the lauren diaries: recap time

i must start out by saying, i am LOVING "the vampire diaries".
it is different than the books, but it is so so so entertaining.
great cast. great music. lots of hottness. good times.
now, onto the recap... 
 
 
 
 
before the show started, i texted my friend Lula! requesting that if there were any shirtless scenes of Paul Wesley (stefan), to let me know, so i could properly prepare myself for correct breathing during that scene.
 
 
sure enough...the first scene:
018.jpg 
 it was if the tv gods could hear my internal pleas!
let's take a moment to discuss the tattoo on his right shoulder.
um.hi that is hawt. stefan wins!
 
 
 
i am pretty sure elena's expression sums up how all of the women in the world were thinking after the tattoo-shot, because we ALL KNOW she was thinking of the hottness that is stefan, right huuuuur.
020.jpg
 
 
 
 so, after "making eyes" at each other during history class, they ran into the hall to talk about what was burning on their minds...
061.jpg
 books...obvi! what else would they be thinking about while making "bedroom eyes" at each other during class? "wuthering heights" was the only thing they could think about! duhspice!
 
 
so stefan offers her his copy of "wuthering heights"...
063.jpg
 and she goes, "stefan...this is a first edition...and signed by emily bronte, herself. it must be like...200 years old...how do you have..."
 
 
067.jpg
 *musical laughs* "oh elena...you stupid, high school girl. you have no diea what you are talking about. take the book and stop questioning me." (uses mind-influencing-powers)
 
 
068.jpg
 "are you trying to distract me? because if you are, just show me your abs again. oh waaaait...whhhat? no but seriously, did you used to throw back with emily bronte?"
 
065.jpg
*crickets chirp*
"wanna see my abs?"
 
 
 
 
meanwhile, elena's "brother" the druggie, and too-hott-to-be-tyler have a calm debate on who horse-faced girl thinks is the hottest. "brother" thinks he is the hottest, obvi.
088.jpg
 
 
and hott tyler was like, "oh no you di'hint!"
087.jpg
 
 
and all the while, stefan is sitting nearby, listening in...
106.jpg
 
and he was like, "um. srsly? are they kidding? i am the hottest. look at my abs. and my tattoo. the ladies love the tat. this debate needs to be stopped." 
103.jpg
 
 
 
 
and while this is happening, elena and "brother's" aunt is having a parent-teacher conference with their joust-of-a-history teacher...
129.jpg
mr. tanner obviously thinks the backless dress she chose for the meeting, was highly inappropriate. he said, "you piece of skank-trash. that outfit is completely inappropriate for a parent teach conference. however, it is appropriate for me..."
 
123.jpg
"ew. sick. gross."
"ok. how much?"
 
 
121.jpg
"one million dollars"
 
132.jpg
"hm. deal"
 
 
 
 
all the while, stefan is on his trek to the hospital to visit horse-faced Vicki. 
155.jpg
 
and stefan uses his special mind influences to say...
 
153.jpg
"stefan salvatore is the hottest piece to ever walk the planet. stefan salvatore is "the hottness"."
 
154.jpg
and horse-faced vicki said, "stefan salvatore has hot abs. whose tyler?"
 and stefan is satisfied. mission accomplished.
 
 
 
later, elena rudely shows up at stefan's house without calling. who does she think she is? geez! and then just walking right in. without permission.
 245.jpg
 
and to her surprise she runs into Damon...
256.jpg
 
and elena goes... 
254.jpg
"guuuuh...stefan, why is Boone from LOST in your house? he is dead. and oh so pretty...o hai boone!"
 
 
and stefan goes...
 343.jpg
 "his name is damon, and i hate his face. that's it...he has to die. no girl of mine calls any other man "pretty". your going down boone...i mean, damon."
 
 
and then he killed his brother. aint no thing.
 
 
 i don't want to talk about this part in the show, i just want to show something.
496.jpg
paul wesley looks EXACTLY how i imagined book edward to look like. like...it pains me that he goes by the name of stefan. srsly. 
 
 
anyway...moving on...
 
 
 horse-faced vicki took some major pills, and was tripping out in the bathroom. she couldn't figure out why she was scared. it was either because she JUST figured out she looked like a horse or...
508.jpg
 
........
 
 
511.jpg
 yeah. that.
 
