Hey there!
I'm june (real name's Tuula), the newest addition to the Finnish mob here. I've registered over two years ago and been lurking on and off for a good while. I said in last night's freakout thread that I needed a way to maintain my tour high and I figured I needed to join the freakouts to help me with that. I think I've registered on all of the major Tori forums, but ended up becoming active just here because, tbh, this seems like the most approachable one. Plus, there are some familiar peeps from our Finnish forum here already. ;D
I suck at telling about myself in introductions like this, but I guess I could write a little about my Tori history. The very first time I ever heard Tori was back in the UTP days when I was about 15 and saw the CFG video - I liked the song but didn't buy the album or anything. A couple of years later I heard CALS, liked that too, but didn't end up buying BFP yet either. It wasn't until in the 2000's that I really became a fan. I'd been meaning to get me some Tori albums for a long time, and one time in a record store I just decided on a whim that NOW I'm finally buying one. I have no idea what made me pick up Choirgirl first (instead of e.g. UTP that includes CFG, or BFP w/ CALS), but Choirgirl was my choice although, as far as I could remember, I hadn't heard any of the songs before. It was love at first listening and the beginning of a beautiful frien.. um.. addiction. On the ADP tour I finally also saw her live for the first time (in Berlin), and now I've been to three shows on this tour (London - London - Oslo). And loved each gig to bits.
I guess that's about enough babbling for now. I'm sure I'll enjoy being here!
