Why do vampires play with their food?
Why do vampires make love to their food?
Why do vampires talk to thier food?

Just a few things that make you go hmmmmm

Depends which "type" of vampire you speak of.....

My old opinion and stuff when I was only a kid 14, and I liked to think there was such thing as a vampire.... I believed a vampire couldn't "make love" It is a corpse.... What is most costly to a vampire? What it consumes... Blood... To waste this blood on such an event would be pointless....

talking: Don't you talk to your food? Aww look at the lil piggy/cowy/chicky/ducky/whatever...y.

Thus I gues this could be the 'vampire spirits' mentioned earlier in this thread.

Yeah, that's how I understand it. It's not a function of the spiritual body in terms of the different levels, rather spiritual in terms of not being the body. I believe it's actually a condition to do with the etheric body, and what you're describing is called making an etheric revenant.

I think I get it now. I think all three of us understand this the same way; I just tend to think of spiritual as having to do with the soul/spirit in the Christian sense (due to my own religious baggage). I tend to think of life-force in a more... Eastern religions way- as ch'i.

From what I've gathered, the real/human-living vampire community is pretty much like it is in normal communities. People work, they have kids, they get older. You have mostly a bunch of ordinary folks that are just like everybody else for the most part and couldn't be picked out a crowd. And you have a few extreme nutty folks. LOL Sounds like my family. Except we have a disporportionately high number of nutty folks.

As for the Anne Rice vampires, oh... you know. Money, eternal youth, lust.

Just like everything else, the real world is a lot more boring than the Hollywood version.

, that's all I can say. I mean, the "vampire community"...LOL! Is it anything like the Jedi community or the Trekki community? I'm too busy working and raising a family to play dress-up, but to each their own, I guess!
