dose that make you happy. i hope it dose. sniker on that while you play your little games. i realized a few moments ago just how little i acutlay care aobut any of this (tho, you'll probably use my act of writing a letter itself in some way. hell i would, you'd be stupid not to. but really it's jsut becosue of that one guy who "devils advocated" me). this is a board about games. your the ones who spend your time living out fantasy. hell, i may very well be deluted and nutso, but at least i live my life.

you know what, it dos'nt even matter. you'v won, if it makes oyu happy, if it gets you off. i just don't care any more. this jsut is'nt worth my time. i get no pleasure form this, but you, you seem to relish in it. in seemingly (at least in your own mind) prooving a line of text on a computer screen wrong. honestly, who is the sick one?

well, toodles all.
and have fun living it up, as i'm sure you will.

I didn't read this post.

I have seen mildly dyslexic people type and spell a hell of alot better than that. I'm fairly majorly dyslexic and I can type and spell alot better than that without the benifit of a spell checker. Though I do have a tendancy to transppose the occasional letter when typing at a faster speed, all it takes is a couple seconds to look at the words as I type and see if I have transposed letters.

Same here.. In fact, I get 25% extra time in exams because of my dyslexia..

Pity him.

If he really is drinking blood, at least he's getting it from a butcher and not another person, or cutting himself and taking it there. Lots of "vampires" have self-mutiliation obsessions.

It is true that most of us begin having cravings for blood usually around puberty, but it is known to happen earlier and also much later (like 20's, 30's). When i began my cravings, it was simply for "something" they were fairly weak compared to the ones i have now. I had never thought of blood in a great way, i think to me at that time it was just the stuff that was in your body. These cravings for "something" gradually grew stronger and i physically began to get weaker, i went to see a doctor of course and was given a clean bill of health. And yet the cravings and fatigue progressed, soon i began having insomnia because of the cravings, and began having migrains. Again i went to the doctor, nothing. I started sucking on my wounds when i had a cut, i never noticed it at the time but my friends did.. it will like i was eating the cut i was liking the taste soo much. Then i gradually started to want that blood feeling to come back and that taste, the cravings suddenly had a name to them, blood cravings. I didn't understand what that meant really at the time, but i began cutting myself to get blood with razors, i would never waste any drop. What i didn't know at that time was that feeding from myself only made me more hungry and weaker. Six months went passed after i began craving blood, i didn't know what that meant and the only thing i had to compare with was that fictional vampires drank blood. See thats the reason we use the name vampire, i typed the words "real vampire" into a search engine and i found out that there were others like me. For this to be psychosimatic or a delusion i would first have had to know about sanguinarians, which i didn't... even if this was a delusion of the media vampires, which i really didn't have an interest in. Then i would be dressing in black, drinking virgins blood, stalking prey and all that crazy shit. We have many sites and many boards, some of which are credible and some of which are obviously people under a delusion. We can't do anything about that, its the internet and we are usually considered "occult" by people, although i personally think theres some scientific or medical drastically improves, they become more energised and healthy then theyve ever been, this wonderfull felling lasts for atleast 2 weeks. Is that bit psychosamatic? even if it is, i don't think any of us care.. Its a relief from the cravings and the fatigue and the insomnia and sensitivity. These factors tend to make us believe that we are defficiant of something within blood, that can be extracted through digestion. That all we know, why? because the medical community looks at us in the same narrow minded way that you do.
I'm not going to comeback here, nor do i want too... I just wanted you to know what your actually talking about before you begin to try to insult us. I would give you links to sites that have a clearer explaination, but you would probably flame them so no.

I'm making this post not to make you believe in "vampirism" nor to claim that you are wrong, vampirism could be a psychological delusion. This post is also to help get the point across that angelus was trying to make. In this article i will not use the word "vampire" i'll explain why our community uses that later on, now i will only refer to my condition as "sanguinarian condition/disorder" or "sang".

Totally legit question, don't take this as an assholeish way to pry at you and poke fun at you, I quite literally want to know how you satisfy the cravings you have.

I mean, what do you think you're getting from blood that wouldn't be in there?

Just to answer questions.. We get our blood from willing donors, usually friends and sometimes family members. There are some foods that tend to help cravings a little, usually those with natural sugar such has fruits and such. But they don't work as well as blood, oh and coke doesn't have that many good vitamins it just has alot of sugar and caffein to keep your blood-sugar levels up so you don't feel crappy.. thats why some people can live off the stuff for ages.

Sounds like you're pretty much supporting the fact that "Sanguinarian disorder" is a psychological delusion.

This gives me an idea.

Find a nice little sample of these guys (say 100-250). Deprive them of blood for a week or a month or however long, then bleed them a little. Split them into three groups, and feed one group their own, theoretically depleted blood, another group some water that has been made to taste and smell like blood and given red food coloring, and the third group regular human blood (collected from willing donors...or something).

And of course it's a doubleblind procedure.
I am keeping an open mind with these vampires, and normally I'd be content to just sit in a room with one for a while and just try to feel their aura or some new age stuff like this, but my AP Psych course is slowly converting me to the gospel of scientific thinking.

Actually, I like this idea. It would help clear up if there is any physical disorders going on, or if the whole thing is a psychological/pschosomatic disorder. Stranger things have been found before.

Of course, finding a sample size large enough to not skew the results with the placebo effect, might be difficult due to the low number of "vampires", plus the smaller subset who would be willing to go through with the study.

Christ, does drinking the blood of your family members have the same effect as inbreeding? Why can't any of you type above the level of a retarded monkey?

Well then, why not approach some college research types and see what they say? Yes, you may be laughed at by many who are unwilling to believe, but, if you can get at least one to listen to you long enough to demonstrate the size of your community, and perhaps even a list of willing volunteers, you might get such a study, especially a grad student desperate for a thesis idea.

And even if you don't get their support, at least they will of heard of the condition the next time someone else complains of the same kind of symptoms...

really? Interesting. Do you know of some way that we can get at least 100 vampires in the same spot for however long it takes them to start feeling the effects of blood 'starvation'? With a check for $50 or whatever attached...but yeah.

Although, I'm pretty sure that it would have to be psychosomatic since there isn't any physiological difference between 'vampires' and humans by all accounts. Though it doesn't seem like these vampires have been taking the kinds of steps they should be to seek treatment. I wonder what would happen if a vampire was given an fMRI while drinking blood or something...

Well thats the thing we just don't know the results an MRI would have, everyone views us in the same way either occultists or crazy people. I mean there is some effect in our body that improved our health after the ingestion of somebody elses blood, with its psychosimatic or not we don't know.

Considering the fact that there aren't magical substances in blood that you don't find anywhere else, the chances of it being a genuine medical condition are about equal to zilch.
