About Me

One day you will call me Dr. I occasionally sit and stare at walls. I like to bleach things. I don't like phones. I like to communicate by typing. I am a recovering control freak. I need to sleep more than 8 hours to function normally. I like eggs, avocados, cheese, sushi, and chocolate. I'm Canadian.

My Interests

Lounging, marathon sleeping, looking for good restaurants, snow boarding, golf, gymnastics, traveling, reading, writing, research, public speaking, promoting fair and 3-dimensional portrayal of Asians in media.

I'd like to meet:

People who prefer Friendster or LinkedIn. Why? Because MySpace doesn't put my data in chronological order and Simon Fraser University in Canada is not listed which is lame.Who else I'd like to meet? Sane, educated, interesting, non-creepy Seattlites over 30 (ok 25 if you have a graduate degree because I'm a snob. Sarah S. is my only exception).

Movies:

Better Luck Tomorrow, The Motel!!, Harold and Kumar, Bowling for Columbine, South Park The Movie, Groove, The Shawshank Redemption

Television:
