In which I contemplate the death of the inner fangirl

[spaceyplum]

If I'm truly honest I must admit she's been dying a very slow death for the last five years at least. Gone are the halcyon days of obsessively watching and/or collecting that used to define my world to some degree. It started with the soaps, became really bad with The X-Files and I do believe it ended with Potter Verse

Muriel I know how you feel.I made the same transition starting this past winter.It stared with my Bold and Beautiful tapes(but not my hard-to-come-by One Life tapes featuring RH and FL as TnT,I searched forever for those.And I don´t even have my vcr connected to the tv set anymore,but I just can´t get rid of them,it´s TnT/RH and FL fgs! You know.And I finally let the soaps go forever.And a coupe of weeks ago it was the soap rags.My new obsession are the movies,Old Hollywwod to be precise,and some contemporary ones and I did rediscover Jackie Collins this past summer.I loved her book growing up.It really is growing up in a way.And at 35 you think you should have but you made an interesting point.Pop culture.The kids born in the 70´s were the new teens and not even their parents let them grew up like normal people (hrm..I am a grown up) but nowdays there is your education which probably earn you a degree at like 36 if your lucky and if your really lucky,a steady job and then it´s kid and your old man,or your old lady,that depends.Sorry for the long rant but my point is,we shouldn´t have to grow up at 35ish,we are already adults in the midst of life(loose term).II apologise for the long rant but II just took comfort in the fact that someone out there went through something similar :)
