i still absorb energy from the sun. the problem with sun(as well as flourescent lights) probably has more to do with UV rays than the light itself. i prefer pranic energy, mostly because it's easier to come by, but all other senses are hightened, and i'm most comfortable in a semi-dark to dark environment, though i cant see perfectly with no light at all. i never searched for this to be real anyways. things just developed on their own. in addition, we dont survive solely off of blood/energy, again, thats strictly in myth. we still eat food, its just that we still feel hungry after we're physically full, and it still doesnt provide ALL of what we need. personally, i've begun getting much worse with my vampiric symptoms(as if this wasnt a pain in the a** as is), and have begun overeating. quite a few, though not most, have this problem. now of course, this won't convince you. your mind is already made up, so why continue debating? however, i am simply stating things as is.

Actually, debates are a sharing of information. As I said I'm in it in hopes someone can actually show me something as I want to believe it, last I checked that's hardly 'having my mind made up' at all. Also I find it hard to believe someone can be sensitive to something they do often, or vice versa. Those with lactose intolerance avoid milk because they are sensitive to it, those sensitive to heat avoid going outside in the summer or being near open flame. I don't know anyone with sensitive hearing that goes to rock concerts without earplugs (thus defeating the purpose) nor anyone who draws off the sun, yet is sensitive to it. I don't understand that at all. Also not to get personal but the person in your signature is incredibly pale showing minimum exposure to the sun, a hood, and sunglasses, all protection against sunlight... so assuming that's you the image shows clearly an avoidance of the sun, not the opposite.

Please, in my second last post could you show me said name calling? Nowhere did I say "you're a _____" at all... The most derogatory name I called anyone was a human... and if one considers that an insult that's not exactly my fault. Either way you need not fear since I rarely visit this board anymore anyways. It's no wonder why.

Hun, simmer down. Re-read what I posted, I did not state who was using offencive terms, stop intrepreting that I said you were name-calling.

What I did say was that ther was a difference in the level, not in any way stating "ZOMFG both of you quit it, lyke, your all saying each other's a *insert ridiculous GD insult* lyke, whatever, lyke." I left it open for intrepretation as to what I meant. Obviously it's not a good idea to do so with some members.

And don't start off that I'm inserting some kind of double meaning and whatever such, if I'm going to start with a slanging match I do it openly, it's much more sport that way.

"As an objective viewer, to me it seemed as if you were inciting agressive behaviour in the language you used, provoking him to react badly.

Perhaps I was misconstrewing, but I think this guild should be a place for discussion where childish name-calling isn't a part of, unlike other places *cough*ED*cough*"

The first paragraph states you are referring to me. That's shown with the multiple 'you's' and the fact that it's in reply to my comment to you.
The second paragraph clearly says "childish name calling" which is what I was asking about. I don't see how it could be any simpler than that.

If that's not good enough your previous post stated:

"A message to Dr490n and Ndoki, before either of you post anything more I'm giving you both a warning; cool it.
Both of you have a differnece of opinion, yes, but that is absolutely no reason to start throwing insults at each other over and using insulting and abusive language. "

Note how you specify it's a message to both Dr490n and myself, and then afterwards you accuse those who are targetted (myself) as throwing insults.

She said this guild should be a place free from childish name-calling. She never said you called anyone names.

Again, she did not say you threw insults. She said there was no reason for insults to be thrown.

I've already mentioned that I try to avoid the sun. However, feeding off of energy does not have to do with physical contact. It has to do with reaching out with ones own energies and drawing in the energies of others. Personally, I find this surprisingly simple. To feed off of the sun's energy, I simply reach out with my aura and gather the heat in. this is uncomfortable however, because it seems to make my body heat up quite quickly and I panic. So, I CAN feed off of the energies of the sun, and have done so before, but it's more the elemental energy of fire that I can feed off of, as well as work best with. I do alot of spellwork with fire, and I have been able to scry with fire since i was a child. However, I do prefer to remain out of the sun, so I don't often feed from the sun's energy.

Generally saying 'this isn't a place for childish name calling' means someone was, and if nobody was and she wasn't referring to anyone doing that, then she's just making hollow comments that have nothing to do with what's going on. Is that the case? Because if so I don't think comments not pertaining to the discussion going on should be posted as it takes away from the whole discussion.

funny how you say that but won't stop posting coments that do not pertain to the topic at hand.

It is the topic at hand in her case. In your case I find it hard to believe someone who truly needs to feed off something avoiding the best source for it, not to mention the closer one would be to it generally the less energy it takes to use it.

from the looks of it, she was saying that to DR490N, not you, and included

*yes, I aknowlege that there has been a difference in the level of retailation, but I still uphold what I have said, calm down both of you or stop posting in this thread*

I'm guessing for you. Knowing Isobel and her use of language, I'd say she was leaving an out clause for harrasment by you becuase you didn't actually insult DR490N, though, I'll defiantely agree with her that you seemed to be provoking him.

I think I should point out though that she's a mod, and therefore should be treated with respect and be listened to.

*sighs* ok, this needs to stop. After this, everything's going back on topic, no questions, no moaning, no bitching in the thread. Any more thoughts, complaints, death threats etc, go to me in my pm box.

Put this thread back on topic, and ABSOLUTELY NO off topic tangents. Just keep it civil and free from imbecility. If at all possible.

the sun itself contains a wholly different energy. it is not PRANIC energy, just HEAT energy and ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. I am a blood/prana/elemental/sexual vamp, with a few other things sort of mashed in there. i have no idea how it works, i just know that it does, and it helps keep me healthy.

Well to me i think vampires could be real but are just hidden by the shadows of the night.All my friends call me a vampire lol. I really have a been interest in vampires i mean EVERYTHING!
PostPosted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:19 pm


perhaps you should talk to a few of us then. theres quite alot of us. if you do a websearch for "modern vampirism" you should come up with some interesting results.

bear in mind that the reality is nothing like the movies. if someone claims to be 'immortal' or claims that they can turn you, they're probably bullshitting you. there are no immortals and there is no such thing as a turning. thats just crap that people added onto stories to keep kids from going anywhere at night.

All energy is derived from the sun though. The energy people use to think, stay alive, warm, and anything else comes from food, either animals or plants, and the animals get their food in turn from plants or other animals that eat plants (possibly a few steps, but all boiling down to one thing) or some smaller organisms that contain chlorophyll which all get their energy from the sun. Everything can be traced down to that, even human harnessed electrical energy all comes from the sun, it's heat causes winds which drive windmills, and cause water to evaporate, condense, and fall, creating rivers for dams, etc.
