I might make a lousy vampire... *yawn*

[bladespark]

Yay, I've got two new comics up. Now I need to get cracking on the next one. I don't know how people who do daily comics manage. This is really being a pain. About two more and I'll be going to the twice weekly schedule, partly because Boardie Con is forcing me to do so. I can't count on being able to update from there after all.

Ooo, speaking of BC, I finally got my fangs. I'll be wearing them to BC for sure. He he he! They're a touch longer than I'd really wanted, but quite real looking and very cool. I think I'll wear them on the plane over. *grin* What use are fangs if you don't freak a few people out with them, eh?

I've discovered why vampires have a liquid diet. I can't clench my teeth together with the fangs in. The angle of the fangs keeps my teeth apart, so there's no way for me to chew anything. I have to take them out to eat. Getting them in and out is a bit tricky too. And when they're in I've got a bit of a lisp. Hopefully I'll get over that, but I'm not sure... Oh well.

And shortly I will be off to bed. I need sleep. Much as I love the night life, I have to be up during daylight too often to really be a vampire. Heck, I almost have a tan, and I do have a few freckles. Undead creatures of the night do not have freckles.

Eating: How to fix the fang problem

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if you noticed or not, but a few of my teeth naturally came several sizes larger than the rest[1]. Because mine don't come out, however, I've had to work out a way to eat with them still in place. To chew with your fangs in, when you close your mouth, hold your lower jaw just a fraction of an inch off of center. Because the outer face of the fang is slightly curved, one fang can go inside the lower teeth, and one outside, and you'll still have most of your other teeth meeting well enough to chew.

Be careful, though. I don't know what bond you use to hold the fangs in place, but my guess is it probably wasn't meant to be strong enough to hold when chewing...

Heh... thanks for the advice, but I have a totally different style of fangs. They're attatched to a retainer (what I get for letting an orthodontist do them, he he he) and there's just no way around it. Also, food can get under the retainer even if I did figure out how to chew, so I'd have to take it out and clean it after eating anyhow.

But it was a good thougt. *toothy grin*
