My girlfriend at the time was trying to get me to write/read something other than bandom. I was reeeeaaaally into Harry Potter and she was like, 'so hey, have you noticed that Remus and Sirius are totally soul mates?' and I may have blinked at her but she sent me packing with the books and told me to come back when I figured it out. It's sadly the only good thing to come out of that relationship and the reason why I abandoned the ship for a year to deal with my heart woe, but I'm still glad for it, because it makes me happy.
