I figured I’d make a powerpoint because I saw one of these that an extrovert wrote and it was not helpful at all. 

Ok, yeah, it’s got the good basics covered.

The only thing I would add to this handy guide is: extroverts like quiet time, too! If an extrovert you know says, “I think I just want to spend the evening flopped on the couch watching movies,” don’t assume something is wrong with them. 

Another photo of the StuntHusband and me from Vampire Ball, wherein it is proven that if my friend Kerry points a camera at me, I throw the horns. It’s a thing. 

The Alnwick Poison Garden

Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, England

The Alnwick Poison Garden boasts some of the world’s most dangerous plants, hence the name. Behind big black gates, the carefully curated garden contains about 100 varieties illegal narcotics including poppies, which are used to make opium, the poisonous Atropa belladonna (also known as deadly nightshade), Strychnos nux-vomica (used to make strychnine), Coca (from which cocaine is produced), hemlock (used to kill Socrates), cannabis and more.

The current Duchess of Northumberland decided to revamp the gardens when she became mistress of Alnwick Castle. The project began around 2000, but she did not begin the Poison Garden until five years later. Inspired by the garden near Padua, Italy which was once used by the Medici’s to find better ways to kill their enemies, the Duchess decided to build a garden that was filled with narcotic, poisonous and deadly plants. The initial design included some medicinal plants, but she had them removed to maintain the concept of the Poison Garden.

I am reading my way through the archives of this, and it’s adorable.

We might have had a liiiiiiiiiiiittle too much fun with Easter candy…

So By Night Studios have accepted Clovis as their overlord? ‘bout time

We will be replacing “Caine” with “Clovis” in the Book of Nod

That delighted giggle that echoed through the universe? That was the Devilbunny. I’d say it’s nothing to be alarmed about, but I don’t want to be accused of fibbing. 

Clovis says of COURSE he can be trusted with a race car, stop hiding the keys from him now. Devilbunny needs to go vroooom!

Hmm. There are many of these I don’t agree with, but the notion of Alan Moore as a Tremere cracks me up.
