Hmmmmm, tempting. Maybe if I could figure out a way to sustain myself without having to always kill someone they yeah I'd do it. I wouldn't mind a few drawbacks to go along with immortality, but I'm hesitant to "power" my longevity with the lives of others.

Pfft no, I'd rather not be a pariah to society with various vampire hunters stalking me with various murder paraphernalia.

Of all the mythical creatures, vampires have go to be one of the worst. How about dragons? Would I like to be a dragon? Yes. Yes I would.

Substitute "vampire" with "dragon" and I'd take it.
Otherwise, fuck that noise. Especially anything that puts me in line with Bella Swan.

I'd become a vigilante vampire, wandering the country and possibly entire world just hunting down criminals. Oh, what, I need blood today? I'll just find the nearest gangster. I work at night, anyways, so I'm used to not being out much in the day, and I could just sit inside playing video games or on the computer. I'd see if my friends wanted me to turn them, so I'd have company, but wouldn't just turn random people into vampires.

Hell no. Ever since Anne Rice, vampires have been gay as hell. I noticed the OP's acknowledgement of Twilight vampires being different than previous vampires, but that doesn't mean that the older ones were any better.

Yes, but only if the nature of said vampirism meets the minimum requirments. I must possess my current manual dexterity, remain ambulatory, able to survive indefinately at the local red cross, and possess most of my current personality. Not being able to cross moving water, survive direct sunlight, or even remain on the human side of the uncanny valley are not an issue with me.

tl,dr: Yes, but only if I can continue my medical research career. Or work for the IRS. I'd settle for the IRS.

Pros: Impossible strength and dexterity, plus near immorality.
Cons: no more Garlic, silver stuff, or going places uninvited
Neutral: No sunlight but more gaming time
Answer: Fuck yes

I would need an official list of all the things I couldn't do if I became a vampire. Even then, I'd likely say no, but if you do it for love, that's another thing altogether. Even then, the facts insofar as one can get about a mythical condition, is that its a horrible curse. If it was so great, everyone would get it.

You know what? Yes. I would. 'Cause I can work around it. In fact, so can any vampire, really.

Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat really works, I'm sure. And silver... How much silver do you really think is out there? My forks? I can wear gloves to dinner! Big deal! As for garlic...I'm part Italian. Italian vampires aren't detered by garlic. (Just ask Count Guido!) As for houses... Oh, you won't let me in? Fine. I'll burn your house down. I'm a vampire, dammit. You can't fucking stop me.

(Oh, and can't forget about stakes. Do you realize how many problems you stop with simple bodyarmor?)

That depends--does vampirism come with a free supply of SPF twenty quadrillion? Because if it doesn't, I'd have to pass that one up.

Let's weigh up the pros and cons here. I'm going to assume, for the record, that we're talking about vampires that still have blood-flow, because contrary to popular belief most fictional vampires still have some sort of blood-flow in their bodies, as do most of the traditional vampires in older myths and legends (that pre-date Stoker and Le Fanu), and indeed a lot of traditional vampires needed this because they used sex as a tool for attracting their prey, similar to the incubus and succubus that are so commonly associated with the vampires of legend.

Pros:

- I find the gothic style to be really attractive.
- I have a bizarre fascination with darkness and the occult.
- I'd be immortal.
- I'd be much more able to seduce girls.
- I'd be able to turn into certain animals, which would be awesome.
- I'd be able to limit my prey to criminals, thus doing society a favour while I feed.
- Super strength.
- Super speed.

Cons:

- I like garlic.
- I like daylight.
- I have to cross running water to get to plenty of places, including work.
- Immortality is no good when all your friends and family eventually die.
- Too much risk of me touching silver.
- It'd annoy my flatmates if they have to 'invite' me back into the flat every time I go out.
- Angry mobs would kind of get annoying after a while.

Hmmmmm, it's a tough call. It depends. If it's a sexy female vampire who seduces me then turns me into one, a la most vampire fiction, then maybe yes. Probably, though, I'd prefer to stay human. There are too many benefits of being human that I wouldn't want to give up.

If I get the sexy female vampire lovin' anyway, without being turned, then sure, that would work. Or if I could be a vampire like the sort on TV series 'Being Human' then I'd be willing to be turned. But otherwise, probably not...
Half the cons you could fix, to an extent. Since the flat is your home I don't think you'd need to be invited, Angry mobs probally would be too afraid of you and if your sneaky they would never notice you. Most things arn't pure silver dunno if that matters though. You could turn your family and friends too if they wanted and for crossing water and garlic. You could invent a substitute for garlic or a dam for the water.

You could use your powers to persuade a rich couple to invest in the rivers being blocked up. You have all time to deal with your problems.
