Undead Thursday

Thursday nights are home to my favorite show, the Vampire Diaries.  A couple years ago I joined most of America’s teenage girl population and became obsessed with the Twilight series, the books and the movies.  The Vampire Diaries came out about a year after my vampire obsession started and I didn’t watch it right away but over Christmas break freshman year, there was a marathon of all the episodes and I got hooked.  The reason I like vampires in this show and the Twilight vampires are because they are so much more human than I ever expected vampires to be.  In the Vampire Diaries, the vampires can eat, drink, sleep and can even walk in the sun (with a little help from the witches, of course).  A dagger to the heart still kills them but it has to be straight through the heart because they can be stabbed anywhere else and not die.  Also, the two main vampires on the show, brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore, are insanely gorgeous which makes the show even better.  Stefan is dating the main character Elena, who happens to be a doppelganger for Katherine, the vampire who made Stefan and Damon vampires and claimed to love them both but then disappeared.  But, I don’t want to get that involved in the whole storyline because it would take me about five pages to adequately explain everything that is happening on the show right now.  Also, vampires aren’t the only supernatural beings on this show because witches and werewolves also wander the town of Mystic Falls.  In fact, Elena’s best friend Bonnie just happens to be a witch, who only wants to use her powers for good.  And the bad boy in town, Tyler, has recently transformed into a werewolf but he just ran away from home so the werewolf storyline is gone for now.  There is so much I want to say about how amazing this show is but I don't want to confuse anyone by just giving parts of the whole storyline.  Seriously, though everyone should watch this show!  I’m not into sci-fi at all and am not a supernatural nerd but I still think this show is beyond addicting, I avoid missing it every Thursday at all costs.

I also like watching the Office on Thursdays but that’s a repeat this week so I can’t be bothered with it this week.  And of course, Jersey Shore is usually on Thursdays but the season ended last week so that depresses me a bit.
