I am a single mother of two and a victim/survivor of domestic violence.
I have my Bachelors degree in Psychology and I am a Veterinarian (small animals and exotics - emergency and critical care).
I am the Team Leader of WB Records Official HIM Illinois Street Team. I am also the State of Illinois Team Leader for the Street Team Network Inc.
HIM fans are unique, just like the band itself. A strange and wonderful mutation; atypical and unique. We come from all walks of life, all ages, shapes and colors. We are children of the Heartagram - brought together by our love for the words, music and electric chemistry - generated by five incredible men from Helsinki, Finland - who coined the term "Love Metal" to describe the genre of music they play.
Lead by reluctant front man, Ville Hermanni Valo, who also writes all of the band's lyrics and music, these five musicians come together collectively under the name "HIM".
The band spotlights the master talents of :
Mikko Henrick Julius Paananen ~ Mige Amour ~ Base
Mika Kristian Karppinen ~ Gas Lipstick ~ Drums
Mikko Viljami Lindstrom ~ Linde Lindstrom ~ Guitar
Janne Johannes Purttinen ~ Burton Emmerson ~ Keyboards

YOU CAN ALSO FIND HIM'S PARATIISI ON THE FOLLOWING SOCIAL NETWORKS:
1. PLEASE, RESPECT everyone who uses this site. Also, RESPECT the PRIVATE lives of the band and myself. Do NOT send me PERSONAL questions regarding the above mentioned people.
2. Please, know that if I don't respond to your comments or messages right away, it is not that I have ignored or forgotten you. With a membership of over 7,400 friends and fans (on Myspace alone), it may take me a little over a day to send you a response. I do my very best to return your messages as soon as I read them, and usually do :)
3. I don't mind sharing banners, photos, blogs or bulletins. I do ask however that if you "borrow" things from our site, that you give us credit somewhere. Everyone works very hard putting their pages and albums together and should be acknowledged for it. I always make sure to say thanks to those that have been kind enough to lend us items for use here.
4. Ville, Mige, Linde and Burton profiles on our team site, are run BY FANS only.
5. Please Note:
When you join a street team it is not guaranteed that you will meet the band, so please don't join if that is your only intention.
Only Official Street Teamers (the ones who signed up on the Heartagram Team and boards) who are active and promote, will get the chance to attend meet and greets.
Street Teamers:
-You MUST promote and be active.
-When promoting the band, always remember to take pictures.
-You must communicate with me.
-Anyone found to be selling HIM promotional material on sites such as E-Bay will be deleted and blocked from the team and possibly Heartagram.com as well. Please refrain from buying promotional material on these sites. They are given free for promoting HIM to working team members only and are to be used for that purpose.
6. FINALLY, VILLE DOES NOT HAVE A MYSPACE PAGE!!
