Okay, so has anyone seen the movie Tarzan? Following his encounter with Jane, Tarzan demands of his gorilla-mom, "why didn't you tell me there were creatures like me?" and then runs away into the forest to deal with this shocking revelation and a Phil Collins song probably begins to play and all that. This was my totally reaction upon discovering this board....well, there was no Phil Collins, but needless to say, I was a little overwhelmed. I seriously thought I was the only one. Okay, well, not really. I figured there were fans out there somewhere, but I thought I was the only one who cared so much. I stumbled across a few BSC blogs one day (how? I have no idea) and then this site. I've been lurking for awhile (wow, that sounds so creepy...) and I can't resist anymore. I have to join. I wish I'd found this years ago. I've been a big fan for....lord, I can't remember how long...It's part of my childhood. I continued reading them into my teens because the books were such a nice escape from life. And well, because I had no life... Anyway, it's so nice to know other people love (and love to hate) these books. Oh, and sorry for totally ignoring your "introduction" thread. I know that's probably annoying but hopefully you'll be able to forgive me. I'm Nikki, by the way.

I knew as soon as I saw the title of your post what it would be about! Nope, you're not the only one. There are other adults who think actress Scarlett Johansson's name is funny because it sounds like "Charlotte Johanssen" and who wish they could go to Sea City on vacation.
Welcome to the boards!

Welcome! I felt the exact same way and still do. Finding this board made me start rereading the series! I was finally, in my middle age, able to track down every single book I need to complete so I thought what the heck!
I wish though that the book club would start again as I would love to chat about the books and read them with others!

Please don't let the inactivity of the book club keep you quiet! Even if you don't know for sure that anyone else is currently reading the same book you are, you can talk about the books you've just read or happen to have on your mind. A lot of times I go and read a book I see mentioned here just because someone brought up a detail I think is interesting.
