Is it normal romeo & juliet obsession??

As a child I was obsessed with Romeo & Juliet, in particular the '60s version. I wanted to change my name to Juliet. I loved the clothes she wore (I've a couple of dresses like this) loved the idea of an obsessive love like theirs; the fact they got married secretly and did it – IT!! I wanted a balcony off my parents house, I wanted a nurse like she had (maybe I need a real one). I have memories of me “committing suicide” with various play knives. We did study it at school, but I'm told that all the different books with summaries and explanations of R&J in, were due to me loving the play so much and not because of study. You'd think I'd hate it now but I don't; I do think about it quite differently. is it normal ??
