Speaking of scary movies, one of my favorite movie monsters is Dracula. However if I would ever become one of the Count's flying squadron, I would definitely handle that whole vampire thing quite differently.
Resolutions if I ever become a vampire.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>

I would immediately purchase a "Hooked on Phonics" tape, in order to lose any Romania accent I may have.

I would not hunt in any community that has a Van Helsing in the phonebook.

I will not live in the traditional castle or mansion, a nice two bedroom ranch in the suburbs would be just fine. I also would be on friendly terms with my neighbors.

Speaking of my house, my home would have a good fire alarm, an effective sprinkler system and a state of the art burglar alarm system. It will be difficult for the Hero to kill me while under arrest for attempted breaking and entering.

There will be no windows, doors, elevator shafts or air vents accessing my Hidden Lair that have any sort of access to the outside and which sunlight can be directed down with mirrors.

If there must be windows they will be painted over and backed with steel plate so the Hero will face a rude surprise when he throws something through it at sunrise.

I would force myself to look concerned and not hungry when someone accidently cuts himself.

Despite not being able to go into the daylight, I'd at least get a tanning lamp. That "white as snow" look is a dead giveaway.

I would wear mostly jeans and a t-shirt, saving formal wear for special occasions only.

I would always carry a 38 on my person and become proficient in its use. If Van Helsing is holding me at bay with garlic, or I am unable to use my vampire powers for other reasons, I can always open fire. Nothing says the Hero can't be suffering from massive trauma before becoming lunch.

Crossbows, spears, arrows and other antique weapons with wood or large blades will be banned from the castle. There is nothing wrong with a fine collection of rifles and handguns.

I would not keep my coffin in the basement, that's the first place people look.

I would purchase a digital watch with an alarm. I will set this alarm for TWO hours before sunrise, giving ample time for traffic and other inconveniences.

When faced with a gang of spunky kids determined to stop my evil schemes, I would consider surrender... or mailbombs.

I would not engage a "Vampire Slayer" in martial arts combat, as that seldom seems to work out well.

More vampires means lower prey ratio: I would carefully consider if I really want more of us running around

I would make lots of long term investments.[/list]



Keep'em flying
