems, or problems arising
from my vampirism. I do not believe it is posible to actually have a perfect
blend when you are in a relationship, intimate or otherwise with your donor.
However, being sanguine, it is usually not a matter of choice, as blood being
given to you by another is as intimate as any other type of exchange in that
context. Difficulties that arise from being a vampire in a relationship with a
person who is a nonvampire, are pretty much normal I believe. The largest hurdle
that needs getting over is understanding from the person whom you share this
type of relationship. Intimate like no other, yet at the same time it's still a
physical act as much as any other. I am hoping that things will continue the
way they have with a certain level of sharing involved, and even with the little
arguements over what exactly feeding entails. I am still far better off than
some of my sanguine brothers and sisters. I cannot say that things will not
change ever, but for the moment, I believe I have a certain level of balance.
Eternal,
Barbie
