Don't Use Words I Don't Understand
Ahhh. Crap. I hate you fandom. Torchwood broke my little fangirl heart and I swore off fandom for awhile, but True Blood. I should have known my love of vampires was going to suck me right back in. Possibly, I should re-think that last sentence. Anyways, thoughts are under a cut for spoiler purposes.
Dear True Blood,
Why must parts of you be so good and parts of you be so bad? I am becoming invested in this fandom. It is not good.
I am really sick of Mary Ann and all the sex. Really. I do not care. Please to be letting Lafayette and Sam kill her. Because that would be a fitting end. Poor Sam. He's one of my favorite book characters because he's just such a nice guy. I'm glad they kept that part of his character.
Now, for my deep secret which surprises no one: I am a Sookie/Eric fan. Yes, I know, me and 50 billion other girls. I however, am pretty much resigned to the fact that it's never going to work out. I do think True Blood is too invested in Sookie/Bill as their main couple for it work. Buffy never got to be with anyone else until Angel got his own show. I don't think Bill is going anywhere. So all I have to ask is that we please do not screw up Eric too badly. In the first few books (although sadly not anymore) Eric and Sookie were friends. Eric flirted shamelessly, but they kinda got along. It was a lot of fun. I would be happy to accept that as the extent of their relationship.
However, fandom-TRUE BLOOD FANFIC. I'm sure the slash girls will get all over Eric and Godrick but there is so much else out there to write. Please?
Anyway, I liked how they brought Jason into the story to save his sister. It might be the only part of any of Jason's storylines I've ever cared about. I was really surprised at how the Fellowship of the Sun storyline ended so calmly (or so it seemed). Anyway, I hope everybody cool makes it. Stan can go die with his awful stupid cowboy hat.
I guess my one last Eric/Sookie hope to come out of this is-shrapnel sucking scene? Please. Because it really doesn't look like Sookie will be doing the whole bullet sucking thing. I do think Alan Ball is throwing us a total con by showing Sookie in bed with a blond haired person. It's not what we think it is. Plus, I'm already squicked by Alexander Skarsgaard's fangirls. They're rabid.
IN RL news I'm having to switch dates for going home to WI. Well, at least i hope to be. There's a lot going on in September for Chris and I and I don't know if I can take time off, plus work is being pushy about how I knew I didn't qualify for paid time off. Yes, I knew. I just assumed I'd take unpaid time off. Apparently, that's not allowed.
Work is stressful because we're so far behind and there's so much to do. Good news is that I stay busy. I like being busy.
The dog and I have been on better terms this week. We're working on a strict schedule of walks and feeding, and I realize that unless I want to deal with a sick dog I no longer get to sleep in on weekends. Ugh. Life is not fair.
I spent time in Borders this week reading the latest book by Michelle Sagara. Very interesting. I really enjoyed it despite missing 60 page gap of which 30 showed up randomly in the book later. No really. The book went from 270 to 300 something and then later 270 to 300 showed up but the rest of the missing pages did not. So I was really confused for awhile. Tiamaris and Nightshade are going to be having some interesting conversations.
Bah it has suddenly turned hot and muggy. I am turning on the AC. In good news-Chris is coming home for the night. I don't know why, but he's on his way. YAY.
And: RACHEL ALEXANDRIA WON THE HASKELL AGAINST SIX BOYS INCLUDING SUMMER BIRD. GO RACHEL!!!
