No, Living forever would seem more of a burden to me, rather than a freedom.
To see so much and so many people (I would also like to be friends with "humans" if I was a vampire) and to see them die, would be something I would hate.
It would probably revert me to a loner, then i'd probably die from lonliness or something...
Sorrow and Despair etc..
I like my friends and my company.
Illianos.
No i would not be a vampire. If I was a true vampire then the existence wiuld be one of loneliness and isolation. Because if immortal then people would start to wonder why u never get old
Yes I would -- And i do know what it's like to be truely alone --- spending over 20 years locked down -- I could without a doubt handle it -- and would love it all ...
i would want to become one.
i think i would turn a few of my friends/family if they let me, though, so i wouldn't be lonely.
if i had the chance to become a vampire for real and not just a feeder oh yes i would and take a few ppl with me .
The interesting here is ..no where in the question is the word fictional....
ould have to think about it like the post states fictional or not. right now undecided.
Yes I would, I would relish the vampire lifestyle. I most likely would bring over a few friends that would like to be one as well.
Yes, I'd become one if I could. Immortal life would be a blessing to me. I could learn everything there is to know in the world, and really help out.
stupid sheep when will thy ever learn? Do not wish for things you do not understand.
And you are born this way not made.
The life is hell would you like it if you were cold consantly? Alone constantly? Watching all those you love become old and wither away till death meets them? would you like it if the sun would never shine upon your face? I hear sheep are quite fond of the sun.
did I evermention that love fails us?
You would be alone if you were of my kind.
No, I like the way I am. If I were a vampire it would complicate things.
If i could live for a couple hundred years with any of the ramifications of being vampire,, I would
the idea of it would seem a good idea but i would think living forever,haveing to hide what i am..... that would not be as fun or glamours as it sounds
I would. To live in the shadows and bite the throat out of people that annoy you, ^_^
I don't think I would ... no one really knows what it would be like. Sure, you could imagine and fantasize about it, but until you are actually there, you will never know. Its like the saying goes, the grass is always greener .... till you get there.
No
And for some odd reason I could see this better as a poll.
I'd rather live a full, semi-normal life. Being immortal would be cool, I'd be able to live way past my time and see all the advancements. But that's what my soul will do. My body cannot carry on.
first off we do not live forever our souls jump from bodey to bodey so we keep all we have learned so what you see in the movies does not excist
Not if the thread starter was one. I'd have to kill my self from shame.
Yes, I would in an instant. I'd be willing to trade living alone and in the dark for the chance to live for countless years and watch the world progress.
It depends what is at stake. For instance, if I had to chose between dying a horrible death and becoming immortal, I probably would chose the later. However, if I was to live out a long, happy life, I would prefer that over an over-extended, lonely one.
I'd love to become a creature of the night, drinking blood, keeping in the shadows, I burn easy anyway and we have electricity so I can still read and draw all I want. hell I'd get a heated coffin likes! I'd just turn my bf and then we'll both live together forever..
but y'know only if i had the chance lol
No one among us could truly pass up the chance to cross over and finally become one with the night. The ultimate accomplishment i have dreamed about since childhood.
why live for eternity and watch your loved ones die and get old....and watch the world around you lose its beauty bit by bit. there is a time for everyone and you live life once and do it properly before moving on to what you are destined to become...and that varies widely
The idea of living forever has always tantalised me…. But as a Vampire?.. I don’t know.. I’m already some what of a Vampire… I feed off of people’s dark energy… and have become addicted to it… but always living in the darkness… taking lives… and being alone…. Trying to live life as a myth.. and as a secret.. It may be exciting at first…. But … loneliness would sure settle in do time….
Become a vampire? Not sure. I mean I would have to watch everyone that I cared about grow old and die. I wouldnt be able to play a part in the 'normal' world like be able to sing or have kids etc. But on the other hand yes I would like to be a vampire for personal reasons. But I think that I would rather turn when Im a bit older and have had at least 2 children and watch them grow and watch my bloodline continue.
absolutely...i mean if i could have visions and live forever that would be awesome...but i would have to have my best friend and boyfriend along with me...it would be fun
For me the thought of it is exciting but the reality is not .To see everyone die and the world change i think not.
I would as but than again...the answer is in my profile really...
~Lady D~
There is already an older version of this thread going...
https://www.vampirerave.com/message.php?message=466769
I think the pain of the thirst of blood would upset me. i would not be able to take a life.
i would miss the sunrise/sunset. i would miss rainbows.
existing would not be like living, this way.
The only way I could see a choice here is to be bitten by one of Anne Rice's vampires...then I could be given the choice to live or not.
Personally, my answer is no. I couldnt go on watching everyone in my fictional life fictionally die, while I fictionally live for ever in fiction.
Ain't happening :)
become a corpse who walks around...has to drink blood...has to hurt people every time I get hungry..gets to watch everyone I care about die...has to watch the world change and watch humanity decay....
I've seen dead people...they're smelly and decaying...their skin rots off and they are no longer young and supple.
I'll skip it.
i would for another reasson i am a night owl already so i could party my but off all night and sleep all day which is something i can never get to do is sleep alot .
If you lived a day in the shoes of the bloodlen, then you would think twice about posting such a thread.
Our lives are no differant then your own. We are nothing special, save for what society claims us to be.
feed for a while, then when i amassed enough assets and a quiet secluded place on my own, sleep until the world gets it crap together.
I guess I would, as long as it would mean new gained state of ability, and not turn me in to an ugly nosferatu, wich hair is doomed to fall out in next ten years after the transformation + the overexpressed curvature of the spine, wich would just make everthing less enjoyable, and the sticky yellowish skin wich always moistures the clothings. I guess if it would be a change wich is improving in my sense of perception, than yes, other than that, it really has no sense turning in to a monster.
