*Cassandra The Vampiress*
- A glimpse of the woman within -
First and foremost, I am NOT here to find someone to hook up with.. I am very much TAKEN.. so if you have "other things" in mind, you're on the wrong page..
I have long been fascinated with occult and vampirism at a very early age.. up to the present time, I constantly read up and research about it; especially about modern day vampirism.. I've always been a night owl and loved being under moonlight.. The night's peaceful beauty is quite bewitching to my eyes..
I'm glad I have a very dear friend here (he knows who he is) who's been more than kind to take me under his wing again after my long absence in VR.. He is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back to this site because we know each other's darkness and we accept who and what we really are..
If you're new here, I'd be more than happy to answer your questions about modern day vampirism.. feel free to message me.. until then, may the night always watch over you.
A few more random things about me:
I started art modeling as early as 12 in my Father's Drawing From Life classes.
Began singing professionally at age 16.. retired just a few years ago.
Got pneumonia when I was just around 8; got hospitalized for pneumonia again almost a decade ago. The doctor scared the hell out of me by saying, "next time you get admitted for pneumonia, we'll be using tubes on you.."
I love researching about the occult; especially about modern day vampirism.. but I'm a solid believer in GOD.
I've been married twice.. been proposed to 5 times.. my first marriage only lasted for 2 months.
I very seldom show my sadness/anger... even my own parents haven't seen me openly cry unless we're all watching a tear-jerker of a movie.
I LOVE hugs.. it's often way better than talking too much about nothing.
I'm a small time developer (texturizer) in IMVU. I love making things for my avatar that cater to my specific taste.
I'm a fan of watching comedy films, reading comics that make me laugh, etc.; I believe life is too short so I try my best to find something to laugh about each passing day... as of the moment, I'm addicted to Questionable Content because the complex characters in the strip are SO lovable.
Up to now, I can't seem to cope with the loss of my very best friend (whom I considered my brother) Juno Rivera who passed away almost 6 years ago.
I have a morbid fear of needles/syringes.. each time I get my blood tested, I end up having a panic attack.
I'm an avid gamer. I own Playstations 1-3, a Wii, and a PSP as well as a GBA. I can't go to sleep without playing on my PSP first to lull me to sleep. I do this because I think too much when I'm about to sleep.
I plan to grow my hair up to almost knee length just to see if I can be patient enough to maintain very long hair.
When I get mad/upset, I become quiet; if you still continue to nag/bother/tease me when I'm in this mood, be careful because once I do speak when I'm angry, the truth comes out like a stainless steel jagged knife that can literally cut you down to pieces.
I love being able to express myself through my image editing, writings, songs.. if you were to listen closely at my playlist on my WinAmp, you'd immediately pick up my mood at that moment.

MOON OVER BOURBON STREET
*Sting*
There’s a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I’ve no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over bourbon street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over bourbon street
She walks everyday through the streets of new orleans
She’s innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to GOD above?
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over bourbon street
* GABRIEL *
Archangel Gabriel is the Angel of mercy and harmony, and the protector of all that is pure and innocent. He assists humans in developing and utilizing their intuitive ability and grants wisdom in interpreting dreams and visions.
Gabriel assists us in the realization of our total potential, and harmonizes all necessary factors which will aid us in achieving your goals. He takes away sorrow and helps us find happiness, offers inspiration and divine inner strength during times when there appears to be little to be joyful about, and diminishes self-destructive tendencies by replacing them with gentle growth of new hope.
Gabriel is also traditionally known as the great communicator for the Divine. So he is especially able to help with inner communications between our conscious and subconscious, as well as provide practical support for effective communications in our outer, day-to-day life. He supports artists in expressing themselves, helps them to think clearly and encourages them to remain with their ideas until their masterpiece is finished. He is the Patron Angel of writers and journalists whom he aids in getting their messages out to the world.
One of Gabriel's tasks is to guide the souls of unborn babies through their mother’s pregnancy. He spends the nine months informing the new person of what he or she will need to know on Earth, and just before its birth he will silence the child by pressing his finger onto the child's lips in order to ensure the safety of the secrets of divine wisdom, thus producing the cleft below a person's nose. It is called the “Sign of Gabriel’s Touch”.
A Bit of Trivia:
Gabriel is one of the four greatest Archangels, the other three being Raphael, Michael, and Uriel. Just like Ariel and Jophiel, Gabriel is sometimes referred to as a female. He corresponds with the Water signs, Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. He is considered the Angel of the Moon and thus the ruler of Monday, the day of gentleness and intuition. His symbols are the chalice and fountain representing purification and rejuvenation, but also the white lily and jasmine standing for purity. He can be seen on the Tarot card Key 20 – Judgement, which shows him in his role as the resurrecting force. This card causes confusion as the trumpet is generally though of as a symbol of the angel Israfel.
* FREYA *
Freya, twin sister of Frey, is a member of the Vanir family, the Norse clan of Fertility Gods. Like her counterparts, Aphrodite, Isis, Venus, and Ishtar (Greek, Egyptian, Roman and Indian mythology), she concerned herself with sex and all that goes with it.
She was quite fond of cats, by the way. In fact, she was said to travel about in a magnificent chariot drawn by her two regal black cats named Bygul and Trjegul (Pronunciation? You're on your own...) that were rumoured to be possessed. After serving Freya for 7 years, the cats were rewarded by being turned into witches, disguised as black cats. Even many of her personal traits seem cat-like. For instance, she always wore a brilliant jewel studded collar symbolizing her authority over the fiery aspect of sexuality.
Besides being the Goddess of love, cats, the moon, magic, and of course sex, Freya was also skilled in a form of magic called "seithr" (meaning "sayer" or "seer") which consisted of putting oneself into a deep meditative trance so that the secrets of the future might be revealed. She also owned a feather coat which she could use to fly between the worlds.
Yuki-Onna
Yuki-Onna manifests herself as an irresistably beautiful maiden clad in a white kimono, pure and inviolate. However, appearances are deceiving; her skin is pale and her breath like frost; she appears to mountain travelers in the midst of terrible blizzards and hovers above them while they sleep, slowly but inevitably sucking the life from their lips and breath. She is a terrible demon who, once attracted, cannot be repelled.
However, she is also susceptible to the charms of the opposite sex; if a man is handsome enough, she may spare his life on the condition that he swears never to reveal the encounter to others. This promise, once made, must be kept; for, like an obsession, Yuki-Onna will follow the man for the rest of his natural life, perhaps even disguising herself as a future wife, waiting and watching for any hint of betrayal. If the man ever breaks her trust, the consequences are fatal.
