Fear not! I have learned after 35-40 years, that Romanov fever only goes dormant, it never goes away! One can be interested in something else for years....then you see a book , or a photo and Bam! the Romanov's are back...and stronger too! Once they claim you, that's it. I don't think they will mind sharing you with Sissi'.They know it's only a loan! lol!
You're right. For me, they went dormant for about a year. Then about winter of last year, my mom borrowed a book on the Romanovs for me, and kaboom, it woke up. Then, i went a few months focusing on Eva Peron in the fall last year, but it just came back at me like a boomerang. You're totally right. I am on loan. I just wonder why this Sissi phase didn't come sooner, because I've known about her since I was very little (kudos Rick Steve's Europe) and I was somewhat interested in her since this summer.
I blame Eva Peron for getting me into Sissi, though. Somehow, looking up "don't cry for me argentina german" on Youtube got me onto a video with Pia Douwes and Uwe Kroeger covering different songs from differnet musicals in German, and then I saw a link to a clip from "Elisabeth das Musical." I was intrigued because I recognized the dress Pia was wearing in the thumbnail picture, so i clicked on it and listened to the song. A month or two later, I decided to see if I could find the full muscial and I fell in love. So thank you, Evita, for bringing me to Sissi, whom I've known about since I was about 5 years old but never payed attention to. Wow, I can't believe I just typed all that.
P.S. I can assume, relying on the speed of your nickname changes, that your views, with no doubt, would change with the same quickness;)
Actually, the reason I change it a lot is because I have so many things to say.
P.S. I sure hope my Romanov obsession doesn't come back stronger, because it was pretty strong before Sissi. I could die from it if it were any stronger.
Imagine turning on the news and you hear "and in world news tonight, a young girl from the United States died from a heart attack because of a long time super-obsession with the Romanovs of Russia. The remaining members of the family refuse to comment...."
