XDD, well you can't blame him... he's not used to hanging around with a vampire all the time. XD

You don't have to have hung around with a vampire to have picked up the idea that they drink blood. Not in our culture, anyway.

Well it's the fact that you're actually hanging with one and you're not trained to think "Oh hey, everything they carry with them is blood"... especially with how Aric acts. XD

Maybe it's just a sign that I have watched/read/eagerly consumed too many vampire materials to find that at all surprising. O:

-shrug- XD

I know I would still jump at the sight of tons of blood in a fridge.


Case in point: I'm very very used to taxidermied animals of all varieties and it doesn't phase me in the slightest... but once I was walking down some stairs in a friend of the family's house and I came face to face with a mountain lion and I froze solid, my blood even went cold. I was just stuffed. XD So I pet it, said "nice kitty" and walked back to the living room.

Heh, mountain lion on the stairs.

See, that's what you get for living in Pennsyl-tucky, as Dad would say.

Meh, it was NEAT, once I got over the initial shock. A lot of things do that to me though, even if they aren't necessarily scary.

Like I was handed a tarantula in a glass block once (it was encased in it, dead) and I was holding it, listening to the zoo guy, caught the spider in my periphs (IN MY HANDS, mind you) and I jusmped slighly from shock. XD My brain forgot to register the glass encasement for a split second.

Well, y'know, "big hairy spider" is more primally wired than "nice safe glass block enclosure."

This is true. XD

But I was still holding it. XD

Probably your brain takes significantly less time to understand "big hairy spider" than it does to grasp that the spider is not crawling on TOP of the block that your brain can feel you holding.
