The 'Voice' of My Blog sounds like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail- okay in my dreams

 Dear Readers,
I've been reading tips on how to improve my writing/blogging style, and apparently you have to a 'voice' which sets the tone of your blog. Now, while I sat there thinking of what I wished the tone of my blog to sound like, I remembered one of my favourite movies:You've Got Mail, and how every time I watch it I relate to Meg Ryan's character and love the way she writes her emails, and generally expresses her thoughts. That, dear readers is what I'm aiming for-in my mind, at least. When I get comments, I get nearly as excited as when MR gets mail-seriously!

 

I've got a comment- I mean email

The other problem I have is of consistency, I can do one post in one voice,say Rebecca  Brandon nee Bloomwood  all girly and lighthearted, straight out of a chick-lit, (again that is it what it sounds like in my mind); and then my next post will I will sound all moody and broody like a vampire of your choosing.

 If I went to a meeting looking like this, would people mistake me for Elle Woods?

Damon: Stefan, you should start blogging, keeping a diary is so 1864
Stefan:I dunno, The Vampire Blogs just doesn't sound the same

I tend to have a number of not necessarily logically related things to say, but I find them interesting and I hope others do to. I wish my blog would end up being an interactive conversation with its readers so that it sounded like the dialogue of  Before Sunrise/Before Sunset movies with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

I also tend to blog very late at night, which means I'm not really myself- helps the whole internet alter-ego image, I guess. A friend of mine and reader, says it shows, so I'm going to start editing posts in the clear light of day. 

I also need a volunteer editor, I can't seem to spot my own mistakes, and the spelling and grammar checker is not working on blogger- very embarrassing to find my blog is covered in typos and worse. I have to first type in Word and then copy paste into blogger, which I find annoying as I like to insert photos and links as I type. It helps the flow of my thoughts. Please share errors, so I can fix them, I won't be offended, positive criticism is how we learn.

What do you think of my blog's voice tone?

The Vampire Diaries Seasons 1 and 2 review - Incoherent Ramblings of a Fan

It is said that you should write about what you know, and what you are passionate about. Well, I'm definitely passionate about The Vampire Diaries, it is as close to an obsession as it can get. I have spent my summer break reading TV Fanatic's The Vampire Diaries caption contest entries and watching my favourite vampire diaries video montages on Youtube. I wasn't like this as a teen, what's wrong with me?
 I guess this is a part of my quarter life crisis?

Now let's get back to the review. When the trailers for TVD started showing although the key characters seemed unbelievably good-looking, I thought it was going to be like Twilight  (I'm not a fan), with the plot being as old as time itself: two brothers Damon Salvatore (Ian Sommerhalder) and Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) fall in love with the same woman Katherine Petrova (Nina Dobrev) , a typical teen drama with vampires.
But wait, there is a twist-145 years later, they fall in love with the same woman or rather her doppelganger Elena. (I thought- meh, in my opinion most teen dramas these days require you to be a teen or at least have raging hormones or a similar love-life issues for you to really get in to them.)

So, one day I just turned on the TV as the show was starting. The episode was the one about Miss Mystic Falls (Se1 Ep 19) and the 'no-touch' dance between Elena and Damon completely entranced me, and by the end of the episode I wanted more!

I watched the next episodes the season finale left me breathless and I couldn't believe I had to wait the whole summer until the show returned. I'm ashamed to admit but it turned into an addiction, a guilty pleasure, my favourite vice- whatever you want to call it!

I caught up on earlier episodes, and in hindsight season 1 was a lot like Twilight, and the pace is slower, but it picks up towards mid-season, after that and pretty much all through Season 2 the pace is break-neck, and you never know who is going to be killed off..and then brought back to life-or something like it!

Those of you who grew up in the nineties- it's like Buffy but better (more eye-candy, shocking plot twists!)

Here are my favourite TVD music video montages:
Shattered (by Backstreet Boys) 


Enchanted (Owl City)
