The six things that happened when I was fifteen and dominated my fandom year:

CLAY AIKEN WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL

"SYDNEY, YOU'VE BEEN MISSING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS."

ORDER OF THE PHOENIX CAME OUT, which was a big enough deal on its own but also HUUUUUUUUUUGE in terms of it being the end of the Three-Year Summer

MICHAEL VARTAN AND JENNIFER GARNER STARTED DATING

THE OC PREMIERED

MY FAMILY MOVED AND I BECAME AN ANGST MONSTER

I think these are MOSTLY self-explanatory but I do want to elaborate that after The OC became a thing, I concocted an all-out "THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D SEE ON THE WALL OF A SERIAL KILLER" plan to get myself chosen to be a mod on Fan Forum's brand new Adam Brody board even though I was only fifteen, and it WORKED. Nothing has ever been more disappointing than doing all that strategizing, finally getting access to the TOP SECRET MODS-ONLY BOARD, and finding out it was like 99% birthday threads and NO SHIT TALK IN SIGHT. WHAT A LETDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
