Who am I?

You don't really want to know, do you?

What you want to know is:
What to expect from this blog?
Well, I'm afraid it's easier for me to tell you what not to expect from me or my blog:
Anything deep and meaningful!

No really, don't bother looking for either hidden messages or enlightening tidbits of wisdom because I don't do neither.

Favourite Quotes

quotes Gerd likes


"When someone doesn't show up, the people who wait sometimes tell stories about what might have happened and come to half believe the desertion, the abduction, the accident. Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don't--and it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown. Perhaps fantasy is what you fill up maps with rather than saying that they too contain the unknown."— Rebecca Solnit
