Vampires... i need info

lol, funny how you said that little bit about girls with fangs being sexy... I just remembered a while back, this one girl who was convinced she was a vampire, bit my neck and it hurt like holy heck. Turned purple and swelled up for two days and left these two distinct teeth marks along with four smaller ones that bled for a while. I think she was wearing a pair of those fake fangs. I thoughts girls with fangs were hott until that little episode... still have a scar from it, lol. anyways, i dont think chiggers can fly, mosquitos can though! i used to be bit by fire ants alot when I was young, and stung by wasps too, so i dont generally react to insect bites. I even had a tick embedded in the skin behind my ear and i didnt react (though people rarely do to ticks). So I dont really know what bit me.

while i am remembering this, i thought it was worth mentioning that there was a tidbit of info. on the FVZA site that seemed a bit of a problem with me. I dont know how much of the site is true or not, but aside from the bit about seratonin and dopamine (which I take pills to provide me with), i do have the eye problem. just not permanently. Occasionally my left eye will get bloodshot and swell up and my pupil hyperdilates. Its very strange and my optometrist cant really explain it other than to say it may be related to some scar tissue in the corner of my eye... but it also happens in my right.

strange coincidences eh?

So it`s more than a sudden thought that you are a vampire and that you have no or little experiance or knowledge of.Serotonin and Dopamine both Neuro Transmitting drugs you didn`t say what condition you suffering from.Wounder why?

It sounds to me, although I am quite often wrong about this, that your post was made as an honest question. That you feel like you might be turning into a vampire, and are embarassed about it, etc....

First of all, "Vampires" as we see in the movies, you know, the ones who grow fangs at night, run around biting people on the neck and turning them into Vampires also, the ones who have immortality and are deathly afraid of crosses and garlic? They sleep in coffins during the daytime, as daylignt is very painful on their eyes.....etc.... are fictional characters made up by some Hollywood movie writers, because they are much more exciting to watch in a movie, than real Vampires.

First of all, don't be embarassed whether you might be a vampire or not. Real vampires do exist, (and I'm not talking about mosquitos). I've known a couple myself. You see, they are just people like everyone else. They have the same mortality rate, they do not grow fangs (although some who feel themselves to be particularly "gothic" have been known to go to the dentist and actually have their teeth bonded in order to look like they have fangs)(give me a break!) Approximately 20% of the entire population on earth has their biological clock built backward from the other 80%. Meaning that they naturally sleep better during the day than at night, and they wake up when it gets dark, just as the majority of people do just the opposite. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Unless of course, you go to school during the day, or have a day job.

I think that most people who are naturally "night people" either do one of two things, they accept it as part of who they are and tend to get night jobs, or they fight it and take melatonin, etc.... to try to force their biological clock to work backwards from what is natural to it, just so they will appear to be "normal".

True Vampires are just like regular people. Just about everyone has some sort of additction or passion, whether it be coffee, cigarettes, the Internet, ATS, drugs and/or alcohol, reading, jogging, swimming.....you get the point. Lots of various things here on earth for people to choose whether they want to indulge in or not, as something special that they really enjoy. Vampires are set apart only by the fact that their peculiar passion is drinking blood. Probably the only resemblance to the ones in the movies. However, they don't just go around biting whenever and whomever they choose at random. No, for them, it is a very passionate, mutual thing. Usually reserved only for the one they love very deeply, and of course this person usually has the same taste for blood. They can obtain blood from each other in various ways, ways that they mutually agree upon. When you were a kid, didn't you ever have a best friend, who you two decided to be "blood brothers/sisters"? You may have probably pricked your fingers and put the tiny prick marks that were bleeding just slightly together and pronounce yourselves brothers/sisters? Maybe not, but it is a common practice for little kids to do. It is usually not considered strange either by their peers.

