I am a librarian in Dubai who lives for her vacations. I like boys who can spell and form coherent sentences. Chances are if u write like this 2 me, I probably won't answer u.

Prior to living in this urban wasteland on the desert, I lived in Vancouver. Spent most of life there although I did spend the first 10 years of my life in Japan and Taiwan. I don't like it when people ask me where I am from. It's too complicated especially when you want to know where I am "originally" from.

An ideal afternoon for me is to hang out in used bookstores, have coffee, look at people, maybe have some sushi. I also enjoy lying on the beach half cut as an afternoon past time.

Living and working as a librarian in Dubai.

Getting used to this weird Sunday to Thursday work week.

Getting mad at people who cut in front of me in the taxi queue and use their children as an excuse when I yell at them.

Going on adventures in different parts of the world.

Scrabble!

Spending money I don't really have, Talking to random strangers, Throwing good punches, Making a mean Caeser, Scooping ice cream, Finding stuff that you can't find, Putting things in neat little piles, Plotting escape plans, Over-analyzing, Making a fool of myself... Wow, look at all the things I am good at.

Apparently, I talk and walk very quickly...

How badly I want to watch "Where the Wild Things Are" and "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". I probably will never catch them in theaters because I am stuck in this stupid sandpit.
