A comment on my username

Just so y'all are pronouncing it correctly in your heads (like you care, ha ha)
joeychen - meaning 'Little Joey' in German. A nickname I had in German class in college with my friends.
So it's not Joey Chen (like an Asian name/pronounciation a hard tch sound), it's joeychen, like 'shen' at the end, a 'shhhh' sound.

it always made me think "joey-chan," which is a Japanese thing ("chan" being an endearment thing tacked onto the end of girls' or kids' names to essentailly mean "cute little joey" or whatever the name is. Like my cat Chloe becomes "Chloe-chan".)