No, The Immortality in itself would drive me insane. The lonliness and watching all that you love slowly wither away and drift from your life ... A sad life.
i am already a vampire, and every day i learn something new
i would, but at the same time no. only because of my family and friends and i could not live forever and watch them all die. not to mention changing your name and all that would be a real pain.
Ahhhhh to live forever hunting the rest of the world as the sheep they are. Hmmmmmm.....Sounds oh so appealing. An eternal Master of eternal Slaves. I am liking this idea more and more with every second. LOL And its not like I enjoy the daylight anyways. LOL
It would be a hard decision, but no... family and friends are more important
I find everything about vampires so interesting yet I would hesitate to become one. In order to feed, you must harm others wether it's animan or human. While not a vegetarian, I do have bouts where I do not eat meat.. I hate how animals are just slaughtered carelessly with no reguard for their feelings. Although I do find the thought arousing, I do not believe I could drink from a human either. I have too much regard for the feelings of others sometimes.
If your talking about the live forever kind of vampire, then yes I would. Just so I could learn. I would love to be around to see the end of life on this world.
I wouldnt because as the song says who wants to live forever?. not me i want to fin out about what happens next
Do you mean, like a fictional vampire that can't go out in the sun and stuff??
I have always liked the fictional vampire and if that is what you could turn into I would so do it in a heart beat.
i would have to say yes but only if the myths about their weaknesses turn out to be false
Oh in a heart beat …. to be a fiend of the crypt … have no remorse no soul just dammed to fight Buffy one day …. I would raise army’s of vampire and rule by terror and bloodshed.
I would open the gates to hell and relies it onto the world…. Lets face it anything has to be better than this vicious world of ignorance and greed. A world that lets it’s own starve and be slaved to credit cards, lets the governments decide it’s fate…. Already dead you just don’t know it lol
Too deep? Lol
If I truly had the chance to become a fictional kind of vampire... Most definetly. There are things I would love to see in the world, but would want to have someone with me you know.
yes i would become to be a vampire to know what is like fisrt hand.
i suppose that would depend on what you believe vampirism entails...
Yes, and I am living that life style, I have often thought about this kind of question, Like what if vampires were like those gorgeous romantic creatures protrayed in the anne rice chronicals, Man I would love to share several life times with them....
Yes. I wouldn't mind mind being a loner as I am already one and I don't like the sun it hurts my eyes. Living forever would be awsome too. I love learning new things and always feel I will never have have enough time to learn everything I want to.
Naaa...Living forever would suck...See everyone you ever love grow and die...or you could just be a cold heated person and oh well that is your choice...but...I would get bored with everything and probly go on a killing spree just to see how many people I could take out before i died...
Mortality- would I have it...
My first wife passed; in time she was replaced the second parted ways leading to number three. There has been love before, while, and after and all the while a sense of isolationalism. A blessing at times while a living hell at others, but I am who I am what I have always been, and when I am none but dust who then will remember me the socialite or isolationist? Those whom I have loved and have loved me.
Would I wish immortality...
My dears I already am
R
I most likely would just to become immortal. see how the world changes over time.
As much as I love to learn and to see things, I'm not sure what I'd do.
I would like to think that I would be comfortable with death.
No. I don't find the mind can handle the abyss of immortality. I'm an insomniac and typically sleep 1 to 3 hours a night and find it rather difficult to keep entertained. I read dozens of books per week, am involved in multiple disaster response planning groups, online sites, newsgroups, and communicate with people and friends all over the world, but after decades of this, the gaps of isolation is immense. I would not want to be immortal.
I thought about it a little more and, nope still wouldn't. The only thing that would sound appealing about vampirism would be super human strength everthing else would be tha same as sapphire said.
Nah !!! I'd rather make a pact with the Devil and lead a life similar to that of Dorian Gray's (without the same ending of course :)
It kinda fits in well with my issues on aging lol
No, I 'm good with just being the way I am. I think it would get boreing after a while, dont't you?
Never. Hasen't been a thought for me. Finding a donor, losing friends and family with time, never being able to enjoy the sun for long...
Never. Hasen't been a thought for me. Finding a donor, losing friends and family with time, never being able to enjoy the sun for long...
Of course...
My lover and I would get to be together always, raining terror upon mere humans
*sighs* Ah... the beauty of it
errrrm would be tempting to live forever but i wouldnt be able to take watchin everyone i ever cared about wither and die so would be a no for me
I absolutely would. I'm a pretty solitary person anyway & I don't think I could pass up the opportunity to learn about the evolution that infinate time would bring. Imagine the wisdom & knowledge you could gain!
another fact is i love undead thing and the dark i would love to sleep in a coffin and live in a castle.a dream come true i would say.
theunknown - you could sleep in a coffin & live in a castle without being a vampire!
Indeed you could [adding to IM's post] but it would be expensive.
I would definetly like to become a vampire, living forever would be outrageous
I would like to be a vampire simply to see what is coming at the end of time if there is a end of time!
also.
if I have the gift of living or unliving forever!
I would offer it to those I loved!
By the by ... I'm guessing the people who said yes are thinking of the mythological vampire?
Alright I am going to base my answers on the vampire of myth, the immortal vampires with super strength.
Yes - Beause being super strong and Immortal does sound pretty cool. And maybe you wouldn't be at risk for as many medical issues as you are being human lol.
No - Because I wouldn't want to live on while everyone I know dies.
yes
but not a holly wood vampire,, i mean a hunter,, who lived or died by instincts ,, some one who did not dress up in all the black but mix in with my inverment ,,
