What to say, what to say... I'm originally from Hawaii. Born on Oahu and raised on the Big Island, I now live my life in northern California. I am a social worker working with the Developmentally Disabled.

I am compassionate, intellectual, and dorky

Hiking every spare moment!!! I've been working on finding a balance between work and fun for longer than I care to think about and now I have found it. I work mornings, evenings and nights, which allows me to go out and explore this world I love.

listening, helping others

I'm not other people, so I don't have a clue.

I love the Sci-Fi classics. Dune, Starship Troopers, Enders Game are among my favorites. Best book of all time, in my not so humble opinion, is "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran, a book of philosophy and about as far from Sci-Fi as you can get though. *lol* As for movies, I don't watch many, as I would much rather be reading. TV... I can watch pretty much anything, tho I usually stick to quasi-educational programs on TLC/Discovery/History Channel. Music is a smorgasborg of different genres. Currently I'm in a Hard Rock/Emo/Pop phase. Food... is good. ;) I love sushi, Thai and asian food in general.

I am very unmaterialistic, I really think I could do without almost anything. If I had to come up with a list...
1. A good book
2. A second good book
(repeat 4 more times)

I don't have a "typical" friday night.

... you want to! I reply to everyone at least once. =) I do believe in being polite in nearly all circumstances.
