I've been here for 147 days and I've never properly introduced myself. I decided to do my introduction later because I didn't know what to say then, but at the same time I desperately wanted to just jump in and start doing things in Steemit. Like immediately! Then I kinda forgot about the whole thing.
So it's now or never.

Let's start from the be...
... billions of years ago, our Earth was a molten mass. But for some reason, not understood by scientists, the Earth cooled, forming a crust – a hard, igneous shell.
...not that far, but if you can, name the series that quote is from.
I'm from Finland. I was born in Finland and I speak Finnish. At school, as every Finn, I learnt Swedish and I might still remember how to speak it. I also learnt (voluntarily) Deutsch and Français, might remember couple sentences.
I am a very typical introvert Finn with all my omg_there's_people_out_there_I_can't_go_out_what_if_they_speak_to_me -anxieties, but at the same time I'm a hyperactive extrovert trying to make people smile. Every day. Every freaking day. It's a terrible fixation. And as people are so used to me being happy and always trying to say something funny, they almost get panic attacks if I sometimes act like people usually do. Not bouncing allover with my sentences and my mind. Not waving my hands aimlessly as I speak. Oh, but did I already tell you that I like to exaggerate things.
I have no problem with speaking in front of a crowd, although I usually like to avoid crowds. I'm not the first one to jump out if someone asks volunteers to lead other people, but if no-one steps up, I have no problem leading people as I can also be the person who says: "Just say that it was my idea 'cause they probably hate me anyway and I don't care." But only if I feel like it because I think people who can't function without someone telling them how or when to do simple things, are extremely irritating. As are those who always question everything and in doing so accomplish nothing else than shear anger and murdering thoughts towards themselves. I can't stand grown ups who act like a three year old.
As a child I constantly heard: "Don't shout, don't run, who broke this, it was you wasn't it, stay still for a while, do as you're told, don't question the authorities, things are done like this because they just are." Usually, it was me. I broke it. It's not easy if you're a child with the energy to just run and climb and tons of "great" ideas but not the brains to think about it once, let alone twice. As I grew and brains plus couple of thoughts stuck with me, as a teenager it was me who usually took the first step and said: "This is not fair, you can't do that." And when I was thinking what to do when I grow up, I thought that I could be a police officer or I could run away with the circus and be a clown. (See the similarity in these professions...) But as I realized the fact that "I can't stand grown ups who act like a three year old", I realized that I would burn myself out as a police officer.
So I became an entrepreneur and a freelancer. If i brake it, i fix it and everything is always my fault. My doing, my responsibility. I can take it. I don't have to jump or smile when someone else says so.
Insaneworks is a hobby. It's a mixture of anything and everything what I want to do. I love photographing (especially macro photography), photoshoping, illustrations, mixing different art forms, exploring places, traveling and wondering about things. Sometimes I paint, sometimes I write. Sometimes I have an idea and I just have to execute it, even if I know that it has little or no purpose. It's not an answer to anyone's problem and no-one needs it. So rather than asking why should I do it, I just shroud my shoulders and say to myself: "Why not!" And I am a music addict.
I liked Steemit immediately I found it. Although it's not perfect (nothing ever is), the idea is awesome! So I hope in the future it's going to be even better. 147 days is an excellent accomplishment for someone who is as impulsive as I am. Always searching new things to keep myself busy and entertained. So far Steemit has delivered. Or should I say, Steemit has so much possibilities to offer that because of it, I got ideas I would not otherwise had. So I let things escalate as I know that's the best way for me to do things. I wanted to write in Finnish so I created @jokinmenipieleen. And I started @worksinsane because I got an idea of a website that searches quality posts. (A mighty task, I know, as no-one has yet found out how to make a code that thinks like humans do. A true AI.) So I'm telling people that it's an art project. ...as it really is an art project!
So here I am. With my impatient mind and irrational thoughts. At the same time impulsive but persistent personality. Catatonically hyperactive, introvert core inside an extrovert skin. I'm a nerd with my affection to Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica but then again a person who has no problem dancing with strangers in the streets. And I really like pretty flowers.
