If you were undead.

are vampires really undead?
Or are they something else completely...
Just as werewolves aren't undead, they're quite alive (at least according to the majority of werewolf legends).
The undead would mainly be zombies and reposessed corpses.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

What is a "reposessed corpse" (a reanimated corpse)?MattyD

Last I checked they were on the list of traditional undead creatures. I guess it depends on which definition you go with, but most of the time you have to die first before becoming a vampire.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

But I am already undead and enjoying myself pretty well....What more can I ask for ?
The romantic image of an über-programmer is someone who fires up Emacs, types like a machine gun, and delivers a flawless final product from scratch. A more accurate image would be someone who stares quietly into space for a few minutes and then says “Hmm. I think I’ve seen something like this before.” - John D
i would be an undead zombie but not a nasty one, more of a comical one like that guy from Shaun Of The Dead who he keeps locked up in his shed with the playstation
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Yes, vampires are undead. The term "undead" was coined by Bram Stoker in his original book Dracula. Wikipedia has a large list of what is normally considered undead things. Undead creatures are considered evil -- I'm not evil so I wouldn't be any undead thing.
I told Santa what I wanted for Christmas and he washed my mouth out with soap.

If you read the books by Kelley Armstrong, she talks about vampires as being supernatural but not undead.
They're extremely long lived, but will eventually die.
They also seem to have souls (or spirits of some form) which can become ghosts after death and come back to haunt the living.
