I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


i am a hapa-haole boy
(hawaiian/german/japanese/
french/italian/portugese
),
born and raised in tropical Honolulu
('imua kamehameha!', which, if you are local,
you'll understand),
but now living the glamorous life
in southern California
with my boyfriend, my cat (oscar),
and my puppies (lucinda and winston).
i loves the beach, the mountains, the theatre, music, & literature. i tend to watch more reality tv programming than i'd like, which is disturbing to me.
i don't own an iPod.
i DO own more pairs of jeans than i have room in which to store them. i am somewhat of a fashion snob (read = sucker for labels).
i have a weakness for people with pretty eyes.
i am a great listener, and my shoulder is always there for a friend to cry/lean/sleep on.
i can live off of fried chicken, edamame, and ice cream if necessary.

My Interests

food, fashion, and fun (not necessarily in that order).
