First Post

Hello everyone! This is very exciting! This is my first post on a blog! When I created this blog, I had the idea of posting whatever caught my attention at the moment. Currently, I am absolutely obsessed with the HBO series, True Blood. I absolutely love the cast and the plot. What better way to start off my blog with a little introduction to this show?


True Blood - Season 1
True blood is a HBO series directed by Alan Ball about Vampires finally being able to reveal themselves and live amongst the humans. The Japanese have ingeniously figured out a formula to create synthetic blood called Tru Blood in place of human blood. Even though there is now a substitute, as usual, the real thing is obviously better. This series is based in a small southern town, Bon Temps, Louisiana. The main character, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), is a telepathic and quite naive young woman working as a waitress at Merlotte's. Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) is Sookie's owner as well as one of her friends and the owner of Merlotte's. Sookie's childhood best friend, Tara-Mae Thorton (Rutina Wesley) starts working in Merlotte's as the bartender in the first episode after quitting her job when she lost her cool on a customer. Tara's cousin, Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis) is the flamboyant, gay cook working in Merlotte's. His colorful choice of words and make-up make him one of the most interesting characters (in my opinion) in the series. Another character to notice is Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), the sexy, air-headed brother of Sookie and the person of which Tara holds special affections for. Although Jason has brains the size of a peanut, he has the sex drive of horny teenager who accidentally took Viagra and was locked in a room of pretty girls. Anyways, Bon Temps gets its first vampire when tall, dark, and handsome Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) steps into Merlotte's asking for a bottle of True Blood. Sookie automatically warms up to Bill as she starts chatting with him. Always burdened with the power of being telepathic, Sookie is able to enjoy some peace and be herself around vampire Bill. Even with the warnings of her best friend and boss, Sookie takes an interest in Bill Compton and makes it her goal to make a friend of him. Her relationship with Bill really kicks off when she finds that the Rattrays, the worst human beings Sookie has ever met, kidnaps Bill and tries to steal his blood. After she rids of the Rattrays and saves Bill, he starts warming up to her, thus starting a beautiful relationship and an exciting first season of True Blood!

I hope you guys enjoyed that summary!
