My life has changed (I became old, all my friends moved away, depression and medical issues burned away my passions) but I DM'd RPG games for 20 years or something, I was a huge Tolkien fan from the first moment I opened the Holy Trilogy in the mid 70s, I was a keen follower of Dr Who, comics were to be my future, I was an OS/2 fanboy before I found Linux and bent my first kernel (zero-point-something), and I was there when Star Wars changed the world. It is all gone now, of course.
