HIATUS GIVE-AWAY

Have you already decided what to do during the hiatus??? We've got to wait for a long month until The Vampire Diaries is back on January 27th...

To start the year right, I'm gonna give away a TVD 2011 day planner.


So, you've got homework to do during the hiatus... you're all going to read (or re-read) The Stefan Diaries: Origins during the hiatus and then you're gonna answer a questionnaire to enter the contest. I'm going to post the questionnaire soon. Now, your only task is reading the book. If you haven't got it, or can't afford to buy it, you can download the pdf version. In about a week or so, you'll have the questionnaire, which you'll have to answer and email to nataliahatt@gmail.com. The people who answer everything right will be entering the contest. If only one answers everything right, she'll be the winner!

The second of the series: Bloodlust will be released on January 4th (my birthday!!!) so there might be a contest about it in the future.

Nov 30th:

2:54 PM - Mr. Saltzman is a pretty cool guy. Said his favorite ice cream is chunky monkey - I had no idea, lol

10:02 PM - Working at the grill tonight. At least I get free food.

Dec 1st:

4:59 PM - Where's Stefan? I haven't seen him in school in like, forever. I hope he and Elena have worked out their problems - I want her to be happy.

10:04 PM - It's getting expensive to take care of the house and bills. I need a roommate. Maybe I'll ask Tyler, lol - nah...

Dec 2nd:

2:56 PM - Drove by the hardware store this morning and saw Tyler walking out with chains and stuff. Wonder what's going on with him....

7:21 PM - Just got to the grill. What's with all the new faces around here? Must be tourists or something.

Dec 3rd:

8:09 PM - I went to see Caroline last night. Told her I missed her. Then Tyler showed up - I guess she's moved on...I'm so stupid.

Dec 4th:

01:18 AM - Got the night off, but I wish I was working. Would help to take my mind off of Caroline and Tyler. Don't know if i should be angry or sad.

01: 30 AM - A part of me can't blame her - I can only blame myself for letting her go. What have I done? *sigh*

02:32 AM - I gotta fight for her. Like they say on that football show - clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Yeah I think that fits.

03:22 AM - Going to sleep. Time to put these troubles to rest.

4:01 PM - At the grill, it was really cold this morning. Thank God she started up or else I'd be in trouble.

6:29 PM - @julieplec Wait a sec haven't I seen you at the grill before? You're from LA, right? Yeah I don't have much time but it keeps me sane...

9:42 PM - Was leaving work and my truck refused to start. Luckily Jenna was around to give me a jump. Just another problem to worry about now.

Dec 5th

1:27 PM - At the grill this morning. There playing Taylor Swift over the speakers. I kinda like it - "you are the best thing that's ever been mine.."

Dec 6th

3:23 PM - School, grill, home. Life's pretty predictable these days. Which something exciting would happen.

4:24 PM - OMG I meant wish not which! Jeez, I need some sleep, lol....

6:59 PM - Finally met the new kid Luka. Seems like a nice guy, but Jeremy didn't seem too happy to talk about him. I wonder what's up.

Dec 7th

2:08 PM - Got up this morning for school and the house was freezing. Checked and the heater was busted. Damn.

2:24 PM - School, work, home. Life is so predictable these days. Wish there were vampires or something running around to spice things up, lol...

4:30 PM - Just walked out of History class and I couldn't see the board - I think I may need glasses :o/

6:30 PM - I sometimes regret kicking my mom out of the house. I guess a drunk mom that loves you is better than being alone in a cold house.

What do you think about it? I think he can give us some spoilers, lol!

Maybe he'll learn about vampires soon... and maybe we'll see him wearing glasses too!

Ian's Birthday Wish

It's Ian's birthday today! All I can wish to him is a wonderful day and a very happy life!

I want him to be happy so I'll help him with his cause.

As you already know, Ian is very committed to the environment. He even created a foundation to help create awareness and change the world. He's raising funds to support projects that protect our habitat and nurture our furry friends.

If you feel like giving Ian a gift, he's asking for people to donate to the Ian Somerhalder foundation.

In this kind of campaigns, people are usually asked to donate according to the age of the person. Ian is turning 32 so you can donate that amount. If you can't donate that much, he'll be happy with what you can give, even if it's only a dollar. And if you want to give more, you're welcome to do so as well.

It's a good cause so I've already helped myself and I'm doing all I can to spread the word.

You can donate to the IS Foundation here!

This is the foundation's website: http://www.isfoundation.com/

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to send your messages to Ian!

Juicy spoilers for the next episodes

Stefan and Katherine get it on!

Stelena fans: you're so NOT gonna like this! Ian Somerhalder talked to E! about the "cave sex" we caught a glimpse of in the promo video. It'll be awesome to watch a naked Stefan but I don't think Elena will be happy if she finds out.

According to Ian it won't just be wet kisses and stuff like that... it will be real sex.

I know Elena and Stefan broke up and blah blah blah... but if he is with Katherine and Elena finds out, I doubt she'll trust him again...

