... with Damon Salvatore.
That's right. I'm stepping out on this:
For this:
I can't help it.
I DVR'd The Vampire Diaries but then I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I had commitment issues which can all be laid at the feet of Angst Goddess and her Wide Awake Twilight fan-fiction masterpiece/time-suck. I got hooked, read it like a starving person gobbles food, and then.... And then. She didn't post new chapters FOR. EVER. Days, weeks, months... purgatory!!! But I was in luuuuvvvvvv!
Since then I've been a little gun-shy about falling in love again. And you know how it goes with TV - you find a new series, you watch it, you fall in love, and then it gets cancelled. There's no closure - Hello, Southland, I'm talking to YOU.
Which brings us to The Vampire Diaries. I had 5 episodes piled up in the DVR queue, and last week I took the plunge and gorged on them. And I LOVE IT. Specifically, I love Damon Salvatore, played by Ian Somerhalder, aka The Hot Guy from Lost. He's the bad-boy vampire brother and he looks like he's having a blast playing a bad dude. It's fun to watch. And did I mention he's hot?
The Vampire Diaries also beats Twilight: The Epic Saga because you don't have to WAIT MONTHS for a NEW INSTALLMENT to come out, because there's a new episode EVERY WEEK. [Every Thursday night on the CW at 8 p.m./7 central, you don't even need a TV, you can watch it online here!] I highly recommend Episode 6, Lost Girls, because Ian Somerhalder dances around without a shirt. Or maybe he's wearing a shirt but it's unbuttoned. I was too distracted by his abs, which were NOT airbrushed on, to note his exact state of undress.
The Vampire Diaries beats Twilight in one other important way: Ian Somerhalder is THIRTY. Not twenty-three, or twenty-four, or, sweet Jesus, seventeen. Legality is not in question, and at thirty, there's a chance he knows how to take care of his business AND my business, which automatically qualifies him as hotter than those other infants.
No need to worry about getting arrested for this:
When you have this:
I know, I know - go to your happy place now, it's OK.
Sources - OK I'm not really good with sources, because Google Images is like crack for me. But in order of appearance from top to bottom the photos are from: Gawker, spoilersguide.com, fanpop.com, and lost.cz. And aren't the links self-explanatory?
Damn it, I wasn't going to watch it. I was COMMITTED to NOT watching it! Every time I walked past a bus shelter with the larger than life pic of the three of them looking all dark and sexy mysterious, I told myself no. No, you will not get mildly obsessed with a THIRD vampire story in less than a year! You are NOT a fifteen year old girl anymore. You got over your vampire fixation two decades ago, dammit. WTF?!
ReplyDeleteAnd then you had to post the pictures of the hot guy from LOST.
Shit.
PS- I am so utterly amused by your blog.
PPS- My happy place is on that beach.
Don't EVEN make it sound like you are hot for movie-Edward, because I know you aren't! (Uhmmm, didn't you say the only time he did it for you in the movie when it was all dark and you couldn't see his face!?) You are cheating on book-Edward!
ReplyDelete****embarrasing ramble to follow****
I was confusing the two Edward's for a while, I admit. Yes, my lust for RPattz was...uhmmm...*influenced*, uhmmm...*accentuated* (yeah, I like THAT word better)...accentuated by my love for Book-ward. I have now perfected seperating my love for both Edward's...and I would DO either ANYTIME!!!
Okay, now that I have gotten THAT out of my system...uhmmm, hot guy from Lost? Sorry, never really watched it. That first picture he is all hawt but in that last one he reminds me of one of the actors who played Merry or Pippin in Lord of the Rings! And THAT movie was all about VIGGO!!
I mean, come on...DAMN it I can't figure out how to attach a picture in my reply...and I had the perfect Aragorn picture! Be glad or I would have also attached a pic of the hobbit "the guy you are cheating on Book-ward with" resembles. And that would have ruined it for you :)
Oh, and I would like to watch The Vampire Diaries with you, but I have to forgive you for, I don't know...picking on my pudgy (your word, I believe), British boy's abs!
Now I have to add *airbrushed abs" to my "complimentary close"; yeah, I looked up that damn term although I thought there was a shorter name!
Pudgy, airbrushed abs, no hair-washing, flannel wearing, crooked smile toting, dork-a-licious, beautiful bastard british boy lovin' lrb
OK, I watched the first two episodes of VD and I'm not sure that hot guy from LOST can save that show.
ReplyDeleteBut that doesn't make hot guy from LOST any less hot.
