About me...

My full name is Mika Petteri Rissanen, called just Mika. I was born 12th of January 1978 in Nurmes, Eastern Finland. Anyway I've lived most of my life in Valtimo, near there, and now I have been over two year staying in Jyväskylä , studying Latin in University of Jyväskylä.

I have blue eyes, middle brown hair, 177cm height. So, I'm studying Latin here.. But I'm doing also everything else... Football, Orienteering, Jogging, Badminton, Wandering, Cross country skiing, Bicycling, Playing guitar (hmmm... not as much anymore, my kitten broke my guitar few months ago), Listening music, Drawing, Reading comics and novels, Writing email, Hanging in IRCnet(Only occasionally nowadays, but my nick is Padraig, usually.. If you can't find me on #ireland , I'm probably not in irc that time), Studying Irish and Polish, even programming a bit... There are some links on my links page , if you want to have a closer look of some of those interests.

About my family.. I'm the only child. My father, Pentti, is shopkeeper and my mother, Leena, has been working as a saleswoman. My girlfriend, Maarit is also from Valtimo, now she's studying psychology in Jyväskylä. We have also a lovely cattie, Hannibal, who's born in April 1998.
