I'm never good with the introductions, so I doubt Ill impress anyone with mine. Just your regular girl trying to write a book about this not so-weird-anymore theory I have that life is never ending. Hope you all enjoy it... well, whenever I do post it. I'm not very aggressive; it will take me some time to work up the courage.

My favorite author is Albert Camus. More because of his philosophy and ideas of life, than because I have read and liked all his works. I haven't.
I have only read The Stranger, which is the novel that won him the Noble Prize of literature. If you are interested in dark stories that tackles the scariest part of our conscience, then I recommend this book. :)
Some of his quotes, that make my mind wonder about my way of life:
“The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.”
“Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.”
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”
“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”
“I would rather live my life as if there is a god and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.”
“There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.”
--- all quotes by Albert Camus.
