The kid within me is freaking out right now. I just heard news via facebook that the new Narnia movie will be The Silver Chair. I've been waiting years for this to happen. As a nine year old I was a hard core Narnia nerd. No joke! My favourite book of course was none other than The Silver Chair.
I had the whole series not just as books but on CD too (cheesy sound effects included). I remember long journeys in the car, listening to a British voice drone on about Aslan and wardrobes. I still have them to this day!
It wasn't enough for me to listen to the books or read the books, I had a Narnia themed room too. I had a Narnia calender which I ripped the pictures out of and blu-tacked onto my wall once I was done using it. I was obviously a decor expert.
My obsession didn't end there. No. My tenth birthday was Narnia themed. It was pretty legit. I made TONS of paper snowflakes which my mum hung from the ceiling with string. I had Narnia figurines all over my cake and all the kids at my party decorated home baked ginger bread houses. I loved every moment of it!
Oh and on book day at my school who did I dress up as? Susan! Of course.
So as you can tell I was a pretty committed fan. The key word there is was. No, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy no longer adorn my walls and my previous fandom is not something I would proudly bring up in a day to day conversation but I was still pretty excited to hear about this movie. I'm allowed to be a total nerd about something right?
I was a little disappointed when I found out the silver chair movie won't actually be out until 2018. So, when I'm like 20 or 21. A LONG way away. By then I'll probably be a broke student but I'll be sure to forge out a couple bucks to see this one in honour of my nine-year-old self.
