Hi there.
I'm someone who's been enamored with bunnies for a long time, but I never had the opportunity to really be around one until I found and adopted Angel from a shelter last October:
The shelter did not seem to know too much about him (or rabbits in general), but he was listed as "Tomo, Holland lop of 8-9 months" at the time, so I'm just going to assume he shares his birthday with mine in January.
I'm sure he is happy to get away from that place. Before leaving one of the ladies working there showed me some ways to "handle" a rabbit by picking him up in ways that he clearly didn't like. She also demonstrated laying him on his back to put him in a "trance" (which I didn't know was dangerous at the time), and then she got him out of it by slamming her hand on the table and scaring him half to death. At that point I no longer had any doubts about adopting him.
I took him to a rabbit vet soon after he got settled in, and she said he seemed perfectly healthy. (though he doesn't seem to have been neutered and I'm still considering having that done)
I've just been doing the best I can for him since then. He seems really mellow and well-adjusted when it comes to interacting with humans. Sudden loud noises don't even seem to faze him, and the only things that can really freak him out are being picked up or having his back feet touched.
As for myself, I spend a lot of my time playing video games and consider myself a hobbyist game developer. I'm currently working on a bunny-themed idle game. I love cute things of all sorts, but I guess bunnies just speak to me on a personal level.

I can see why you named him Angel. He's gorgeous
