Hello everyone!
I have been reading the ssss since spring and I'm hooked. I have been semi active in the discus, and started to post here too. As I got rather personal at the personal section I figured that it is time to introduce myself.
I'm from Finland, close to forty, male, husband, father of five, Psychiatric Nurse (registered) and got a masters degree in nursing science. My nick is my name. I used to work as a unit manager (or ward-sister
) for adolescent psychiatry but quit after 8 years, to start working part time for a Lutheran diocese as a secretary of the diocese. I also work part time as a psychiatric nurse in my old unit. It is nice to be back in the line.
I'm a reader, both fiction (thrillers, historical novels, fantasy) and fact (history mainly). I love comics and use them to unwind. I apologize for my English, my passive English is quite good (I read more in English that in Finnish and I lived in UK for a bit over a year some decade ago), but my active English is rusty. The problem is that my brain still thinks that I can write fluent English so I just arrogantly write what comes to mind.
I'm quite keen on speculating on spiritual matters. I love how the use of old Finnish words (and the concepts behind the words) "luonto", "väki" etc... are in use at this comic. My professional training makes me interested in individual behavior the group behavior that is present at the comic. I have done my military service (NCO, arctic region long range ranger/scout), as most male citizen in the Finland, and on occasion might feel the pressure to comment on something that relates to use of guns, guns, psychology of killing etc.
It would be nice to have a IRL meet in Helsinki (or southern Finland) at some point.
