Yeah, and there dietary preferences are definitely off-putting. I have heard
some people portraying vampires as sexy, but I find it rather revolting. I
don't think I'd want some guy to go right to the jugular, thank you very much.
I'd rather keep my blood in my body. I'm not that fond of mosquitoes for the
same reason. Regards, Kim.
