How long have I been an anime fan? -- Forabout 10 years, since May 1997.
First anime ever? -- Maple Town Stories(dub). I loved this show when I was 5 or 6.
Anime that hooked me into anime? -- Sailor Moon(dub)
Sub or Dub? -- I definitely prefer subtitled anime ("prefer" probably isn't a strong enough word...). However, if a dub is really, really, really good, I might watch it. I can only name maybe 3 or 4 dubs that I consider "really good." Early on in my fandom, I watched a lot of dub anime because that's all I knew of (we're talking really early on...). But for the past several years, I've watched almost exclusively subtitled anime, unless the dub is actually better than the original.
Favorite anime? -- I think my absolute favorite would be Cardcaptor Sakura. However, there are dozens of series that I consider my favorites (I've seen over 250 anime, so it's very difficult to decide), and that list is always changing, so please follow the link in the answer to the next question.

Age -- 22 years old. That's right, I'm 22! Contrary to what seems to be popular belief, I'm not 14 or 15, although I did start this site when I was about 17.
Location -- Erie, Pennsylvania
Real Name -- Amanda
Siblings -- One 18-year-old sister
Pets -- Two female miniature dachshunds. Maddie is a black-and-tan short hair, and Gracie is a solid chocolate long hair. Maddie is just over a year old, and Gracie is still a young pup. I'm crazy about my two doxie girls. My previous dog of 13 years passed away in the summer of 2005. Her name was Milly, and she was an English Springer Spaniel. She and I were just about as close as we could be and I miss her terribly.
Hair -- Darkish brown. It is wavy/curly and goes down to about the middle of my back.
Eyes -- Brown
Favorite Colors -- Light Blue, Dark Blue, Blue Gray, Dark Red...why did I capitalize all of them? They're not proper names or anything... Oh, and I hate brown, yellow, and most greens.
Favorite Foods -- Pizza, French Fries, Chicken, Watermelon, Doritos, Snow Cones, Churros...more... And I love amusement/theme park food! Healthy stuff, right? Good thing I only eat one meal a day (dinner) or I'd be fat...
Favorite Drink -- Pepsi. Oh how I love Pepsi...
Other Interests (besides anime) -- Roller coasters, various periods of history, animals...other things I can't think of at the moment...wow, I sound like a dork...hmm... I'm not as boring as I sound, I promise!
Things I hate -- To be perfectly honest, I hate lots and lots and lots of things, some of them for no particular reason. It takes almost nothing to make me hate something, and it takes a lot to make me like something. I'm just that kind of person. Also, most of the things I hate are trivial, but I hate them with the same passion as the "big" things I hate. I can't list all of the things I hate...I don't even know where to begin...Mistreat an animal or use excessively bad grammar in my presence though, and you'll make it on my list of hated things.
Other random info (in no particular order) -- I sleep during the day, and I'm awake at night. I like summer, even though I hate being hot. I love traveling more than almost anything. I only eat one meal a day, dinner, because I hardly ever get hungry (it's not just a crazy diet). It takes a lot to get me mad, but when I'm mad, I'm absolutely furious. It doesn't take much to irritate me. I'm picky about everything. I love Halloween and everything to do with it. A lot. Of course, I don't trick-or-treat anymore (I just walk through my old trick-or-treat neighborhoods on Halloween night wishing I was still young enough to do it...). I hate candy anyway. I also hate birthday cake. I do like ice cream, though. I love J-Pop and anime music. I've been told I'm a little cold towards others. That's probably true (I'll be nice to you if you e-mail me or something, though!). I like watching CNN for hours at a time. I've been a fan of The Simpsons for well over 12 years. I've been using eBay since 1999, and still love it.
None of this really tells you much about me...but I can't think of what else to say. Oh well.
