about me

sipuli (Finnish) /ˈsipuli/ n. onion
Borrowed from Late Old Swedish sipul ("red onion"), sipol, akin to German Zwiebel, ultimately from Late Latin cepulla, diminutive of Latin cepa

i am a 25-year-old creature from finland, going by the name of sipuli. (some people shorten it to "sip", and you can also use the english word "onion", or come up with whatever nickname you'd like - i don't mind.) having recently dropped out of university - i studied finnish language and literature - i'm trying to figure out what to do with my life, and in the meanwhile trying to do my part in making the world a little bit nicer place for everyone.

if you know me from any of my current or previous fandoms, it's probably mcyt/dsmp, but i have a wide range of different interests. currently the things taking up the most space inside my head are tamagotchis, the black butler manga/anime, the vocaloid series parties are for losers (and vocaloids/vocal synths in general), learning mending and other sustainable practices, and of course learning web development. this site is a dump for things that interest me, an art piece to represent me as a person, and an excercise in html and css, which i knew next to nothing about before i opened my first tutorial just a few days before writing this.

i'm also a hobbyist translator! i love linguistics and languages in general, but translation as a science and an art form holds a special place in my heart. i have a folder full of lyrics to finnish songs translated into english, a project i originally started for my german second cousin who's learning finnish, but which will probably find its way here too at some point. i'm also translating one of my all time favorite novels, karkkipäivä by markus nummi, into english, simply for fun and english practice.

if you want to reach me, the best way is probably to message me on either twitter (@sipuli_) or tumblr (@garbageonion)!
