PLEASE PASS THE STAKE
My Okie friend Sharon, who has a quick wit, a checkered past, and an assortment of cats — and who hated me for the first year of our acquaintance (rightly so) — thought of some more abuse to heap on my vampire entry.
She says: "In the same vein, should we say that so far your blog sucks?"
Indeed.
Thank you, dear.

Wow! Comments work.
Let's see, what else sucks:
KU? Too easy.
J-W? Too obvious.
Darius Anderton? Yeah, DA sucks.
Hmm. Why was it right for Sharon to hate you for the first year of your acquaintance? Did I miss the boat? If I remember correctly, I liked you before I knew you.
I can't wait till the blockbuster post about that nosy friend Ben. He sounds really neat. Merciless honesty and relentless prying? Why does honesty need mercy? Why should prying relent? You've really piqued my interest.
I know, you're calling him nosy because his nostrils are so large.
Oh, and I think I forgot to tell you this: I'm very glad you have a blog. You may scoff, but I think it really is written in a different voice than I've heard you use before, and I will love to read it—so you had better post a whole lot more often than Zables or CL. How's that for unrelenting?
I suppose I should write shorter comments.
Sharon has very high standards. It took her a year to lower them. Once she did, her hatred for me melted away.
But you want honest? I think I was a tad arrogant — I know, I know, hard to fathom — and not as good at my job as I imagined myself to be. And she saw through me like a window.
So here is where the comments are. Since you are starting with vampires, your blog cannot be all bad.
From one the best little know albums of the 80s, “The Mekons Rock’n’Roll”:
late one night the club was heaving
I saw a vampire move across the floor,
old and white with a silver cane
lusting for youth through the mirror
So, you're saying people have to lower their standards to like you?
I think you're insulting my taste in friends.
I loved your first entry and feel bad that I bugged you to go see "Skeleton Key."
Cl, are you kidding? I LOVED Skeleton Key.
