My Self-Summary

Hey everybody, Carissa here. Please be sure to read my profile if you want to meet me!

I grew up in LA, and have been living in the bay area for over 10 years now. I'm a very math-y and analytical person. But I'm also cheerful and not afraid to show you what I'm feeling. I feel like I am pretty good at seeing the two sides to any opinion. I'll keep my description short, as I prefer talking in person. Drop by and say hi!

What I’m doing with my life

I'm enjoying life daily. I like to meet and get to know people. One can never have too many friends, I say. I would love to form a relationship with that special someone, if it feels right.

I’m really good at

Listening and understanding. Being a great tip calculator. Getting lost. Having a great memory. Having an open mind no matter what. Taking apart and analyzing a problem...getting the big picture. Getting out and exploring new things. Skiing, tennis,...I'm generally a sporty person.

The first things people usually notice about me

When people talk with me, I smile easily. It's hard for me to stay still but I'm not nervous. I'm tall for an Asian chick.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I love movies of almost any nature, but Oscar contenders and dramatic sci-fi are especially interesting. Character studies, psychological thrillers, suspense, great chemistry,...these are all good. Part of the list is Blade Runner, Shawshank Redemption, Apocalypse Now, 12 Monkeys, Million Dollar Baby, Dolores Claiborne. I have a closet interest of horror flicks, even slasher flicks.
I also love music of almost all varieties, although I tend to listen more to alternative rock and 80's pop. Currently, I listen to a lot of Muse, The Police. I have recently started to listen to more hip hop and dance.

The six things I could never do without

laptop
car
my music collection
TV
finding beauty
carpeted floors--no joke

I spend a lot of time thinking about

how to love and to be loved.
What can I do next for fun?

On a typical Friday night I am

hanging out with friends, going to a bar, watching a movie, dancing, watching concerts, watching sports.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am a male-to-female transgender.

You should message me if

you want to enjoy some company with me and not just a quick hookup. I prefer not to chat but rather meet face-to-face. You should have an open mind about trans.
