Vampire diaries series vs twilight series..PART 2

Ok, I wanted to wait until I read the 5th and final book (which Im on) of Vampire diaries but between LOVING the show vampire diaries with an obsession I need an intervention for and the excitement of my twilight/new moon double feature at the new lounge movie theater ( that I also need an intervention for) I decided to write about the two again now....

As I said in my original blog there is a wide battle over which is better, if one was "bitten" ( no pun intended..haha) off the other, and so on...so here are a list of things that I have found similiar throughout the series...

PS- I AM NOT GIVING AWAY HUGE STORYLINES BUT SEVERAL PLOTS IN BOTH series....SO IF YOU HAVENT READ THEM YET I ADVISE YOU NOT TO READ THIS...

TOP 10 SIMILARITIES....( although there are more)
1) Love triangle in twilight/love triangle in vampire diaries
2) Vampire boy drawn to human girl in both books
3) Vampires can go out during the day
4) Both have shapeshifter/werewolves
5) Both have elder vampires
6)Both have a crazy vampire who seeks revenge on the human girl
7)Both have the main character not drink human blood
8) In both the girls "change"
9) Both books have the main boy leave the main girl because they "think" its best and then the girl is devastated but falls into the arms of the other boy...
10)Both have girl bff who is jealous and annoying....both have boy bff that is interested but has no shot...

Having written my 1st post I was just starting the vd series...

So here is my overall stance on this debate....

1) Twilight is awesome, a much quicker read( I read the 4 books in like 5 days and they are WAY larger then VD. VD is taking me months to finish....but not because its not good, its cause Im busier and just cant break night to read..lol
2) So with that says (thus far) Twilight is my favorite series out of the two..HOWEVER, Im not finished yet and I do have issues w/ somethings being SOOOO similiar.
3) Facts are that VD did come out WAY b4 twilight was even a thought..and I do think that VD was "bitten" off of for parts of twilight...( I mean come on)
4) With everything considered I love them both and don't really care about the petty debate..Im just glad that both series are here for my enjoyment =)

LASTLY, I want to thank whoever did the casting for new moon and twilight cause robert pattinson as a vamp and taylor lautner (swoon) are very lovely to watch...
and Damon and Stefan...especially Damon...are HOTT!!
Plus, both the movie twilight ( and hoping new moon)
and the VD show are GREAT!!!!!!!

So those are my 2 cents on the issue..for whatever they are worth =)
