How depressing...I have like 1,000 shots of flowers (I love you spring!!!

) but I have like 0 time to edit them

I have to write 1/3 of my bachlor thesis tomorrow and 1/2 of next week, and on saturday I'm taking a TOEFL test, in order to get into a master's programme. I'm not that worried though...I got 101 out of 120 at the mock exam, so it should be fine

Is anybody actually reading this?

My watchers must have bailed on me cause I've been away for so long T_T
Anyway

I have a new obsession: Vampire Diaries

A friend of mine told me about this new series, and when I met her during our Easter vacation we watched some episodes

AWESOMENESS.

Let me give you a short summary:
The story is based on a book series, but it's kind of different from it, and in their version vampires:

get burned in the sun, but the 2 main characters have some rings that protect them.

bite/sometimes kill humans (unless they choose to feed on animals, but then they're weaker),

can hear better, move faster, etc,

can control your mind like make you forget things,

can't sense each other...they don't know who else is a vampire just by being close to them

can't get into your house unless you invite them in


transform humans by giving them some of their blood and killing them after that.
Their weakness is a plant called vervain

It looks like lavander if you ask me

and if you have some of it on you then the mind thing doesn't work

They aren't pale or have different eye colours, except if they feel hungry/angry/passionate and they can't control it, then the white part of their eyes gets red, their face sort of cracks a little, and their fangs grow. The actors said they look really creepy and that other people stay away from them when they have their makeup on

The plot goes like this: there are 2 brothers Stefan and Damon. Damon hates Stefan because about 150 years ago he got...hmm..their girlfriend killed (she was playing with both of them at the same time

) and now, when Stefan returns to his home town, he falls in love with this human girl Elena. Damon of course starts feeding on people there and tries to get Stefan in trouble

If you watch the series you'll see that Damon actually loves his little brother, as tough and heartless as he seems. His problem is that he doesn't trust anyone easily...and Stefan really let him down.
What else can I say...The actors are brilliant, Damon is gorgeous and has the most awesome lines ever

The girl who plays Elena is really cute and likeable (I don't like that many lead-female characters in shows) and Stefan sometimes reminds me of Edward from Twilight, but he's far from perfect.
Needless to say that my favorite character is Damon.

I really want to read the books, but I can't right now

Eh...meanwhile I'll watch a weekly episode of this, Supernatural and Criminal Minds
