1. If you were a cartoon character who would you be and why?

I like Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty seems to have lots of fun, never gets mad and is good humored about everything. Hello Kitty is also cute.

2. What's a unique, interesting or goofy hobby that you have?

I love to collect little things. I have a fridge that's covered with little cute animal magnets and picture magnets; some I've made. I also collect little stuffed animals about an inch tall. I love little shiny hanging crystals and I have little glass bugs and frogs on my desk... you get the picture...

3. How are you culturally diverse?

I am mixed Asian, so visually I seem to get lots of comments from strangers in different languages such as vietnamese, spanish, arabic etc... But overall, my family and extended family has every ethnic mixture and background spanning Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Native American, Irish, English, German, Puerto Rican, Italian, Polish, African American and Persian. I also once lived in a small Alaskan Village for about ten years and learned a lot about cultural community and differences in values. I now value Diversity as something that really adds spice and beauty to the American mosaic of culture on a cultural, social and political level.
