On top of everything, in reaction to this True Blood world, I’m becoming some kind of puritan. If it’s not for fear of diseases, or pregnancy, there’s just a general creepiness/perv factor that nobody warned me about in sex education class.
Yes, I get why we need more shows, movies, books about vampires. Our imploding consumer culture can only be headed in that direction…though, I wouldn’t mind not aging.
