What Am I Missing???
Or, do I really fall for compliments so easily [:)]?
I would like to know which criteria for [url="http://www.gayrites.net/thanks.asp"]"fantasy man of the century"[/url] I am missing, and which ones do I so nicely slide into (kinky mental image quite intentional [:D]).

You don't get out in the light more, people gonna think you're a vampire.

Outdoors, nature, a long time ago, too long in fact.
Outdoors, out of my flat, basically Friday early evening-Sunday late evening [8D].

I'll try to find it; but not a promisse to read it as I am back on my Niel Gaiman diet, reading Bill Bryson's too funny for words Down Under, and am waiting and saving for the next gaming geekishness - Exalted: Fair Folk.

You might look for a copy of a recent book called "Fat White Vampire Blues," which is about exactly what the title says. It takes place in New Orleans, and blows Ms. Rice out of the water for sheer entertainment.

Well the movie was suprisingly good (Interview With A Vampire).
As for the books, Intervew was a nice vamp read, the second one Vampire Lestat was a bit better and also a very nice piece of vamp read, there is a third which I actually read and that one is horrible in my very-nit-humble opinion. Fourth - Tale of the Body Thief (I think) was so bad I gave up by page three, others are pretty much "hey this sells, let me write a lot, and in the process remove any quality and strength a standing trilogy could have".
Sunglasses After Dark, although not a classical vamp book, was very good and fun to read.
And, despite my lack of interest in Tad "let me set the stage for my book in 700 short pages, mostly involving a young stable boy doing stable-boy chores" Williams, his Child of an Ancient City simply rocks.

Shadow of the Vampire is a lot of fun, especially if you're familiar with the original Nosferatu. Francis Ford Coppolla's Dracula is also excellent, although the full title (Bram Stoker's Dracula) is misleading, as the film bears no more resemblance to the book than does any other film version. It actually owes a great deal to one of my favorite films of all time, Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bete (Beauty and the Beast). Every time I watch the Copolla film, I catch another visual borrowing from Cocteau. Copolla's film includes the pretty but horrible Keanu Reeves, who I think was used just to make Winona Ryder's acting look better.

Ranko - I'm currently re-reading "Dracula" as a run-up to Hallowe'en, and wrote my boyf down in New Orleans that I thought a vampire scene would be hot. Which is probably about as common as dirt down there, but see the above comment about the backwardness of Atlanta. I'm sure he's up for it, but I'm betting he can't do the accent. I always kind of preferred "Nosferatu" anyway, where he was (obviously) completely silent. Much spookier, but of course, I'm sitting here all damp and with my neck exposed thinking about your accent. Heeheehee.
Vampire myth and I are really big on each other [;)]. Heck, most of my close friends and I played the [url="http://www.white-wolf.com/"]old Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing[/url] at one point, and I'm pretty sure I could remember a few vamp books to recomend as a almost-must read (and I just say no to Ann Rice, thank you very much).
As far as movies go, the new Dracula is really good, I am still sad that I can't get the old Nosferatu anywhere, and still need to find time and mood to see the new one (In the Shadow of the Vampire?).
And the accent is a fake, South Slavs (don't know about the others) are pretty famous in lingustic circles as our languages are pretty "neutral" and allow us to pick up and speak other languages without the foreign accent (not that you don't have to learn or practice, it is just easier for us).

Ah, the Food Court. I always wanted to put little Burma-shave type signs in the deli cases (and, no, I am NOT old enough to actually remember Burma-shave signs). Anyway, the signs would have said, "Chicken salad/Or cheese low-fat/Please say, "Please"/Not, "Gimme dat!" (David - Which strange roommate did I have at that point? Vince the Wonder Twinkie? Kate the Lady Body-Builder? There were so many.)

