Here I'll post five facts per post. 
1. My real name is Melanie. My mom named me that because she thought it was a cute girl's name, and also because there was a popular celebrity with that name around when I was born.
2. I'm engaged to a man I initially met on Twitch (through a mutual friend's stream chat) and who I now live with. That mutual friend officially introduced us over Discord, and a month later we were a couple. A month after that, we met in person for the first time. After almost a year of video calling whenever we could, and meeting up once a month, we were able to move in together. And that mutual friend? She was a person I first met on a forum nearly twenty years ago, and eventually we got to meet up in person!
3. I've been a Pokémon fan for nearly 25 years. That's most of my life (I'm turning 30 this year). How I got into Pokémon was a complete accident. My dad found a Game Boy with Pokémon Blue Version in it at work, and they told him he could keep it. He gave it to me, and that was my first video game. My starter was Squirtle.
4. I was born in Missouri, and lived in Illinois for one year (2004-2005) but have lived in Michigan since 2005. My parents are both from Michigan, and my dad really wanted to move back. Growing up, taking trips to Michigan was a yearly thing.
5. I'm a huge reader. I read almost every single day. Often I'll read a couple pages, make three forum posts, read another two pages, etc. I call this "reading and posting".
