I remember one day when I was about five years old, I had cut my finger 
and noticed I was drawn to my own blood. Many people have tasted blood 
before from a simple cut and thought nothing of it, but I knew the taste 
gave me a kind of energy which uplifted me. I found in succeeding days 
and weeks that I would hide in the closet from my parents and feed on my 
own blood energy. I only needed small amounts so simple cuts were always 
enough. I knew then that I was different.

Later, I met another kid at grade school and I convinced him to meet me 
behind the athletic playing field (I know what this must sound like) to 
try "feeding" from the blood of each other with simple cuts. He complied 
at first but grew disinterested, but would allow me to "feed" from him 
provided I gave him lunch money or small change. Well..this did not last 
long.

As I grew older in my tennage years, I found I had empathic abilities 
and was constantly probing the minds of other students in my classes, 
including the teacher. One of my games was to try to guess what others 
and the teacher were going to say in school. I found that using this 
mental energy was a great "high" for me. My focus also started to 
include the emotions of others which I found was a great energy feed, 
especially while around groups of people where it was an enjoyment to 
watch the emotional interraction and body language of others. I learned 
in time to substitute the psychic/empathic and emotional energy for the 
blood energy which was too often unavailable. I started to now believe I 
was a natural predator for this energy of others and thought what did 
that make me..

I began to look into my reading while in high school and search out the 
meaning behind what made ne different. Sure I watched your B rated 
vampire movies but did not really think myself a vampire, since all I 
had to go on was the film industry's own attitude of making up whatever 
for the most money. I looked at history and what different authors had 
to say about vamps like Vlad and Nosferatu and so many others. But I 
started to come to the fact that "true" vamps are energy feeders but 
just of another sort and other abilities. I knew I needed and wanted the 
empathic/psychic and blood energy to "feel" well and knew it would 
dominate my life. I also enjoyed watching the body language of others 
and probing the mental energy and predicting their actions to my 
benefit. I knew now I was vampire.

Becoming an adult in the 1970s found me eagerly searching the nightclub 
scene for worthy female souls to accomodate my energy needs. Now, I 
always knew I was heterosxual so my focus has been for the most part of 
the female souls around me. The next step was to be easy and my most 
satisfying. I quickly discovered the pranic energy with the energy of 
sex and once combined with the blood and emotional energy was the 
greatest energy feed I have ever had. To note, vampires are energy 
feeders, and in my 44 years, this energy level is a part of my health. 
The vamp that can adapt to differing kinds of energy from their donors 
is the one who will keep that health. There is a balance with all and 
too much is avoided as is too little.
