It's such a fascinating fantasy to imagine what I would be like as a vampire. I tested out as Marius on the 'What Ann Rice Vampire Are You?' quiz. I'd try to 'behave', but, of course, survival would be all-important.I don't think I'd mind the actual bloodsucking (as a human I'm a bit of a glutton, and somehow I don't think I'd lose the enthusiasm for a good feast!), but I imagine hunting might get wearisome at times, if there was a long search with little results. But I'd be practical. I'd make myself a warm blooded mammal 'critter' farm, so that would make it easier. Oh, yeah, and I wouldn't turn down the occasional 'evil doer'. One would need a BIG MEAL every once in a while.
I'd want those closest to me to be turned. I've already lost one spouse to death, and it's a b*tch. So I wouldn't want to lose any more.
Having reached middle age, I rather like this age. Not too far gone in looks, but still with some sense. There's a power that comes with middle age for a woman. I wouldn't want to be an immortal 20 year old. And as for my 20 year old perspective, well, I never thought about such things then, so I can't know.
I'd love the heightened senses. I don't think we'd be able to fly like in 'Queen Of The Damned', but I'm certain various powers of mind could be developed, the telepathy, and influence over the weaker mortal's minds. However I have a theory about the 'magical blood'. This is how vamps could exist, without supernatural causes. The magical blood would contain microscopic beings that need a host body to maintain them. In exchange for their chance to exist, they'd travel through out the bloodstream doing repair work on all our cells, thereby maintaining the state at which we were turned.
I would like to watch the span of history evolve. As I'm interested in the arts, I'd do my part to perserve beautiful works of all types of art against whatever crasy things humans might do. Imagine if back when the library of Alexandria was burnt, some vamp had copies of all the works, so nothing be lost to stupidity.
Yes, the vampiric life would definitely have its fascinations.
(Yoo Hoo? Any nice vamps out there? Hah!)
Sigh!
