Er, am I supposed to introduce myself here?
Heh, well, I'm North Satsuma and...yeah. I'm pretty boring XD
I'm Vietnamese-American, I like asking weird (and sometimes uncomfortable) questions, and I plan on studying abroad.
I've been reading SSSS for a while now, just haven't gotten to making an account here until now.

Welcome, and enjoy.  Have you an idea where you would like to study?  Are you perhaps looking at a AFS posting?  (For non-Americans, AFS lets secondary students study abroad for a year, usually their junior year.)

Hello and Welcome!
Weird can mean fun, at least from my experiences. I'm sure you'll bring something interesting.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have looked at their programs, but they all seem a bit overpriced, or at least compared to other organizations.
I'm thinking about studying in either Austria or Finland (but I swear that it's for reasons other than SSSS.)

Hello, I'm Pippin! I just discovered SSSS last night while reading TVtropes. I'm all caught up now, though! (Because who needs sleep anyways?) I love the comic, and figured it might be interesting to join this forum.

I'm a college student from the USA state of Minnesota, and I love snow and cold weather. I have a pretty terrible memory and have enough trouble talking even when I know what people are saying, so I kind of suck at languages. I am fluent in English, know enough Spanish to scrape by when I need it, and have learned a few random phrases in German.

I love drawing, physics, math, singing, reading, and starting on a wikipedia page and following links until I have 30 tabs open. I'm in general pretty interested in how things work and come to be.

Welcome, Pippin!  I'm impressed that you were able to escape the seductive clutches of TVTropes -- I've wasted far too many hours there.  But if it brought you to SSSS, and then to this Forum, that's all good! 

If you're from Minnesota (like several other Forumites), you certainly know about the kind of weather the crew has had to face in the comic.  And it sounds like you might be interested in reading and/or contributing to the various discussion threads, both in the SSSS Comic and General folders, discussing how things in the Known World might work. 

Everyone here is pretty friendly, so don't hesitate to start posting or ask a question.  And you got here at a good time -- Sept. 1 is the Forum's third anniversary, which means an online celebration.  There will probably be confetti, movies and/or music to share, maybe a trivia quiz...?  (The admins, including me, are scurrying around behind the scenes doing party planning; we'll start soliciting ideas and help soon.)

Thanks, urbicande!
Is that morse code in your profile? And if so, does it mean "Are you busy?" I was trying to look up the abbreviation QRL, but that was all I could find.

Welcome to Pippin!  One of the best things about this Forum is that we have such a great range of experiences among us, and that 30-tabs-down-the-rabbit-hole enquiry habit will serve you well.
