I still make AMVs. It lead to work where I got to meet some really cool people and go behind the scenes at a film studio but left because my boss treated me like shit. The other staff and clients were awesome though.

I was about 7 when I first read Ironfist Chinmi; my mother's cousins were big into comics. My parents watched Akira, GITS, Evangelion etc. though my Dad is now a super militant Christian but still watches DBZ. When my ma was studying, her friend Akiko would bring me Pokemon stuff from Japan. My Dad's boss gave me his duplicate DBZ/Pokemon cards and I was allowed to watch Toonami when I came to work with him.

When staying at my Grandma's, she had cable so I'd get up early to watch CCS, Pokemon, Flint the Time Detective, Digimon, Monster Rancher etc.

Going to a girl's high school, I joined the anime club but was the only one who actually brought anything in- I'm still missing my GLB volume 1 and a few issues of Shojo Beat... I rented A LOT of manga from the local library like D.N.Angel and Naruto.

I LARPED and was HEAVILY into my fanfic/doujin and still am, which is why I'm a keen artist and writer. I love me some yaoi. Still have printouts of Baku/Thief/Tendershipping from over a decade ago on my bookshelf. I submitted fanfics for English schoolwork.

I became obsessed with JRPGs and taught myself 5 instruments in a year because I loved FF soundtracks. I took Music GCSE out of nowhere, performing two pieces from FFX and convinced the school orchestra to play Tifa's Theme at a concert.

I got into Lolita around 2004 and bought disgusting shit from Cosmates. I had no knowledge of a lolita 'community' so I didn't know how to SS/auction. I didn't even know about Bodyline. I still have babby's first extremely overpriced offbrand dresses, one of which I modified for oldschool. I kept telling myself I was going to cut it up, sell or or give it away but it has too many memories attached.
