On fangs and stuff

December 26, 2009 at 11:53 pm · Filed under Roba

Okay. I’m getting obsessive compulsive again about vampires, and you guys have to bare with me.

But you can’t really blame me. I finished the two seasons of True Blood in the past 5 days. It’s really good. I finished the four Vampire Academy books in the week before. Twilight in the two weeks preceding that. I wouldn’t be normal if I wasn’t a little obsessed by now. After all, I’ve had a thing for vampires since I was a kid. But Anne Rice became Christian and started writing about Moses, and I had no proper way of feeding my vampire addiction until the world went into a vampire craze.

Thank you, World, for going into a vampire craze.

I’m seriously considering going to the dentist who recently molded my smile and ask him to make me tiny fangs. The sad thing is, my mouth is originally designed to have fangs. Before braces, genetically-messed-up-teeth fixing surgery, and all that shit.

I was born with two missing front teeth. That meant that my canines were a little too in the front for a regular set of teeth. It runs in the family. My orthodontist had a simple solution: build the canines to look like regular teeth, then unbuild the teeth next to the canines to look like canines. Ta da. Normal teeth. Brilliant solution, if you ask me.

    I know what you mean exactly i used to be an addict of Anne Rices books, i’ve seen all Christopher Lee Dracula movies. nosferatu and much more, I’ve finished true blood in two days, but i hate things when they become a Stereotype or even a hype!!!, have you seen or read “Låt den rätte komma in”, “let the right one in” or “let me in”???, it is by far the best vampire materials i’ve ever came across, so bad hollywood are remaking the movie, they have their way of ruining everything…

    Don’t trust her people, she’s a vampire. Those so called new teeth are fake! It’s just a facade, she’s trying to lure us in for the strike. BEWARE!

    As a dentist, i’m genuinly alarmed.

    That explains the vampire fixation. I think interview with the vampire was by far the best take. Your orthodontist is so much cooler than mine :)

    Zaiding, ah really? I haven’t heard of that. I’ll try to find it at Hammoudeh :) Thanks for the tip! I definitely need more vampire material.

    Chris, hahaha, I wish! :D

    Maxxed’ouT, what are you alarmed about?

    ExpatInSaudi, the sucky thing about Interview With The Vampire is that the movie is SO bad when compared to the books, but still better than The Vampire Lestat movie. Check out the books, they’re awesome :)

    I couldn’t resist not sending the link of let the right one in :-) i watched the movie then read the novel, a very good adaptation indeed.

    Ooooh. I became addicted to True Blood and watched both seasons in a couple of weeks. I’m anxiously awaiting the next installment.
    Always loved the Anne Rice books, too.
    I love being a vampire at Halloween. I got some custom fangs a few years ago (make a mold of the teeth in the cap so that they just fit over the teeth snug enough that no glue is needed to keep them on). The creep a lot of people out because they can never figure out how they stay on. Some of my students still think they were real (told them they only do that when I’m really angry or when I really need them.)

    Roba! you should watch Vampire Diaries. not sure if it comes in jordan, it airs in the u.s, and you can find the episodes on http://www.cwtv.com

    Zaiding, wow, looks awesome! I’ll definitely check them both out. Always love a good vampire movie/book recommendation. Thanks! :)

    Laura, I’m anxious about that too. I’m dreaming about it! Let’s hope it’s a good one. I didn’t know you can mold fangs… I’m going to go check that out next time I’m at the dentist. I think he will think I’m crazy.

    Layla, wow, I read those books many, many, many years ago when I was 11. JC Andrews is an AMAZING author. She has a book called The Forbidden Game that I still read every now and then. I asked about this show yesterday actually, but the corner DVD store didnt’ have it… I guess I’ll have to ask somewhere else. Thanks :)
