Hello, all! Finland reporting in!
Ah, wow, information about me. Let's see...
When I'm not pretending to be a country, I'm actually an American university sophomore. My major is Language and International Health with a concentration in Healthcare Administration. [It's really not as bad as it sounds. Really.] Basically, that means I'm studying Spanish and public health.
Outside of schoolI don't have a life my interests include riflery, drawing, writing, and - of course - anything foreign. I'm on my school's air rifle team, which is awesome. Right about the time you're feeling stressed out over term papers you can go shoot something, which is just great. [Errr, that came out really creepy. Oh, look, a distraction...]
I have a dA account under the name 'katlick' and I fill requests for free, but I'm so tied down with classes right now that it's hard to find time to submit new art. However, if you want to request something, feel free. I will get it done as soon as possible. [/end advertisement]
So how did I get into Hetalia? I'd like to say I was this hardcore history nerd who happened to stumble upon it while searching key terms for a report, but my story's not so glamorous. Honestly, I was trawling 4chan one day and happened to find this picture of some guy holding an American flag and looking all boss. You can guess who said guy was. I looked through the thread a little and saw that he was from crazy series called 'Hetalia' where everyone was a place, or something. Three years later and that brings us here.
But why Finland? Because Finland is downright badass. At some point last year, I developed this sick obsession with the country. Its language, its history, and especially its music intrigue me to no end. My iPod is filled with Apulanta, Happoradio, Hausmylly, Teleks, etc.
So, a few other facts about me that are somewhat Hetalia/history/nationality related:
- My favorite Hetalia characters are Finland [obviously], Prussia, Sweden, America, Germany, England, and Denmark.
- My least favorite are... Hm... I don't really have a character that I just dislike. There are some that are just sorta there that I don't care about one way or the other. Most of the Asians and Canada are this way for me [no offense to anyone, or nothin'!]
- English is my mother tongue, of course, and I'm fairly fluent in Spanish. I can also understand a great deal of French, German, Italian, and Dutch, but I can't speak them. Currently, I'm teaching myself Finnish and Danish.
- On my dad's side, I'm Prussian-German-Dutch. On my mom's side, I'm Scotts-Irish.
- Outside of the US, I've been to England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland.
- My favorite historical figure is Simo Hayha, a Finnish sniper [whom I reference way too often]. We're both 5'1" and into marksmanship.SEE THE RELATIONSHIP?!
- The languages on my iPod include English, French, German, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Estonian, Turkish, Italian, Japanese, and Russian.
- I've eaten horse in Germany. I'm not gonna lie- it was really good. In my defense, I didn't know it wasn't beef at the time.
...Oh, man, I didn't mean to write that much. It makes me seem like I'm really into myself. No one wants to read all that. I apologize!
Anyway, nice to be a part of your community! I look forward to meeting you all and getting into some RPs!
Moi moi!
