Today I feel like writing. I have been posting a lot on my Twilight Saga page. The other day I was told that I was too old to post on that site. Its always a reaction to something like this that defines your character, imo. Sure I could blog about how "this is my Diary" or something, and Everyone has had someone on here say something about thier blog but not say who they were. Its the internet. I could careless if they think I am to old. But it got me thinking, why is it that there are limitations on age and things people like. Its ridiculous to think that , for example, I am too old to enjoy the Hanna Montana show. Now I really don't enjoy this show, but if I did, so what? Its something that I enjoy, and someone else doesn't.
The Twilight Saga page, is on the internet so you are going to get a WIDE age group. The books are mostly marketed to "Young Adult" which is good, but that doesn't mean that someone who is not a young adult can't enjoy the books. I like this Twilight Saga page becuase its not a typical fan site of "I LOVE THIS CHARACTER" and "I will be the next Bella" or something. Sure that is there, but there are real people posting about view points, their theories on the meaning behind a character actions.. One could say its a Virtual book club. So now, am I too old for that? IMO no. I don't think I will ever be to old to learn new ways of thinking, to gain new knowledge and theories, to interpret structure and reading materials.
So this ends my rant. I am sure I will edit this later when I want to write about the upcoming weekend.
