Day Six:
[Micah said] “Oh fuck, not another speech about the virtues of your Executioner buddy! I’m startin’ to agree with Jorick about that shit. If you think that those two haven’t killed humans then you’re living in a dream world.”
In her mind’s eye Katelina saw Jorick at the institute, holding the dead cop. “That’s different! It was self defense.”
Micah cocked an eyebrow. “Right. Puny humans pose a real threat. Look, we needed blood. I don’t know if you’ve hung out with hungry vampires before, but let me tell ya’ how it works. First you get hungry, then that turns into this gnawin’ pain in your gut. Ya keep waitin’ and it starts to hurt elsewhere; your fingers, your toes, then your hands, your feet – you get the picture? The longer it goes, the worse it gets. Pretty soon it’s like those castaway cartoons where your buddies start to look like a big slab of ham. And since we’re traveling with a big slab of ham, it’s to your advantage we feed on someone else, get it?”
.
Two lucky winners will each get one (1) “Got Blood?” T-shirt Transfer.
Put it on a t-shirt, a tote bag, a jacket – anything you want! All you need is an iron and an imagination. Directions are included.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check back tomorrow for another fun giveaway, and if you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the other Ten Days of Giveaways blogs!
If you were a vampire, who or what would you drink from? (I’ll share the most interesting answers(s) on facebook.)
Amaranthine by Joleene Naylor 
sharonstogner
/ May 27, 2012oh! love this graphic 🙂 I would drink from people if I didn’t have to kill them to do it. If I had to kill…then I would go after the bad guys, and people who go slow in the fast lane 😉
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Ha ha! The slow people in the fast lane are prime candidates 😉
DM Yates
/ May 27, 2012I love Micah. He’s a pretty good guy, really. He has an attitude and that’s why he survives.
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Yeah, he’s become one of my favorites!
alicia
/ May 27, 2012Id only drink from humans for sexual pleasure and if it was life or death for me otherwise I would drink animal blood.

Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Ah! A vegetarian vampire!
Thanks for stopping in, Alicia!
amy owen
/ May 27, 2012ANYTHING!!!!!! Love Micah, he is one of my favorites. Big softie (on the inside, at least).
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012That’s the spirit, Amy! 😉 Yeah, Micah is totally a soft touch who just pretends not to be, LOL!
Marta Kotzke
/ May 27, 2012From my hubby. I think it would be intensely intimate and sensual to share that with him.
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Ooooh! I like that answer, Marta!
Wendy
/ May 27, 2012I would most definately use a crazy glass withn a built in silly straw. Because as a vampire I would be a fun loving one. Trying to be the exact opposite of how they are supposed to be. It would be all about the ride through time and what fun you could have.
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Ha ha! Go, Wendy! I think you and Verchiel could get up to a lot of trouble!
Juli Hoffman
/ May 27, 2012Love the way this t-shirt transfer came out, Jo! 🙂
I’m not even going to pretend that I would drink from animals. I drives me batty when I get cat hair on my food. I couldn’t imagine sucking my meal through a furry filter. 🙂 I have to say, I’d pick on humans that have dismissed me, JUST because I’m a woman. As a human, I find it insulting. It’s 2012 people! As a vampire, I would TOTALLY use this to my advantage.
Example from work today:
“I have some questions. Can you get somebody to help me?”
“Sure,” I say. *Flashes huge smile.* “I’d be happy to help you. What would you like to know?”
“Oh… Don’t you have a guy around here? I’m sure I saw a guy.”
And…the world spins backwards on its axis.
(My day job doesn’t involve ANYTHING that would be embarrassing to talk to the opposite sex about. This person simply assumed that my ovaries would somehow interfere with my answers. Funny, they didn’t!) As a vampire, If I ONLY picked victims that made assumptions about me, based on my gender, I don’t think I’d EVER go hungry. Sad, but true!

Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Wow, really?!? Yeah, he sounds like a good candidate, too! I live such a sheltered life I am so… shocked for lack or a better word, at the sudden backwards leap the rest of the country seems to have taken all of a sudden!
Crystal Young
/ May 28, 2012I would drink from humons as long as I don’t have to kill them crystaley73 at yahoo dot com
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Verchiel says humans do taste better 😉 I’ll have to take his word on that!
Thanks, Crystal!
jennifer gruenberg
/ May 28, 2012I would go for what ever is tastiest unless i have to kill then i will go for really bad guys. syndiasia@yahoo.com
Joleene Naylor
/ May 29, 2012Maybe bad guys would be tasty? 😉
Thanks, Jennifer!
Shaylynn Gruenberg
/ May 31, 2012Well I would probably just eat extra rare steak since I eat steak anyways.I don’t think I could handle killing something and then eating it.Just to much blood and hands on for me.

jennifer gruenberg
/ May 31, 2012So your ok as long as someone else does the killing.
