Internet Persona: "Jade" - People sometimes ask me if this is my real name. In a sense, it is. Part of my Chinese name is the name of a rare variety of jade that is considered unusually special and good luck. Sometimes I'll also use "Lady Archangel" in e-mail. Not much of a reason behind that one... when I was setting up a My Yahoo! account, all the angelic names I came up with were taken, so I finally just added a "Lady" in front of one of them in exasperation.
Birth Year: 1980, the Year of the Goat - according to the lunar calendar, January was still 1979.
Astrological Sun Sign: Capricorn, with Cancer rising. The Cancer pretty much makes me a wussy Cappy, I think. :P That or I just haven't grown into my sign yet. We'll see in 10 more years...
Full-time Occupation: Student - entering my third year at (University of California, San Diego), majoring in literature/writing.
Part-time Occupations: 1) Roommate's petsitter for his incredibly hyperactive kitten named Jack (sweet and adorable, but still teething... ow!), 2)Eternal daydreamer and occasional realist, 3)Aspiring writer and novelist who sometimes dabbles in poetry and web design,4)Resident klutz.... for all you roleplaying fans, my ever-tactful ex-boyfriend tells me I have a dexterity of 2.
Movies: Romantic comedies will always get my vote! Not too big on scary/gory movies, or movies like "There's Something About Mary" with slapstick humor. I'll laugh, but I'll only see the movie once. Some of my favourite movies: Dead Poet's Society, Ladyhawke, Bladerunner, The Joy Luck Club, The 5th Element, The 13th Warrior, Lethal Weapon 1-4, Die Hard 1 & 2, Hudson Hawk, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer.
Musical Preferences: mostly 80's and pop - I listen to The New Mix 95.7 FM and Star 100.7 FM in San Diego. In LA where my parents live, I listen to Star 98.7 FM, KIIS 102.7 FM, and KBIG 104.3 FM. Goo Goo Dolls, John Rzeznik's amazingly adorable and melting little grin, and Garbage are my current trends.
Things I Still Want To Do: Hang-gliding.... skydiving (some day I *will* get over this inane fear of heights, lol)... tour through Europe.... ride the winning horse at the Triple Crown races... ride bareback, galloping across an ocean beach or through fields of wildflowers... write a bestselling novel with a lucrative movie deal attached.... write the script and direct an Oscar-winning movie... sing... raise children with morals, imagination, spirit, and a "Damn the risks!" attitude (I know I'll regret that one some day...)
