Kiss the Girl

       


      What song do you think would be going through a nineteen-year-old kid who is kissing a girl for the first time?  Definitely not Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid right.  For some dumb reason, that's what song popped into my head and it will live in infamy.  First kisses are never like they are in the movies or on tv it's always so overdramatized and comes off as fake.  

        "Life goes on" Episode 36.  So, Carmilla made the ultimate sacrifice for her love she saved everyone despite herself and despite her "Mother" telling her she should just do what's easy and take the easy way out.  Laura showed Carmilla she could be brave and stand up to her mother.  She rescued Laura and showed her she had changed.  The thing is Laura also rescued Carmilla in that she showed her she could be someone who is better be someone who cares be someone who loves.  Carmilla was able to show that to Laura by saving her.  

        Laura now saddened by the loss of her roommate still trying to figure out what had happened is interrupted by Perry followed by Danny who rushes in with Carmilla's body.  She slowly begins to wake up.  Laura almost tackling Carmilla she then stands up giving Carmilla a little space and says hey and Carmilla says hey (OK I'm stepping in.  They totally stole our thing).  Laura then begins to ramble, so excited that her roommate is ok.  Carmilla cares nothing about what Laura is saying.  Ignoring Laura and going straight in for the kiss.  Laura a little surprised embraces, but quickly goes back to rambling and Carmilla kisses her again.  Laura again breaks the kiss this time takes a breath and kisses Carmilla back.  This is actually a realistic first kiss congratulations it comes off as genuine and realistic.     

        There are a few times in the series where L and I switch characters me being Laura and L being Carmilla.  This was definitely one of those moments.  L had been kissed at that point, not a new thing for her I however had not been kissed or kissed anyone up to that point.  Actually, to show how dense and inexperienced I was. A girl broke up with me in high school because I was too scared to kiss her.  So now you see where we're at.  I was inexperienced L was experienced.  So a couple of days post us sleeping together in the same bed (Support, Dance, Sleep on the Floor.) L and I were watching a show on tv laying on a rug on my dorm room floor.  All that day I spent working up the courage to kiss L.  For starters, I was terrified, after I kiss her.  What happens next?  What do I do if she rejects me?  Every doomsday scenario you can think of. 



        I had gotten over all the self-doubt and I'm ready.  I go for it.  I leaned in and all I can hear in my head is "Kiss the girl" and my heart beating out of my chest.  I miss and I missed badly.  I hit the bottom of her nose and the top of her lip.  I quickly tried again this time actually connecting.  After this something unexpected happened.  She kisses me back and quickly starts to make out with me.  I am someone who hates surprises.  There have been two times where my eyes about popped out of my head this time and when the doctor told me I was going to have a son.  So I was definitely Laura in the first kiss. Nowhere near as exciting or dramatic as Laura and Carmilla's first kiss, but I will never forget it probably because I missed and the makeout session that followed.  

        So L and I are doing way better we have again connected and I have shared the show with her I started it slow fearing she would think I'm weird and just crazy as the show picked up she got into it more and more we have just recently finished season one and are about to start season two.  I would love to talk to her about the first season and what she thought. Never in my life did I think a love story like this would inspire me.  I congratulate the writers and cast for making a universally amazing love story.

Its a Trap! Kind of.

                                                    Though episodes 11 to 16 are very important, essentially showing Carmilla trying to save Laura from her mother first by just telling her mother to find someone else's besides Laura.  Then Carmilla tries to scare away her mother with the charm bracelet to protect Laura from other vampires all while Laura finds evidence linking Carmilla to all the disappearances devising a plan to catch Carmilla.  These episodes move the plot along but don't really relate to me and L until the trap.           It's a trap,  Episode 17.   It's a Trap was an instant flashback to a moment between L and me.  So when Carmilla walks in and doesn't want to go to the party and would rather have one on one time that's totally me....

Countess Mircalla "Carmilla" von Karnstein

            Countess Mircalla "Carmilla" von Karnstein is our other main protagonist.  Carmilla was born in 1680 in Steria, Austria to a Count.  She was murdered at a ball at the age of 18.  Resurrected as a vampire by  Lilita Morgan (The Dean of Silas University).  She lived a tortured life as a pawn for Lilita luring young girls to their doom.  She eventually met a young girl Elle who she developed a relationship.  Hiding her nature from Elle, Lilita reveals to Elle that Carmilla is a vampire.  Elle rejects Carmilla running to Lilita sending Elle to her doom.  She eventually would end up at Silas University continuing to work until she met a very headstrong, nieve, shrill of a girl named Laura.  So how does a 36-year-old father of three completely relate to a 300-year-old female vampire?  You're about to hear about our differences and our similarities.        Our differen...

Laura Eileen Hollis

            Laura Eileen Hollis (played by  Elise Bauman ) is one of our two protagonists.  Laura is young, sheltered, naive, and headstrong.  When we were first introduced to Laura I instantly identified with her. ( Carmilla and Laura Parallels )  Things quickly change with the introduction of Carmilla.  This entry isn't about me or Carmilla.  It's really about Laura and L.  What makes them similar and what makes them different.  Laura does have a few similarities lets just say Laura and I love the sweets.  I will bring them up some of them at the appropriate moment.      Let's start with the differences.  Though they have a ton in common there are a few differences. Now it is no secret that Laura is naive and I could say the same thing about L.  The two both grew up in small towns and were out on their own for the first time.  How they were naive is where the differences lie....