 
 
so, everyone is freaking out because they can't find the horsey girl. not quite sure why they were freaking out...seemed like the perfect time to purge the small town of it's horse-faced girl/druggie/skank. but, whatev.
 
 
 
since stefan has hot abs, he goes off and tries to find her.
 579.jpg
 and when he finds her with damon (oh yah...i lied, he didn't kill him), he goes, "put the horse down".
 
580.jpg
 and damon goes, "but little brother...i brought you a tasty snack!"
 
 
and stefan goes...
586.jpg
"are you kidding? you KNOW i stick to a strict diet of larabars and 12 dozen raw eggs gulped down before and after a work out! i MUST.NOT.DEVIATE.FROM.THE.FOOD.PLAN."
 
 
and damon goes...
603.jpg
"you ALWAYS deny my gifts! you WILL eat it now...or i will have a boo-boo in my dead, cold heart!"
 
 
and stefan goes...
618.jpg
"but don't you know i have had diarheaz since easterz!?!!!!?!"
 
 
and damon goes...
629.jpg
"you sicken me."
 
 
 
 and then other crap happens that i don't care about...
 
 
 
let's discuss how much i love that stefan is THE MAN...
 808.jpg
 
and kisses elena like it's no ones bidness...
 806.jpg
yeah...i swooned. i swooned, ya'll.
 
 
but then the swooning stopped abruptly...
817.jpg
damon's face will forever scare the diarheaz outta me.
 
 
 
i miss you boone.

first?!?

heidi lou said...

wow, I'm amazed. All I want to say, is that Stefan is much hotter than movie Edward. and it saddens me also. I haven't seen the show, but he's probably a better actor too.

I should get into this, it looks bueno!

Amber W. said...

This is HILARIOUS!! I want to watch the show just from your little recaps. The scary faces of Boone make me want him the way he was in LOST. He's too cute to be so scary! I may watch anyway, though. Thanks for the recap!! Srsly. ;-)

♥Karm said...

LMAO!! OMG tooo funny. Loved the recap. I'm thinking.. and I think that Vicki does sorta have a horse like face... haha I liked how Stefan & Damon kept messing with her mind on the roof top, I giggled like crazy because she was being thrown around the whole scene. HAHA

Ashley said...

Lauren - you are the bomb dot com!

Seriously, that recap was soooo freakin' hilarious!

Just Your Typical Book Blog said...

I have had the worst day at work, came home on my lunch break, and read this. Needless to say, you are a God send Lauren! Thank you for making me laugh my silly butt off!! And you can never stop making these!

Meghan O said...

It's a good thing my roommate isn't here right now because I am laughing out loud!!

Hilarious: "guuuuh...stefan, why is Boone from LOST in your house? he is dead. and oh so pretty...o hai boone!"

"stefan salvatore is the hottest piece to ever walk the planet. stefan salvatore is "the hottness"." Stefan Salvatore is the hottness for realzzz

Boone/Damon is super creepy looking when he's all going in for the kill. Screenshots of that = super creepnast!

Kay said...

best recap ever.
i loves it.
tanks much!

Jessica said...

awesome.

Mary Beth said...

ok, Lauren , I have to be honest - I'm not loving the show BUT I watch it anyways just so I can compare what happens and what you say and be able to appreciate your HILARIOUS diaries all the more.

Char and Trent said...

i am dying laughing right now! So so funny!

Jessica Marie said...

Hahaha...great way to end that post. I think I'm going to have nightmares.

Emily said...

Yaaa, so I kind love this show. A lot. Paul is extremely hawt, I admit. But he's 27, so that means he's kind of out of my age range (too old). I love how in their house Stefan totally ignored Elena, who btw is waaay too pretty for her own good (obvi). My friend also pointed out that, in the house scene, Stefan and Damon are wearing matching blue v-necks and jeans. Just a tad strange,
And did see the preview for next week's week show????? It looks a little like Steffie + Ellie are going all the way. And Ellie is wearing a super ugly bra.

Annika said...

The fact that you quoted Nacho Libra makes my life!

Torie Jayne said...

Brilliant! Have a sweet weekend! x

Curtis and Dani Welton said...

I love your stories! I haven't been watching the show.. but mayabe I should start. It would probably make your stories even more funny!!

:)

Lula! said...

I FREAKING LOVE YOU AND WANT TO MARRY YOU RIGHT NOW.

Happy anniversary to Lauren and Lula! (Ted? Ted who? I jest.)

