My name is Demicles. I recently became a vampyre after reading this site and finding that alot of things in my life could not be explained other that by my being a vampyre. I find that being a vampyre is both a liberating and exhausting experience, due to the fact that I don't have to hide from myself anymore and, on the other side of the coin, I have to hide it from everyone else, due to the fact that I live in the middle of the Bible belt, in Southeast Georgia. If you'll notice, I spell vampyre with a -y due to that fact that I have studied some of the older literature dealing with us and found that this is a more appropriate spelling.
I am 22 years old and honorably discharged from the United States Navy, stationed in Norfolk, VA. I'm friendly, courteous, compassionate, and loyal to those who earn it. To those who abuse my trust, I am a foe most unnerving. I don't put up with nonsense and I can't stand people who lie to me. I extremely dislike six types of people: people who lie, people who cheat, people who steal, people who hurt women, people who hurt children, and people who abuse a love freely given. If you violate one of these six basic humanities, I will not speak to you, look at you or otherwise acknowledge your existence. If you perpetrate one of these five actions against me, then talking to me afterward or trying to obtain my help or trust is nigh to impossible. I am willing to give second chances, but that second chance has to be earned. You have to prove to me that you have changed your ways and are willing to learn from the mistakes you and others have made.
I am headstrong, willful and intelligent. I like to learn and hold intelligent conversations with people. If you don't have a set opinion of a subject and the reasons to back it up, please do not waste my time. I am a really nice guy, but I cannot stand people who try to be something they are not. If you cannot be true to yourself, then you cannot be truthful to other people. I enjoy making and having friends (cannot have too many friends) but will not go out of my way to make them. If I do not feel a connection to you, I will not talk to you.
I am extremely old-fashioned--some would say I have an archaic personality. I hold doors open for women, I don't sit down to eat unless everyone else have arrived and is seated. Every answer is accompanied by a yes ma'am or no ma'am (or yes, sir or no, sir for the gentlemen). I guess that comes from reading too many middle age novels and my degree in Renaissance literature.
I am currently single, though through no means of my own. I consider myself a hopeless romantic by birth, and try consistently to find ways to refresh and renew a relationship that I am in. I have found love only once before, and through actions that could have been avoided, lost that love. I neither regret nor pine for this woman, because she made her choice and now has to live with it. I am my own person, and if someone doesn't like me, then they don't have to talk to me. I honestly believe that love is a conscious decision rather than a Fate-induced situation. You consciously choose to give your heart to someone and you can consciously choose to take your heart back. That is just me speaking from experience.
Most people find me mature and knowledgable. I've made a lot of travels and have learned much about myself and how I intereact with others. I've come to the realization that my purpose here is to help others.
So, I offer, now, that anyone who needs assistance with an issue plaguing your thoughts, do not be afraid to speak with me and I will help you as I can. I speak three languages fluently: German, Spanish, and English and I am teaching myself French as I write this. I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Renaissance literature and am now studying for my Bachelor's in Music Performance and Composition.
I have been told many times that I have been told that there is more to me than what meets the eye. I find that that is completely and utterly true. If you wish to know the real me, the one person that I am and will not hide, feel free to read my journal and my poetry, and add me if you are intrigued by the REAL me......
