New to the forum

Hello all.
I'm new to the forum though not so much new to internet boards in general. I'm probably not going to be much of a presence here, not a very vocal one. I just realised this week that my addiction has gotten out of hand again and decided that this time I want to make some sort of a public check in blog to get myself through the first few days, then the first few months and up to the first year.

I'm so grateful that places like this exist. So, thank you for this.

All the nitty gritty details about what I'm trying to kick and all that jazz I'll keep in my blog.
Hope y'all are having the most beautiful Friday.

Hey to both of you! Thank you so much for welcoming me.

Yup, I am Finnish, currently in Finland. Planning on moving on from here in the next year. Have you ever visited?

Oh ya? Well, Europe is a small place.
Awesome to know there's someone in my relative time zone here. How did you enjoy Finland?

I've mostly been in the northern parts, and what I remember most is hordes of mosquitoes. I'm from Norway, BTW.

Oh yeah, I went ahead and read your blog.
Mosquitoes might be the only thing in creation I still haven't figured a good use for. Lapland is practically hording those things.
