Well...
In elementary school me and my friend used to play "our game" where we pretend we are different people, normally from video games or movies, and we would live in a different world for hours and hours at a time.
Then, I become obsessed with RPGs in about 3rd grade.
Then, I discovered RP chatrooms on AOL and spent the majority of my time there.
Then, I found Graal and started playing it religiously.
Then, Graal2k1 came along with *gasp* roleplaying and I nearly wet my pants.
And I still do chatroom RP, it's one of my favorite media for roleplaying.
