Day 6: 30 facts about me
  1. I'm good at hiding what's going on inside myself. Pretty much I'm good at putting a mask on to hide the truth.
  2. I get easily discouraged. The few times I'm not are when I really am excited about doing whatever it is.
  3. Getting into photography was a pleasant surprise for me. I never thought I would actually take it up as an actual hobby with legit gear. Speaking of which if anyone wants to model for me lemme know, I want to try out shooting with people.
  4. I spend too much time on my computer and because of this I'm more comfortable talking to people through my computer than in person. Not saying I don't want to talk to people in person, but if it's about say something personal or something difficult to talk about then I would rather do it not in person. Maybe it's just because I'd rather not be looking into the persons eyes for fear of being judged.
  5. Looking back on the entry about the time I thought about ending my life, I now admit that I have cut myself once. 
  6. I will get a motorcycle. At some point in my life I will get one. I don't care. I know it's dangerous, but it looks so damn enjoyable. It'll be my guilty pleasure
  7. I view people around me as being perfect, which really doesn't help. I don't see them as having flaws. Only until I see or hear them doing something that shows their flaws do I start to lower my view. 
  8. I try to be a gentleman all the time. Notice how I said try.
  9. I enjoy my alone time a lot. During these times I usually go out on a phototrip by myself, read a book, or just sit around and listen to my ipod. Sometimes I like to have my alone time around other people too. Sounds a little weird, but just being around people is a comfort to me.
  10. I think about my past relationships way too much.
  11. I thoroughly enjoy a good discussion with people. By discussion I mean a serious thoughtful discussion about something meaningful. Or in simpler terms, a heart to heart. I love them because I enjoy the conversation and getting closer to the person.
  12. Trust is one of the things I value most in any form of a relationship.
  13. I sometimes feel like I'm having panic attacks. I usually just wait until it goes away though. Not quite sure what to do about it.
  14. Doing this 30 facts about me is just reminding me about the Tell me about yourself question that will be asked during medical school interviews, which in turn makes me want to crawl into a hole and never come out.
  15. I'm doing this 30 day thing out of order because as I try to catch up I tend to focus more on the ones I enjoy doing. They end up being also the more interesting posts.
  16. Girls confuse the crap out of me. No one will ever understand why they do what they do. Even them.
  17. I feel inadequate to the people around me.
  18. I do that whole inner dialogue thing. I have entire conversations, interactions, and discussions in my head. Everything plays out in my head instead of actually doing it.
  19. I wish I was more connected to my culture and could also speak vietnamese.
  20. I try to please everybody, but that means sometimes it's not the best for me.
  21. I have lots of trouble sleeping nowadays.
  22. I hate being a shy kid. It's hard for me to change.
  23. There is nothing better than taking my hammock, laying out in my backyard on a sunny and breezy spring day, reading a good book, and listening to my ipod.
  24. Since I don't drink and I don't like large crowds I don't go out. While I do think that if I can't have fun sober then what's the point, it raises the question what if I just can't have fun?
  25. Top Gear is my favorite show of all time. Love watching it anytime.
  26. I honestly don't know that much about religion or politics or any of those sorts of things that everybody is so opinionated about.
  27. I wish I could just travel across Europe for a summer with my camera.
  28. I always wonder if I'm making the right life decisions.
  29. I hate awkward silences.
  30. This is one of the hardest entries I've done in awhile. I honestly had trouble doing 30 substantive facts.

    Hey Minh,

    I'd love to come along with you on one of your photo expeditions! I'm not much of a model anymore, but if you need help there, I'm a person? ^^;

    And P.S. is everything okay?
