Bonjour Dreamwidth. Happy Monday morning.

Today is starting slow, lazy, and sleepy. I had a lie-in, and now some breakfast pastries with some coffee, listening to The Lowest Pair on Spotify and continuing to read Interview With The Vampire.

I thought it would be a pertinent point, before we get much further, to write an introduction to... well, moi. "I am the Vampire Lestat. I'm immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire-these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not."

Hello! I'm Nancy and I'm definitely one of the weird kids your parents warned you about. I'm 40 years old, I'm Neurodivergent, Wiccan, Goth and Queer AF (she/they). I'm recently divorced, no kids, moved into my own place 2 weeks ago and am working on figuring out this next stage of my life - who I am and who I want to be. I'm not sure what else to write as an introduction, this is harder than I thought it would be!

Maybe I should throw it open to questions... anything you would like to know about me?

My heart is a little bit broken this morning at the news that Anne Rice has passed away. I'm not usually affected by 'celebrity deaths' but Anne's Vampire Chronicles had such a profound impact on me when I was younger - they shaped my teens and into my early twenties: so much of my love of vampires, of horror, of the gothic, of the supernatural comes from those books.

I was 13 when it came out, and snuck into the cinema to see it with a couple of friends. We already had a reputation for being a bit weird, I loved vampires and this had Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt - we couldn't not see it. I fell IN LOVE with Lestat & Louis. I remember going to WH Smith on the way home and picking up copies of Interview With The Vampire, The Vampire Lestat & Queen Of The Damned.

And wow. If I thought I was in love with them? The books blew my teenage mind! I have yet to fall back out of love with them.

I started decorating yesterday and had planned on continuing today and into the couple of days off work I have next week but that has now been put on hold. I have picked up my 25+ year, very battered, many times re-read copy of Interview With The Vampire and got comfy on my big squishy new sofa to spend some time with my favourite fictional people.

RIP Anne.
Thank you for everything
