I'm just like everyone else- a little bit different.

haha, I go to school at Cal State Long Beach, it's pretty fun there. I'm a double major in math and chem, and pretty active with other pursuits like circle k, math club, chem research.

I'm looking for someone roughly my age, a friend with whom I can share language, culture, and everyday experiences.​

I want to get better at German, because it's awesome, and I want to work at CERN in the summer of '09. I want to get better at Japanese, cause otherwise I'll have wasted four years of high school. I'd love to learn any other languages, because language is cool.

I do alot of volunteering​ with my friends, because it's fun. I also really enjoy kicking back, having some milk tea with boba, and my job. I tutor high school chemistry and math. I also do physical chemistry research  at Notre Dame with their particle accelerator.​ That is ridiculously​ awesome!

I've really gotten into indie music lately. My favorite bands are young love, and hellogoodbye​. The Beatles rock my socks though. I have to admit though, I've grown up with LP and System. So I definitely dig that whole punk rock vibe.

If you must have the list: The Beatles, The Killers, Thrice, Wilco, The Boom, System of a Down, Linkin Park, Pink Floyd, The B-52's, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, The Police, Foreigner, D.A.I,Self against City, Utada Hikaru, ORANGE RANGE, Cher, Hellogoodbye​, Death Cab for a Cutie, Panic!at the disco,Young Love, Moros Eros, A life in Letters,Socr​atic, etc.

I really only get to go to the theatre during break, so I watch most movies on DVD. All in all, these are my favorites:

The Princess Bride, Terminator 1&2, All the Ghibli films, A Walk in the Clouds, Anastasia, The Minority Report, AI, SWIII, Under Tuscan Sun, Walk Hard.

Shark Week , Avatar:the last airbender, Numb3rs, Final Fu, The Late show, Criminal Minds, Pushing Daisies

I love to read. Right now my favorite book is The Screwtape Letters by C. Lewis .

Human all too human, The Giver, Life of Pi,  Are you my mother, Joy Luck Club, and 1984 are at the top of the list.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. -Benjamin Franklin
