Hannah can often be found in dirty cafes behind piles of newspapers, books and magazines, where she ponders:

LUST:
Predominantly for stories.  Travel.  Sunshine.  Open roads with the appropriate soundtrack.  As a graduate student in literature at the University of Alberta, Hannah was too excited about the world around her to sit still in her office.  When she had the opportunity to live and work in Germany, she packed her bags and moved to Dresden.  During the next two years, she became obsessed with design in Copenhagen, ate pickled cheese in Bohemia, took her first steps into the sea in Turkey, fell in love with fall in Paris, survived heat stroke in Madrid, and fumbled linguistically through Budapest. Her fascination with the stories people tell threw her headfirst into the field of journalism, and she has never looked back.

SLOTH:
Hannah spent a dreamy childhood in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, where she could often be found lying in a field of grass with her tape recorder.  With an active imagination and an odd interest in documenting sounds, pictures, and words, Hannah has been spinning tales since she first learned to speak. Not all of them were true. She also enjoyed talking to strangers. Her mother often worried.

GLUTTONY: 
Books (is usually reading more than one at a time)
Music (old and new)
Radio (only thing she turns on the before the coffee machine in the morning)
Scrabble (founding member of the Dresden English Scrabble League – a group small in number but big on passion)
Food (all the food, all the time)

GREED:  
For good design, interesting conversation, and getting to the bottom of things. Sniffing out mysteries and uncovering secrets.

WRATH: 
Inspired by people who jump to conclusions.  Largely tries to avoid it by taking deep breaths when cycling and counting to ten. 

ENVY: 
Hannah often wishes she could be more like her one-year-old nephew, Pryor, who frequently falls down but never stops smiling.

PRIDE: 
Can open a bank account in three languages.  Can order coffee in ten.  Almost never scores under 350 in Scrabble. Hannah is most proud of her ability to learn from her mistakes, ask questions (big or small), dive bravely into new languages and cultures, and never stop being curious.
