I've been playing piano since I was 5 (so, I've been playing 10 years, lol). I absolutely ADORE the piano, though, unfortunately, my respect for the piano only sprung up this year. So I have had many years wasted where I never practiced, dreaded lessons and everything.
I also play the saxaphone, which is a different story. I'd MUCH rather practice piano than saxaphone, so it is rare that I would actually take the energy to take the instrument out of the case, lol. But, as my school band is very small and not very good (I go to a small, all-girls school) I can get away with just sight-reading. :)
