I've become like those infatuated teenage girls and their vampire lovers selling their souls and crossing over to the other side... or transitioning.
I am now obsessed with Vampire Culture.  Books, movies, TV shows, the whole gamut.
I know, I know; I'm about four years too late and 15 years too old.  And I'll admit, when this whole vampire craze started, I refused to participate in the trend.  I had read the original vampire story --DRACULA-- and was not going to enter into this frivolous modern-day vampire romance nonsense.  (Also, I'm not a 13 year old girl.)
So how did this new obsession come to be?
Well, to make a long story short, I was deeply grieving after my LOST marathon on Netlix ended, so I had to find a new "thing."  (Again, I was late with the whole Lost thing, but that's another story.  Needless to say, a year after the show officially ended, I finally finished the series and was suffering from withdrawal.  So onto Vampires!)
I have already watched the first three Twilight movies, but hadn't actually read the books, so I requested the audio versions of them from my library, and now my commute completely flies by because I am entranced in this ridiculous story!  Also ridiculous is the CW show, The Vampire Diaries...but I do admit I'm kinda hooked on it.   And as you can see from the previous post, I just got two Vampire Diary books from the library.  What is going on?  
When that True Blood show started on HBO, I was actually watching it in real time.  That was the only vampire thing I was following.  But then HBO was cancelled and I've missed everything after season 1.  Then!  A year ago, JT told me about the books!  Finally, I got the first book of the series and will somehow start to read that along with The Vampire Diaries and all those other books I got from the library.  
Maybe I'm overdoing it a little bit?
