It's funny how people sometimes come up with weird ideas that the supernatural goes out of its way to hide. Like yeah, a few centuries ago. But now... well, I’m not exactly living off the grid, am I? And well, can’t really hide my status. Not unless I want medical professionals to freak out at me. Or not unless I wanna be pinched for stealing a dead guy’s identity. Yeah, this isn’t the time for masquerades. It just doesn’t work anymore.

I really do need a new car. At least if I'm gonna continue driving through 5 states (Texas included) on the regular to see my girlfriend. And in this season especially, with weather going from "engine-scorchingly hot and dry" to "chassis-rustingly hot and humid"

[boredzoomerpire]

I need to grab Oblivion soon as it's on sale. To make myself as a pirate (in jail for it) who helps save the world by accident. If I ever did that in real life it'd be by total accident. Idk. Accidentally running into the incognito secret agent carrying a code that can cause Doomsday and making the code fall into a puddle and become unreadablr.

[boredzoomerpire]

Thank whatever gods don't hate me for weekends.

[boredzoomerpire]

Aaand got quiet again.

Sorry folks, work's been kicking my ass. Had to physically keep assholes from attacking the other cashier twice, and myself once. Thos place needs to ramp up the security

[boredzoomerpire]

Though it would be a dream to have witnessed and done certain things

...then I remember it’s the movie version. LOL. But do sign me up for any exploration and adventuring job you can find. You are likely to need someone with sharp eyes and sharper reflexes, right?

[boredzoomerpire]

Related, tangentially, to my latest choice of theme

It’s funny, meaning rather unfunny, that the moment people find out you’re a vampire, they immediately start asking you for all the cool things you must’ve witnessed.

Like no, I’m younger than you for a start. Secondly, I’m a Tuscan kid who somehow went from the rolling hills of Italy to working graveyard at a pharmacy in California. I suppose some of the people I run into could make for a decent story, and my area in Italy’s the stuff of dreams, but... nothing in that’s got anything to do with it? Well, save for working graveyard. 

[boredzoomerpire]

And I changed it again

This time it’s perfect--a swashbuckly, alchemy-y, occult-y thing. 

[boredzoomerpire]

So I changed my blog’s look

Now it looks like one of those rickety 2000s websites I grew up with as a kid. Yes, I was a technological kid. Might change it again by the time you read this, I’m fickle.

[boredzoomerpire]

Yep, I'm finally writing at a normal hour. For me at least.

I wish there wasn't so much artificial light over here. Without it, the view of the sky from my house would be amazing.

[boredzoomerpire]

Sorry folks, got quiet here for a couple of days, fridge was broken and that was a headache.

[boredzoomerpire]

Found something fun

So I found this old tweet.

...I'm Toreador. Not a shadow of a doubt about that. Handsome face, perfect style, an appreciation for the arts.

[boredzoomerpire]

For context, this was a conversation with a neighbor: Me: ranting about being paid the beauty of fifteen dollars an hour (mind you, this is southern California, so that is not a lot) to spend 8 hours (if the morning shift people get there in time) dealing with what are overwhelmingly drunks with no sense of social boundaries, some of which have a bad tendency to hit on people or turn aggressive if they can’t afford their drink.

Neighbor: “But you don’t have to pay for food anyway!”

Me: *shows her bill for the godforsaken substitutes*

Neighbor: “Why don’t you just bite the drunks?”

Me: “...I don’t want to be fired for assaulting clientele. Or worse, end up in prison. And besides, I’d rather work sober.”

Seriously though, those things cost me almost twice as much as regular food did. And they taste vile, too.

Gotta love it when people...

don’t realize blood substitutes are quite expensive for a graveyard-shift cashier at the nearby pharmacy.

93. What is the weirdest thing you have ever seen? I've seen a few. Couple UFOs.

94. What is something you will never forget? The stars. Shit, the stars. You simply don't forget the first time you see them with eyes like mine.

95. Would you rather forget all of the past or remember everything in vivid detail? I've already got a treasonous overly-vivid memory. Wouldn't trade it for forgetfulness.

96. Have you ever broken a bone before? Well, yes, I think I broke my arm a few weeks ago. Not entirely sure because I can't exactly go to a doctor, but pretty sure. I can say this: regenerating bone sucks even with a regenerating power.

97. Is it harder to love or to hate somebody? Meh. I tend to keep it to "like" and "dislike".

98. Coffee or tea? Tea's tastier, but coffee's more effective.

99. What are some little things that you do that have changed your life in a positive way? Funnily enough, lately I've definitely decided to work on my life. I've been taking care to brush my hair more, and to enjoy the small things more.

100. How many hours have you spend on tumblr today? Hell if I know.

Hi everyone.

Hello, name’s Lucian.

I’ve made this blog, to put it simply, because it’s 3 PM, I can’t sleep, all my friends are either vampires (hence, asleep), in other time zones (hence, asleep) or at work, and I thought it’d be a good idea. I’ll go find a prompt list to introduce myself now. Unless I fall asleep first. I might.
