A beautiful, stunning woman with a great sense of humor. She always likes to party and have fun, but always stays responsible and mature whilst doing it. She is a go getter, over achiever, but she is always willing to put up a fight for anyone, especially her kids. She is a true dreamer to everyone that sees her, and definitely a lady’s man. She’s very successful and mature, and usually has a olive type of skin tone. But she isn’t too dark. A Maryann is very compassionate and a great example to kids. I am glad to have a Maryann in my life. ❤️

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
