CURRENT MISSION

To have fun without paying

ABOUT ME

One description:
I sit in my room reading a book, poetry or prose, mostly in Swedish but sometimes in French. Then I pick up the guitar and play (and sing) for a while. Then I think about some similarity between words in different indo-european languages that has not occurred to me before and I lose all interest in the outside world for a minute. Later in the evening, I go to some friend's place and we watch a movie. (This is of course a weekday though. In the week-ends I just drink beer like everybody else.)

PHILOSOPHY

Having a philosophy is easy, living a philosophy is really hard.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I could teach people some Swedish, if they are interested. And some French. My limited skills on piano and guitar. As for myself, I am always interested in learning new languages, and practicing the ones that I have studied.
