Neither. I'd prefer to be a "Daywalker". All the strengths of being a vampire, without the weaknesses.

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

As long as you're not one of those cybermen cyborgs trying to get everyone else to go 'borg, I will not EMP you

Cyborgs, and the theory of Borg though, give me the wiggins.

The problem with forever is the forever part. Eventually, earth's gonna go. Forever, and nearly indestructible would mean you'd have to witness the death of all of earths inhabitants (even the cute ones) as whatever disaster(s) killed the planet and turned it into either a lifeless rock of tons of little rocks. And you'd just be floating in space, kinda screwed, possibly a mashed pulp and probably severely traumatized....

Sorry, sorry, I have thought of it though.

I for one, dig the underdog (pun intended). The Vampire life, methinks, is over romanticized. However good werewolves are hard to come by in cinema, so, I'd personally dig the awesome powers of the Underworld woofers (namely the ability to change at will) with the look of the Van Helsing werewolf. Then again a lot of werewolf lovers have settled on a person that can change at will anytime from human, to a large upright wolf looking body, to a full wolf. I'd be okay with that too.

I mean, why does it have to be a curse? When Vampirism is looked at nowadays as the coolest thing ever.....

The thing about the control a vampire has versus the control a werewolf has...

Vampires don't necessarily control themselves. I mean, not just the feeding thing. But in becoming a vampire, there's a very good chance your personality is going to change, and you have no control over what it's going to become. In essence, the person you are dies, and an impostor with your memories, but not your feelings, takes your place.

That's very true, by Joss' mythology there is no soul and it's really no longer you...

I for one, like my soul

But vamps are in control of themselves all the time, and they get their super-strength/senses all the time (instead of just in wolf form), and they get instantly beautified as well (while werewolves remain normal-looking people, or possibly ugly people depending)

This is just so full of fail...

Werewolves aren't in control over when they turn, but vampires aren't in control either. In a normal situation yeah, but once blood is thrown in vampires will lose control and the instinct to feed will take over. Therefore vampires are just as unstable as werewolves.

And "instantly beautified"? I wanna know what you're watching, cause in everything that I've ever seen with vampires they retain the same looks they died with, be it pretty or ugly. Now if you're refering to what they call in True Blood "Glamouring", then that doesn't have anything to do with looks. So far as I've seen vampires just look like normal people, just more pale.

Oh no, the zombies killed god!

True...

And I don't watch vampire movies, I read books (The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike is kinda what my mind defaults to for 'vampires'..), so..

Though, we both are right, since so many people have taken the basic concepts and twisted them into making a whole bunch of different definitions for them.......

Kelley Armstrong has written a load of books based on supernatural species and her werewolves are really cool. The female Elena is great (however she is the only as in her world 'wereism' or whatever is passed on through the male line) She's always struck me as who Buffy would be once she grew up and left the teen angst behind, and, this book verging on being a bonk'n'bite, she's as sexy as hell.

As to are the blokes, yum.

I do think though that it is a good thing that when they change they go fully wolf, as i can't think of any way they could make a werewolf with boobs anything but off-putting.

I'm going with werewolf - they have that whole back to nature/ability to sunbathe thing going for them.

Hmmm see it's just not working for me the whole wolf thing. It's toooooo animal! I mean we're talking fleas, poop scoops and having to take trips to the vet to have your claws clipped.

Nope. I'm not sold. While Vampires are animal to a point I think the link to being human is closer, and therefore more appealing.

Plus wolves do that whole hunting in packs thing... Does that mean in your human state you'd be more inclined (instincts taking precedence) to live with other werewolves in some sort of communial digs?

I think I'm more the solitary kind, incined to reside in a dark, gothic style manor.

I imagine when you're in wolf form, assuming you don't have control, no one's going to give you a ticket for public urination or going to expect you to clean up after yourself.

...That's actually tempting all by itself, just for the sheer mischief potential. Don't like your neighbor? Mwahahaha. Sweet, sweet, smelly revenge.

You may have to worry about the dog catcher or animal control, but I think when they find a confused naked human in their cages the next morning, things will probably resolve themselves.

Also, dogs and wolves in the wild naturally wear down their claws. It's the plush living nowadays that forces them to need clipping.

I'll agree with you that vampires aren't animals but thats mainly because what they actually are are corpses. bleurgh.

I can't recall a werewolf ever having gone to the vets, but i'm pretty sure poopascooping doesn't enter into the picture.

As for the pack thing, werewolve have lived in every kind of way, solitary, in packs, in networks, communities and not even knowing if they aren't the only ones, its flexible.

Were I a werewolf? I'm already a pack animal by nature, so why not - my entire life i've been surrounded by family, friends, multiple pets and random strays, i love the chaos and community so bring on pack life.

I can't do solitary, just like i couldn't do with out plants, trees, sunlight, noise, bickering, creme brulee, christmasses and a dozen other things which vampires don't seem that into.

Don't get me wrong, i'd love the chance to be all sexy and irrisistable (its only a glamour but then what is a push up bra?) dramatic and svelt. But after a while my own broodines and tortured soul searching for the meaning to an endless existence would just start to get right up my nose, 'd have to stake myself just for being a pretentious git.

And i'm barely a decent meat eater, i couldn't cope with a blood diet.

again, bleurgh.
