Confession: I have a vamp-crush

I have grown up in the second millennium, so yes, I am aware of the vampire craze. I have not read Twilight, mostly because I grew up with Harry Potter and it would be a capital sin to convert to a vampire series.
Actually it is quite funny to listen to a group of Harry Potter fans discuss the Twilight series.
It goes something like this:
"Do I read Twilight? Fuck no."
"Really? I thought since you liked Harry Potter, you might like Twilight too,"
"Are you fucking crazy? I have taste. I don't read something about sparkling vampires, that's gay. Plus, do you know what J.K Rowling has done for literacy in the world? Are you even aware of how prolific her writing is? No you don't because you have mentioned Twilight in my presence."
"So I guess you haven't seen the movies."
"Sure I did, but only to make fun of them."

So, as a die hard Harry Potter fan, I have not crossed the line to the teen craze of vampires. That is, until I started watching True Blood. In a nutshell, True Blood is a tv series on HBO that is about Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress from a podunk town in the south, that starts dating a vampire and all this crazy shit happens. Before every episode there is a caption that reads: graphic violence, graphic sex, graphic nudity, and graphic language. This encapsulates why I watch the series.
But there is one other thing that makes me watch True Blood, and that is Eric Northman.
Say hi to Eric Northman.

So this is why I am really lame. I have a celebrity crush on a vampire.
The last time I had a celebrity crush I was in 5th grade, and it was for Orlando Bloom. At that age I would dream that Orlando was looking at me, then he would put his arm around me. My heart would beat like crazy just by his hand on my shoulder. Then he would lean forward, eyes closed and lips puckered comically, and just before he was about to kiss me, I would wake up. For the rest of the day I would walk around in a daze.
Now, since I'm a bit older and the show features at least one pornographic scene of sex a week, my dream of Eric Northman was little different.
This is even more embarrassing, but I had a sex dream with a vampire. So, in the dream, I was having sex with him, but when I looked down he didn't have a penis. It was just skin, like a ken barbie doll. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

One thing that makes me feel a little bit better, is that most of my friends harbor a similar crush on Eric Northman. So, I guess no one is too good for a vamp-crush. At least I hope so.
