“Dear Abby,My boyfriend won't suck my blood. I've offered, I've cajoled. I've even begged, even though begging is totally humiliating and degrading because I'm so afraid that if he doesn't, he's going to die. Oh, and did I mention he's a vampire? No, really, the undead kind.Signed,Confused in Texas.Dear Confused:What the Fuck!?”

“I'm telling you this because you didn't ask. I've got it all here, growing like a tumor in my throat. I'm telling you because if I don't, I will choke on it. Everybody knows what happened, but nobody asks. And Elvis the EMT doesn't count because when he asked, he didn't even listen to me answer because he was listening to my sister's heart not beat with his stethoscope. I want to tell. It's mine to tell. Even if you didn't ask, you have to hear it.”

Heck, I've only been a vampire for less than a week! I've never even sucked blood” I ducked under the blade and backflipped away. „Really! You can ask my parents! My mum's a university professor, she's a very trustworthy character reference!”

“Infelizmente há sempre gente disposta a fazer o mal, mas nós temos que ser superiores a isso. (…) Sabe que há muita gente maldosa e invejosa. Pessoas dispostas a ferir quem está feliz, por ainda não terem encontrado o seu próprio caminho para a felicidade.”

“(…) sabia que de nada valia e que fosse qual fosse o lugar do mundo, as pessoas nunca seriam todas olhadas da mesma forma.”

“Just because I've gone and snagged myself a hot boyfriend doesn't mean I'm going to leave my bestfriend high and dry.”
