Press Play Friday: Imagine Dragons

It’s Time I really can’t remember much about my first meeting with Imagine Dragons, but I know we didn’t have the same relationship as we do now. We didn’t take to one another right away, which made me a little hesitant – as I usually am – to later reintroduce myself to these top-of-the-charts artists….

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “O Come, All Ye Faithful”

Klaus Mikelson & A Series of Unfortunate Events After watching last night’s mid-season finale of The Vampire Diaries, it’s clear our favorite show has lost the spark it once had, though it may be hard to admit. In fact, even I’m still living in denial. However, there is hope. You know there is. And it…

Countdown: Kim the FanGirl’s Top Ten Favorite Christmas Movies

“Be Sure to Drink Your Ovaltine” It’s December, and do you know what that means? Besides good cheer, sugar cookies, peace and joy, and snow? Yes! That’s right. It’s time to break out the holiday film collection. I love movies (You, undoubtedly, know this already) and I love Christmas (Duh). Combine the two, and you…

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “We’ll Always Have Bourbon Street”

Letting Go Forgotten Memories ♫ Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation For years he had waited, longing for her, the one person that he could not have. He watched as she loved, as she lost, as she took her last breath. He was the person who could reach her when no one else could, who…

Press Play Friday: Holiday Edition – The New Classics

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year Here we are again, celebrating with family and friends; the houses decorated with elaborate rows of bright lights; the snow falling outside our windows. It’s a time for giving. It’s a time for caring. It’s a time for MUSIC. Yes, what would the holidays be without the incessant…

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “My Brother’s Keeper”

Feelings All right. Okay. Calm down. Let it all seep in for a minute. Breathe. I understand what you’re going through. Coherent thought has also left me in a lurch this morning. I just keep seeing aggressive tongue wrestling and shirt ripping. Also, I keep thinking I heard someone say something about a weird, new…

Florence + The Machine “Lover to Lover”

Fire & Water I’ve been losing sleep. I’ve been keeping myself awake. I’ve been wandering the streets for days and days, and days. Going from row to row, bed to bed, lover to lover, and black to red. But I believe. I believe . . . there’s no salvation for me now; no space among…

A Very ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas

The Ice-Men Cometh ‘Twas one month before Christmas, when all through the house, not a sound could be heard, except the click of a mouse. She shook as she heard The Doctor on screen. “The trailer is here!” She shrieked and she screamed. Away to the computer, she flew like a flash. “I must tell…

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes”

Make Believe Hello, everyone! I told you not to worry about me. I’m fine. My run-in with Stefan and Damon last week couldn’t have gone better. They’re harmless, I assure you. It was a good thing I had some vervain with me, though. They couldn’t compel me into giving back their diaries. Those poor fellas;…

Trailer Talk: Warm Bodies

Written In Reverse At Kim the Fangirl, we love our fictional characters (Hunters, Hybrids, Vampire soulmates, etc); the sparkling, the romance, the uncomplicated lines of cheesy dialogue. However, if you didn’t already know, we also share a fondness for those impossibly slow-moving, ever so hungry creatures of the living dead. There’s been a lot of…

Random Rambling: Black Friday, Breaking Dawn, and The Host

Three Rants for the Price of One Black Friday Black Friday will be here next week. I’m guessing you already knew this, of course. But for you unfortunate fangirls overseas, this is the time of year – the day after our Thanksgiving – when Americans get up at ungodly hours of the morning, and freeze…

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “The Killer”

Dear Diary . . . I Effed Up Psst! Hey. Over here. Hi. I hope you enjoyed last week’s Story Time with Kim. As you can see, I’m not there to talk with you about the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries. I’ve been, um, detained, as it were. There’s a lot to talk about too:…
