Carissa

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

College graduate. Outspoken. Crazy. Creative. Outgoing. Optimistic. Simple. And a hopeless romantic. But I'm also full of flaws. Emotional. Lazy. Unattractive. Skeptic. And a worry wort.
My loves are my family and very close friends. I'm pretty good at keeping in touch with those near and far, but you gotta keep in mind that it's a two way street. Love goes both ways. I do love hearing from those I haven't heard from in awhile. So don't be a stranger! =)
AND... I have much love for the city in which I was born and raised. I love living it up in LONG BEACH! Yeah yeah! lol...
I recently graduated from college. YAY! =) And I'm looking forward to what this life has to offer me.
Other than all that and some basics... my name is Carissa. Nice to meet you. =)


My Interests

I have an interest in tasteful expressions in the form of any kind of art (photography, music, or even the written word). I find human thought as facinating. That goes along the lines of emotions and feelings that surface at different stages in our lives. The know how or why we do the things we do... stuff like that. Oh and culture. I enjoy learning about different cultures: the people, the food, the music, the tradition, etc. I guess you can say I'm just interested in anything that makes us human. =)
Also apparently I'm a picture whore. I take pictures like crazy. It's insane! Here's most of my crazyness.
Other than that... I'm just another girl looking for a good time. ;) Holla! HAHAHA...

I'd like to meet:

Old and new friends. =) ..

Music:

I'm pretty open when it comes to music. You can get me to listen to things at least once. I like most things that have an awesome beat and something you can really sing and move to. But to start, I like: Maroon 5, Yellowcard, Linkin Park, Green Day, The Starting Line, Fall Out Boy, The Click Five, Third Eye Blind, No Doubt, Jesse McCartney, Jojo, Ryan Cabrera, Mya, Craig David, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Brown, Ne-yo, Mariah Carey, Mario, Frankie J, Usher, Jon B., NERD, Kanye, John Legend, Boys II Men, Babyface, Curtis Peoples, Justin Young, Ernie Halter, Hirai Ken, Utada Hikaru... yeah... and a lil classical to relax the tired mind. yup... kinda just all over the place.... =)

Movies:

I love watching movies. I could go for almost any kind of movie, but I tend to stay away from the super sci-fi and scary ones. Love the romantic comdies. Favorites include some cheesy ones too... but movies I like are: She's All That, Never Been Kissed, Ever After, A Walk to Remember, Serendipity, Notting Hill, Along Came Polly, Closer, Hitch, A lot Like Love... yeah you get the idea. Others like American History X, Remember the Titans, Tuesdays with Morrie, Forrest Gump, Oceans 11, 40 Year Old Virgin, RENT, and Pride & Prejudice. There's probably more, but I really can't think of anymore.

Television:

I watched Felicity (Ha. Yeah I was 1 of like 10 viewers). Other random things I watch: Friends, Will & Grace, Everybody Loves Raymond, That 70's Show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Nanny, Fresh Prince, Score, Law & Order, CSI, King of Queens, My Wife & Kids, Girlfriends, Sex in the City, Desperate Houswives, Grey's Anatomy, House, MTV, VH1, ESPN, news, and Food Network.

Books:

Read? Read what? HA!

Heroes:

My Grandma, Auntie Shirley, and Grandpa Tang. All of them have been a major part of my life.
I love you and I miss you all. We will never forget any of you. 06.24.03 & 08.29.06 & 06.09.07
Also my parents. They taught me everything I know of how to be the person I am today. Their constant love and support has brought me this far and I am truly greatful for it.
