4 very long days.
ONLY four days left!!!! I'm excited to go see New Moon with my friends and family. The guys probably not so much since they have to listen to us girls squeal, and cry, and gasp, and possibly moan whenever a guy shows on screen. But HEY! Can't feel too sorry for them cause they get to stare at Kristen Stewart the whole time. I'm looking forward to this movie being released more than I was Twilight. I think the new director is what did me in for New Moon (and Taylor's super buff bod). I pray there are no awkward-crooked scenes where you have to tilt your head or you feel like you're going to fall sideways. I'm going to have to find my Team Alice shirt and possibly get a Team Jacob shirt... but how I'm going to wear both is a mystery. (:

Fanged Friday
Here's some vampire myths and beliefs about becoming a vampire...
1)They need blood to survive because it is the elixir of life, without blood they will die. The blood gives them energy, power and replenishes their body. It is the key to immortality
2)They only come out at night because they fear sunlight.
3)They grow stronger, tempering with time.
4)In folklore, it is not mentioned that vampires have fangs.
5)They have an angular face and a waxy complexion--looking pale and drained.
6)They have the ability to shapeshift in other words change into an animal like bats, rats, cats, raven and wolves.
7)They have the power to control animals(the animals that they can change into).
8)They live in their graves during the day and rise during the night.
9)They have no reflections, so when they look in the mirror they don't see anything
10)Vampires die if they have been staked through the heart by wood, burned or by decapitation and removing the brain.
11)Religious symbols do not harm folklore vampires.
12)When vampires drink the blood of a person that person will turn into a vampire.
13)When a person dies violently, committed suicide or was wrongly accused and killed, he or she may become a vampire.

Vampire Diaries Review for Thursday Nov. 5th 2009
Season 1: Episode 8 "162 Candles"
It's Stefan's 162nd birthday on Vampire Diaries Episode 8, and an old friend comes to visit. This old friend happens to be a vampire older than the Salvatores, Lexi. Elena breaks up with Stefan for the thousandth time at the beginning of the episode because it's all "too much."
[This seems to be becoming a pattern.]
Any way, Lexi seems like a fun chick, since she's older than Damon, she can overpower him, and she pins him to the bed in a choke-hold and warns him not to ruin her time with Stefan. This seriously amuse me because Damon is all "oh i'm so cool"
Sheriff Forbes calls in Elena, Stefan, Matt and Jeremy to question them about Vicki's disappearance and is satisfied with the story that she ran away. Damon continues to play the neighborhood's friendly vampire and personally delivers some vervane to the sheriff and tells her he'll do anything to help.
The necklace Bonnie got from Caroline has special powers to protect her, and belonged to her witch ancestors. Bonnie agrees to wear and then decides to tell Elena. She goes to Elena's, rips open a pillow, pouring the feathers out all over the bed. With her hands, she moves them up into the air and floats them around the room.
Damon bewitches Caroline once again and commands her to throw a party. He's convinced he and Stefan have to start "mingling" to appear normal. Lexi is pumped about the idea of a bash and persuades Stefan to go. "That guy that got naked in the Trevi fountain, that got drunk on the Statue of Liberty, that guy can take a break from all his worrying for one night and go to a party," she says.
[Apparently Stefan was a party animal at one point. haha]
As he's in the shower getting ready, Elena comes to the door, which is answered by Lexi, wrapped in a towel. Elena splits. Lexi is confused, and confronts Stefan to find out why exactly his new gf looks exactly like Catherine. He admits that he's in love with Elena. He then stops by Elena's house on the way to the party and they have a brief chat where he explains that Lexi's merely a friend, but she still chooses to stay home that night.
At the party, Damon tries to get Caroline to get the necklace back. Bonnie recognizes a strange compulsion in Caroline and perhaps realizes it's not normal. When Caroline tries to grab the necklace from her neck, it shocks her. When she goes back to Damon empty-handed, he calls her "stupid, shallow and useless." Caroline proceeds to get smashed, while Damon goes outside and feeds on a young couple to take out his aggression.
Lexi goes to the bar to order a couple shots of tequila, or three when she sees Elena walk in. (When the bartender asks for ID, she just mesmerizes him with her eyes, and he gives her the shots on the house instead. Ahh, the perks of being a vampire.) She takes the shots over to Elena and explains that alcohol helps "curb the cravings." Lexi tells Elena that she'll get to know Stefan eventually, and the first step was him coming clean about being a vampire. She explains that her lover was a human also. Aww... inter-species love.
Apparently Damon left part of the couple, the girl, alive, and Sheriff Forbes is soon on the case demanding to know what she saw. Drunk Caroline wanders over to Matt's table where she asks him, sadly, if she's shallow. "I want to be deep, like abyss deep," she wisely says. Sounding like the genius she is, she then admits that she's "shallow, like a kiddie pool." As Matt's carrying her out to take her home, they run into her mom, the sheriff. She allows Matt to take her home, and then walks in with the victim and asks her to point out who was responsible for her attack. Damon's over at the bar with Lexi, and the girl points in their general direction. Assuming she must mean the girl (because how could it be that nice guy, Damon, who gave her the vervane? Or perhaps Damon just brainwashed the girl to point out Lexi), they weaken her with vervane and take her outside. However, Lexi soon regains her strength and knocks them aside. The sheriff is alone with her, and starts feeding bullits into her chest, to no avail. Just as Lexi's fangs emerge, Damon appears out of nowhere and stakes her in the heart. Ahh, so this was his plan. Plant the vampire card on someone else, and make himself look like the hero. However, Stefan and Elena are hiding in the shadows and see the whole thing.
Stefan is so angry he chases after Damon and a fight ensues. He grabs a stake and rams it into his stomach. "You missed," Damon grunts. "You saved my life, so I'll spare yours," says Stefan. Sibling Rivalry. yay.
The episode ends with a sleeping Bonnie having a weird dream. She's running through the woods, as if being chased by something. Suddenly she falls to the ground, and is approached by a dark figure. When she looks up, we see it's her ancestor, Emily "It's coming," she says ominously. And then Bonnie wakes up...in the middle of the graveyard.

Vampire Diaries Review for Thursday Oct. 29th 2009
Season 1: Episode 7 "Haunted"
As Vicki starts to act more and more dangerous, Stefan tries to help her. Elena tries to convince Jeremy to stay away from Vicki. Caroline gives Bonnie a necklace she took from Damon, and when Damon tries to take it back, he is surprised by Bonnie’s abilities. Bonnie discusses the incident with Grams and learns more about her family’s past. Matt tries to cheer Vicki up by taking her to the high school’s haunted house, Vicki takes Jeremy somewhere more private almost bites him, when Elena and Stefan interrupt. Vicki attacks Elena and Stefan kills Vicki. Jeremy is super upset by what happened and Elena asks Stefan to make him forget. Damon volunteers to do it, which obviously makes you think he is up to something, but it's a sweet gesture.
So I'm seriously loving Damon, I think it's a bad thing since he's slightly evil. (:

Frustrated.
So, school has been pretty hectic and such. With having to do 20 chapters of vocabulary in Economics just to stay caught up and writing a research paper, it's hard to constantly give a post. I'm going to have Amber write a post on the newest Vampire Diaries and set up another Sexy Saturday. Until this is finished, here are some laughs.

Yes, it's a video involving New Moon. But it is pretty funny. He's not making fun of it. It is just a funny funny. Don't get mad. (:
