(Metric - Waves)
Mom added me on facebook today. Wow. Awkward. I have to say though, there's nothing on my page that I'm ashamed of. Except maybe that one picture of me wearing women's high heels after a night of heavy drinking (Sarah you've got big feet!!). I'm not sure when I became such a lush but I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. The fact of the matter is this; I like drunk Khiem. Drunk Khiem is the fun Khiem. He's much more sociable and friendly. Two traits that I think are crucial for people to be successful in life. You can't live life alone and people are drawn to these types of personalities.
I think if you compared me ten years ago to now, you'll notice that I've gone from introvert to borderline extrovert. And ten years ago I was proud to be an introvert. I will admit that there are a lot of social situations that still make me feel awkward but for the most part, I'm very comfortable in my shell (and out of my shell) these days.
The wedding pictures are in and I have to say, they turned out better than I thought. Our photographers Dave and Charlotte must have stayed up day and night to photoshop these to make me look half presentable. Quite a memorable day. As painful as the prep was leading up to it, the actual day and all the great friends that came out for us made up for all of it, and then some.

Tears. The running joke around town is that I've got none. That I'm a robot.
I don't see you crying you robot!
I've been working on my social skills for the past 30+ years and this is the next big thing I'm going to work on. One of these days I'm going to cry in front of one of you. And trust me...it will be awkward. Just don't do what I normally do and ask "what is that liquid coming out of your eyes?" I've been told that earns you a nasty look and a night on the couch.
Have you ever been so bitter about something/someone that you feel like you're one of those evil villains in superhero movies that have that big grudge against the superhero? That just won't let it go? That's me sometimes.
Remember when you dropped me in that vat of acid? Yeah, that's right...I haven't forgotten.
I hate that feeling. Why does your brain make you feel guilty for someone else hurting you? I suppose that's what makes us caring human beings...the need to forgive someone. I'm not sure if I'm ready to forgive yet but I'm maybe ready to move past the petty passive aggressiveness.
Wow...that's not me being happy to see you...that's me GROWING!