Anyway, I don't want to go on and on too much more, but basically, a vampire is not dangerous, they are not immortal, many, I'm sure like some garlic seasoning on their food, probably many are Catholic and wear the cross every day. Well, I've got to go. I hope you get the picture, and quit worrying about yourself. Accept yourself for who you are and be happy with that. The only problem now-a-days, is that it is necessary to be cautious about all the diseases going around. Good luck.

All that may well be true but apart from one thing they do not come under the description Vampire plain and simply.Yes Hollywood writers take it one step further to make them more interesting so do people who think they are Vampirers.Vampires are from the description of old.Anybody who cannot provide the powers from those old texts are not Vampires but people with fantasies born from Hollywood.

Whats the pro's & con's to being a Vampire.?

serotonin and dopamine are not drugs, they are just chemicals. I dont have any "condition" other than that my brain doesnt produce enough of it so it causes me problems. What makes you think it wasnt a sudden thought? i said the girl thought SHE was a vampire, not I.

out of curiousity, what is a kenesthesiologist (or whatever)? i've heard of it before, but... just dont know

I understand that. However, the "descriptions" that you read are all "folklore" and most will admit that in the description. Just because someone defines something or someone as such, doesn't mean it is so. If you could be defined, without the person writing the definition of you ever having met you before, but just having common knowledge of people in general, do you think that you, personally would fit that description to a "T"?

U2U me if you want. I have found this a fascinating subject for a long time, and I promise you, it has nothing to do with rabies, chiggers, or neurotransmitters in the brain (seratonin, dopamine, etc....) If you are low on any of your neurotransmitters, you need to see a doctor and probably will be prescribed some anti-depressants, or other mood stabilizers. They also will not make you a Vampire if you're not, nor will they make you stop being one if you are.

Interesting question. I never thought of it that way. I suppose that it's just a lifestyle that appeals to certain people, and not to others. Of course a big con, nowadays would be disease.

Annunakis, a kinesiologist.....(trying to explain in just a few words)....is a doctor that works with Muscle testing,

eg.......

You have two envelopes

One has Arsnic in it

The other one has Honey in it

Put both of the envelopes next to your body, and your body 'knows' which one has the honey, and which one has the arsnic.....

The kinesiologist.....uses this method, and others, to work out what is wrong with you, and what is causing certain illness etc.....

Personally, I have tried many doctors, and the Kinesiologist, was the only person who 'ever' knew what was wrong with me and cured me of those things.......It probably doesn't work for 'everyone'....

But please try one, look them up in the phone book, or better still, ask around so that someone can refer you......Look it up on the Net and read about it.......Im quite impressed with the results of these Doctors

I wouldn't be too happy either if some girl bit me hard enough to draw blood. I've been lucky and haven't had that happen so far. Of course I don't believe I have been with any girls who thought they were a vampire either.

As far as bites go, I was ready to declare war on my backyard insects that ate me alive a few weeks ago. I never heard of having an allergic reaction to mosquitos but I read that chiggers are insects so small you can't see them with the naked eye. Sometimes when I go outside, I feel like I'm in a war zone with all kinds of strange insects and spiders. Maybe there aren't enough bats where I live to eat all of these insects. I used to have bats fly over my head where I used to live at but not now. I guess they were not vampire bats because they never tried to bite me.

I suppose almost anyone could believe in vampires if you change the definition to fit almost anyone with a Hollywood type of description. I was once joking called a vampire in college when I returned from an all night computer lab at sunrise to sleep. I often stay up late at night and sleep for half the day when I can even now. It's easy to let imaginations run wild but I would recommend a doctor than try to convince yourself you are different than everyone else. On the other hand maybe the doctors aren't familiar with certain conditions if they are rare. I personally do not like going to doctors but if I think I need medicine or can't figure out something, I go.

Extra note here: It bugs me a lot when other people try to impose their beliefs on me on when I should be waking up and going to sleep. So many people think it's perfectly fine to blast stereo's and run lawnmower's etc. at the crack of dawn but would be ticked off big time if I did that during the night when they are trying to sleep. I'm glad I'm not working a late shift or I would have to put up with that constantly.
