Happy birthday to
swedish15!!
I know it's already over in Germany, but I wanted to say it again anyway. M'Dear Mister-I-Don't-Want-My-Name-To-Be-Known, I feel extremely lucky of having met you. You're a great guy, with incedible taste in mostly everything, and I wish our fandoms would be the same again, so we could go back to having long philosophical talks about them. :)) Wish you the best. *hugs*

In other news, I just came back home from flamenco class to be happily spoiled on the SPN 2x14 pics. Yes, THOSE pics. The cool as hell pics that made me OMG GASP IN SURPRISE AND DELIGHT AND THAT HAVE MADE ME ROCK IN MY CHAIR FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES. Those ones. Waaaah, I'm so psyched up about it!! I'm not terribly excited about this Thursday's ep, but the next one? I'M SO THERE. *flails some more*
Anyway, here are the answers to the lyrics meme. Embarassingly enough, I don't remember the names of two of the songs. *HEADDESK* I know one of them is by Kent, but the other one I've no idea. o_O
Mmm, what else? I started reading Rayuela (Hopscotch) by Julio Cortázar today. It is really wordy but good so far. So far, it reminds me a lot of Travesuras de la niña mala by Mario Vargas Llosa, with the Paris scenery and slightly insane characters. I also finished Lullaby, by Chuck Palahniuk yesterday, and al;sdfkja;lsdkjf. So good. Intricate story, awesome characters and the details in this are wonderful, very much real and just on the border of macabre and morbid. A wonderful read, and I so can't wait to get my paws on the rest of this author's books.

Oh my god, I didn't guess Mia. *ashamed* Translated it would mean something like:
Ich bin hier weil ich hier hin gehör / Von Kopf bis Fuß bin ich verliebt / Du bist mutig weil du mir Treue schwörst / Zwischen all den schönen Souvenirs.
I am here because I belong here/ I'm in love from tip to toe / You're bold because you swear to be faithful to me/ Between all these beautiful souvenirs.

Eeeh, thanks! That's kinda... cheesy. o_O But I really like that song.
Lullaby's about this reporter that, when researching on crib death, realizes there's this 'culling' song that used to be sung in Africa to give a peaceful dead to the elderly and sick, and it's been misplaced in an antology of songs from the world. This doesn't do it any justice, though, because it's narrated, ugh, in suuuuch a good way, and has a lot of social meaning. do read it, I know you'll love it. :)
(Also, some friends have told me that the FC book is every bit as amazing as the movie. I really, really want to read it...)

Hee, I love how The Little Mermaid made your songs list. Damn, I should've gotten that one; I used to sing that song all the time. ;)

Oooh, the pics! I so can't wait to see that ep! I just know I'll be flailing all along XD
Haha, yeah, I don't even know why I have that version, I like (and know by heart) the spanish version better XD

I soooo want to read the book. I'll try and find it here, but I think I'd rather to read it in English and that's kinda harder to find. *sigh*

If I owned a copy and my parents didn't freak out about contact with people I "don't know offline", I would mail it to you. :( I think it really does need to be read in English, though; I can't imagine that Chuch Palahniuk's style would translate well. Good luck!

Aww. Well, too bad. Haha, my parents used to be like that as well, but then I thought to myself 'whate the hell' and pretty much gave my address away to everyone online and now they're just going 'wtf' at all the mail I get XD
