[B]Name:[/B] Victor Marneaux
[B]Age:[/B] 30 (19)
[B]Appearance:[/B] Victor stands at the height of six foot two and frequently feels as though he is looming over others. He has dark brown hair that hangs down to about his ears in a shaggy mop. His eyes are a piercing crimson color that seems to darken from time to time. He is thin and does not seem strong.
[B]Abilities:[/B] Victor is very good and manipulating people into doing what he wants them to do but once he gets to know them he either uses it more frequently or doesn't use it at all. It depends on whether he admires them or not.
[B]Personality:[/B] Victor has been rather self-centered from a young age. He has a tendency to take advantage of others and use them till they are worn down to nothing.
[B]Bio:[/B] Before Victor became a vampire he'd been part of a wealthy family that lived on the edges of the mainland. During his life time he'd been able to gain money at a young age and win people over far better than his parents expected. He was selfish though and after their home was ransacked he did anything to stay alive. He was bitten by a vampire and he'd wandered the countryside. He was found by a kind woman and her daughter after a while and was taken in. He'd been at that house ever since, keeping to the shadows.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Well its been ages since I've actually written in the blog and thought it was about time that I caught up with all the news. I've been depressed lately I have to go to court on Monday as six months ago I was arrested for shop lifting, stupid really but when I'm depressed I do stupid things. And that stage I did not know why I was doing these things but now being in treatment I am slowly learning more. So I'm anxious about the court date and what the judge will say in the end. I'll either get a conviction, good behavior bond, fine or community service. I'm hoping for a fine, my lawyer is understanding and believes with me that its more of a medical issue and that I'm not a criminal.

I'm so glad I have my therapist to go to as lately I've been feeling really alone, my family has been terrible towards me the last few months and I don't see anyone a part from Ash's family. I'm only 24 but I feel like an old spinster left on the shelf already. I've tried meeting people but they just don't seem to connect with me, or maybe I don't connect with them, whatever the reason I just end up doing stuff on my own or with my fiancee. He's great and its not as if he isn't enough its just I want friends. I miss having someone else to vent to and have fun with and just be myself around but its so hard meeting like minded people.

Last month we moved to our forever home, my mother went nuts, she doesn't know that its our forever home and thinks we're just renting. I had the phone disconnected the day we were moving cause I knew that it would not have taken long to move and have it connected again. Usually I have to wait weeks from hearing from anyone in the family anyways so I didn't think this would be a problem. Well they were worried for me because of the cyst I had removed on the 10th. Mum got nana to turn up and as I was unwell I was at the new place unpacking and Ash and his brother Ken was finishing up over at the old place. Nan was in tears saying she hadn't heard from me and I'd only called her the other week. She'd forgotten.

Then mum's friend Anya turned up, she thought Ash was suspicious as he didn't say we were moving straight away well jeez he didn't know her so he didn't have to tell her anything. Then my mum got scared and called the cops, they turned up and questioned everybody and I had to call the police station and sort things out, I told them what had happened and they said oh don't worry about it happens all the time and they were just glad I was ok. Well I didn't speak to mother for four weeks after that. I'm still annoyed about her too.

A part from that I had surgery on the 10th of this month and had a histeroscopy, a lapaoscopy and a D&C my periods are always heavy and painful and sometimes I even have two periods a month which is great (not) they found a cyst the size of a golf ball just past my cervex and it was causing pain so they removed that but they couldn't work out why my periods are so heavy and painful.

So I've been recovering from that and now I'm hoping after Monday I'm just able to sort something out so I can do something again. I want to start a drama workshop that's starting in July and my new hobby that I want to learn in crocheting.[/COLOR]

I have an online account at my bank. The entire purpose for this--as described by them as well--is so that I don't necessarily need to keep of my spending, but that it will be tallied electronically online. Lazy of me, yes, but understandable. *shrug* I generally keep track of what I spend, but receipts get lost, I forget exactly how much lunch cost, etc.

Sooo.

For about three days, without me spending anything, my account read as having $35. Okay, fine. I thought it didn't quite add up--but I was willing to believe that it might. I therefore reasoned that I could buy a new book for $20, buy dinner last night for $6, and still have a little bit of money. I check last night after buying the book and it tells me that I have $15. Okay, whew. It's accurate.

I check today and it's in the red. Not only that, but because it's a checking account, there's an additional (sizable) overdraft fee attached.

Of course.

The whole point to having one of these is that it's accurate. Yes, sometimes if a charge is made on the weekend, it takes until Monday to show up--but even then it's generally calculated into my "remaining balance".

Grar.

I'd also like to reiterate my hatred of overdraft fees; they're nasty things.

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="Black"]Yeah, you heard me. I mean, seriously, its so far into June at this point that I don't think it will happen, but I would love the monthly shop update for my birthday on the 30th. That would be pretty sweet!~

I've been craving an update for what seems like forever. I've been talking with Donna about it off and on, and we've been bored with our inventories and junk lately and haven't really come up with anything very creative, but Donna is on such an Es-art kick right now, that I think so long as she keeps getting new art she can handle not getting an update. I know she wants one too. Funny that no one has brought it up in the forums or anything.

But like I said, I think its probably too late for an update this month. They wouldn't do it so close to the next month when they'd just have to do another one anyways, either to have a set that goes with the CIs or just to have an update in general. Either way, its too late and I'll just have to wait until next month for new shiny clothes haha.

Oh, and happy fathers day Menewsha! Don't know if any of you are fathers xD, but here's to you! Congratulations <3[/COLOR][/SIZE]
