Welcome Jim! I have read your first posts here. And yes. Dr. mackousko says. A clear case of infection.

Ah, yes... a tummy rumble. I have had some hearing loss most of my life so I wasn't sure if her tummy was rumbling or if there were pigeons on my deck. Now I know which it is.a_contemplative_life wrote:Yeah, that was funny.

It was kind of the same story in my case too i saw the movie in 2010 and then simply forgot about itLoveless wrote:I have to admit, when I saw the movie for the first time it didn't really catch my attention. It happened about a year ago. My sister and I watched plenty of horror movies that time, and we desperately searched for quality and interesting movies we hadn't seen yet. That was when we found "Let the right one in" in our local library. We borrowed it and watched it at home. Altough it was strange after all the "average" styled horror movies, I still liked it very much, though I didn't really think about it afterwards.
Then some months ago we were chatting with my friends, and one of them mentioned the book. I immediately realized that I saw the movie version, I just wasn't aware that it was based on a book. She let me borrow her copy and I read it through really fast. After reading only the first one or two chapters, I already new that I became infected. Hopelessly. Since then I got my own copy and treasure it like a child does his favourite toy. Now I'm reading "Handling the undead", also thanks to my wonderful friend who got me infected. :3
To be honest, I was very surprised when I found this site and saw how many people became infected with this story. I've been a "fangirl" in all my life, so I'm already used to the feeling that my mind is continuously full of different stories, movies and series. I'm also used to the feeling that most people don't really understand what it's like to be so devoted and obsessed with a made up story and its characters. In other words, I already got used to being considered a weirdo, especially since being a fan of such things usually effects teenagers, and I'm not a teenager way too long time ago.
So long story short, I was very happy to find a place where there are people from all around the world, from all age groups, loving this wonderful story together. Thanks to you, I don't feel myself so alone anymore. Even though I know many people my age being the same as I am, I've never ever seen such a diverse fandom community, where I'm not so unique being over 20. (^_~)
(Okay, I don't know if I made any sense with this last part, I just have so many feelings with this forum and I wanted to get it off my chest somehow. )
