Stuff that makes me happy: funky music with a beat you can dance to, anything in pie form, Louis C.K., dark and strong coffee, geeky girls, old John Cusack movies.

And YOU. I like you best of all.

I am so fortunate to be able to work for an awesome science museum, helping teens engage with science and sustainability and create cool stuff. I love my job!

On my off hours, I co-host an internet talk show on dance and dance in a fusion hip-hop dance crew.

I recently just bought a scooter, which is making me blissfully happy.

Moonwalking, giving footrubs, listening, not sweating the small stuff.

I try to be bullshit-free and loving to all people. Even the asshole-y and obnoxious ones. And the small, whiney ones. And the Tea Party ones who don't believe in science. It's a work-in-progress.

How I match my casio calculator watch to whatever outfit I'm wearing.

And how I'm a lot older than I look (and act).

Recent Books: Parker: The Hunter (graphic novel), The Night Circus, Ready Player One, Kill the Dead.

Recent Movies: Cloud Atlas, Django Unchained, Looper.

TV: BBC's Sherlock Holmes and Game of Thrones.

Food: Fusion and traditional Asian is my go-to, but I love nearly anything well made and interesting.

Music: Swing and gypsy jazz, hip-hop and horrible pop music. Even that "Call Me Maybe" song.

Dancing: I love to lindy hop, charleston, most flavors of hip-hop and just goofing around on the dancefloor, particularly to live music. I perform regularly with a local "fusion" hip-hop crew in the Bay.

Friday is not a big going out night for me, since I am often out on Wednesdays and Thursdays. So Friday is typically all about catching up on TV, movies, and reading or mellow dinners with friends or my sis.

There are many private things that I'm happy to admit.
I cried watching "Free Willy" on a plane... with the sound off.
I'm addicted to crappy TV crime procedurals.
I'm afraid of the ocean, but I love boats.

You want to explore the Bay with someone.

You want to go on a foodie adventure someplace.

You want to do cheesy tourist stuff.

You are looking for a friend that might turn into something more.
