liljan98 | Origin
liljan means "(the) lily" in Swedish. According to many sources my rather ordinary real name is derived from the hebrew word for lily. In 1997/1998 I spent my semester abroad in Stockholm, where I started to get into this whole "internet thing" and was in need of a suitable nickname. I have used that one ever since...Outlander Chronicles 2013

Did anyone think this challenge wa a crazy idea? Well, so did I every once in a while today. But crazy doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing, right ? It was fun in its very own way. I didn’t think … Continue reading
