I stopped at 20 because I ran out of songs. The idea is, you look at the lyrics and tell me the name of the song it's from. Don't google the lyrics, that's cheating. Don't check the other comments of people who've already answered. That's cheating too.

I don't tag, but anyone who wants to do this can. It's fun =)

Memery. ( Did you say memery? )

Memery, stolen from gamahucheur. ( Here. )

Pinched from ph8. ( Memery. )


Hehe, I just noticed that the "update journal" button on the web update form says "Update Captain's Log" lol.

Taken from eneit's journal, where it was admitted as being taken from someone else too. Tee hee.

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one or a lot of reason[s] why I like/love/adore you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.

My name is ______ because ______.
My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
And, just for the hell of it: My username is ____ because _____.

My name on my journal profile is Yáng Hóng Yù - my Chinese name - but my name is Sari.
My journal is called La Gatita Salta. Spanish for "the kitten jumps".
My subtitle is con mucha pasión (with much passion) because everything should be done passionately.
My friends page is called "Friends" because that's what you are.
My username is kittygopounce because it simply is. It was redyu as my Chinese name means "red jade" (Hóng - red, Yù - jade), and was half in English and half in Chinese as a reflection of my ethnic background.

lol, stole this from miss__scarlet! It's muy cute!

Darius is my kissable sweets Get your sweetheart's pet name @ Quiz Me

and

Sari is my raunchy loveling Get your sweetheart's pet name @ Quiz Me

Hehehe ... oh dear. And by now I owe you all a decent, actual entry, for bombarding you with quizzes.

lol, for those of you who've taken my quiz so far ...

- rofl, I'm only mildly offended that one of you thought my hair is permed. (No, I'm not really offended)
- I have damaged 6 cars.
- I can't believe two of you honestly thought it was true that I was born in the year of the warthog.
- no one thought I hated having my picture taken ... odd that ;)

I'm not going to reveal anything more until after the actual party, so that people coming to the party are still going to find it a little challenging.

In other news:

Australia vs Dinamo Zagreb, we won 3 - 0, two goals to Michael Matricciani, and one to another kid whose name I forget. James was benched for the entire match, partly to do with his slack performance the day before, but mostly because there are 25 players listed for the team (11 on the field at a time) and Kosmina wants them all to have a run.

Also, the answers to my music quiz which very few of you took - pot-shots would have been ok, and in fact, funny - the answers are:

In the End by Linkin Park <-- being in the darkened cabin of the plane on the way to Italy.
Twinkle Star <-- one of my few good memories of my dad.
A Woman's Worth by Alicia Keys

Panis Angelicus by César Franck <-- I sang this at my grandmother's funeral.
Le Vent Nous Portera by Noir Desir <-- this came out on European MTV while I was in Italy.
Forget My Name by New Found Glory, cover by Dead Set <-- my brother's band covered this once.

Bimbo by Jim Reeves <-- my mum sings this to me sometimes, with slightly altered lyrics.
Do You Wanna Know A Secret by the Beatles <-- I stripped to this (character requirement, part of script) in a play I was in.
Honey to the Bee by Billie <-- this was playing at roughly 9.40pm on May 22nd, 1999, when I had my first kiss (yes, Mike Kuo, miss__scarlet, lol). I couldn't stand it back then, and I still can't.

Not much else to talk about - except that Darius reckons he will buy a bbq and a homebrew kit first thing upon moving out of home. He said "there's nothing else I'd need", to which I said "a house maybe to have them at?", and he said "nah, I don't need to put them in a house", so I said "oh right, you'll wander the streets with homebrew kit and bbq in tow? Good one" and we laughed. BBQ vagabond!

More On Jade

The history of jade (commonly referred to as yù) is strongly linked to China. In fact two types of jade exist: nephrite, and jadeite. Nephrite originates in South America, and jadeite in Burma and Asia - only coming to China in the 17th century, although it has long been prized by the Chinese and Japanese, as well as by pre-Colombian Mesoamerican peoples, as the most precious of all gems. The Chinese in particular are known for the objets d'art they carve from it.

This precious gemstone said to stimulate occult wisdom and universal attunement (red jade in particular gives out a very energetic vibration and can bring forth hidden anger to be faced and dealt with, leading the spirit to balance and calm), while offering protection, courage, vitality, stamina, and energy. Qualities that are often associated with the stone in its red colour are those of assertiveness and determination (even aggression), energy and passion, power and courage, protection and spontaneity, heat (fire) and blood, love and devotion. According to the ancient Chinese, jade represented many of their most valued attributes: courage, wisdom, mercy, justice, emotional balance, love, and fidelity. It often also signifies beauty, generosity, and purity, and health, wealth, and long life.

Jade is an exceptionally tough material, and was first used for things such as axe heads, knives, and weapons. Later, as other materials could replace jade as a weapons material, it became appreciated for its beauty, becoming considered as more valuable than gold or silver. Unsurprisingly considering its value, there is a strong tradition of giving gifts made of jade in China. Jade butterflies are still exchanged as a token between lovers, a jade phoenix was often given to young girls on their coming of age, and an amulet called "two brothers of heavenly love" depicting two men was once given between close friends.
