^^ I don't know about you, but I've got enough I want to do to fill at least another 200 years, and I'll bet I could think of much more before that time is up!

...And who says it has to be the same mind? Isn't that one thing we can change, even now? Remember that your mind would not be stagnant, even if you chose an eternal LD -- at least it wouldn't need to be; I suppose stagnation could be an option, but it seems a very odd choice!

And yes, it's amazing how the writers of those vampire shows portray the vampires... that they're alive for so long and do absolutely nothing with their lives seems pathetic to me (also very much against the lore established by the likes of Stoker and Rice). I wonder if they don't do it simply to give their viewers something to feel superior about.
