Greetings from Finland! (=I'm new!)

[Samis]

Hi y'all!

So, yeah. I'm gonna start this introduction by saying that I googled "gay forums" because I felt that I want to talk with others like myself. If you think it's pathetic, it's ok. It's just that I don't have any gay friends, and there's a lot of stuff I think I can't share with my straight friends. Or maybe I could, but it's not the same. You know?

Anyway, my name is Sami, I'm 24 years old, and I live in Kuopio, Finland. I'm studying to become a classical singing teacher (my voice, I think, is bass-baritone). My passion, however, is to sing, not teach..so I'm hoping to go study music performance, I have an entrance exam in 2 weeks, feel free to wish me luck!

I have no idea what else to say here. I'm not closeted, but I'm not shouting my preferences from the rooftops. (And now I must say that I hope my English isn't too bad. I know it isn't BAAAAD but it could be better. Maybe it'll get better when I'm talking with you nice people

So, I guess that's it. If you have anything to ask or say or whatever, bring it on. I'm ready...I think. I'm happy to finally be among my kind.

Hi and Welcome :-)

Welcome to the forum, and you're not pathetic :p; we would be pretty judgmental to consider it such since we're all here too.

Your English is great too, I wish my French were comparable and I've studied that language for years.

Welcome man!!

Hello and welcome

I would not have known that English is not your first language from your introduction.

Good luck with the entrance audition. That is a tough path you have chosen, so I wish you all the best for your chosen career.

Welcome, and don't worry a bit about being perceived as pathetic.

You want to know what is really pathetic, me welcoming you with this:
