I'm a VAMPIRE?!

What are vampires?

Well, according to Wikipedia, vampires are mythological or folkloric revenants who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living.

Ok, this is not a post-Halloween blog, to clarify things early. I was just shocked that there are really vampires! Yup, you've read it right - THERE ARE VAMPIRES. Thanks to The Tyra Show (which I'm actually fond of watching, thanks to ETC SBN 21), my beliefs with the supernatural thingy has escalated once more.

During their Halloween episode (Oct. 31, 2008), Banks interviewed not 1 but 4 living vampires. One of them was actually featured before in a National Geographic documentary(?) about their kind; while one was featured on a reality show(?). Unfortunately though, I can't find videos yet regarding the said episode, but I have a pic here which you'll see Tyra talking to the Vampire Emperor (thanks to thetyrashow.com for the pic; sorry, I forgot the Emperor's name!):


There were actually two things discussed on the episode which captured my senses. First, they have classifications: Blood Vampires (feeds mainly on blood), Psychic Vampires (feeds on psy energies), and Hybrid Vampires (both Blood and Psychic). Second, on how to determine whether you yourself is a born vampire. Well, they have cited qualities, and there's one which actually struck me: you are a vampire if you tend to/more often sleep during daytime. The hell! I'm like that! But if ever I'd be a vampire, I'll probably be a Psy Vampire. It's cool, yet it's not disgusting. LOL!

I'm now more excited on the showing of Twilight - eventhough I don't have any idea about it.
