It’s no secret, at least amongst friends and family, that I am addicted to vampires. I’ve always had a thing for them — Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Lost Boys, Van Helsing. Then they began to mix werewolves in with them (I’m a werewolf fiend as well; American Werewolf in London anyone?) — Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Underworld Rise of the Lycans. Heaven. Pure heaven.
Then came Twilight. Swoon. I thought I found the god of all vampires: Edward Cullen. He’s absolutely perfect — and then they get Robert Pattinson to play him in the films. COMPLETE heaven.
But Edward, alas, is just a boy. That’s right, I said it. It makes me love him no less, but he is just a boy. Enter True Blood and Eric Northman, the 6’5, viking vampire MAN.
Normally, I like my men with dark hair and never long. But with Eric the Viking – I just can’t help myself. Maybe it’s the way the book portrays him. Whatever it is, I’d gladly give up my human life to be with him.
In May True Blood comes out on DVD and I already pre-ordered it on Blue-Ray which is a big step since we don’t have many blu-ray DVDs (Pinocchio 70th anniversary, Outbreak, Independence Day, Swordfish and soon Twilight). I cannot WAIT to watch it in HD/BR. Yay! Just wish it would get here faster — HBO has been playing the episodes on HBO2 EAST but not WEST and for some reason, we only get WEST. (Huh?)
My crazy vampire loving gal, I just simply can not agree that Eric wins over Edward. After all Edward is the nice loving selfless vampire whereas Eric is just plain evil! ;)
Oh but Wendy, have you read the books? I mean, in the beginning, Eric is well, Eric. But I fell hard for him in book 3 and even harder in book 4. LOL Maybe I just like the fact that he is willing to have sex? ROFL. Edward is definitely the perfect guy, but Eric is like the fantasy man. IE You have fun with Eric but marry Edward. ;)
Although….. he seems to be softening up. Are you reading the books? The next one comes out in May – yay!
LOL! The only person I know that’s into vampires even more than I am! I agree, Eric is awesome! :)
Eric Northman is the hottest thing around! Edward is still a baby. Anyone remember Lestat? I would give up anything for Eric and Lestat! Yummy!
