Vampire Craze

I just saw a preview for the new Twilight movie, "Breaking Dawn." I started to get really excited about seeing the movie, and then are started to feel a little embarrassed. Teenage vampires falling in love, getting married...really?

But then I realized that the Twilight saga is more than Team Edward or Team Jacob for me. It's about my love for vampires in general. I have been a big fan of vampires for a really long time, and the Twilight saga is just another outlet for me to enjoy those blood suckers.

It all started back in high school when I saw "Interview With a Vampire". I loved that movie! For me it wasn't about how hot the vampires may have been or that there was a love story. It was about how badass and funny the vampires are.

Vampires are the badass-iest of the supernatural if you ask me. They are quick, smart, and strong. They are funny in that they are so out there, so confident, and witty. I love watching vampires because I like to laugh and see them kick butt.

After seeing "Interview With a Vampire" I fell in love with the tv series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I had seen the movie, but it was too quirky. The show, however, had more dimension and character development of the vampires. Spike and Angel quickly became my favorite characters. Besides the show "Friends" there hasn't been another show I was sad to see end like "Buffy". I was happy, though, that they continued on with the show "Angel", but that too had to end.

The idea behind "Blade" was pretty awesome. I love the character and the story line, but for some reason the movies don't hold my attention. Maybe it is too dark...who knows.

My favorite right now is "TrueBlood"! Eric and Pam make me laugh and I love watching them kick butt. I hate that the seasons only last a couple of months. I need more vampire on tv.

So that is why I am happy to see the next Twilight movie. More witty vampires being badass. My favorites in the saga are Alice and Emmett. Both are pretty tough and funny. In the movies, Edward is too wimpy for my taste. Too much crying over Bella. Buffy should come kick Bella's ass.

Yes I am not embarrassed anymore that I have a love for Vampires. It's not like I want to be one or anything. I am not hoping to fall in love with a vampire any time soon (of course if he looks like David Boreanaz I might reconsider, ha).
