I like to drink much more than I like to eat.

So I suppose having a liquid diet would certainly appeal to me...

...if it wasn't blood. If I can be a vampire that can control his desire for human blood and learn to live on goat blood or something, perhaps I can deal with that.

I think I would make a good vampire too, Little Miss.

Heck, I would buy a big castle in Switzerland...something Gothic sounding like,

SCHLOSS ADRIANSTEIN, home of Count Zwölf!!!

(Ah, Saturday morning....I'm a different man when I allow myself to sleep in.)

Well Twelve I just read a story that included a vampire that turned an obsession for human blood into an obsession for coffee!

I am really not all that keen on being a vampire, when you look at how they end up: Tom Cruise drinking blood of toads in "interview with a vampire", although I wouldn't mind to show my neck to Brad Pitt in that movie. I liked the idea of the vampire girl Kirsten Dunst, who after years and years of being a vampire had a womens mind trapped in a girls body, could be a new thread sometimes. I really liked Mina Harker in LXG, she's got class, she's intelligent, attractive and dangerous; could become my friend. I don't really like all these new approaches to show vampires, I mean like in Blade I, I prefer the old idea of what a vampire is. Anyway it is never a happy end for a vampire, so I think I am going to wear my garlic necklace to avoid any mosquitoes....

I think vampires our interesting in all aspects from vampirism and blood lust of the modern subculture society to the mythical aspects of vampires. However do I want to be one? It depends on the idea of what they are. I mean there is the romantic ideals of vampires written in litature and for movies and tv shows and there is the truth behind what they are which isn't so pretty. But being a vampire is not so bad. It has its ups and downs however every kid wants to be somethings. A vampire is just one of them.

I actually thought Kirsten Dunst was in her late twenties or something. Darn it, those child actors really grow up quick!

Or maybe it's just that folks like me forget how old some films are?

I am glad I told you something you did not know about
I enclose a picture of Kirsten Dunst in "interview with a vampire", the film was made in 1994, so Kirsten really had time to grow up, didn't she.

You know I've watched that movie several times and it never dawned on me that the little girl was Kirsten Dunst!! Goes to show you how observant I am.

As for being a vampire, I think it, as RivenBorn said, depends on what your idea of a vampire is. If were talking the romaticized version so prevelent in literature and movies, then sure sounds great. But if we're talking about that evil hell spawn monster, then I think I'll pass.

The one thing about vampires that I think has always intrigued me is their immortality. I suppose that it's almost cliche to say that I'd trade my humanity for immortality but I think, presented with the choice, there's a good chance that I'd accept. I just think it would be so cool to see how the world develops, where technology goes, and where society goes. Hmmm, sounds like a new thread.

Hello,
I don't think immortality would be a good side to life; I just think how sad it would be if you're immortal and have to watch all the people you know and love or hate die but you remain alone, this of course would drive me not to get attached to anybody. So here you have it, I would not be a vampire because I don't want to be alone, lonely. Now if a vampire could chose in giving up his immortality, then I would have to rethink my position.
