More vampires who 300 years later can\u2019t remember what was the truth and what was the lie they told to get out of trouble.<\/p>\n

More vampires who are like,\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know, man, I spent most of that decade in an opium den.\u201d<\/p>\n

More vampires who weren\u2019t paying attention because they didn\u2019t think it would be important.<\/p>\n

More vampires who don\u2019t know because there was lot of conflicting gossip and they don\u2019t want to point any fingers.<\/p>\n

More vampires who are just bad at dates.\u00a0\u201cBack in 1620, or was it 1645, wait, what year is it now?\u201d<\/p>\n

More vampires who were on a totally different continent when it happened, so get off their back and stop asking them questions already.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOh yeah, the only thing I remember about the American Revolution was this nice candlemaker I met sometime, and she was wearing this really cute red shawl\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUhhh I don\u2019t remember much about the fall of Rome but there was this one fucking cobblestone right outside the coliseum\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Also consider: vampires who realize three or four hundred years after the fact that they knew someone famous. <\/p>\n

Just sits up in bed one night screaming \u201cTHAT WAS GEORGE GODDAMN WASHINGTON\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I read\u00a0\u2018vampires who are bad at dates\u2019 and immediately assumed that meant a vampire taking someone to a restaurant, fiddling nervously the whole while and making bad jokes, thinking\u00a0\u2018centuries of practice and I\u2019m still no good at this\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
