Igorrr. Abrasive but brilliant (at least in my assessment).

I have further disgraced myself by pouring Squirt in my gin and tonic this evening. Oh, well. There was barely any gin in there to begin with. It's mostly just tonic water with lime syrup.

I am bringing shame on my family by drinking raspberry lambic (a.k.a. "wussy fruit beer").

Native: English Studying: Icelandic, Faroese, Finnish
I got started with languages when I started learning to read Old Norse out of historical interest. From there I started looking at its closest descendants, Icelandic and Faroese.
I speak Icelandic sort-of-okay now. It's my main focus of study, and the only language I've worked on with another person (a native speaker in my town). I know just enough Faroese to embarrass myself with. I like Faroese because the /r/ sound is easy on my poor English-speaking tongue. I didn't learn to roll my r's until I was eighteen. Before, I would just make this...spitting sound. I still avoid uvular consonants because they're so hard, so no German or French for me.
I am also studying Finnish on the side, but it's more difficult, being out of the Indo-European family. My accent in Finnish right now is somewhere between "oh no" and "do you have a head injury?" But I really like languages with noun declension, for some reason.

Hello. I'm Lilly; I'm 19 and I live in Oregon in the United States. I don't remember when I started listening to Korpiklaani, but fairly recently (since Manala came out). I like all kinds of folk music, neofolk, and folk metal, and I play the violin. I study languages, and I like the songs in Finnish because music helps me time the long and short sounds. My Finnish is horrible right now, but I speak decent Icelandic! I usually don't post on forums because I'm afraid of looking stupid, but I think I already did that when I panicked and picked this username.
