It was the TV until I was 13. I was then raised by the computer for a couple years until I worked up the balls to splice some telephone lines together to get dialup in my room. From there, I was abused by the internet and became a degenerate anime fan, illegal porn and, and Perl user. I took school computers apart and replaced the parts with cheaper parts. I became infatuated with e-personalities like RMS and Fravia, and I set up a script to download 240p RealMedia CardCaptor Sakura hardsubbed episodes during the day, while I browsed green-on-black websites by l33t h4x0r until four in the morning while listening to techno while programming (I slept during school), and trolling on IRC. I experimented with crime and shady websites, but didn't make any money. Then I found 4chan everything was downhill from there.
