About Me

Ordinary people think the "Great Tao" is actually useless. That everyone thinks it is useless, is proof of how great it is. If it was the kind of thing ordinary people thought was useful, it would have disappeared long ago. - - - - - - - - - - - -If you stand on tiptoe, you'll be unsteady. If you run with long strides you can't keep it up. If you show off, no one will be impressed.-Lao Tzu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Self-righteous people will be disrespected. Self-centred people will be unloved. Glory seekers don't attract followers.-Lao Tzu - - - - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - - -- -- -Nature rarely speaks. A whirlwind doesn't even last a whole morning. A rainstorm starts and ends in a single day.Such things are made by heaven and earth. If heaven and earth can't make a storm last, how can you?-Lao Tzu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Here's what I've been up to. I earned a BA in International Relations at UBC and am currently applying to do a Masters in Library and Information Studies. (Lao Tzu was a Librarian.) For two years I worked as a Librarian in Kyuquot, which is a Reserve on Vancouver Island and where I met my current boyfriend. I also work for an Architect. I know that sounds kinda kool, but its really not. Hmmmm...I live in Edmonton right now. It snowed. Layout Design By - HYPEmyspace.com

I'm into a lot of the popular stuff...but not because it's popular.
