Hi, so, I'm Cati, and I started reading SSSS last week and yesterday I caught up all the way and now I'm here. I deeply love essentially absolutely everything about aRTD. SSSS is more, like, scary so it took a while to talk myself into reading it, but with all the language stuff and magic-working and amazing lovely characters (ok, so my favourites don't all have conventionally lovely personalities) it was really inevitable.

And thanks to jmf, Nimphy, and kjeks for already welcoming me and pointing me over to this thread!

Hmm. I'm 25, currently live in USA/Pennsylvania, student (linguistics), hopelessly flaky, have a great liking for dogs and dance and delicious fruit?

Ohh linguistics you say! You might like The Language Board then. As you got the cookies already, here is some *blankets* and some *bubblewrap*. Beware, people might want to steal the precious bubblewrap!

Hi! Call me Q.

I'm not sure how active I'll be over here, I haven't used a forum in ages... But I wanted to register to be able to keep better track of forum posts - there's a lot of threads I'll be wanting to comb through in the near future! (...I realized this after already reading through the entire fanart thread and needing to know where I stopped off.) I found out about SSSS through friends talking about it, read it all in one night a couple weeks ago, and now I'm a little in love.

Besides that - I'm 23, American, my main interests are things like history, art history, geography, linguistics, planning, architecture, identity, and so on; I've fallen into a major special interest hole with the Nordic countries in general over the past year, too, so that's certainly part of the reason for SSSS's appeal! (My other significant fandom is Hetalia. Quite a different way of looking at the same areas, that's for sure.)

I like cats and coffee. I'm working on learning Norwegian but I'm slow.

Can I just, er, repost this? I'd like to try to stick around here this time. (1) I've been feeling socially disconnected lately and I'd like to meet people (2) It might be helpful to me to have an external reminder to read the comic more than once per ten days.

I'm still me, but I'm 24 now.

Do you mean my constant flailing about it on twitter/tumblr/DW isn't enough of a reminder? ;p
They're a lovely bunch here, so hopefully you'll stick around. < 3

Ah, memories ...

I... I... I am speechless. I am without speech.

I can only retaliate by throwing up some Split Enz and running away.
