Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ear! Or don’t that’s totally fine too 🙂
Okie dokie folks, it’s nice to meet you, welcome to the family! My name is Alaina. To start, I was born and raised in a tiny town in southern Ontario. I am a 3rd and 4th generation Asian Canadian/American, which means I tan, watch hockey games, eat poutine, and a toque, leggings and a plaid flannel is my outfit of choice. Now before you say I am an uncultured squamby I do a lot of the stereotypical asian stuff. Chinese food is still my favourite kind of cuisine. I ingest far to much boba although I am lactose intolerant. I played the piano for 8 years and am currently studying dentistry. Now if that doesn’t get me my AZN card I don’t know what will.
So enough about my heritage. Things that make me, me are my love for Jesus Christ, food, music, fandom, and storytelling. I was the kid that got mini obsessions over everything. Astronomy, Paleontology, Forensic Anthropology, the freaking Sound of Music. I loved it all. I still love it all. The fandoms I follow are kind of all over the place. I like the big ones ie. Harry Potter, Marvel and Lord of the Rings. I like the lesser knowns, like Orphan Black and Chuck, and then I have recently fallen into the world of anime and seen Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, but that’s about it. Now, my real love is the Bachelor… nah I’m just kidding. My real love is writing. As you can probably deduce from this crazy long post. Now, what got me into writing? You guessed it… reading, but I got into reading late by society standards. I started being a bookworm the summer before grade nine. When reading was not supposed to be cool. To say I was hooked would be an understatement. I’ve been reading ever since and have fallen in love with storytelling. I’m currently writing a series in my spare time and it is so much fun! I’ll tell you all more later 😉
So, currently my life has taken a turn. Not the spiral out of control kind, nor the world is rainbows kind. As I said before I am currently studying dentistry, but where you might ask is this dental school? Think far, then think farther. I’m from the East Coast of Canada keep in mind. My dental school is in drum roll please …. Brisbane, Australia. That’s right I am across the freaking planet! Have I had a couple mini sad attacks from homesickness? Yes. Have I made some awesome friends and had some crazy life experiences though? You bet I have. Now, living alone far away in a completely different country is unlike anything I have ever experienced and that is why I have this website. To work as a brain dump for all my creative thoughts and to be an official hub for my novels.
Still with me? Okay, if you are, you’re definitely family, because I’m sure only people that know me would read this far.
So, welcome and join me on this adventure. I’m glad to have you on this ride 🙂
