lierdumoaHappy birthday to...
You're a wonderful friend and beta and I hope you have a lovely birthday full of porny fic (cause now you can read it legally). Sadly, I didn't get anything written for you. *hangs head* I did, however make you icons. I've made one SS/DM, as you requested. I've also made five Faye Wong icons as a surprise. Surprise!
The Faye Wong icons can be found: HERE
They are PNG files. I saved them under this filetype for 2 reasons. (1) The picture quality is superior to JPEG. When I save files as JPEG, I tend to get interference in the picture. (2) Livejournal allows users to upload PNG files as icons without having to convert them to another filetype.
You'll notice that I've listed the picture url under each picture. If you want to use any of these icons on your livejournal, just go to Edit User Pictures (note: to access this webpage you must first log in). Go to the upload form at the bottom of the page and select the button next to "From URL" (the button next to "From File" is selected as default), then copy and paste the url I've listed on my webpage into the box.
Enjoy!
Oh, and also, I met a Faye Wong fan at my college. I was playing Tori Amos' "Silent All These Years" on the piano and she started singing along in Chinese. I hadn't realized that anyone had adapted the song to Chinese. It was very cool listening to her. I saw the Chinese lyrics later on (translated into English, of course). Apparently the Chinese lyrics mean something completely different from Tori's original lyrics.
"Silent All These Years" by Tori Amos
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the Anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
here
silent all these years
So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
To get us there
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it's been
here
silent all these..
Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're too
easy
easy
easy
Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
but baby don't look up
The sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you
here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it's been
here
silent all these years
I've been here
silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these
years
"Cold War" by Faye Wong (badly translated from Mandarin)
Silence is around, still not asking to breathe
Fear touched evil emotional air
For you, kept remembering the question marks
Waiting for you to stop kissing, my darling
Decieving oneself
Follow no plans, cannot bear to see through your heart
Heard you and I should be friends together
I also learn others silently watch the play of two parts
And unwilling to separate
Next to silence without words
Happy thinking of you, I wake early like promised
Must never immaturely guess
But mutual expressions, cold expressions coldly explain cold war continuing
How many years? Love you and hate you. (How many years? Wanting to be treated like ice)
Stylish words generally flow, half still there, fly here, fly there
No, don't listen, don't ask, don't want any doubt
Fear will not make power
Length of time is evidence of heaven's length
What about you?
Not too many emotions, don't ask you, but can't help but respond
Not deliberately forcing, wanting to urge you to stay, no harm in abandoning
Always whole-heartedly lonely, you pretend
Disregarding consent, unwilling
I love you, you also love me, this one promise now, you watch, she promises
Depending on meaningless mistakes, exceed harm, exceed pain
A mistake; I lost, you only waste away
Cold war, then cold war, again cold war
Going to mess up, already messed up
Love, what counts for mistakes?
Accompany you, obey you, condone you
What will make you turn around?
Opposite silently without words
Happy thinking of you, I exist early like promised
Eternally mustn't immaturely guess
But cold cold expressions, cold cold expressions
Have no speech, have no speech, have no speech
Clearly cold
How many years? Against disaster we love
After all, how many years? Unfortunate and pitiful
Unfortunate and pitiful
Offering to leave before your eyes

Date: 2003-10-27 01:41 am (UTC)The Faye icons are pretty, it's strange that I made an icon from the pink picture (with her in black) almost exact same as yours. Great minds think alike. ;)
Usually, the lyric translations don't match the original ones, just look at the English version of some anime songs.
My birthday started out shitty, but now it's all better - as soon as it passed midnight, blah!
Thanks again! :)
Oh, for some reasons, when I went to save the SS/DM icon, I can only save one frame of it and it's in .bmp file. Can you send it to me as an attachment?
