I'm sorry, I just can't help it...

So um, do vampires need to *thinks of a delicate way to say this* eliminate waste from the body?

I'm still learning all these things, and I was curious. If I mention it somewhere if it's a real need or just something I decided vampires should have to do. I mean some of us still eat regular food, so I figure there would still be a need to get rid of what wasn't digested.

Speaking of digestion, does that still work the same, do vampire bodies still break down and absorb nutrients from consumed food?


So many questions...


I know, I know. I'm odd.

Thinking better of the tactile investigation, he dulled his senses back to human norm. If he made himself nauseous at this point, he'd have to throw up in his drawers, and that just wasn't any kind of fun no matter how useful the information gleaned would be. Besides, explaining to people that you'd heightened your sense of touch while taking a crap would probably be viewed as very, very strange.

I'm inclined to agree... but I also need to disagree.

My family talks about this stuff - I mean shit - at the dinner table.

Oh man, my family never discussed this sort of thing, except in low whispers when there was a problem. The conversation would go something like;

"Do we have any" *voice drops* "imodium/milk of magnesia/or something?'

"Yeah it's in the cabinet in the back. Is everything," *voice drops*" ok?"

*still in a dropped voice.* "Yeah, I just need a little help. Thanks."


The medicine is taken and another word is said. Unless a trip to the dr is waranted and then another whispered conversation would take place and we were the only two freaking people in the house.

I do it with my kids too... *snerk*

"Mommy my tummy hurts."

"Oh, do you need to" *voice drops* "go poopy?"

In the kitchen. The kitchen table's too small for more than 1 or 2 people to eat at.

Ok...we talk about this away from the dinner table, and not necessarily in low voices...but that's with family, or a close friend. I'm not prudish...but I don't have random talks with my co-workers, or groups of friends about 'bathroom business' lol. We don't even talk about insects at the dinner table :S My mom has a low nausea threshold lol.

I will admit though...Alec's blurb was entertaining. It's one of those things though...like seeing someone sitting on the john in a movie...a little goes a long way.

My family never really chatted about bathroom issues, but I had a friend whose dad would always ask "Hey boy, how'd everything come out?" and things of that sort. At school, there were a couple of folk who would use their own...um...scat...for lab treatments for bacteria and whatnot. Then, finally, I've had several coworkers of the following variety. "Oi! Oive gotta go drop th' A-Bomb! Time to take th' Browns t' th' Super Bowl! Har!"

So...yeah. I started in a pretty normal place and went from there.

I blame society.

My father is actually a textbook hypochondriac. So getting very in-depth descriptions of what's going in and coming out isn't unusual in our family, but we're apt to rag on him for it if he gets over-the-top. It's one of the only ways we can deal with it when he starts stressing out over a supposed illness so badly that his BP hits the roof.

:P

OK you people are some silly people to me.. It doesn't bother me to talk about it with family. Growing up it was like meh it's normal if there's a problem talk about it. Now with a stranger or a co-worker... no freaking way! But I am pretty goofy about it too... If we're home and I happen to pass by and the door's open so I can see he's in the bathroom (not even on the throne but just there) I'll just yell out really loud "POOP!" and make X jump. That's fun =)

Oh and playing with it... even for labs.. is just NASTY.

Talking about it with family can be funny.
Talking about it with family at the dinner table is yucky.
