It took me nearly 8 years but I've finally, FINALLY, completed my wardrobe. I have every attainable piece of clothing on the site! It's been my unwavering goal since I began and has cost me well over 500m and was so, TOTALLY worth it. I think I might cry.
THANK YOU to everyone, and there have been hundreds, over the years who have helped me build up my collection, but particular thanks to : Spontaneous

who probably don't even remember helping me but I remember you. Either through restocking difficult items for me, giving me discount of a butt-load of retired clothing or actually donating stuff for free (I will NEVER get over having the war pants, long pants and shirt donated for FREE. You know who you are you lovely).
Argh, okay happy rant over. Mara you're a wonderful community. Now I can finally work on my pets properly!
Okay, throwing my true nerdiness out there for a moment. The final episode of Naruto has aired, ten years after I watched the first episode and got hooked on anime. That is 720 episodes. Not gonna lie, there were tears as the final credits rolled.
Stupid as it sounds, that show has impacted my life a ridiculous amount. The reason I have the friends I do is because of that show. My interest in languages is because of it too. And my love of Japan. In fact my personality and confidence come from watching Naruto. Not directly, of course. I do not run around shouting believe it, trying to throw shuriken at everyone.
I was the shy girl in school who sat at the back, reading books in homeroom. One day I brought in the Naruto manga because it was the latest volume and I was dying to know what happened.
A girl leaned over me as I was reading it and asked \"what\'s that? Ooo that\'s one of the books you read backwards. How do you read it? Do you not get confused?\"
That girl became my best friend, and we had not spoken a word previously.
I still find it difficult to make conversation with people. New people especially. However, if I find out they\'re into anime or anything, you will not find someone as passionate as me. Well. Maybe you will. In which case I would love to meet you. Ask me any trivia about Naruto and I know it 99.9% of the time.
I have so many cherished memories because of Naruto from the monthly trips I took with my mum to the city just so I could buy the latest Naruto DVDs in 2007. We always made a day of it; went for food at Bella Italia too. There were four-hour long phone calls with my friends just because we discovered who were voicing our favourite characters in the English dub.
Hell, the first ever full novel I finished writing was a Naruto fanfiction, clocking in at 400 pages. I would sneak the manga into school and my friends would read it during form-time, I would drive my parents nuts because I wanted every piece of merchandise under the sun (and thanks mum, thanks dad, for pretty much buying me every piece of merchandise under the sun xD).
I was 12 when I first started watching it. I'm 22 now. In episode 1, Naruto is 12. In the final episode, he is 22/23. I grew up alongside the characters (heck, just realising we were the exact same ages now scared the bujebus out of me). I've even got Deidara the fire quell in commemoration of my favourite character~
I am sad it is over but it was such a good run. Now excuse me while I bury myself as you all seriously judge me xD
Call me Ghibli. Call me Sarah. I'm always trading for missing clothes.