Brilliant. I cracked up. Please do this every single week because it is amazing.

p.s. THE TATTOO! Best part of the show. You know when I texted, "Shirtless. First scene." you were all, "HALLELUJAH!" Sierra was too, huh?

Wow, I'm screaming a lot in this comment. Sorry.

p.p.s. I don't care who gets mad at us for saying the obvious--Paul Wesley IS Edward. Or rather, how we pictured Edward in our heads when we read the books and had no idea who Robert Pattinson was, outside of Cedric Diggory.

Yep. I said it. I'm sticking to this assessment, too.

LIndsay said...

I might just watch the show so I can fully appreciate your commentary.

Liz B. said...

haha, Lauren you are hilarious. Best recap ever!!!
Although, I think Stefan's narcissism is a bit unhealthy...lol

Robsten Lovers said...

I'm enjoying the show...but I think your version of it might be better.

Kelli-Sue said...

-KS

Kelli-Sue said...

HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY!! I know yall will have MANY MANY more

-KS

Jenn with Two N's said...

fun story - a friend of mine from high school is a "some special term that means step above show up and be an extra" extra on the show. she was painting a child's face last night in a blue shirt. you wouldn't have noticed it, because it was LIKETHAT fast, but she was on.

she says the guy who plays damon is really nice. they talked. and the blonde guy is an ATL native, which ironically is where a lot of the show was shot...

Jen said...

So glad you continued with the recaps! I am loving this show too, even if it is skankier than the books(that ending with Caroline/Damon, and next week's preview?!)
Your recaps are hilarious!!!
While I think Stefan is soooooooo freaking hot, I have to disagree on the Edward thing. Rob is and always will be my Edward. Paul is an amazing Stefan and I love them both.
C'mon Edward has to be pale, and he can't have a tatoo!

PS I love ya!and Damon's face will be haunting my nightmares. eek!

Valley Girl said...

Seriously you have got to be the funniest girl EVER! Oh how i laughed.

ps. congrats to you and the Tedward! I love all the oldschool pics of you guys...SWEET.

Valley Girl said...

Oh and are you watching them online? i remember you sayin you don't have tv.
We don't either...i wanna watch em. sooooo, i was wonderin what site are you using?

Whitney said...

Finally you have come to your senses!! ha ha. Movie edward is UUUUGLLLYY!! Stefan should replace him, stat. Or Zach. either one works for me. ha ha.

Tiffany said...

LMAO OMG I am dying here. I love the part about horseface realizing she looks like a horse...OR AHHHH.

I really like the show and I love your comments. keep it up girl!

Shannon said...

Thank you Lauren for recognizing the Epic hotness and potential Edwardness that is Stefan...he's exactly how I pictured Edward to be in reading the books. I love me some Rob but where was this guy 2 years ago?

*Happy Anniversary!

whitney said...

Ok, I am hooked on this show. I accidentally watched it last week, and now I will continue watching. My roommates make fun of me, but they are losers. (not really..but whatev) I haven't read the books, but I might have to after this. Paul Wesley is made of all kinds of hotness.

Happy Anniversary!!

KatOfDiamonds said...

Yep, it is official. I love your recaps more than the show!

But I will continue to watch the show for the hottie factor =[ (that is my sexy vampire emoticon haha

Allison said...

That is too funny... and Damon's face is too scary. Wow. He is a major creep. And Stefan is the epitome of hottness.

Connie said...

Hahah! This is hilar. I love it, Lauren!

Lauren said...

What... sorry. I couldn't get passed the tatooed Stefan picture. I'm in a daze. So hot, want to touch the... oh you know how it goes!

B*Marie said...

Uhm ya- pretty sure I am going to get way into this, and Target now has the books for $8.99, as if I have the time, but I am pretty sure I am going to buy. Tonight. Stefan is GORGEOUS and Damon, ya, I miss Boone too- but that last scene... woo! Can't say I wouldn't have minded being that girl about to be bitten... ha ha. And yes, his hair is weird! But why is it that the hot swooney Vampires must always fit "my type?" Life is so not fair.

Stacey said...

That was some funny stuff! I love the pictures..very delish. Except for horse face.

I have the first two episodes recorded but I haven't watched them yet. I need to watch them after my kids are asleep so I can absorb it all.

M.Bee said...

Lauren you're the best, I'm so glad I found your blog!

S said...

