I hate to say it, but those three words do describe me well. I like making people happy, love kids and I'm probably the kind of girl your mom will love.

Actually, that might not necessarily be true. The truth of matter is your mom might not be the type of mom who would like me, however if you are the type of person who I think I would like, then there would be a higher percentage chance that your mom would be the type of mom who would like me.

I'm a UC Berkeley graduate twice!
First time: Double-major in psychology and geography, minor in education.
Second time: MA in Elementary Education

I love being cheerful on rainy days, splashing in puddles and smiling at and talking to strangers on the streets. I like to see others smiling. I'm very good with first impressions I think, but I always get nervous and anxious about meeting someone for the second time.

I have the world's cutest giant of a kitty, Maxwell. I have 5 siblings, older and younger, boys and girls and they are wonderful.

I like the outdoors, sports, sunshine, rolling in the grass, especially when it's not muddy.

And food, boy do I love food. I love cooking and eating. Yum yum! Pho on a rainy day, dim sum on sunday mornings, mash potatoes and gravy.

I've been described as random, as quirky, as strange, as scattered brained and also inappropriate. I tease but in good humor and I am obsessed with the idea of being considerate. On the road, parking and in everyday life.

I try hard to be conscious of the things I say, do and how it makes others feel. I try not to have have fun at the expense of others. I think life is short enough, I hope I can be a worthwhile addition to the lives of those who let me share any bit of it.

"I am working on become a teacher, its my life's dream."

In fact, I graduated from a grad school program for teacher's education at UC Berkeley and I'm now working as an elementary school teacher in Fremont!

overanalyzing things.

I'm pretty good at: cooking, tennis, painting, cartography, making stuff (of wood, paper, popsicle sticks... clay etc), and breaking electronic things temporarily

I suck at but love to: billiards, sing in my car, swim, fix stuff...

That my eyes are closed, but they are actually not. I'm just smiling.

I smile a lot, people seem to note that. I think I have a big smile, further I think I have pretty straight teeth. I also look incredibly happy, I usually am.

Some of you might have first noticed that I look strangely familiar, like another girl you saw on okcupid but older and more articulate.

Sirens of Titan (I love Vonnegut), Enders game, Fox in Socks, Larry Gonicks' cartoon guides...

Win a date with Tad Hamilton (I'm a big cheeseball), Annie Hall, Fight club

Love songs, rock, Karaoke music!

Soup. Yum.

1. Faith in life 2. Faith in love 3. Family 4. Friends 5. Food 6. Finding ways to make the mundane interesting

1. My personality.

2. Also how we communicate and relate with one another.

3. The environment

4. How children learn.

5. Things similar to: If the fact that guys claim that men other than themselves do not wash their hands after they use the restroom indicates that most people are lying to me, or that I only befriend people who are hygienic.

My typical Friday nights consists of me cooking up fancy meals for myself, cleaning my room, and watching a movie. Occasionally I will do some of these things in the world outside my apartment.

I feel funny about handling raw chicken.

You want to talk to me! :0)

Also people who would like join me in:
1. playing tennis
2. eating raw oysters
3. volunteering!
4. other fun activities.
