Hello, I'm Tikadurmi, a 34-years old Finnish native living in Helsinki. When I'm not reading SSSS, I work as a biomedical laboratory technologist. Because life is not busy enough with full-time work and two small children, I also study Biology at university. Burn-out here I come! SSSS is my way of relieving stress: Sigrun's team is in a worse mess than I am.

Welcome! : D Wow, sure sounds like you have a lot on your plate. It's great that reading SSSS helps you relax, though. Must say I've felt the same, sometimes. "At least I'm not on an under-supplied research mission into dangerous territory..." ;p

Tervetuloa, Tikadurmi! *throws confetti*
Wow, a full-time job, studies, and little kids. That's pretty impressive.  :D

Hello and welcome, Tikadurmi! And to reassure you: speaking as someone who has done it, it is possible to survive the combination of study, work and children. You just acquire a bunch of extra grey hairs as well.

And SSSS is a most excellent way to survive those stresses! As is the Forum. Again, welcome!

Welcome! That's quite the impressive amount of things on your plate, and I agree with everyone else, SSSS is a great way to relieve stress. ;D I hope you enjoy it here!

It is a geode of pure concept, representing and parodying my egotistical need for constant praise and attention

Hey. You can call me Passing, or whatever. I don't really care too much. But as for a little bit about me, I'm a writer, RPer, and also a terrible artist who still sometimes draws things. I have way too much time on my hands, so I'll probably be here at least semi-frequently. But overall, it's nice to be here, ad I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hello and welcome, Passing Mention! You should find it interesting here, and of course the way to become a better artist is to do more art. Fortunately we have this excellent art thread.... Hope you'll enjoy being here!

This is quite embarrassing as I have been around the commentariat and the forums for a while now but didn't find this place for a long time. Soooooo, just like the party guest which has hung around your yard and your kitchen and your living room chatting up your guests until someone actually asks "Who is that strange woman?" I think I have to make an introduction at last.

Hiya, I'm Talimee. *waves* I'm 37 years old and what is called a long-time-student (which has given me issues, but let's not talk about that). I am interested in many things but cannot hold my interest for long - so I have assembled a hodgepodge of knowledge about arts, history, literature, nature, astronomy, geology, meteorology, archeology, medicine and alternative medicine, theology, politics and so on. Things that elude me are philosophy and music. I don't know why. So you can imagine that in my virtual strolls around here I have already picked up a lot of interesting facts and opinions and I want to thank you all for that.
As for my hobbies: During the last years it was mainly Gaming and Knitting/Crocheting but being around so many great artists and writers here I have found my courage to start writing again (and to a lesser extant: drawing). I have not created anything for years and right now it is an uphill-struggle to produce anything worthwhile but I hope I will become better at it for this. The all-around encouragement of this fandom is very helpful in trying things out. Thank you for that as well. =)

So. That's that out of the way. ^^;
