Best. Fireworks. Ever.

Best fireworks display ever, was Founders Day 2006. I love it that Vassar has fireworks because you can always get the best seats in the house, unlike the Macy's Fourth of July Firework Spectacular. And the fireworks are right above our heads and reflect off of Sunset Lake. Beautiful.

More quarters please...

My favorite ARCADE game growing up was House of the Dead, that game where you shot up zombies.
My favorite ARCADE game now, whenever I could get to an arcade, is Dance Dance Revolution. Though, once Taiko Drum Master comes to the US, I'll be playing that. (When I was in Japan, Taiko had totally taken over DDR)

This book, wow...

I think Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte has changed my life because it set up a lot of what I think romance should be. Intense, surprising and self-sacrificing. I identify with the main character alot too. A bit matronly, a bit plain jane, but intelligent and opinionated.

You can call me...

My immediate family calls me Jei which is the shortened word for eldest sister in Cantonese.
My Cantonese first name is Jimei, which I really don't hear, unless I'm in China (my youngest aunt usually calls me that) or when my dad gets pissed at me.
My old roommate Jess calls me Ames.
Tom calls me Cheng.
In Japanese class, I was Chen-san.
My Japanese nickname is Chi-chan.
And at my old karate dojo, I was called Spitfire, but the sensei only used that name once.

Yet Another Blogging Client

So I've finally "settled" into Vox. The interface looks really cool and it's fun to use but I already have two blogs. One at Livejournal (which I update frequently but only my Friends can see), one that uses Wordpress (which I update occassionally and that everyone can see). For interested parties, the links for those are:

fangirlamee.livejournal.com
high.scoring.Freudian.slips (I'm planning to tweak the layout for these, maybe something along the lines of vectorized flowers)

And now this.

I think the deal breaker would be an open API or plug-ins (add-ons) like WordPress or maybe intergration with LiveJournal. The would be HOT. .
