I have a confession to make... my first love was not Severus Snape; it wasn't even Harry Potter.  My first love (other than a brief crush on a Baywatch character named Logan) was vampires.  Just the general idea of them.  Not many know this about me, and it's a little scary to be putting it out there now, but it's true.  I love vampires, always have and probably always will.  God, it feels so good to actually say that outloud!
