So a few months back, I wrote the following status update on Facebook. Bear with me; I posted the entire interaction: (left out real names to protect the, er, innocent)
Claire Smith RE: TrueBlood; I don’t get the attraction to Eric.
Claire Smith
I apologize. Perhaps he’s simply not my type… or I haven’t seen enough episodes yet?
Claire Smith
Yes, I get the Biking thing but I imagined him… bulkier.
John: I had a feeling they were related. 🙂

*Viking.
Claire Smith
Annie, I can’t tell if that’s because you’ve seen it and are mocking me or… well, just mocking me in general. 🙂
Claire Smith
You know, in the context, “biking” is rather amusing. Typos *are* pretty funny. But still, I’ll take Bill over Eric, thank you.
This may help explain his popularity:

Ha ha, thanks for the, er, evidence.
Oh, THAT guy. One of my best girlfriends is madly, badly in love with him. In fact, she sometimes admins @ two different pages for said “Biking.” I mean, she’s almost religious about him. I borrowed her copy of “Generation Kill” (not sure if you’ve seen it) which stars said Biker and she’s going bananas without it. Me? I am SUPER “Meh…” about said dude. I’d need to see this “Bill” person to judge him.
Claire Smith
Even yours, Rory? 😉

But you see, I was naive then, before I’d finished watching season one and before I’d ever set eyes on season 2. For now, NOW, I get it. It’s like how I never used to understand the attraction to vampire novels and movies before, I suddenly do understand it. And a Viking vampire, well, that’s just overload. I mean, really! Feast your eyes; go ahead. Look.
I may be 30 freaking years old but by god, I can still have crushes right? He’s tall and built and all kinds of the perfect vampire, now that that all makes sense to me. Maybe I just had to grow up to get it. When I was 16 and I read Anne Rice, it was all “meh” to me.
So yeah, I have one episode left of season 2 but I am putting off watching it because I know then it’ll all be over and I’ll want it to be June for season 3 and we don’t have HBO so what am I gonna do then?? Huh??? I may employ Facebook once again and see whose house I can invade to watch it. 🙂
