What Not To Say on a First Date, by Sookie Stackhouse

Thanks Sassy!!- I'll post more later ...

So for the past 2+ years I've been updating this little "list" on CharlaineHarris.com after each Sookie Stackhouse book. Since its "mine" (with some suggestions from other posters on moments from the books to include, don't get me wrong - Baltimore Babe always helps out with the suggestions since she's like a Sookie encylopedia but all the content of the post is mine - the source material, of course, is the property of Charlaine Harris) I don't feel any qualms about posting it on my own blog. For my friends and family who haven't read the entire Sookie Stackhouse series of books (there are a total of 9 now - the last one being DEAD AND GONE that came out in May) this will be over your head. This has nothing to due with "True Blood" for those of you who only watch the show. For those of you who have read the books, this particular update was a tough one since DEAD AND GONE had some pretty awful things happen to Sookie and her friends. I tried to be sensitive to those events while still keeping the zany "Sookie gone cray-cray" point of view. Enjoy! (Or not..)

"What NOT to tell someone on your first date (and completely out of your dang mind!)", by Sookie Stackhouse.

1) I'm telepathic and I can also read some supes minds…and maybe some vamps now but they can‘t know or they might kill me. Shhhh! Can you keep a secret??.

2) My brother is part Were-Panther. Bitten, not born of course. His best Panther buddy, Mel, turned out to be in love with him and did some awful things. But its all ok now. He’s dead. Who? No, not my brother. Mel! Jason is fine. I think?

3) I've had vamp blood from multiple sources.

4) I slept with Bill and Eric (both vampires, whee!) and a Were Tiger named Quinn...no pressure on you for comparison or anything...

5) I'm part Fairy. :::bats eyelashes::: No really! I suggested this nice restaurant because this is where Eric brought me to meet my Great Grandfather for the first time. He's a Fairy PRINCE! Well, maybe KING now?? Apparently he's very high up there and quite powerful and protective. For a while there I could like, snap my fingers...and poof, there's Pappy! Everyone seemed a little scared of him and even my own cousins were scared of him and call him "My Lord". But now he’s back in the hidden lands and can’t come out because there was this huge secret war. They even killed my brother’s wife, Crystal. I mean she was a total hooker and I really really disliked her but no one deserved to be hurt like that just for being related to us. I even killed one of the fairy dudes who tried to kill me…with a trowel! I think its all over now, but they still can’t find my great uncle, Dermot. Did I mention he looks JUST LIKE MY BROTHER and wants to kill me? No, Dermot…not my brother. Sheesh, you’re so sensitive…Don’t worry, I have my water gun in my purse and I never leave home without my trowel… I’m fine now though. But if a seriously gorgeous person starts to sneak up behind me, tell me ok? :::pats her purse:::
