New to posting about myself personally

So, I didn't do my intro thread while I was a cavy newbie because I was nervous about how little knowledge I had about guinea pigs at the time. I don't have guinea pigs, and as far as I know I won't have any anytime soon. The reason being, I am 19, living at home with 5 other people(2 brothers, one future sister in law, and two parents) and one cat(moms), one puppy(oldest brother/his fiancee's) and second oldest brothers fishies. Since being on the forums, and in the chat room(very nice people in the chat room, join us some time ) I have learned so much, and have been adding lots of information to my guinea pigs folder on my computer. So, I guess I just wanted to say hi everyone, you can call me Ear. I want to adopt guinea pigs(haven't had a whole lot of success locating rescues near me(Bend, OR) might have to drive a ways, which is fine. But as I said mom doesn't want another pet in our house right now even though I have been waiting for years for my very own pet. I know once I learn alot more, and get things settled in the family and financially guinea pigs are the right choice for me.
