Hi everyone!

I'm Laowai. My Chinese speaking friends might recognize that as the Chinese word for "foreigner." I am a 24-year-old lady and have studied Chinese for over half my life now. I am also learning Portuguese and German just for funsies. (Sometimes French, but only when I'm feeling particularly masochistic)

I'm originally from Minnesota, but, shamefully, I am one of the few Minnesotans who has absolutely no claim to any Scandinavian heritage. I've also lived in China and Turkey, pacific northwest, and the smack-dab middle of nowhere.

I studied international studies at university and was a member of AIESEC. Any of you guys in university or soon to be absolutely must check to see if your school/city has an AIESEC chapter and join up! It's great!

I experience wander-lust to the nth degree. If I didn't have to worry about money, I would travel the world, going wherever my next whim takes me.

Unfortunately I am a cliched unemployed/underemployed recent graduate who is completely disillusioned with the system and the people who made it.

I love web comics, and found SSSS through an ad. I've never commented any comics before though and I've never joined  any sort of forum before in my life, so this is all new to me.

Hi, Laowai!  Welcome to the club -- both of SSSS fans, and of people like me who never used to hang out in online forums.... till now.  You'll find we're a friendly bunch, even when debating the pros and cons of nuclear warheads as a Cleansing tool, or who you 'ship with whom. 

We encourage people to roam around freely and share their interests.  In particular, you may enjoy the language forums (though unfortunately, I don't think we have many posts re: Chinese yet).

See you around!

It's from Girly by Josh Lesnick.  Its the very first web comic I ever read and it made me fall in love with web comics. I still cry at the ending to this very day.

I truly understand how you feel.  Also seems like your Chinese friends liked you, I'm more used to being called "gweilo" .

Don't worry about being new to forums, you get the hang of them pretty quickly, spend enough time on them and you won't need any of the editing buttons, you'll know the code to put in from heart .

I don't think I ever introduced myself, so here goes

I'm a Finnish girlie, around Lalli's age, I'm also one of the folk who found SSSS through that language tree post (and that comparison chart between Finnish and Scandinavian languages), I saw it on tumblr and thought, oh wow someone's actually making a comic involving Finnish people, so I went to check it out and here I am a couple of months later, completely hooked. Mostly I just lurk in here and the in comic's comment section, although I do comment every once in a while.

Currently studying Business IT, even though my dream job will forever be an art teacher or graphic designer(or a librarian), IT kinda grew on me since I spend my days as a tech support -person to my family and friends. I will definitely take some courses in arts and crafts sometime in my life tho

I'm not exactly outdoorsy but during summer I like to wonder around in the forests and barley fields near my house, I live on the countryside(Southern Finland). Otherwise I spend my time reading fanfiction, writing ficlets I almost never publish aand drawing random things with mah tablet. And of course, hang around in here. English language comes rather easily to me, Swedish I can muddle through if you use simple words also studied some French and Japanese during junior high, but nowadays I remember almost nothing of either of those. Btw if someone here ever wants to learn Finnish, I'd be happy to teach some words and basic sentences and stuff like that.

Dunno what else to say, so feel free to ask me anything

You could always hold the cookie shower yourself, DzigaWatt

I have been tasked with providing these customary cookies for you

Are you in the south? I never heard anything that bad myself. Apparently though, when I visited the first time with my high school class, my teacher kept getting called "da bizi" (big nose).

[Koeshi]

Never actually lived there, but knew a Chinese guy at school that called me that, or "say-gweilo" if he was in a bad mood .

Nah, I'm more like the mansion Alfred, so I leave the bat-cave Alfred business to you
