Hello Steemit, let me introduce myself =)

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Well well well, hello everyone. I was invited to this site by my friend @energyaddict22 (you can check him out, his posts are awesome), and I finally got my account confirmed, so let me proceed with my first post, an introduction. It will look like FAQ.

Who are you?
My name is Nikita, I am 23 years old (born on 01/01/1995, my mom had an amazing New Year I think). I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, the most beautiful city in Russia. Now I am living in Kouvola, Finland, where I study International business.
What are your hobbies?
I love poker. I've been playing online for a bit more than 2 years (actually, 6 years but I had breaks) and I stream it on twitch. Last week I finally tried to participate in a live tournament, a real one, not one of those we organize with my fellow students. I played in a casino in Estonia two nights. Btw, my next post is going to be about my live tourney experience in poker.

I am a huge MCU fan. I am literally counting the days until Avengers: Infinity War is released. I was on Tony's side during the Civil war :)

I love online games. I have been playing League of Legends for almost 8 years. I play Hearthstone and I stream it too. I also play a lot of Overwatch.

Music. I've been a Rammstein fan for 13 years, I've seen them live 6 times in three different countries, their live performances are absolutely mind-blowing. Rammstein guitarist and founder is Richard Kruspe, guess where my nickname comes from :)). My other music addictions (and that's a correct word, I'm addicted to music) are Judas Priest, Powerwolf, Iced Earth, Sabaton and a lot of other bands. Rammstein is number one though, my true love =)

TV-shows & movies. Anything Marvel-, Harry Potter-, Lord of the Rings-related. American comedies, such as American Pie (and pretty much everything with Seann William Scott), Eurotrip, etc. Game of Thrones, Breaking bad... There is a huge list of things that I watch.

Sports. Soccer, chess (yes, this is a sport!!!), basketball, which I've played semi-professionally.
And a lot more...
Do you even work?
Kind of :) My current places of work are a summer camp for children where I am a counselor and an English teacher; and the magazine that is published by my university. I have also worked as a journalist for nearly five years, where I mostly wrote about sports. I am, however, especially proud that I worked for Riot Games, the company that made League of Legends.
What are you going to write about?
Probably a lot of things. As a journalist, I have been writing sports reports and movie reviews. So I think I'll have movie reviews here too, I'm planning on doing something MARVELous :). I am also going to post about my passions, such as online games and poker. And occasionally about Finland because I haven't seen many Finns here :)
Stop writing, it's an introduction post, not War and Peace!
Okay! I appreciate that you read it, and I am excited to become a part of this community. Just a couple of things:

  1. If you have any questions about what you've read (Riot Games, Finland, Heartstone, etc.), feel free to ask me anything!
  2. English is not my mother tongue so if you come across any grammar mistakes, I'd appreciate if you let me know so I can correct them :)

Thank you again for reading this, and I'll see you soon (or you'll see me soon lol) in my First Live Poker Tournament article. Bye!
