You know who would've made a good vampire? JD Salinger. He hated people anyway, so he wouldn't have had all those emo existential issues. He'd have just lived in a cabin in the woods and fed on moose or something.

	Moose aren't as tasty as you'd imagine. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm sure, I don't want to eat them either. But he was a grumpy misanthrope, maybe he had a crappy palate? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know vampires to be anything but social creatures. It's a hold over from when we were mortal. Salinger would have been an awful vampire, in any case. Didn't he kill himself, anyway, or am I thinking of another awfully droll writer from around the same time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're thinking of Hemingway. Salinger only died earlier this year of natural causes. And I don't know, I was just thinking - weren't vampires always meant to be scary? What happened to that? I should bring that back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, vampires were once reviled as terrible beasts. It was that damn Bram Stoker who portrayed vampires as debonair and well mannered first. Hell, even Dracula, and I mean Vlad Tepes, was more terrifying than his fictional counterpart, and he was merely mortal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah! I mean, Stoker's book is all swoony and Victorian and ripping bodices and crap. Vlad's all 'I'mma impale you' and stuff. Hell, I'm scarier than most modern vampires.

Really, I think writers have just taken the 'creature on the outside of humanity' thing a little too far and turned vamps into Deathcab For Cutie listening wimps. Yup. Totally going to write a book where vampires nom on babies indiscriminately.

	Well, crap, now I've got to make sure I don't jack it up. You don't seem the sip n' save type. I'm Soren Skwigelf, in case you didn't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not really, I like my meals on the run. I'm Erik Northman. But I'm sure you know that by now, Gigi tends to advertise it like I'm going out of style. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which is funny, since humans aren't supposed to do that. Yeah, she's sort of crazy in love with you. It's adorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Run? Oh, they run very well. She's got her reasons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're not supposed to eat on the run. I'm sure we run just fine. Well, not me, I kind of run like a girl. I've no doubt! (Reply to this) (Parent)
