I'm Rij. I was born in July in 1975, making me 34 years old at the moment, might be more by the time you read this since I might not update. I'm a librarian in real life, currently working in a teenytiny library in the boonies of Finland. I'm a city girl at heart and am looking forward to spending my first winter in the countryside, since I just moved here in the spring. I live alone, am decidedly single and like it that way.

I've been a member here for a long time, I forgot my exact join date, but it has been more than six years and I've been a Brown Aes Sedai for most of that time. I've been to many gatherings in Europe but not so much in recent years because of financial reasons.

I'm a serious bookaholic. Recently I've also discovered manga which was a real addiction for me last winter. I buy more books than I read. I also do some crafts and spend a lot of time online at various forums.

Not only didn't I partake in the guesting process, the other ajahs I considered back then have changed a lot, so the reasons I didn't go with them wouldn't be valid today. The browns have changed too, as have I, but since I've been changing with Brown it doesn't bother me.

===Other Tower Relationships===
  
The ajahs I considered all those years ago were Blue and Red. I decided quite soon that I wouldn't feel at home with the Blues and since I liked the idea of bonding some day the final decision was Brown. Looking back, I can't imagine why I considered anything else other than Brown. Even though I still have a huge Red streak, I am Brown.

I'd love to be an Aes Sedai but chances are I'd be a humble seamstress or something like that.