I love your recaps and Stefan:) Did anyone else laugh when he walked into the blood donor clinic?

Britney Jean said...

pretty much these things make me laugh.

so i'm glad i read this now.

cuz i feel like crap and that just made me feel a teensy bit better.

that and the fact that the hubby is on his way home.

:)

thanks for the hilarious posts lar lar!

Angie said...

Shoooot, I don't even want to watch the real thing. Your version has got to be way better. So stinkin funny.

Melissa said...

"but don't you know i have had diarheaz since easterz!?!!!!?!"


hahahaahhaah. nacho libre? (: you are awesome. fer realz. love you & your foolishness. oh, & the blog. psh ;)

Nancy Face said...

The show is okay, but your recaps are FANTABULOUS! Sooo funny! :D

lilnelablack said...

If it wasn't for Stefan's hottness I would quit watching the show and just read your recaps... they are way better : )

Lindsay said...

I totally watched it on youtube after you texted me last night! I am OBSESSED with Stephan! I absoulutely love him to pieces and I think Damon is not attractive at all??? Is it just me?!

Sasha Liz said...

LOL you crack me up!!

Jayci said...

LAUREN I haven't laughed THIS hard at one of your posts since Hairy Tennis Man. I love this. AND. I have been avoiding your recap because I hadn't watched the new episode until this afternoon...

I LOVE THE CAST/SET/SCENES/PLOT/AND ACTING. It's fantastic. And I'm sad that he's not Edward too.. and I'm sad she's not Bella. boooo...

PS - Mark loved the diarheaz.. :P

Wuthering Heights?? Hmm...I'm pretty sure that book is referenced a lot in Twilight ("Eclipse"). Am I right?

The vampire's eyes are pretty scary when they go crazy. But I love your play by play. Pretty funny.

The Gomes Family said...

Yes, it doesn't follow the storyline, however it is really entertaining and the eye candy is delicious!

RatalieNose said...

Um the Nacho Libre reference MADE MY DAY!

Higgs Happenin's said...

I thought I needed to watch this show, and now I think I only need to read your blog. Thanks.

Physcokity said...

be.recap.evah. I don't care if it stuck to "the script" It made me laugh and I still got the gist of the story without having to sit through 40 ish minutes of show plus commercials.

Physcokity said...

Oh Yes, and I am in total agreement on the Stefan is how I pictured movie Edward. Muy ineresante.

Ashton Dene' said...

so you do realize that stefan was on the OC right? Further making it the best show of all time! I don't watch the Vampire Diaries & I haven't read the books, but honestly if you keep up these recaps I think I will be very disappointed if I ever did start watching/reading!

love it!

Evan said...

Ok, 3 comments about the Vampire Diaries:

1) NOBODY has hospital-hair like Vicki's! That gorgeous mane is a LIE!

2) Where were Matt and Vicki's parents? Did they not care that their daughter was attacked and their son was sleeping at the hospital? Perhaps it is the lack of 'rents that make Vicki turn to drugs....

3) Is it really necessary for Elana to show that much cleavage...ALL the time?!?!?! I get it! Your boobs are bigger than mine! Is that what the CW must do to get guys to watch? Lame. So so lame.

Alisha said...

Ok, I realize this comment is a bit late but I barely watched the 2nd episode online. The first episode was a tad cheesy but I decided to let it slide. The second episode wasn't much better. I really want to like the show but there are just little things that really bug me. Like the fact that the CW always has to make everything about sex. Really is that what people want? Also, it looks like Damon is always wearing strange amounts of make-up. I miss Boone too. And I know that I haven't read the books but I feel like I need to in order to keep up with the story line. Who is this Katherine person and why does she look exactly like Elena? "we both know how that ended up" I don't!

Sorry to unload on you here. Maybe you have some suggestions on how I can keep up?

I love your review, just the right amount of sarcasm for me.

Heather said...

One word. Edward. WAIT...no...let me make that six words. Stefan should be Edward in Twilight.

...and cue the hate mail.

Your synopsis was brilliant. And, yeah, that girl totally looks like a horse.

amy said...

I miss Boone, too!

I never really thought about it but you are right, this guy would totally make a better Edward.

Robert Pattinson who?

aubrey said...

holy moses, lauren. that post was intense. and i'm too scared of that vampire face to watch it. so i'll just read your synopses. and ya. that guy paul is hot.
