The Vampire Diaries

I didn't think i'd hate a t.v. show more than I hated One Tree Hill, but unfortunately even that travesty was surpassed in the first few minutes of The Vampire Diaries. The acting is agonizing. The dialog makes me wheezy. Most of all though - what is the deal with author's vampire plots lately? I find it more likely for Vampires to actually exist than to have an immortal spend eternity going to high school. Are these authors suggesting that vampires died and are sentenced to high school Hell? I suppose that is more believable than a couple hundred year old person willingly spending the majority of their day interacting with snobby teenagers. Which brings up another interesting point. An 18 year old girl is legal for an adult to hook up with. A three hundred year old man and an 18 year old girl falling in love is super creepy though. If I knew there was a couple hundred year old man at my school hooking up with a bunch of girls, I would freak! Keep away from my sisters! Think about it. If a guy that old is so desperate for ass that he willingly sits through years of mind numbing high school drama for a chick... He is the biggest creeper on the planet.
