Ok, I admit it – lame as I initially thought Vampire Diaries to be, I have managed to get myself totally into that shiz. And much as I blame the hot vampire Damon (aka Ian Somerhalder) for that, it has quite a cool plot too. Also, I have True Blood 1 and 2 ready and waiting for when I finish Vampire Diaries. I draw the line at Twilight, but still. It’s bad.
That said, if you haven’t seen Vampire Diaries or seen what Ian Somerhalder looks like, take a look at this…
rocking the whole facial hair vibe
In the show, Damon is this uber hot badass vampire who is the brother of this geeky Dawson’s Creek type vampire. The geeky one is kinda arb and annoying, you end up wishing someone would accidentally on purpose splash some holy water on him, or steal his ‘sunlight protector’ ring (yes, new age vampires have such things, who knew!) or just stake him in the heart or something, but Damon is pretty cool.
awesomeness
It’s like Gossip Girl with more blood and fangs, basically. And a super hot bad boy vampire. What’s not to like? 
I think every girl lusts after Damon *sigh* The show was quite hyped up when it started here so I was excited, the first couple episodes were a bit slow and not too impressive, but then it got better and better with each episode, can’t wait for the next season.
I also found it kinda arb at first, but got into it – even if it was mostly just to watch Damon. I have now started True Blood… QUITE friggin insanely addicted… *sigh*
