<\/p><\/div>"} 1 Get the attitude down! Remember that this type of vampire is not the kind that broods in a melodramatic fashion all day. You should be quiet and mysterious, but also relaxed and friendly. Act as normal as possible, in order to deflect awkward questions. Always act intelligent and polite but keep a darkness to yourself.

<\/p><\/div>"} 2 Be aware of your surroundings, and take interest in them. Stop to smell flowers, look at the tops of buildings, touch any stone decorations you like, and look at the sky once in a while. This is not exclusive to vampires-- in fact, it is a great way for anyone to reduce stress and enjoy their surroundings.

<\/p><\/div>"} 3 Carry interesting things. They do not need to be for anything, but they help you play the part by being there. Things like a skeleton key, an interesting charm, a Swiss Army knife, an antique looking sketchbook (they sell nice ones at both Barnes & Noble and Borders) and/or book to read. Basically whatever your imagination comes up with will do just fine. But keep it small, since you will probably be carrying it in a small pouch or in your pockets.Do remember a silvery key as a necklace or something. When someone asks what it is, say a family memento, passed down through generations.

<\/p><\/div>"} 4 Pick things to do. Most towns have something within walking distance that you can go to while "playing vampire." Going to a cemetery to relax, read, or write in your sketchbook is always good, but a park will do for this, and if you're good at climbing trees, then read, rest, or write up in the branches. Also, going to the library to read quietly, or going to a local coffee shop to calmly sip a warm drink are great activities. If there are any pretty old churches in your area, hanging around near them would work, too. Again, these activities are not exclusive to vampires, or to people who want to be vampires. They are quite relaxing, and commonly done.

<\/p><\/div>"} 8 Cover your mouth and nose lightly when at school, work etc., not like you're about to hurl though. Act like a scent is bothering you (their blood). If someone asks you what is wrong, just say "nothing, I am fine." Then stutter a little and then leave. You can also tighten your fist.
