Vampire Love


Since I was little I have always loved vampires.  I would have been one if I could.  I still would.  Over the past couple years vampires have become popular.  It's strange for me to have something I've loved for years become the new big thing.  People mocked me for loving vampires now there all obsessed with Twilight and True Blood.

I have read Twilight and seen True Blood and I like both.  I will say I like the books True Blood are based off of, the Sookie Stackhouse novels better.  The second season has taken such a step away from the books that there two different things.  I understand that they need to have something for the secondary characters to do but I felt like half the show was soft core porn.

Any one who has read the books or seen the show knows there are two main vampires, Bill Compton and Eric Northman.  I don't want to give a lot a way but I'll say this.  In the beginning of the series I loved Bill.  He was my favorite and Eric was a jerk.  The tables slowly turned in Eric's favor and now I love Eric and don't care much for Bill.  So far the show True Blood has featured one book per season and Bill has been the main guy.  But in book three he disappears for most of the book and there's bad feelings between him and Sookie.  As Bill begins to fall to the back lines Eric takes center stage.  I'm very excited to see more of Alexander Skarsgard who plays the viking vampire Eric.  Who knows what will happen this time and how true to the book they'll stay.  In the book there are some good Eric stuff i just hope that gets into the show.

I love Eric Northman.  If he wants to visit he just has to knock on my window.
