What is your "life story"?

In the spirit of stories, which I love so much, I'm gonna ask this and see if anyone actually answers. I'm wondering if anybody's life could really be a story that other people might want to read, you know? I always wondered if my life could be a book. I know it's a weird question, I just want to see..

In the story of your life, or at least in a section of it..

1) How did it begin? What kind of family or home were you brought into? Siblings? Pets?

2) What were the basics? Was your life ever totally happy and carefree? What took your time?

3) What problems eventually arose?

4) Was there a climax to the story?

5) Did things get resolved?

Give me the run down on your life :) If you feel like it... lol, thanks!

Update:

@Harry - I'm not using it for a story, I'm just interested in people and what goes on in their lives :) But thanks so much for sharing!

Update 2:

@Steve - I believe that's just as good. :)

    1) It began 14 years ago :] into a home with a mom, dad and later 2 younger brothers. I got 2 lizards in elementary school, but they died. They were my first pets. Then, we got a bunch of hermit crabs, and all but one are dead. We also have 4 cats.

    2) The basics? Umm... my life was pretty happy. I had a best friend, but I kinda lost her when I got addicted to the computer, and then she moved to a different school.

    3) With the computer. It ruined my relationship with my friends because I also put the computer over my friends. It also ruined my relationship with my mom because she always wanted me to clean my room, and she was just pissed off at me for always being on the computer. In 5th grade, I started to show symptoms of a neurotical disorder called dystonia. You can think of it as being in the "seizure family", but it's not as bad as seizures. I don't go unconsciue. It affects my nerves and causes my muscles to act really weird. I can't control whichever muscles (my neck, arms, wrists, legs and feet, but neck only got affected when it was REALLY bad. My head would lift really back, like I was looking at the ceiling, and I would just get this weird expression on my face.) it's affecting when it happens, although it only lasts a few seconds, it's sometimes really painful. Even if it's not painful, it's always uncomfortable, & it doesn't help that I would get stressful when it happens because stress also seems to contribute to how bad my symptoms were. I've fallen down the stairs and on an overhead because of it. You wouldn't believe how long a few seconds can seem when you can't control a few of your limbs.

    4) Again, with the computer. I suppose it happened in 5th grade with my best friend. I would go over to her house, and play Neopets with her. Ironically, she's the one who got me into it. She would tell me not to log off because her computer was "different" or w/e, so I wouldn't log off. Because I believe her. I went home everyday in 5th grade, crying, because I thought it was like idk, a bad guy or something. I remember one time, she sent my favorite pet into the adoption agency. I remember I made up a REALLY complicated password, like vv3Nd@y1989 or something like that, lol. But I was afraid I would forget it, but I also wrote it down, so how stupid was that? , so I told her. And yeah... >.<

    5) Well, she never admitted to doing that to me in 5th grade, but I forgave her. I understand how she felt because I was always putting the computer over her, and I was such a horrible friend. I also got dianogoised with dystonia in 8th grade, a little over a year ago. It was finally a relief to get on medication (which is also an antiseizure medication) for it because it had such a horrible impact on my life. Oh, and we found out that my particular dystonia was caused by movement, which was why it happened to me 50+ times a day.

    I actually wrote it, and it was nice, thinking about it, writing about it. Not so nice in some parts, but still good to have written it, however short. But halfway through I realized I wouldn't send it. It's too personal, or maybe it's just that as long as just I know, I can still ignore it. About some of this stuff I never talked to anybody at all. At least not while being sober.

    But I just wanted you to know that I actually thought about answering you and that I can't see anyone reading my life story and finding it interesting. It would make a good short story though.

    1) I was born on my mums birthday in the north-west of England, on the 25th April, and originally lived in a lovely flat. (Apartment, if you are American) then when I was about 5 we moved to the house we are in now. We got a cat and a dog. There were going to be sent to a rescue centre by their old owners, I am so glad we got them though. A few months after the RSPCA found a load of dead starved animals in the rescue our cat and dog were going to get sent to. I have an older brother too, who is like my best friend.

    2) My earlier life was pretty hard, I got bullied and walked all over by so called friends, but real friends kept me going and I am thankful to them. :o)

    3) In February 2000, my nan died of cancer after a misdiagnosis. The idiots in the NHS thought she had gallstones.

    4.) There isn't really any climax so far, apart from being accepted into the college I had dreamed about for years.

    5) Things are definatley getting better for me finally!

    My life so far has been quite ordinary, which might be one reason I feel the need to make up stories about other people's lives...
