Would you consider yourself a modern vampire?
If so, which type?

If you've said so, im sorry - i havent seen >_>

Hrrm..now im looking at pages about living blood consumption...Which reminds me of Elizabeth Bathory, who believed consuming blood of virgins kept her young...Im terribly skeptic of everything that cant be proved by science x333

I thought that I was a psivamp for quite a while, which is how I became involved in this whole scene. Eventually, though, I realized that I'm more of an energy junkie than a real vampire. I work with and occasionally consume metaphysical energies, and I do crave them every now and then, but I don't require them to stay healthy. Now I just help out around the community. =)

It's good to be skeptical, in fact I encourage it. It proves that you're thinking, you know? To be honest, I probably wouldn't believe all of this if I hadn't had witness it first-hand.


I think i would have to witness it first hand too.
Im a skeptic, but i hate to say ['uihh..va]mpires arent real' ..which is all most people had to say on your thread >__>

After all, look at how many called Christopher colombus crazy when he said the Earth is round and not flat, haha!


(( also, WOW you're only 16? You're a smart cookie, im glad not all the youth these days are wasted ))
Storie


Chris Columbus wasn't the only person to know the world wasn't flat. Most sailors knew it. ;3
They could tell when ships came into port.


I assumed he had supporters, i was just never told.
We learn something new each day :3


Haha, yeah. ~~ ^-^
He heard about it and that's how he decided he could be an a*****e sail around to China. I was like "hsodf for realzz~!!" when I first heard about it, then I googled it and it ended up being true. xP

You can't technically consume energy.... =S

You can consume food, which changes to chemical energy because it was a form of potential energy....

But whatever...

Vampires= Reanimated dead, that's how it's been since "vampires" were first though up by unfortunate anemics and people who so happened to catch rabies.

All you did was change your meaning to make your little "fantasy" seem like a lifestyle.

Another interesting point would be that "psivamps" do not "consume" energies, but just get their adrenaline pumped when around energetic people and people doing activities such as dancing, running, ectect... I get excited when around dancing people or people having a good time, most people do. Doesn't make me a "psivamp" or any of the other people.

And those who are "sang" or whatnot are more-than-likely experiencing a placebo effect.
And drinking another person's blood is very unhealthy, therefore dangerous to do... which is probably where the thrill really comes from.


Ive looked up consumption of blood, since im going for my RN in terminal medicine, i wondered if these people could hurt themselves by doing this.

And IF the blood is tested, and disese free, i cant find where its harmful.
Sure, blood has a small amount of waste and we lose some-odd pints daily with waste in it, but taking it from the veins, with meniscule waste - - its fine.

How so is it harmful?

When you're out in the middle of the atlantc or the pacific for that matter you can actually see the curve of the earth. Sorry just a random off topic bit of information, meh yay for being a sailor

Ho'kay, the absorbing I think is a little more rational...~ =D
I can't imagine a baby gnawing on blue orbs of energy..... ~cough~

And, prove what? xD

That's an...interesting mental image. O-O
Well, you said a bunch of things regarding how vampires 'really' work, so I asked you to prove it. It's kind of a gripe of mine. I know that, since we're on the internet, neither side can really prove that vampires (our definition, anyways, I'm fairly sure the normal definition doesn't exist) do or don't exist, so I don't like it when people claim either way. I even get annoyed when vampires try to throw proof around.

Just jumping in for a second~ Whatever it was my dad read/watched (I think he said it was a documentary about a tribe in Africa that drinks blood), it said that consuming blood can clog your arteries easily because of it's properties.

Exactly. And since you cannot prove me wrong and I can't prove you wrong this thread is just spam and flames waiting to happen. Debate over. you said it yourself.

I'm not really targeting just the drinker, but the drinkee (haha, I like that word) too.
Being the drinkee, there are some obvious factors...
Like if the drinker doesn't know what s/he's doing and cuts too deep, severs a tendon, ect... Just, ow.

Since bacteria is a breeding ground for germs (ew~) you could get the drinkee sick, which is never fun.

Sucking blood from the would can damage veins, too. No one wants damaged veins!! D=

There are other's, but that involves googling, which I'll do later. XD

In general its hard to find information about the consumption of blood on legit sites >_>
Someone should do a study on that, i want my professor to x3

Sorry to also jump in.
Eating too much black pudding can do the same (sorry its made of blood so I had to mention it).

You'll find most sangs take about an eggcup's worth at most and that can sustain them for a good week or so. Some sangs dilute blood down in milk or red wine as well to disguise the taste.

Yeah, I realize that it is a pretty...
Interesting... Mental image to say the least...
I was with a baby all weekend, so yeah... And he's at his teething phase so he's gnawing on everything.

But, I'm only saying that they aren't technically vampires, but reading over the OP, she says that the term vampire just sorta stuck.

Not quite. :/ This thread functions both as a support thread for self-identifying vampires and as a reference source for information on the subject.
You're welcome to leave, though. No sense hanging with us craaaazies now, is there.

Ask him to?
xD
Dazzle him with fame and stuff. x3
All professors want that!

As for the pudding thing...
I am so glad I hate pudding! XD

There is nothing to support if you cannot prove your resources liable.

Yep, and that's true. (BTW, I'm the OP. xD) I wish I could do something to stop all of the confusion, but the community chose 'vampire' as the blanket term so naming the thread anything else would've been just a little weird. That's why I stuck the word 'human' up there, figured maybe it'd at least help.
