This summer I started watching HBO’s True
Blood with a good friend of mine. We were at her cabin for a week and proceeded
to spend all of our time watching the first three seasons of True Blood. Let me
point out that three seasons adds up to 36 hours of sitting in a dark room
ignoring the beautiful sunshine and sparkling lake just steps away from our
back door. We never would’ve done that if it weren’t for Eric. I mean, sure,
the show on it’s own was addicting, but we could’ve restrained ourselves and
gone into the fresh air if it wasn’t for the sexiness of Eric Northman.

| Let me just execute a brilliant plan which makes you think I'm betraying you even though I'm really saving your life because I love you. |
Eric Northman is ruining my life. Ok, maybe
“ruining” is a bit of an exaggeration, but let’s pretend it’s not so my life
seems more dramatic.

| OH, COME ONE! Not fair. |
How are women (fine, just me) supposed to
casually go about their every day lives when movies, television and books keep
presenting us with the ideal men? Not that there is anything wrong with
non-fictional men. It’s just that they have flaws. Fictional men never have
real flaws. When the creator’s of such perfect, ideological male specimens
realize they forgot to include some flaw to make said character realistic they
always choose “he cares too much” or “he’s protective” or “he’s a bad boy
except when the female lead is around when he’s the sweetest guy a girl could
ever hope for with an air of mystery”. It’s just not fair to my poor, fragile
female heart.

| Sigh... |
And then I’m just supposed to go living my
life after I find out (SPOILER ALERT) that Sookie DOESN’T CHOOSE ERIC. What is
life? She had Eric, and she decided to be alone instead. I would never have
been so stupid. There is no circumstance in which Eric Northman loves me and I
don’t end up with him. None whatsoever. Also being in love with Bill is not an
excuse. Bill is lame (no offence to fans of Bill, but come on, let’s be real,
Eric wins every time).
A serious question: when given the choice
between a sexy, mysterious, devoted, sexy, powerful, smart, sexy (did I already say that?), bad ass,
albeit fictional, man or real people, what do I do?
What’s that you say? Stop being antisocial
and see real people? Kill joys.

| Don't worry, Eric. They might not understand our love, but I'll never give up on you either. |
Awesome, I love it! And thanks a lot, now I feel I need to watch True Blood. Does your other imaginary boyfriend from Criminal Minds know you are cheating on him??
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, at this point, I can't even keep track of all the imaginary boyfriends I have... But Eric is currently #1! Geez, my life is difficult...
DeleteI love your post! I was seriously thinking about starting a fan page called "Eric Northman isn't real and he will never love you". Yeah, it's a support group for Eric-aholics. Would you like to be the first member? =0) He just gets better, doesn't he? Yum!
ReplyDeleteIf you like Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman, check out some of his other work. Have you seen Generation Kill? His body in that show kills. He's a really ugly transvestite in Kill Your Darlings, but he shows his acting chops. Have you seen/do you plan to see What Maisie Knew when it comes out on DVD? Like we need to see that beautiful man being kind and gentle and loving and gorgeous and good with kids! I would love to meet him in real life, just to see if he is as nice as everyone says.
