SO. Embarassing. Why am I posting this? This will come back to haunt me.

This is going to be my most embarassing post to date.

I have an obsession with Vampires. No, not just Twilight like every teen girl on planet earth. I also LOVE True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel. It's kind of a sick obsession I try to keep to myself.

I grew up hanging out with my dad and my brother every second weekend. When we would go to my dad's house we would rent or go to action packed movies. (I picked a movie one weekend. It was The Spice Girl's movie "Spice World," thus never allowing me to pick the movie ever again.)

Buffy had the perfect amount of romance & kicking butt. I had the best of both worlds right in one television show. So every Friday night I would watch Buffy on YTV. I wasn't embarassed either, because my brother would sit and watch it with me.

My addiction to Buffy never really ended. Then Twilight happened. Sigh. This is my #1 most embarassing passion. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would support a vampire flick where the vampires didn't burst into flames when they stepped into the sunlight. When I watched the first movie with my friends I was laughing for most of the movie. I found the awkward intensity hilarious.

After reading and watching the Harry Potter series, I knew that in order to really appreciate the movies you have to read the books (which are much better obviously.) So I decided to read the Twilight series. The books were well written, and I fell in love with them. When I watched the movies again, it began to make sense. (Why, oh why, did I have to go and read the stupid books??) I mean the movies aren't even that good!! Sparkly vampires, awkward voice overs & sub-par acting... All the makings of a disaster. And yet, I have seen each movie 4 or 5 times. YIKES. I JUST ADMITTED THAT.

I love True Blood. HBO is fantastic - duh.
I am currently watching season 2 of Angel.
I can't wait for The Vampire Diaries to start back up.

Diary, please keep this secret (except from the 2 people who actually read this thing?) I know I'm not alone in this obsession, but good God. I'm a COMEDIAN. I am supposed to be MAKING FUN of this crap.

Oy vey.

xoxo
