I'm pretty much always sick so I don't know <.< I always just chill and don't do anything. I guess if I'm extra sick I like to eat way too much candy, and then just feel even sicker.

they glossed over a lot in the video games-
Actually, the first videogame (Redemption) was incredibly faithful to the source material, and strongly adhered to the rules of the game. The second game (Bloodlines) was a lot more loose on the lore because it was a FPS (you don't even gain levels) but still faithful enough (except for that caine bit :P they had to retcon a book to explain that one)
I don't remember that restriction in the rulebooks.
And yet its present on the white-wolf wikia. In fact, the antitribu version of the salubri are the exact opposite, their clan weakness is that they only gain nourishment via blood taken by force.
In fact, the Salubri shouldn't even be around in modern nights, if you go cannon.
And they arent. After their clan elder was diablerized by Tremere, they became mostly extinct. In modern nights there's only 7 salubri in the whole world at any given time.
Also I found this interesting little tidbit about the frenzy, showing it can be avoidable (Specially if you have a high willpower, something that trust me if I was an RPG character, I'd have by the boatload, along with strength)
In V:TM, frenzy is when the Beast takes over the vampire's personality, usually a result of
extreme stress such as starvation or public humiliation.
In Vampire the term only applies to the "fight" half of the "fight-or-flight" response, though Rötschreck (the "flight" half) is a similar experience in many respects. The primary purpose of the frenzy is to kill or otherwise neutralize the stimulus responsible for it,
so a vampire driven to frenzy will attempt to feed on anything she can catch whereas a character entering frenzy in combat will attempt to kill all nearby combatants.
@bolded part: Both of these can be avoided.
@underlined part: So if a rival vampire induces frenzy via discipline, all he's done is drive me even more to kill him. If innocent victims don't pose any threat, the beast ignores them. I suppose its still dangerous because under frenzy status you will try to kill ALL combatants, be them friends or enemies. But if someone is not a combatant, they're not at risk.

When I do get sick (which is hardly ever) I usually just lay around and sleep throughout the day.

@Rank- Public humiliation. Like if you get embarrassed at a store by an obnoxious cashier, you might wipe out everyone in it. Or if you ask for a girls number and she turns you down. Or if you slip and fall and everyone laughs.
Yeah- I'd want to risk mass murder every time something like that happens.

Vegemite has amazing healing powers.
Conversation I had with an American once:
Her: I tried Vegemite, it didn't really do anyhting for me though.
Me: How did you eat it?
Her: With a spoon.
Me: /facepalm

Ejem, I have Reina, why would I want to ask for a girl's number?. Two, why would I get embarrased when a cashier acts like a prick? I don't really see how that could count as "being humiliated".
You have a point on the slip and fall though, but its a risk I'd be willing to take :P

What is Vegemite?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite
It tastes amazing on toast with a fried egg and some sliced cheese.

Possibly explains why Australia is one of the top 5 beer-drinking countries in the world. :3

No that is explained by living on a hot island filled with things that want to kill you.
Want to kill you, not us. We've adapted

Hot?
Doesn't count =P It gets that cold here almost every winter, then jumps to 110 F. The majority of Australia, from what I understand, varies very little in temperature.

It depends. In the tropics (roughly a third of Australia is north of the Tropic of Capricorn), it doesn't get extremely hot (never more than 95°F) but it rarely drops below 85°F either.
As for the 3 main population centres: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, the variations get more extreme the further south you go. Melbourne can (unoffically) reach 122°F in summer but can drop as low as 14°F in winter, while Brisbane ranges from 95°F maximums in summer to 41°F minimums in winter. Winter also only lasts about 2 months in Brisbane, whereas it probably lasts 4 months in Melbourne (again, unofficially). Sydney falls between the two in terms of both temperature range and winter duration.
Inland
also gets extreme variations, but very few people live inland.

I'm a pitiful pathetic person when I'm sick. A whiney-ass baby. My comfort comes from my better half. She takes care of me til I'm all beddah!
