> Am I the only one in the world who's actually *rooting* for Nick > to bite somebody, lose all his humanity points, and start back at square > one? […] No, you're not the only one. Sounds to me like you're a Cousin.

Oh man, now I'm just ranting, but hey, this is my computer, my internet (my phone line ;) and on top of all that, I am a COUSIN so I will rant a LITTLE about how one of my favorite vampires (next to Uncle, of course ;) meets my favorite British author :))))
Etymology
From cousin, in reference to an incident when a fan of the character Nick Knight, Sharon Scott, admitted that she had a fear of frogs and after two other members of the mailing list who were fans of Lucien LaCroix sent her chocolate frogs in the mail, replied that the two were so cruel that they must be cousins.
