    Did you ask if they had a 3DS so you could game?

    Living forever and slowly losing your mind while everything you know falls and is replaced and you're all that's left when the world ends, I'd imagine.
    You'll have the other vampires to hang out with at least. And theoretically you should be immune to any actual physical deformities of the brain like dementia so any losing of the mind is dependant on one's own mental fortitude. The only downside I see is the difficulty in obtaining enough human blood to survive without being exposed

    Have a nice day!!

    Plus there's always the the old "having to kill people by draining their blood in order to stay alive" thing. Unless you're planning to subsist on stealing from blood banks, which would still end up resulting in someone's death at some point down the line.

    Has anybody here seen Only Lovers Left Alive? Where to get the blood from is kind of a central thing there.

    Amazing movie, by the way. I highly recommend it.

    Well I was thinking just drain enough to survive or drain small amounts from multiple humans, no need to kill anyone. What would be great is if I could find a permanent blood donor and in exchange for 20 years worth of blood I would turn them into a vampire and hopefully if vampirism becomes widespread enough it would be the new societal norm like becoming an adult when you turn 18, you pay your blood dues and become a vampire when you turn 25 (if you choose)

    Also apparantly blood can only be stored for 6 weeks so if possible, and if it doesnt have any adverse effects from drinking I'd try find where theyre dumping unused blood and take that

    I've never heard of it before now, so I'm going to have to look into it. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it sounds amazing.

    For why vampirism as the norm would be a terrible idea, see the film 'Daybreakers'. There wouldn't be enough blood to go around. Also, the more people you drain blood from, the more likely you are to get caught. Every drainee you leave alive is another person who knows what you look like and can report you to the authorities.

    Anywho, between Jehovah's Witnesses and vampires at my door, I've got to say I'd rather have a Jehovah's Witness. In my experience they can actually be really good for a chat, they leave if you say you're not interested, and they don't try to kill you and/or suck your blood. In fact, I'm fairly sure they'd turn down your blood even if you offered it and they needed it (no blood transfusions IS one of their things, right?). Oooo, imagine what a hard time a Jehovah's Witness would have if they were turned into a vampire!

    Wow. Don't know if you've been lucky with your JWs or if I've been incredibly unlucky with mine.

    Jehovah's Witnesses have tried to kill you? Are you sure it wasn't actually a vampire at your door?

    A vampire won't cross your doorstep unless you invite it in though
