Sookie Stackhouse has eaten my  brain. Her and Eric Northman.

What do you mean, my nonexistant readers may ask?

I first discovered these novels the end of my senior year in high school.  Our library had just ordered them abbout a month before I graduated, so there wasn't a lo t of time to read them. I only managed to get through the first two before the library closed for the summer. But back then I did not realize what I do now.

ERIC DESERVES LOVE AND AWESOME!

Also, Bill annoys the shit out of me.

This past summer, for lack of anything to do or read, I picked up a copy of Dead Until Dark at the local Wally World to read. I quickly got sucked in. In quick succession I bought books 2-4. After that, I found out, to my dismay, that the others were sold out or unavailable.  There was much cursing and gnashing of the teeth. I won't ever admit to the foot stomping or fist waving that others may say I did.

But fortune once more smiled upon me. I managed to hook my BFF on these books. I now had a fellow fangirl to...fangirl with.

And, lo, upon entering the sacred walls of Wally World once more, the fifth book appeared before me, waiting to be plucked and read.

However, my local WW has one flaw. It apparently does not want to carry the sixth book. No clue why when it has 1-5 and 7-8. But through a judicious text message conference with the BFF I learned that I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THAT DAMN SIXTH BOOK. With my brain screaming at me that the one missing out was the book and not me, and that I could learn what happened by piecing it together from the next two books and the internet, I bought books 7 and 8 (unrelated note, at the same time I also bought a copy of Julie and Julia on a whim).

But back to the important stuff, Eric.  Eric is by far the best vampire ever. I'm not the only one to think this.  BFF agrees with me and she also really hates Bill. Possibly even more than me. Eric is made of awesome. Not to mention the prettyful.

Now, I am just waiting for the ninth book.  Either to come out in paperback, of for me to haul my lazy ass to a book store and pick up a copy. Or you know, online shopping but probably won't happen. I have textbooks to buy (blech!!). That sixth book should be on the lookout too. I'm hunting for it. Because I need a complete set of these books. The addiction center of my brain says so.

So, I've decided that maybe I am going to de-lurk and give this LJ thing another try. First time I don't think got a fair chance. See how it goes. Worst comes to worst, an online journal that no one will read but will still make me feel better. Maybe. Doubt anyone cares....

Hopefully this entry will give me the courage to actually go and do stuff? out there on LJ. Have also remodeled said LJ in the hopes that by doing so I will give myself the much needed kick to get off my lazy cyberspace ass. Which seems to be pretty content to be lurking and skulking around in the shadows of the Internet.  I think I've planted roots there. Certainly had a long enough time to do so.

So if anyone actually reads this, wish me luck?

Has anyone ever wondered who the Bloody Baron was when he was alive? And why he was covered in blood, and if the blood was actually his own? Also, I wonder why Peeves is so scared of him. What happened to cause that exactly? Peeves seems to only respect the Bloody Baron and Dumbledore. Ack...I just have too much spare time on my hands if I can think of stuff like this.

OH! and Ron, does anyone else think Ron is getting a little jipped in the books? I mean Ron gets on my nerves endlessly, I won't deny that, but he is a genius at chess, and yet a complete dumbass in everything else. Is he just a savant at chess or something? While Ron is annoying, I think he does have some potential.

And Snape is too damn cool for words. I don;t care if he killed Dumbledore. Snape is just....awesome.

Gah! I HATE people who just can't keep their hands to themselves! I don't like being touched by other people and when they come up and do it just makes me go off. Grr.....

eh...tired but I decided since I finally joined, might as well post. And it is almost 3 in the morning. Gah, going to be so tired tomorrow at school. And horror of horrors I think I have a test. Bleh...going to bed I think...need some sleep or I will be entirely worthless.
