I want to pretend that I'm just this normal, everyday, average girl who goes about life in a serious & responsible manner. (*I can hear my friends laughing at that statement already*).
I want to pretend that I don't get madly...deeply...obsessed by a T.V. show and turn into this 14 year old fangrrl with vivid fantasies. (*Again, I can hear my friends lying over this blatent lie*).
But I must confess. I am insanely obsessed with the brilliant HBO Series True Blood.
I suspected as much when I went to my aunts house and spent two solid days watching Season One on D.V.D. What makes this story even sadder is that I booked a hair appointment as an excuse to go to my aunt's place to watch it and TOOK THE DAY OFF WORK under the pretense of a hair cut. I did have the hair cut btw. But that was after we watched the series from 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday until 5:00 a.m. on Thursday watching the show.
So how do I know I am officially a Fang-Banger? Let us examine the symptoms.

- Downloading the theme song "Bad Things" by Jace Everett after doing a CD store run to see if I could buy it.
- Buying Book One and Two of the "Sookie Stackhouse Books" by Charlaine Harris but only with the HBO Covers.
- Renting the rest of the books out from the library
- Rewatching my favourite Eric/Bill/Sookie scenes on the weekend
- Madly e-mailing everyone under the sun, or discussing it with everyone under the sun, about the show.
- A newfound interest in Civil War History (which if you watch the show you will understand why).....and watching the Ken Burns Civil War Documenatary on PBS
- Adding Sweden to your must travel list (after you visit Louisiana of course).
- Reading every blog on-line and adding input to the "Twilight vs True Blood" debates (which there is no debate...it's True Blood all the way).
- Leaving a Bridal Shower early so that you can go to your aunts to watch the latest episode of True Blood (and getting your aunt to drive into town to pick you up).
- Alternating between sighing and crying over the latest episode of True Blood.
- Spending your work days on You Tube watching episode clips and fan-tributes.
- Wondering what synthetic true blood tastes like. Wondering if we can buy it...lol.
- Rescheduling your time off so you can watch the next episode.
- Look into adding HBO to your tv just for the one show.
- Picking sides in the Eric vs Bill debates. (*Squeee...Eric).
I have it bad my friends. I have many other symptoms that I don't want to admit to. Let's just say that I will probably need an intervention after this season is over.
So I will leave you with this tribute video to watch. It's fantastic!!!... (and yes...before you ask...I did also request the Thriving Ivories from my library...sigh).
