HOUSTON, TX
People call me extremely weird, even though I don't agree. I'm fun to hang around with, I guess. I like playing chess. I like too many things for a normal person. I play guitar, and am learning piano. I'm learning Vovianm right now. It's Vietnamese Martial Arts. I play go, chess, mahjong, anything interesting. I love music...oh so very much. Reading is fun, only when I have time. I hate reading a lot, then having to stop in a good part because I'm suddenly busy. Well, it's always better to talk to somebody to get to know them better.
