I'm bored

About Me

Born and raised on the island of Maui. Great friends and a loving family. Moved to Santa Clara, California, to get my Master's degree in Education. Was teaching 5th grade - love the kids, don't really care for the long hours of unpaid work. I'm in Okinawa helping to teach English. The people are great and the food is oishii! Now if I can just learn to speak Japanese...

My Interests

Watching Sportcenter, sports video games, hoops, movies, traveling to new places

Music:

currently listening to a variety of things - James Morrison, Norah Jones, Nelly Furtado, Kiroro, and, as is the constant, Hawaiian stuff

Movies:

Hayao Miyazaki's animated films (Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle to name a few). Oldies but goodies: Braveheart, Top Gun, Shawshank Redemption, Last of the Mohicans, The Princess Bride, Glory, The Abyss, Gladiator, Shakespeare in Love, Hoosiers. 300 the most recent incredible film; Spiderman 3 the most recent disappointment.

Television:

24, Heroes, Family Guy. Also, wish I could understand the Japanese shows over here...they seem to laugh a lot

Books:

Haruki Murakami's books - Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore
