In addition to Therians, Furries, Otherkin and every category of trans you can imagine, you got your Vampires - coming out of the coffin...
“Most vampires believe they were born that way; they don’t choose this,” Williams said.
Research led by D.J. Williams, director of social work at Idaho State University, indicated that people who identify themselves as “real” vampires – that is, needing others’ blood to gain energy – would not disclose their practices to those in the helping professions and risk reactions like ridicule, disgust and possible diagnosis of a mental illness.
Williams, who has studied self-identified vampires for nearly a decade, finds they come from every walk of life and profession, including doctors, attorneys and candlestick makers.
“They are successful, ordinary people,” he said. - ReutersThat's what he thinks.
So anyway ...
Don't judge me.

Vampires suck.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
Wouldn't want to risk a "possible diagnosis of a mental illness," no. This reminds me of an X-Files episode. If I remember it correctly, one of a trio of "vampires" worked in a blood bank. That seems more sensible than cutting people's chests--and a lot safer because the blood is screened. But who am I to judge since I don't identify as a member of the vampire community?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly some of the most handsome and slick men are vampires...they suck the life out of you should you encounter/fall for one. ;p
ReplyDeleteModern society, or should I say post-modern society, has lost the ability and the desire to distinguish between the normal and the abnormal. Indeed, for many people, those categories do not exist in their intellectual framework. I see it as part and parcel of the dissolution of society from within.
ReplyDeleteLol..Morticia is not a vampire..just a "typical wife and mother, taking care of her family and trying to find time to join the forces of darkness in their hellish crusade!" One of the first horror movies I saw was Christopher Lee's Dracula...it's where I learned that cleavage equals lady vamps and doom!
ReplyDeleteI used Morticia's image for Eve Tushnet once. I used to think those Spiritual Friendship people shoul work on their appearance a bit more. They are so not attractive - which may explain a lot.
DeleteWhat?
Are you saying its easy to be celibate when no one is asking you to dance??? Just kidding, but I mean, we can't all be movie stars but we can all take a bath and comb our hair..hit they gym every now and then...MEOW!!!
DeleteThough I thought Lily Munster was hotter..too bad she was married to a mildly retarded husband..(oh, that was not PC.) I did like that Gomez and Morticia were totally into each other, I think they were the only married couple on TV in the 60s who were actually acting like they were getting it on.
Well, it isn't all about looks - but there is evidence Fetal Alcohol Syndrome leaves certain facial characteristics ...
DeleteNo it's not all about looks..sense of humor, brains and a HUGE .......401K...but ya just gotta be clean no matter what!
