How to Be Like a Vampire

Do you absolutely love vampires? Do you want to be like one? Being a vampire is extremely cool; some people may think you're a freak, but just ignore them. This article will take you through the process, from beginning onwards!

Make people believe you're not feeling well, and keep ignoring them like you would if you were dizzy. When the time is right, start shivering slightly and and comment on how cold it is, even though it isn't. (If your going for more of the walking dead variety).

Wear slightly dark make up under and around your eyes once you get home. Remove it before bed! Your skin will thank you later!

Keep your eyes focused straight ahead once at school, and when someone speaks to you either talk to them suspiciously, or just keep staring in the same direction.

Ignore insults and mean people. Just stare at them until they go away, or just walk away yourself.

Surround yourself with intelligent and/or classy people. But, from now on, speak in a low voice.

Sweep around when you walk, and don't smile unless something is extremely funny. This may be hard for people who smile a lot (generally). If you fall under this category, think of something sad for a little while.

Drink red drinks (cranberry juice or something red), but don't drink blood as it will make you sick.

Do not talk about vampires or tell people that you are one, it will just ruin it all.

Tips

• Always stick to the shadows, and whenever you're in the sun, wince in pain and request to go into the shade.
• Whatever you do, don't cut your nails until unless they get so long that they actually may break during everyday activities. (Sharpening them with a nail-file adds the best effect and keeps them shorter; just make sure they look nice)
• If you want, buy fake vampire fangs, but try and buy the ones that look realistic and avoid one with adhesive (custom fit fangs are cheaper in the long run).
• Always stare at people as they walk by.
• The music you should listen to depends on the type of vampire you want to be--classy types tend to go for opera with a dark theme (for example, NOT the Can-Can). Requiems are nice. If you're more of a punk-goth modern vampire, classic may be more your style.
• Dress very smartly and try and go for darker clothes and long coats.
• Invite your friends to join in the vampire lifestyle and start a coven!
• Goth is very similar to the vampire lifestyle in some cases.
• Wearing sunglasses is a nice touch, but don't wear the same pair everyday; switch it up a little bit.
• NEVER go around to people saying you're a vampire, or even mention it
• For some people, adding glitter to your body would give an extra effect.

Warnings

• Don't get into any fights, be the mature one.
• Don't be too harsh on yourself and be friendly, in a sense. You don't want to have no friends!
• Other people may not be able to accept this change. There is a high possibility that people will make fun of you. Don't attempt this unless you are willing to ignore their jibes.
• Drinking anyone's blood is extremely dangerous and should never be done. It is an excellent way to spread diseases such as HIV and AIDS as well as developing diabetes, you are also likely to be committed to an asylum.
• and don't go around Biting people.
