Important Stuff about VAMPIRES

I made fun of my sister in law when she loved Twilight.
Then I read it, and yes, I too loved it.

Then there was Sookie.
I sped through those books faster than most humans can read.
(And read every book Charlaine Harris ever wrote.)

And then, sister in law turned me on to the diaries.
Vampire Diaries.

And I was so easily and obsessively hooked.

So much so, that as I have to wait the whole summer for NEW Vampire Diaries, I decided to indulge in some Buffy. AGAIN.

And now it is worth writing about.

1. I cannot believe how many of my vampire WHORE girlfriends have never Buffy and Angeled.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

I guess I have just been crazy about vampires longer than most of you? I watched every BLADE, I Van Helsinged and Interviewed them. At 17, my most hot and heaved celebrity crush was Gary Oldman in Dracula. I loved Paul Reubens in Buffy the movie, and died and went straight to heaven when Joss pulled out his version of Buffy.

Elena and Buffy both come from a long line of vampire slayers. They both hopelessly love THE WORST VAMPIRE gone good, a guy who sneaks blood bags from the blood bank. In fact, Stefan looks a whole lot like Angel, no?

THE ANSWER IS YES.

In fact, as I go through this journey, (ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING!) I have to admit, it pales my love for the diaries, and strengthens my love for my real first vampire obsession.

Because when Joss did it, no one else had.
Because in the 90's the kids didn't drink so much.
Because Buffy isn't a whore that makes out with everybody in town.

I still love the Salvatores.
But Damon can never be the bad boy gone heartthrob showstopper that Spike is going to be once he hits the storyline.

Because Billy Idol trumps Rob Lowe lookalike every time.

If you love Vampire Diaries, give a little credit to it's MOTHER. You don't have to spend the summer depriving yourself of the good stuff. Every Buffy and Angel episode awaits you on Netflix on demand.

You can thank me later!
