"I'm a newbie lol"
I’ve never posted a thread to a newbie-sub forum, ever. I’ve never felt the need to step up and say: “I’m a newbie!”
Always thought that to be too embarrassing ([I]adj.[/I] making one feel shy, awkward or ashamed).
Or even too self-absorbed, but the fact is, that people are always mostly interested in themselves. And that’s only healthy. Well, to some extent at least.
With The Cult, I’m making an exception. Probably because this place is filled with, um, eccentric people. And that’s perfectly fine with me. I’ve got my problems, my issues with myself and people around me, and a problem I believe many us here share, a problem with writing.
My story about getting interested in Palahniuk’s work, isn’t special. It’s the usual way, happened just like with 90% of us: I saw Fight Club, loved it, later on met a family member/friend/other (read: boyfriend) who had loads of Palahniuk’s novels. So I bought one myself and that’s how it started.
I’ve read Survivor and Choke in Finnish, and now I’m reading Haunted in English. Diary and Fight Club are on the shelf waiting. I have to admit that during those maybe two weeks when I read Choke and Survivor I was overwhelmed by the writing and the stories, so I was pretty much “high” all the time. That’s what good writing does to people. That’s something that writers really should try to achieve.
That’s enough shit for one night. There's just one more thing: Hello.
Hello and Welcome Fellow European
Great intro
Hope to see more of you here.
So [i]that's[/i] what embarrassing means.
Welcome.
hey, pull up a chair there's tea and biscuits on the side.
Hi I guess.
Hi Eyeball Kid! I like your name. So you live in Finland, that's cool. Do you ever go to Sweden? I'm Swedish/Scottish and have relatives in Sewden whom I would love to meet.
Anyway, enjoy your stay here at the Cult.

i was born in finland! now we have to be friends forever!
i wish i culd say something clever in finnish, but all i know is "mita?" and "hauska yoluha". i don't know if i spelled either correctly.
welcome to the cult. its kind of nice here!
Hello again and thanks for the welcomes 
And yes, I would like some tea and biscuits. And especially lobster, never had any.
I've never been to Sweden. And that's odd, since pretty much very Finn has been there. I've only travelled to Vienna. That was last year. Beautiful city.
What's up, dude?
So, are you implying that we're all crazies?
Huh?
HUH?
FUCKING ANSWER ME, GODDAMN YOU!
Welcome.
Crazy? Never!
Just..eccentric. You know, like rich people are.
I once knew a Finnish girl who used to ski down to the pub every Saturday night. Is that a common thing?
Hi. welcome, do catharsis with us!
So when is the world wide suicide?
And why "Eyeball Kid"?
Being a newbie you have to type the answer to that question using your toes only.
Welcome.
And one more thing: Hello.
Okay, YOU can have the lobster. I don't care.
Going to the pub every saturday night is common. But skiing home...never heard anyone do that before 
Eyball Kid is a song by Tom Waits. That's explanation enough. About the World wide suicide, it's happening, and a song by my fav band.
BUT did you type this with your toes?

Yeah, cuz we Swedes are all awesome. (Even if some of us don't live in Sweden)
Welcome!
Normally, I'd make some comment about the fact that you defined the word embarrassing...but you're Finnish...and I have a bizarre fascination with the Finnish...so you are cool in my book and get a free pass on that one. Enjoy your stay!
A Child Of The Eyeball!
The Leningrad Cowboys !
Aki Kaurismaki !

I don't know what famous Finns [I]you[/I] would know. But my favorite Finn is Alexi Laiho, lead guitarist/vocalist for Children of Bodom.
Finland has a ton of awesome bands...Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Sonata Arctica, Norther, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Stratovarius, Nightwish, etc etc etc.
welcome - i'll gladly swap you any US Palahniuk paperbacks for Finnish! have fun here, and you have very good taste: choke and survivor are my favorites
