Mary Wu, Neighbor

Hi, everyone!  It is always hard to fill the space for "About Me," but I'll certainly try my best :-)  My name is Mary Wu and I was born on August 31, 1982.  Although my passion for healthcare and advocacy work for organ donation and transplantation and arthritis are a huge part of who I am, there is a whole other side to me outside of my health issues.  I am a real foodie and loving trying new food and restaurants, cooking (though I am not the best cook at all!), baking, and eating.  I especially love trying all different and new kinds of ethnic cuisines!  :-)  It is a good thing that I love to swim and go to the local "Club Fit" gym in Briarcliff Manor, NY, otherwise I would be really, really overweight!  I swim probably about 3-4 days a week, as it is the ONLY sport I can really do or manage with my arthrtis and other health challenges.  For as long as I could remember, I just loved writing and reading.  Writing has always been a kind of therapy for me as well as an eye-opener that words can really affect and influence people in the best and worst of ways.  So, I most often keep to myself and love being alone to just write, write, and write some more.  While it may seem that I am a loner, I also love socializing, but I've always preferred one-on-one because big groups, crowds, and especially anything with alcohol overwhelm me!  I am an old-fashioned girl that often feels that I don't belong in this "tech-savvy" era because I love to write letters, drink tea, and just spend my days thinking and wondering a lot about life and other random philosophies.  I treasure my friends and family members who are everything to me and have been there for me at my best, but especially my worst.  There is so much more to say that this "about me" box can't fill, so always feel free to contact me instead at mwu82@yahoo.com or 917-968-8856!  :-)
