At risk of being devoured by team-Edward fans, I'm gonna have to admit that I do not understand the attraction to vampires. And by attraction I mean, wanting to date a vampire or be a vampire. Don't get me wrong, I like a good vampire flick as well as the next person, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna don prosthetic fangs and red...or eerily attractive golden...contact lenses.
And I'm sure as hell not gonna drink blood for fun. Sure, I've had my fair share of that metallic-flavored substance touch my tongue...I was a kid once. I rode bikes and roller skated and jumped rope...and subsequently fell down and scraped my knee...and then licked the blood instead of running in the house. No time to waste...daylight spends fast! Don't tell me you didn't do that. I know you did. And maybe juuuuust maybe I've even done it a couple times as an adult. But if I did, it was from a knife cut to the finger...pretty sure I can't lick my knee the way I used to.
My point being...I do NOT want to squeeze the cut and fill a cup and then savor it like a cocktail. Oh, and, Ummmm...did I mention that I like food? A LOT. Turning into a vampire would mean that I'd have to give up food. Now that gives me the shivers. I am also going to admit that I prefer the vampires that I grew up with to those new-age, sparkle-in-the-sun ones. Now these...these are vampires...
