Who's Your Vampire?

Brandi has this friend, Aleah. Last month, right before Brandi was out for those six days, Aleah told her that she was a vampire. Brandi, of course, didn't believe her, and the whole time she was out of school, she worried about this. Not because she believed Aleah, but because she wanted to PROVE that Aleah was lying. (if you know Brandi at all, you know this is normal for her)

A few days into Brandcation (as Brandi called her sick time) she figured it out. She was going to ask Aleah to show her her fangs. That would prove once and for all that Aleah was NOT a vampire.

Brandi comes home from school that first day back, and tells me that Aleah is "one smart cookie". When Brandi asked to see her fangs, Aleah told her that only grown up vampires, like her parents, have fangs, and that hers were still coming in. She said she wouldn't have her full set until she was 12. (I am loving the imagination on this kid, BTW)

Since then, Brandi refers to her as "vampire chick". She is still trying to figure out a way to prove Aleah is lying, but for now seems to have accepted the fact that she will have to wait until they are 12 too see if the fangs come in.

Well, last night at Brandi's program, we were walking out of the gym when a little blond girl with blue eyes starts waving like mad at my girls. Brandi looks at me and says, "vampire chick".

I was shocked, and I don't know why, but I was not expecting her to be blond. I was picturing a dark haired, brown eyed girl. I think it's all the Twilight. I hear vampire, I see Edward in my head. Weird, I know.

If you think of Edward too, and want to discuss your fascination or maybe even meet a "real" vampire like Aleah's parents, check out vampire chat. I may have to check this out, just because I am curious if there are adults out there who really think they are vampires. The site is 100% free, and you can even use your webcam. This means I can really check out some of these people. Do they dress in black and wear black lipstick? Do they really put in some fangs and get into the roll of "vampire"? It definitely has my curiosity peaked.
