My sister (or half-sister, if we want to get technical) is 12 years 
older than me. We get along pretty well (after we both grew up, that 
is; I used to hate her for her "I'm-too-old-to-play-with-kids" 
attitude), and we share the house after my parents moved to the 
beach. I'm a Sirius fan, she's a Snape fan, and not even *that* get 
between us, so yeah, I can say we get along very well ^__^

Uhn... She probably wouldn't want me to reveal her ID. She enjoys 
pretending I'm only a friend in the web. I see her point, though. 
Sometimes, when she states her opinion to someone who knows we are 
sisters, she ends up hearing something like, "well, of course *you* 
would say that, if you're Morgan's sister". And that's really 
annoying.

She's mostly a lurker in the Main List. I suspect she's still being 
moderated, since she hasn't posted more than two or three times.

We don't have the neutral gender in Portuguese. People, objects, 
abstract concepts, everything is either male or female. Cars are 
male. Ships can be both, depending on the word you use ("navio" is 
male, "nave" is female). Bikes and motorbikes are female.

That would be... 152887 kilometers? Yeah, my Volkswagen Voyage should 
be around that mark too. (Long trips to the beach to visit my 
parents.)

Played the flute for 2 years. Wasn't really talented. I'm much better 
at singing.
