Pros and Cons of Dating a Vampire

Written by  Vickie Toro  
With the Twilight saga came an obsession with all things romance/vampire-related.  But we here at Comediva ask, “Is dating a vampire really all it’s cracked up to be?”

Below are the Pros and Cons of finding yourself an Edward or a Bill or an Eric or, hey, even a Pam or Jessica.vampires_071811_revised

Pros Cons
Your very own cooler during those long, summer nights. Cuddling during wintertime isn’t all that cozy.
You only need to buy food for one. You are food for one.
Rigor Mortis: saving money on Viagra! Hugs might feel a little stiff.
No in-laws! Some nutso vampire monarch might not approve.
They will never be too tired to get it on super late. But you might be.
They’ll always be able to find you, no matter where you are, if you’re in trouble. They’ll always be able to find you, no matter where you are.
If you get into a fight, all you have to do is un-invite them from your house and they have to leave. With permission from the vampire government, or with all of their club earnings, they can buy your place and never have to wait for your invitation.
They’re really good at giving hickies. You need to start investing in band-aids and turtlenecks.
They will never become not-hott. You will.
No pregnancy scares. All sorts of other scares: like them creeping up behind you super fast, or appearing in really unexpected places.

Vickie Toro

Comediva writer and performer Vickie Toro graduated from USC with degrees in I Don’t Know How to Do Practical Things Like Math and Maybe I Should’ve Listened to My Mother (i.e. Cinema-Television Critical Studies and Narrative Studies).  She spends her time thinking about deep things, getting distracted by not-deep things, and then gigglesnorting.    

To comfort her, Vickie's dad, a retired colonel with a heart of gold, emails articles about successful shy comedians.  To make her feel worse, her mother, a Korean with the heart of an ox, tells her how much money computer scientists like Jon, Vickie’s ex-beard, are making.  Then Vickie impersonates her, which isn’t really rebellion because her mother says Vickie owes her a “Jagooah” (Jaguar).  In short, Vickie loves everything about comedy: the joy, the laughter, the women, etc.  But, just in case, she’s trying to find a way to make Jane Lynch her suga-mama.

Oh yeah, Vickie's also the star of Comediva's web series, "Mommy Says."
