Date men and women from United States / California / Dana Point, 24 year old

Date single girl from California, United States. I picked my username to reflect two very different parts of my personality. I think of my username--and myself, to a point--as a combination of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and the proof of the quadratic formula. I thoroughly enjoy this self-description, but I guess it doesn't give many solid facts about me, so here are a few:
-I just finished the coursework and student teaching for my teaching credential, and I'm starting a two-summer Master's program at UCI
-I talk a lot when I'm nervous. I also talk a lot when I'm not nervous (but there's a noticeable difference between the two).
-I absolutely love music. My favorite band is The Aquabats, and I've seen them live more than ten times.
-I've played a lot of musical instruments, and I enjoy learning new instruments all the time, but my favorite is upright bass.
-I really enjoy being outdoors; I like hiking and biking best, though I do go sailing sometimes, when the water isn't too rough.
While I am a vegetarian, I've never had trouble maintaining a relationship due to my non-meat-eating tendencies.
The type of man I'm looking for is dedicated in his work and personal life, enjoys going outdoors (hiking and biking are two of my favorite activities, so I hope you like at least one of those!), reads and listens to/seeks out new music voraciously, has a great sense of humor, and is a thoughtful, caring person. Yes, physical characteristics are a factor to a point--I do like a nice smile--but overall, I want to be with a good person who makes me laugh.
I'm definitely looking for something meaningful, serious, and grown-up; a real relationship.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I believe life is a wonderful and beautiful thing that needs to be lived to it's fullest and that's exactly what I hope to do with mine. I love to laugh and have a great time, and love to explore new things whether it's a new city, a new restaurant, a new hobby, or just simply a new movie.
I'm a bit of a dichotomy because although my lifestyle is focused on being incredibly healthy, cooking creatively is a huge passion of mine. I love inventing new recipes... my best one's are probably my sweet meatballs, Graham Cracker crusted Apple Pie, or my Reese's Peanut Butter Cupcakes among many others.
I'm looking for someone who's educated, intelligent, a go-getter who has their life on track, knows what they want, and are doing everything in their power to achieve their dreams. Someone who has a passion for life, always tries to see the glass half full, and believes from every obstacle comes an opportunity.... Oh and you MUST be a big animal lover! :)

Date a girl from California, United States. I feel a little silly having to think about describing myself but this is the best of what I came up with so here it is…
I am originally from up north near Santa Barbara and moved to San Diego for college and have now made my way to Orange County for work. I have been living here for about 2 years now and about 1 year here in Dana point and I absolutely love it here. I have always lived near the beach and I canРІР‚в„ўt imagine my life without it. I love to surf it has always been a passion of mine and even though I have only been a couple of times I also really enjoy stand up paddle boarding. I also love snowboarding as well. I am a huge family oriented person and I would not be the person I am today without them. I am very close to both of my parents and they mean the world to me. I try to spend as much time with them as I can whether they are coming down here or I am going home up north. I enjoy hanging out with my friends. They are also very important to me. We love to go out to dinner, go shopping and of course we like to go out the bars occasionally. I have a dog whom I love dearly. If you asked my friends they would probably tell you that I am obsessed with her. I love to take her to the beach with me, on walks in the harbor and I am hoping to be able to get her on the end of a paddle board sometime soon.
I would love to meet someone who loves my dog as much as I do and would be down to join us for our trips to the beach and walks in the harbor. Someone who would be able to hang with my family from time to time and laugh and have a good time with my friends because we can be a little silly every once and awhile. Someone who is up for adventures, exploring and trying new things who also likes to go out but someone who also enjoys nights in just hanging out home, watching movies and enjoys my baking cause I like to bake more than I like to cook. Let me if this sounds like something interesting ?
