First

Generally, I'm not a very happy or energetic person. I've got a Finnish "poetry journal", maansaimme, too.

Technical note

If you don't want to use the new (as of June 2004) "quickreply" feature when commenting on someone, please use the admin console as instructed in an lj_support entry.

Contacting me

I use AIM at times. You can leave me a comment in a backdated entry. You need to have a journal to comment, which you can get for free.

Lj-friending

If you want to add me to your friendlist, go ahead. I may add you if you're patient, a week or more may be needed. I must understand most of what you're writing, though. This rules out wildly non-standard English, Swedish and German...

If I add you to my friendlist, that means there's something about your public entries that makes you interesting.

Joule shows past and present Lj friends.

My communities

I'm the maintainer for a community for Suzanne Vega fans, fancy_poultry. I also created finnish for those learning (or wanting to learn) the Finnish language, or those just genenrally interested in it.

Some history

I lived in a very small village in Lapland until I was 20 years old. I had views of low mountains every day, and I still miss Lapland, especially in spring and autumn. I used to walk in the near surroundings there.

I was in the Finnish army in Oulu from 1994-08-22 to 1995-07-17. Then I moved to Jyväskylä, in Central Finland, to study chemistry, and that's what did, officially, until 2003. [Updated 2005-12-01]
