That's about the same amount of time I've been in this fandom. I've been in fandom in general since I read the fourth Harry Potter book--I stumbled across some fanfiction for it one day, and fandom has pretty much taken over my life since.

I've got an older sister (by ten years) and younger brother and a younger sister, three dogs, two cats and two hermit crabs. But they all live an hour away, so here at my apartment it's just my two roommates and the piranha, Petey. But what I really want, pet wise, is a snake. :)
