Hello, I'm Adrian Ivashkov, and this here is Dimitri Belikov, not that anyone cares so much about him. Anyway, we've decided that we've been through enough hell and pain that past few years that we could use what we know to help other people. Apparently, Belikov is all for helping people and stuff, and since I don't really have much better to do with my time, I figured why not, and this might be fun. So, let's do the damn thing.

-Adrian.


Dear Adrian,

There's this boy that I really like. I've known him since the third grade, but we've never really been friends or even acquaintances. I sit back and admire from a distance as he Woo's other girls, and wish it was me. What can I do? I don't know how much longer I can take this.

Signed,

Lonely-heart.

Dear Lonely,

You should have a little more confidence in yourself, for one. Confidence makes a girl sexy. Why do you think I went after Rose all those years? –sigh- anyway, you need to make him realize what he's missing out on. Sometimes, you have to take that leap of faith or whatever. If that doesn't work, a nice bottle of Russian Vodka will cure the heartache… I promise.

Love,

Adrian.

Dear Belikov,

One of my biggest fears is being turned into a strigoi. I can't imagine what it was like, or how hard it is for you now. How bad is it coming back from the damned?

Love,

That one chick!

Dear Chick,

There aren't words to describe what coming back from a strigoi is like. Damned would definitely be an understatement, no doubt. Every day, I see the faces of the people I've hurt, the people who have suffered and died at my hand. You have no idea what it's like living with that guilt. You have every right to fear becoming a strigoi. It's the worst possible thing imaginable. What you have to fear even more than being a strigoi, is being a strigoi and then being turned back. If I didn't have my Roza, I would have never made it. It's that simple.

Dear Adrian,

You're a spirit user, and I just recently found out that I am too. I've been reading about Anna and Vladimir, and the idea of going crazy scares me. I know you've been dealing with it for years, just as your cousin Lissa has. Any advice for an up and coming spirit user, with a deathly fear of her element?

Signed,

Alone and afraid.

Dear A&A,

First off, let me say that being a spirit user is nothing to be afraid of. It has its moments of suckiness, but it also has its moments of pure awesomeness. It opens up doors for you that regular elements can't. Yeah, the whole 'craziness' thing is a pretty big downside, but some booze will normally make all that go away. If you're not of legal drinking age yet, find a moroi or dhampir that is… they'll be sure to help you out. Anyway, the advice I'd have for you, is embrace it. The more you fear it, the harder it will be to master the element. Spirit is actually pretty bad ass. Just go with it, I promise the ride will be worth while.

Love,

Adrian.

p.s.- Dimitri here… Adrian was just kidding about the underage drinking thing. He's not really encouraging it. Underage drinking is bad. He was joking.

p.s.s- I was encouraging it. I've been drinking since I was 14 and I turned out fine. Quit trolling on my advice Belikov, they didn't ask you… did they?
