Considering Buddhism

Image via Wikipedia

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've been studying Buddhism lately and there are a lot of aspects about it that really appeal to me. I'm pretty sure I've seen some folks here that are Buddhist and I was wondering if someone could give me some insight on a few things:

What first attracted you to Buddhism?

How has it changed your daily life?

What school of Buddhism were you attracted to and why?

Were there any concepts or aspects that you found particularly difficult and why?

Do you consider Buddhism to be more of a religion or philosophy?

I guess that's about it for now. Any tips, advice, or resources would be very appreciated as well.
