A Practical Guide to Vampirism: Myths and Misconceptions (1-B)

The fact is you still are who you were before you became a vampire. You believe what you believe. You do what you want to do. You sleep with whomever you want to. And you wear what you want to wear. The only difference is that you now consume blood as well.

To illustrate this, we only need to see the case of Melanie K., age 34 (2 years as a vampire). She drives her kids to soccer practice, is active in Church (more on this later), and ends each day with two pints of Type O negative before settling to bed with her husband (a lawyer, a whole different type of bloodsucker). The only black she has in her wardrobe is the cocktail dress she wore to his office Christmas party.

The point of this is that we may be vampires, but we are still individuals.