I am Slavic, so I can do a really good Dracula English accent [8D], and have been practicing it a while ago. Also, I can do a pretty good Australian line of "Oy mate, oyoyoyoyo mate!".
Am Mr. only if it is followed by Cat after it, as that was waht I went by in the DJing times.
Will flirt with anyone as long as the other person keeps reminding me of my hotness [:)].
And yes, I am both cool, European and hot. And such a curse it is [:D].
Oh, and modes, yeah modest too.
I'd go on talking about my favorite subject, but it is 4.35 here, and I need to wake up in about three hours.
P.S. (to David)
As my e-mail will not come before Sunday just to let you know, stress levels are high, and chucking four days of work today because "I made one of the sites I'm building work, but it didn't look good enough" didn't help.

Hey, at least I was in the middle of a woodie! And now let's tell one on Chris, who used to work in the food Court at Strawbridge and Clothier in downtown Philadelphia, oh so many years ago. He would tell the story of the city denizens who would come in and demand, "Gimme summadem swimps!" Chris would dutifully ask, in his best, clenched-tooth pretend Mainline accent: "Would you prefer the cawk-tale sawce or the taw-tah sawce with that?" Inevitably, the denizen would reply: "Whu?" to which Chris would respond, dropping all pretense that he did not live in a flat with a strange roomate next to a parking lot in Sow-Fluffya (aka "South Philadelphia): "Do you want the red sauce or the white sauce?" Careful, Chris, my brain cells are still firing on all neurons and I have stories to tell, too ... [^] Full disclosure: Chris was the guy I was dating in 1989 when I met Randy during a vacation.

Princey-Poo-
Lovely to hear from you, and thank you for finding my get-up alluring and my writing amusing. And no, you cannot say either thing often enough.
It may be tired in SF, but Atlanta's a bit backward and trust me, it's never seen the like, and is in for a good mind-bending come Hallowe'en.
As to Ranko "doing gay wit" - He's European, therefor 1)automatically more sexy (wish I could hear his accent) and 2) not like our kissed-up Amurkin straight men, therefor more interesting, if somewhat confusing to one's (sigh) gaydar.
And David and I are years past serious flirting, although I've loved him ever since he put a condom over his entire head in the middle of Woodies' bar in Philly, ohhh so many years ago.
What Am I Missing???
Now boys - if you will - this is the oddest bit of shameless flirting I've seen in quite a while.
BTW gents, it's great to share the site with you. Thanks Mr. DGK for your inspiration. And Chris, David's correct, you are a frikkin' (my beaus favorite curse word) riot (and another BTW - I live in San Francisco, as you are probably aware, and I've seen your little costume at the opening night of the symphony more times than I care to remember. Gawd how terrible to have become so blase about these things. But you do look awfully cute in it.) As for Mr. Ranko - yes you are unavoidably damn sexy (donchya love being objectified?!), thank you for stepping in to save Mr. DGKs technical ass on this thing; plus you do "gay wit" really well which is actually very hot on a straight guy.

Now, Chris, we agreed that we would always be truthful in your forum and to say that whips are "not really my thing" is about as far from the truth as I am from hirsute.

Sometimes a gap in the drapes is just a gap in the drapes. It's not really my thing, but I suppose a whip could be arranged.
What Am I Missing???
Yes. I want to abnn myself, chop my hair of and burn my eyes (for David: I am joking, playing nicely...).
The gap between the two drapes looked like a whip for a good, long while there.

Yeah, Ranko! Why is that? Do we have to move this post to the tech support forum? However, in the interest of all concerned, here's the photo to which Chris refers: www.GayRites.net/images/spacetrooper.jpg

We are playing nicely; if we aren't I'd like to know because I missed the memo.
The easy way of image inesrtion (into posts I figure): When the reply page openes, find Format Mode and select Prompt. Then in the Format line find this icon[img]http://www.gayrites.net/forum/images/icon_editor_image.gif[/img], click, enter the full url to the image.

Because it isn't up. There is always something better to work on; not to mention that it turned into a pretty testing ground.
