My Underworld...World..

Being the late bloomer that i am, when everyone in this entire universe was entranced and obsessed with Twilight and the exciting idea of a modern day supernatural phenomenon, i was insistent that it was going to be another overrated rubbish. And so, the whole thing did not appeal to me. I couldn't really be bothered much about watching it.

One Sunday months later, i was bored at home and was going through the DVD collection and literally stumbled upon Twilight. With my sis and mum's raves ringing in my ear, i thought "why not?", and to be honest i had nothing else to watch anyway.

Then i became one of the many ravers gracing this world. Seriously.

I loved it! Probably became obsessed about it. I then proceeded to buy the books. 3 of them. And when i couldn't find the 4th one, i asked my boyfriend who was in the UK at the time, to hunt it down for me. Little did i know that the book was so huge and heavy (hardcover) that (in his words), he needed to buy another suitcase just to carry it. An exaggeration i'm sure.

So anyway, 4 books of the Twilight saga later, i'm looking around for something more. Then came the Vampire Diaries series. And this completely took me back to my younger days when i was obsessed with L.J Smith's Vampire Diaries saga. Imagine; it's all actually going to be shown on TV!!

So began my obsession with downloading it every week as soon as the episode airs in the US. And to top that off, i'm reading a saga not on vampires, but immortals. Sigh. I'm starting to wonder if this is a sign that i'm actually regressing in my mental age.

But you know, i think part of the whole obsession with it is that it makes you feel young again. I mean all these...vampires, witches and like things, these are all targeted for teens. And make no mistake, when i was a teen (and into my 20's, there was nothing that i'd love more than suddenly waking up one morning and being told by a fairy godmother that i'm actually a witch).

With our lives so consumed by all things "adult", what's wrong with wanting to go back to when things were so much easier. I prefer that theory than the other that says that actually, i haven't grown up that much mentally....or emotionally. *sigh*
