Hey there here's Vilentina
Hi all. Here is Vilentina from China. Not very native English.

Well my interest in Gothic started from vampires. Well well well, not the Twilight vampires, nor Vampire diaries nor True Blood, I should claim. My real passion is in The Vampire Chronicles, particularly in Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat. That's all of me in vampires... Have a nice day...

If it ends like this it should be very sad.

So I hope here I can explore a lot more.

The registration quetion is interesting. What day is Halloween? It should be the most important day in a year... I like Ruby Gloom and Victoria Arts, and more. Nice to know you all. Here is just a simple introduction of myself...

Welcome, Vilentina. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Could you tell us a little more about yourself like: What kind of music do you like? Who are your favourite authors? etc.

Music...
I dont have a typical genre... I guess I like the Secret Garden, Coldplay, Beatles, DianaKrall and some Chinese singers... Whatever I feel sad or passion. In classic field, I think the piano music by Bach and that feels like sunlight which Vampires desires...

I like drawing and painting but that's not my profession. Currently I'm in University and learning something I don't like at all.

Favourite author... I think Tolkien could count one. Anne Rice, in vampire novels. When I was young I was once crazy in the saga of DarrenShan but I like the story not the style. I don't read as much as before now so it's hard to say. Neil Gaimen's stories are fantastic but I've only seen the movies. That's it.

Your english is quite good. You should definitely read Neil Gaiman's books. Start with American Gods. You'll like it.

I come to this site partially because I've been possessed in Vampires since I read Interview with the Vampire 6 years ago. Another reason is that the vampire lover's site I've been active in (in Chinese) has been cooling down in recent years. A third one is that I want to practice my English... Nice to meet you!

Anyone who can list Coldplay, Beatles, Diana Krall and Bach in their musical tastes has my interest.

Alan's right about your English. He's also right about Gaiman ... if you think the movies are good, you are cheating yourself by not reading the books!



Welcome to this place. I look forward to your contributions.

What are you studying and why continue if you don't like it?

...I thought diana krall, coldplay and bach are so different... But coldplay might be close to beatles, at least.

For neil gaiman, i guess it's just that I dont have the right kind of mood to read really great work currently.

For the profession... I'm doing accounting and I guess hardly anyone on earth do it because he likes it. One good thing shoule be that I dont have to worry about what if I lost interest one day. If I do design I have to seriously consider that.
