I'll also go with year by year timeline: 1999: Born, nearly died immediately. Got asthma. 2003: Made a close friendship with neighbour kid. 2005: Get in to Bionicle with friends 2006: Start school, get two more friends. Bionicle is life. 2007: One of the new friends moves away. 2008: Get into judo. Quit four years later. Bionicle and Transformers are life. 2009: Start to drift off of the original friends, get few new. Start gaming. 2010: Parents separate, Bionicle ends. Not cool. 2011: Friends quit Lego, I try too, buy Surge 2.0 instead. HF becomes private hobby. 2012: Breakout and gaming are life, secondary school starts. Get a LOT of friends. --> 2014: Bonkle returns. All is relatively well.