About this, Nina said to Entertainment weekly:

“The one person I want to be stuck with, here he is, and now he’s got nowhere to go. I will seduce him, I will tease him, I will anger him.’ The line between love and hate truly is very, very thin,” Dobrev says. “So she has a chance to egg him on, and he can’t do anything about it. He has no choice but to listen, and yeah, it is a very kind of sexy, manipulative scene, and he gives in. It’s pretty crazy.”

Read the whole interview here.

Will this give way to Delena? Fans who want Damon and Elena to be together might see their dreams eventually come true!

Let's face it! Even when he wanted to deny it, Stefan never forgot Katherine. If he had, why would he keep a picture of Kat? and why would he fall in love with a girl who looked like her of all people? Stefan has got serious issues!

If you haven't watched the promo video, watch it here!

Episode 2x12 title confirmed

The first episode in January will be called "The Descent". Actor Jason Ferguson will be playing a character named Eddy whom we don't know much about yet.

John comes back to Mystic Falls

Elena's birth father (played by David Anders) will come back to her rescue in episode 2x13.

Apparently he knows how to kill Elijah so he'll be very helpful.

If he comes back, it'll be time for him to answer some questions... did he know Elena was the doppleganger all along? how does he know about the originals?

And I've got a thought... just a though... what if Elijah isn't planning to hand Elena to Klaus??? what if he really wants to despell the moonstone so Klaus can't break the curse? Maybe he's got other plans for Elena or he wouldn't have let her go last episode... what do you think?

True Blood's Dawn Olivieri to Guest Star

We remember her from Heroes and True Blood. Now, she'll be guest starring in The Vampire Diaries! She'll be a new newscaster in Mystic Falls named Andie Star. She'll be a recurring character for an undetermined number of episodes and we can say she'll be spicing things up!

An episode full of sacrifice

In this episode of the Vampire Diaries almost everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of those they love. How sweet of them!

Elena's Sacrifice

Even though Stefan and Damon have a plan for despelling the moonstone, Elena is aware Klaus will go after all the people she loves so she decides to surrender. That shows us how unlike Katherine she is. But don't think she's so different, this girls surely knows how to manipulate people!.

Damon's Sacrifice

When Damon learns about Elena's plan, he leaves Stefan and Bonnie alone and rushes to rescue her. Doen't he look like Superman going after Lois Lane when she's in trouble? Damon couldn't have been faster!

He's willing to risk his life for Elena and he even uses threats to talk some sense into her. Luckily for Damon, Elijah is not planning to get Elena killed any time soon.

Jeremy's Sacrifice

Jeremy loves his little witch and doesn't want her to gut hurt. So he steals some ashes from her and goes to the tomb to fetch the moonstone... Unluckily, he couldn't beat Katherine and she had a new toy she could feed on all she wanted as he would come to life every time she killed him!

Stefan's Sacrifice

Stefan won't stand Katherine feeding on his beloved Elena's little brother so he comes to his rescue. Too bad he can't get out from the tomb now!

Bonnie's Sacrifice

Bonnie knows she isn't strong enough for the spell needed to get Stefan in and out of the tomb but she tries it anyway. If she hadn't been taking power from Luka, I'm pretty sure she'd be with grams right now!

It seems that next week we are gonna see a half naked Stefan! Do you think his feelings for Katherine are back? Is she compelling him??? Any ideas?

STEPHEN AMELL JOINS THE CAST OF THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Mason Lockwood may be gone, but he seems to have plenty of friends concerned for his well-being and willing to come looking for him. According to E! Online, Stephen Amell (Heartland, CSI: Miama, NCIS: Los Angeles) is joining the cast for a couple of episodes as Mason’s friend Brady, who comes to Mystic Falls for reasons connected to his missing pal. What connection he has to Mason’s other friend, Jules, and whether he’s a werewolf or not remains to be seen.

Nina talks about "Katerina"

Most Vampire Diaries fans know by now that Nina Dobrev has Bulgarian roots. So it should probably come as little surprise to anyone that Nina gave a helping hand in the Bulgarian translations in Katerina, as she reveals in an interview with theToronto Sun:

“I called my mom, and she and I translated it,” Dobrev said of the Bulgarian dialogue in the episode titled Katerina.

“I think the writers had used an internet translator and it was so funny. All those online translators are never right. So we did it. I translated my own dialogue, but I called my mom just to confirm I was right.´

Read more on that, along with dealing with playing Elena and several versions of Katherine on the Toronto Sun website.

s2e11: By the Light of the moon - official synopsys

The CW has released the synopsis for the December 9th episode of the Vampire Diaries, By The Light Of The Moon. The episode was written by Mike Daniels and directed by Elizabeth Allen (Ramona and Beezus, Life Unexpected, Gossip Girl).

TYLER FACES HIS FIRST TRANSFORMATION — As the full moon approaches, Caroline helps Tyler prepare for the transformation he is powerless to stop. While Stefan and Katherine play mind games on one another, Damon and Alaric are suspicious when a stranger named Jules shows up in Mystic Falls, searching for her missing friend, Mason. Elena is frustrated at the lengths Jeremy and her friends have gone to in order to keep her safe. Bonnie and Luca work together on a spell, while still keeping secrets from one another. Finally, Elijah makes an unexpected appearance with an offer that could change everything.

Are you as excited as I am about this episode???

Remember this will be the last episode this year and the last before the long hiatus!
