Hello dear readers.  We now take a break from my fanfiction writing to give you an update on the real world. You may remember that a month ago I was convinced I was dying of cancer.  That has been debunked, much to my utter relief.  So jump ahead a month and I’ve tested positive for the H1N1 virus.  Yep, barring a false positive, I have the swine flu.

How did this happen, you may wonder?  I went to a birthday party on Sunday night for my friend’s daughter.  Said daughter was not feeling well at all but she’s asthmatic and that’s what everybody assumed was wrong.  I came home that night and woke up feeling nauseous.  Woke up Monday morning feeling like I had a bad cold.  My friend called me on Tuesday to tell me her daughter had tested positive for the H1N1 strain of flu, AKA the precursor to being told you have the swine flu.  I then informed her that I wasn’t feeling my best and decided I’d better get in.  I went in today and the doc tested me, it’s supposed to take 10 minutes for the results but mine came up in 4.  He put me on tamiflu for the next 5 days and seems to think that’ll take care of matters.  I feel crappy but not knocking on death’s door crappy, I”m happy to report.

I really just wanted to let ya’ll know what was up with me cause I think my writing is going to go by the wayside for a couple of days.  I’ll still post Chapter 6 in the next day or two, but anything new might wait until I’m a little more coherent and functional.  I’m working just a low grade fever of about 100 right now and just sore and nasally and all that stuff.  I’ll be back with ya’ll soon, I promise!

Hey Lady asked me to contribute to a new blog site where we review Supernatural books.  Many of these are books we’ve discussed here so far; I’m beginning with the House of Night Series and looking at one book at a time, so it’s more in depth than when I combined things in my Delving Into The Darkness Blogs.  My first post is up so I thought I’d direct you there and also tell you to check out Lady’s reviews.

I know I’ve been quiet this summer, well other than my lengthy Twilight Fanfiction blog that I update almost daily.  It’s been a wonderful escape from real life for me.  I was going through a medical scare for a month or so but everything appears to be fine now.  I wanted to thank all my readers and especially contributors for providing me with an outlet to lose myself from my “worst case scenario” tendencies.  I tend to get overly dramatic when I think something is wrong with me and this time around I went to a bad place.  Thankfully you guys were all there to communicate with…just having others who enjoyed the same things I did and kept comments coming on simple pleasures like hot men and vampires meant a lot.

So, I just wanted to thank you guys for being there, you lifted my spirits more than you could know.  Special thanks to Tripp, who got me started here and has become a true friend that I can talk about anything with.  Rameau, who always makes me look deeper into things and brings more of an appreciation of books and TV and movies and all my favorite forms of entertainment into my life.  AGO, who seems to have the exact same taste as me, kinda like having an internet soul sister!  Lady, who gave me the push to explore my inner vampire fangirl and has great appreciation for some of my favorite things.  Doublebitch for just being sarcastic and hilarious and awesome.  All my Days readers who I have neglected terribly in recent months, I promise I’ll get my shit together soon.  All my one time posters, anybody new makes my day.  And also to those who read but don’t comment.

I’ve taken a lot of joy with recent blog hits.  A lot of people are linking to the Twilight fanfic through me, which brings me happiness.  I hope some of them will come back and post reactions and other recommendations, as my interest in the subject does not seem to be abating.  I also have to throw out a grin to all the people who are finding me by searching for Kirk Cameron and Corey Haim.  Seriously, one day I got 15 hits for Kirk Cameron.  I don’t know who you people are, but I think it’s pretty awesome that 15 people were searching for Kirk Cameron in the same day.  I am weird, I know.  Hopefully my Old School Crushes brought on some fun memories for them.

I lack a lot of inspiration for writing this summer, other than a possible fanfic idea that I don’t know if I have the balls to explore, but I promise I will try to update more often.  Really, I got wordier than I intended to (what else is new?) but I wanted to say thanks to all my readers, new and old.  You guys rock!

Truly Conflicted

Embracing the hotness!

Embracing the hotness!

So I have been able to watch True Blood thanks to the awesomeness that is the beloved internet and I’ve seen all 3 episodes that have aired.  And I’m not sure how I feel about it this time out.  I’m happy about some things (Eric’s hair!!!!) but not happy about others (Jason’s being in this church thing is severely limiting his naked time.  Limiting Jason’s naked time is never a wise move).  So I thought I’d do a post discussing what I’m liking and what I’m not.

I’ll be honest, I got pissed at the last episode.  I mean really pissed.  Bill wouldn’t let Eric give Sookie blood after the attack.  This is COMPLETELY opposite of what happens in the books and I’m going to be pissed if Eric and Sookie do not form their blood bond.  I know, there are many opportunities ahead for him to give her blood but that just irritated the hell out of me.  Thankfully the hotness that is Eric and his increased air time kept me from being overwrought by my rage, but still, wasn’t happy.

My other fave, I hope he's back to normal soon.

As you know, I am quite thrilled that Lafayette is still alive.  I am a bit worried with his reaction when he got home yesterday, it was understandable but I hope that his light is not extinguished.  He was definitely my favorite character next year and I need to see him being flirty and over the top or I will be sad.

More...always more shirtless Jason.  Or naked Jason.  Sexy Jason, not church Jason!

Jason in the church…I get it, I really do.  It was a way to tie a main character into the church to bring it into the season, but really, I said it before, we need nakedness.  I do appreciate the gratuitous shirtless scenes of course but Jason without sex just doesn’t feel like Jason.  I was momentarily frightened that they were going to have him hook up with Molly Burnett of Days of Our Lives fame but other than a few sexy looks, that didn’t come to pass.  I do get the vibe that maybe he and Mrs. Preacher are going to get it on eventually, but we’ll see.  I’d rather have my favorite manwhore back though.

She's growing on me...but she's still annoying much of the time.

Jessica has completely grown on me to the point that I get mad when she’s brought down by Bill and Sookie.  I was cheering her Hoyt hook up and mad that Bill broke that up before she could get some action.  I’m glad she didn’t kill Hoyt though, I admit I was worried about that somewhat.  The whining of the character can be a bit annoying but I prefer her to a lot of the characters right now.

Who doesn't want to start their day with some fresh Eggs? HEHE

Speaking of characters I DO NOT prefer, what the hell is this Mary Ann stuff?  I’m not remotely interested in her power of chaos or whatever it is.  I don’t care about her at all.  I don’t like how Sam’s pretty much a sideline in the story and I hope they get her gone soon.  Doesn’t help that she brings out the worst in Tara, who I loved at one time.  Bonus points for bringing the hot Eggs into our world though.

I still find Bill bland and boring.  He’s like a dad raining on everyone’s parade when it comes to both Sookie and Jessica.  I truly hope the next season happens as it does in the books, I could use a Bill break already.

Yes, I wanted to include another picture of him.  Problem with that?

Finally, we must talk about the perfection that is Eric.  I was not a fan of that hair and was surprised to find the actor so much hotter than the character.  It seems the producers listened to something and they let Eric get a hair cut.  Sooooo much better.  So lovely!  So sexy.  And they’re doing a GREAT job of showing some Eric’s darker side and some of his fun side as well.  I want more of the fun in his interaction with Sookie, hopefully that will come soon.  Oh, and I want him dressing a little better, but that’s my sole Eric complaint now.  Bring out the hotness even more peeps.

So that’s about it for where I am when it comes to True Blood.  I don’t overly care for the storylines right now but maybe things will ramp up in Dallas and I’ll get more into it.
