Uncle Jean finally gave me my crack back -- Season One of The Vampire Diaries landed on my desk over the weekend. And the peasants (by which I mean me, of course) rejoiced. Of course, I didn't look past Disc 1 and then Aunt Amy told me "Oh, by the way, Emily had the last disc in her computer, so we'll make sure you get that back at some point."

THE LAST DISC BUT THAT HAS FOUNDER'S DAY WHICH I HAVEN'T WATCHED IN OVER A YEAR WHY THAT LITTLE -- "Okay, no worries, Aunt Amy."

And then I remembered that yesterday was Tuesday and not only Tuesday but Tuesday the 30th, so after work I proceeded to Bull Moose and bought Season Two of my crack The Vampire Diaries, so yeah, that happened.

I was watching the third episode last night ("Friday Night Bites"), and it's the one where Elena still doesn't know that Stefan and Damon are vampires, and Elena is trying to convince Stefan to try out for the football team. These lines of dialogue are exchanged:

Elena: They don't know you. To them you're just mysterious loner guy. Wouldn't hurt to be a part of the team, make some friends.
Stefan: Says the girl who spends her alone time writing in a cemetery.
Elena: Hey, come on, there's more to me than just gloomy graveyard girl. There's a whole another Elena you have yet to meet. She was into everything, very busy.

And those lines struck me just a little bit, because earlier this summer I walked across the street to Evergreen Cemetary with a journal and wrote a thousand words long-hand. In the cemetary. And my name is a variant of Elena.

... So, where's my tall, dark, handsome, evil pixie-monster?

Anyway. Before I run to the dentist, I'm going to leave you with a couple of conversations. Enjoy.


Nicole: I'm tired.
Me: Me too. I got like, no sleep this weekend.
Nicole: What happened?
Me: My friend was assistant-directing this show up in Harrison. So I drove from Portland to Harrison to see the show, and look, I've lived in Maine all my life, and that is the booniest town I've ever been in. So then, after the show, I drove us down to his apartment in Boston to spend the night. Now, Marc has like, a dozen pets, and they all live in the living room. Right next to the couch that I slept on. So in the morning, we woke up and I drove him and his boyfriend -- [I notice the bug-eyes of both Nicole and Ken] What? I'm allowed to have gay friends, Ken.
Ken: I know, I just -- that's not where I thought the story was going to go.
Me: Huh?
Nicole: I mean, when you said "slept on his couch," I was like, "Alaina! Why the couch!"
Ken: I was rooting for you!
Me: Sorry to disappoint everyone, but the only men I know are gay.
[Ken leaves]
Me: Actually, that's not true. The only single, straight man I know and am friends with is Brad.
Nicole: I don't want you to date Brad.
Me: Uh, WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT I'M TRYING TO EAT LUNCH HERE NICOLE
Nicole: My husband has some single friends. But they're all perverts and losers. [She laughs] The only straight, single men I know are perverts and losers!
Me: Me too!

[The next day]
Brad: (To Nicole) You look tired.
Nicole: Well, you look old.
