The killer in me is the killer in you

What I should have said was nothing.

2008-10-13T11:08:20Z

Well I can certainly tell you who isn't up at seven in the morning because she filled up on Halloween cookies and root beer somewhere around midnight.

My secrets, you say?

My darling Baskerville.

28. first vacation
Father took me to Paris when I was 10. There was a contact there that was having a rather nasty infestation that required our assistance. There wasn't much for me to actually do, though. I sat in on a lecture that father gave, listened to the details, gave an opinion or two that may or may not have lead to a constructive conclusion, and sat by drinking cocoa while they set up the particulars. After that, though, he and I spent an extra day to go sightseeing.

30. first crush
Hilariously enough? Dracula. From a few old movies that I'd seen, up to the newer ones of the time. Aside from that, I think there was a neighbor boy that I was rather smitten with before his family moved.

CURRENTLY

Waiting for breakfast.

51. I'm about to
Eat?

A commercial on TV. Tales from the Darkside is on otherwise.

Normal, please.

75. hook-up or relationship
The term "hook-up" does not exist in my vernacular. I only accept the real thing.

Similar enough that we "get" each other, but different enough to balance one another out.

HAVE YOU EVER -

77. kissed a stranger
No thank you?

79. Been in love?

From yesterday

2008-06-04T18:25:26Z

I've forgotten what I said to spur this, but I'm still laughing about it today.

alucard: What, is that a crack about how I don't have a heart?
integra: You have a heart!
alucard: I've impaled thousands!
integra: You have a heart, you just don't have a whole lot of patience.
alucard: . . .

Yesterday. Work demands that I write a fair amount of letters.

Haha...ohh this is an embarrassing one. Well, I was a ghost one year, I think. I know I was a Princess on more than one occasion. I think I was a vampire for the sake of irony one year. Lately though, I haven't had the drive to really dress up, so Alucard usually picks something for me to wear and if I approve, we make it to a gathering or two. I'll give you three guesses as to who he is almost every year.

Wal-Mart, Target or K-Mart?
I have no preference.

Conversing with the immortal.

2008-04-28T15:58:55Z

integra: mm, my eyes are getting sreeepy
alucard: Psh, SLEEP IS FOR HUMANS.
alucard: ...
alucard: Oh, right.
integra: ...
alucard: Sorry.
alucard: :/

alucard: I can only please one human per day, today is not your day. Tomorrow isnt looking good either.
integra: how many other humans have you been pleasing?!

integra: oh the future isn't looking good for you, my friend
alucard: I'm not sure if you realize this.. But I'm a snail right now. A snail. Not a dog, or a bat, or mist, or even rats but a snail. And thats just awful.

Odd

2008-03-28T07:11:11Z

I realize that the piano lessons that I took as a child never truly wore off. Sometimes, when I'm typing, my hands seem to think that they're playing a piano instead of typing up a report or whatever it is that I'm doing that day.

I just found that interesting.

Sir Integra Hellsing

Happy sigh.

2008-03-14T22:31:35Z

Every time I clean, I realize exactly how much I love Swiffer. Because I can get so busy, dust tends to accumulate to a...well, a near frightening degree. But when I finally find time to clean, this product never ceases to amaze me.

Not to mention, when fully extended, the Swiffer duster is a perfect balance to use for baton twirling.

...I think I've said too much.

Groan.

2008-02-21T03:24:57Z

The other day I was minding my own buisness in my room. Alucard was out on one mission or another when I realize I forgot to tell him something before he left. So, naturally, I pick up the phone on my dresser and dial him.

*rrrring*

Alucard: *picks up, heavily accented* So. How much does a polar bear weigh?

Me: ...*sits stunned for quite a while before laughing* I hate you.

Alucard: *grinning* No, really! How much does a polar bear weigh?

The question, followed by a series of "I hate you"s ensued for quite some time as I went to the kitchen to get a drink, trying to be quiet so I wouldn't wake Seras.

Finally, while trying very very hard not to make it obvious how much I'm laughing (Damn his infectious grin), I concede.

Me: Alright, I don't know. How much does a polar bear weigh?

Alucard: *still accented* Enough to break the ice. Hi, I'm Vlad.

...

There are days, my friends, when I don't know whether I want to kiss him or kill him.

Note to self: If you ever forget to tell him to get milk, let it go.

Hilarity

2008-02-12T12:04:37Z

I just recieved a book in the mail entitled "Shut Up and Drink Your Blood".

It's extremely cheesy and ridiculous, but there are a handful of things that actually made me laugh, the name included.

I just had to share the absurdity of that. I'll bet it was Alucard's doing. I need to keep him away from my computer when I'm gone.

Working

2008-01-15T15:32:43Z

So after about a day or so, I finally got this working to my liking. Immeasurable thanks go to cosmicdesign. I could not have done it without you!!

Nothing to update at the moment. It's rare to find me actually active anywhere, as I try to keep myself busy at the office. This will mostly be a friends-only journal. Just a place to vent my thoughts and frustrations of every day life as it has become. I may do the same publically, but it will probably be a rarity.

That seems to be all.
