Sigh Uh, hello.

1. How'd you find the Freethought Forum?

Google.

2. Are you a member of any other online forums? Which?

Punk in Finland, the slogan's "There was no problem like this in the USSR"
Punk in Finland • Index page

3. How do you feel about smilies (emoticons)?

That's why I registered, in fact.:intro:

4. How do you feel about 3500+ smilies?

Brilliant.

5. Is flaming:
A. Hilarious
B. Beneath you
C. Irritating as fuck

All of the above for me. I don't know why but I tend to respond to all things horrible with laughter while howling "Noooo"

6. Is vulgar language:
A. Hilarious
B. Beneath you
C. Irritating as fuck

I love to say "ssshit" a lot. I'm not really a fan of the church boat, the eyelash pie, the banana, the fipple flute and whatever they are. NO. Even if I can't control them floating into my mind all the time doesn't mean I can't control my mouth.

7. Why did the chicken cross the road?

Whaat?

8. Who pays for your food?

Taxpayers.

9. What's one thing you've always wanted to do but never have?

I have never bought a new shower spray and installed a water-color badge beneath it because the shower spray we are using now won't open and I need that to happen so I can get back at my roommate for putting macaronis under the toilet seat.

10. What is your single favorite place in the world?

My childhood home in the country side.

11. What's the significance of your username?

It's a flower. I like nature and trekking and tents and ssshit.

12. What about your avatar?

It just looked nice. Everything needn't to be that meaningful.

13. Other things I need to tell you.

Immediately after I found myself in this forum I realized how crappy I was in English. Seriously, crappy. * I usually read one of the posts and then rush to look up some new word from the dictionary before stitching the whole picture together. I come across English texts every day, have to read it while studying and I hear the language every day. But it's been years since I had to actually study the language, I indulge myself,... although I studied it for about 15 years. Avoiding the embarrassment I have reached a conclusion to this story and it's this: the forum has just many bright people who happen to have a rather large vocabulary. I have nothing to be ashamed of. Get out!

14. Some facts

I come from Fennoscandia, that part of it where all the hill-billies live and I'm moving this summer to the part where all the skinheads live. Actually, I have seen neonatzis only in Tikkurila but that may be because I have never been in Joensuu. We have our own "southern" dialect called Savo which I speak fluently and proudly and got notified about when I lived in Helsinki. I think it gets you a bit of bad reputation but some gentleman I dated preferred to say it sets the pace nicely.

[*] Actually, I found out I was very crappy in English in Mugglenet's chat room where they politely pointed out I was definitely not native English speaking person. They said it was obvious as soon as I wrote 'the Pottermore'. I still don't know how that was wrong.

To me too. I wouldn't have guessed it wasn't your native language. I think it's extremely cool that you're fluent in your regional dialect. I used to be able to speak a northern Italian dialect but I was five when we moved so sadly I've forgotten it all. :sadcheer:

That whole shower-watercolour-macaroni-toilet thing sounds fabulous. No idea what it means, but I hope you get to do it someday.

And welcome!

Hi - I'm the newest noob before you and so far they don't bite, aren't very scary and there isn't a hazing.

Not yet, anyway :).

Mamma mia. Doolmio Boologneese. I'm veery soorry to hear that. I've played far too much Assasin's Creed to know how that actually sounds like. I can ony imagine a kid in a suit asking for lunch money, and that is distressing.

Those are pranks. I plan to do some before I leave as a common courtesy towards my roommate, not as a vengeance. Any other suggestions are welcome. I haven't had that many ideas yet. :sadcheer: One was to use some chemicals to color her urine red, because she is terrified of doctors, but that might go too far.

Hey everyone, it's ChristinaM's turn in the barrel.

Welcome to the place Saxatilis, I'll let you decide what kind of a place it is.

Your English is OK so far, but I didn't figure out where you were from, till you mentioned Helsinki, I'm not that good at political geography.
