So Titanic to you was just a phase and not "apart" of you? Pity...

But it happens ^_^ Somethings are just like that for some people. Me I am nautical and not just focused on one ship...

I really dont care for Titanic much. It is something that is way in the past and you can no so much about it. It eventuallys get boring talking about the same stuff.

My father always introduced me as the Titanic nut..he would then ask someone to ask me a question about it....he is so embarrassing sometimes

My mom thinks I am crazy. You know with the Titanic and my movie ideas. I just ignore her.

i am strange.

Lol, well it is reversed for me, it's my parent's who think I am strange , still not as if I care lol.

Goodness gracious am I the oldest one here?!

Martyn you are the same age as my youngest daughter. I went to see the movie when she was seven!

Now back to the thread, I have a myriad of reasons for my love of Titanic that stem way back before the movie. I have always had a love for people and what greater story than Titanic. I am really also inspired by the fashion, jewellery and decor not to mention the old world charm of the era. The sea draws me in as well, it is just an amazing part of our world and I can't really put into words the effect it has on me. So I guess Titanic really ties together a lot of things that I cherish.

My family and friends accuse me of being obsessed, but I'm not, well maybe just a little. I even tell people that I collected my Husband from Southampton (which is true)

Somewhat of a quote from ghosts of the abyss:

'The titanic story is very personal to each person that hear's it, this massive ship in the middle of the atlantic, all these people, only half can survive'. In the words of james cameron 'you couldnt have written it better', tragic though that it actually did.

Loss of Titanic was a collection of mistakes and error's (to say it was just bad luck isnt really a strong argument). The accident that Olympic suffered only added to the white star lines ego that their ship was unsinkable, as such leading the crew and it's passengers into a false sence of security. This therefor I suppose you could argue making them less 'on the ball' as it where.

The 1997 film sky rocketed the ships popularity and the publics thrist for more about it. I myself when i saw the movie at age 7 was very taken in by the story (more so the ship and the people rather than jack and rose) and since then iv kept up a healthy intrest.

The whole thing about each persons story, the time, the other ships it makes for a lot of reading and learning :)

I just wanted to watch it because I have never seen it. I wanted to see it and look where I ended up.

well it started out i wanted to play my heart will go on on the piano and so i learned it and then i thought i wanted to watch the movie so i did and i fell in love with it.and i guess i just love the storys it tells.
