About me: i like it when a man fiddles with his tie. i dig movies filmed in technicolor and trying to
figure out which flag belongs to which country. i watch musicals and enjoy the flavours and
aromas of wine while wearing pjs. i'm totally neurotic but avoid showing it to other people.
i don't think people wear hats enough, and i'm scared of global warming even though i still
take plastic bags from the supermarket. i indulge myself too often because life is short, and
i sometimes live in my own fantasy world where i make out with gorgeous gay men while sporting
size 2 lowrise gap jeans. i love money but i'm terrible with it and i'm lucky to have a future
husband who'll give me allowances. tea-tasting is awesome, but beer is better, and i'd love to
enjoy others' backyards by imbibing white wine and eating barbequed chicken. i have a jealous
personality. i'm not really afraid of insects, but i'll scream if one flies on me. i love
feeling sexy in heels and dresses, but i'm terrified no one thinks i am. i might've inherited
my grandmother's addictive personality, i might drive people away, i might enjoy smoking on
occasion, i might have too many bad breakups behind me, and i might love the wrong people. but
i'll knock your socks off if you'll let me. if i'll let me.
chapstick. irish accents. making music. globetrotting. the internet. linguistic analysis. books
and photographs. the sound of a male voice on the other end. writing stuff. crying. laughing.
chinese subtitles. british standard spelling. drinking alone. deprivation and luxury. postcards. men who understand
fashion. knowing home in another human being. stuff i'm into.
wind. fireworks during daylight. waking up at the wrong hour. ethnocentrism and ignorance.
people who don't give a shit. guilt. movies with poor cinematography. french orthography. dry
lips. lonely lips. jokes based on ego. crazy stalkers. fast food. anyone lacking in a sense of
humour. gas guzzling vehicles. mixed signals. people afraid to live. stuff i'm not into.
i don't believe in regrets. i do believe in david gray lyrics.

This Is China: A Guidebook for Teachers, Backpackers and Other Lunatics
This new book written by veteran foreign teacher Megan Eaves gives China newbies all the insight and knowhow to live and travel in China, from job hunting to taking public buses, ordering in restaurants and not getting ripped off by recruiters or schools. The book's final chapter is an utterly useful 'Laowai Dictionary' phrasebook.
Who I'd like to meet:
i like irish people, cynics, and those who share my sideways sense of humor.
i would also be interested in meeting expats in china who aren't freaks, johnny depp, and dan wilson.
hey there,is your summer vacation started yet? Any exciting plan? Unbeliveeable, we just had a small tornado here, which took away my ad board in the big wind, :( Leave me a message when you stop by, I will check it when I get a chance. Cheers.
I know it's been so long! Nothing much going on here, just finished school and will finally graduate in the spring! I hope to move to Taiwan to teach english or if that falls through teaching english in China with the ACCE. I hope all is well with you!
