I have decided that Elena belongs with Damon.

I am really enjoying The Vampire Diaries so far.

Damon is the best. Also, I think I love Vicki.

Indeed.

"

You bleed for white people. But when it comes time to seeing your own churches being bombed and little black girls be murdered, you haven’t got no blood. You bleed when the white man says bleed; you bite when the white man says bite; and you bark when the white man says bark. I hate to say this about us, but it’s true. How are you going to be nonviolent in Mississippi, as violent as you were in Korea? How can you justify being nonviolent in Mississippi and Alabama, when your churches are being bombed, and your little girls are being murdered, and at the same time you’re going to violent with Hitler, and Tojo, and somebody else that you don’t even know?


If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it’s wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it’s wrong for America to draft us and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.

Now STEFAN is saying their talking is “epic”!

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Elena just described her and Stefan’s chatting as “epic.”

What?

Onward to Episode 2!

Is every episode going to start off with teenagers getting vamp-bitten?

What the fuck kind of high school kids have parties like this?

I swear, every high school show and movie takes place in this weird alternate universe where everyone is freakishly beautiful, they can all handle their alcohol, and everyone says only the things that every 30-year-old wishes they had been cool and articulate enough to say in high school.

Matt also looks exactly as described in the books.

I wonder if he’ll be as much of a pathetic Nice Guy as he was in the books. Or if he’ll be worse.

I will never, ever, understand what it is that makes 200-year-old vampires want to repeat high school over and over throughout history.

In other news, I’m starting to watch The Vampire Diaries, since everyone else seems to be doing it.

I read the books in the mid-90s, what with being, you know, 13 or whatever, so I’m at least mildly interested in the show, although I can already tell (10 minutes into the pilot) that there are significant changes from the books.

First impressions:

  • Bonnie looks nothing like described in the book, but this girl playing her is gorgeous and I think she has (so far, anyway) captured the spirit of the character.
  • Elena also doesn’t look anything like described in the books, and I get a bit of a Bella Swan vibe from her character.
  • Caroline actually does seem much like the character in the books.
  • The guy playing Stefan looks A) old enough to run for president and B) like some weird mash-up of all the dude vampires from Twilight.
  • Graveyard scene? Creepy and LOL.
