Happy Birthday Jensen !!

[apieceofcake]

I didn't think I was going to be able to do anything as my muse skipped town when I went to do something for 5.11, and I haven't seen her since!
So I wasn't expecting much when I opened PSP, but..
Someone tie her down because I need her for apocabigbang.

Jensen,
You're like an Indian Summer in the middle of winter,
Like a hard candy with a surprise center,
And just thinking of you makes me smile!
Happy Birthday!!

Oh my, these are GORGEOUS! Then again, everything from you is gorgeous. ♥

I'll join you in wishing Happy Birthday to this beautiful and talented man!

p.s. I read Chinese, but I can't quite make out what those words in the second one say. Something about soul and spirit I think...

[apieceofcake.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-) ♥

This is the texture I used for that one

Goodness, I'm sorry I should replied to you sooner.

Thanks for the large picture. It's beyond my level of ability to read Chinese calligraphy, so I enlisted hubby's help. He deciphered it's a calligraphy of a 4 verse stanza from an ancient styled poem "stamped" 4 times next to each other. He thinks these are the characters in Chinese:

閒挂天地根，
幽搜古靈魂。
菰蘆蓧幹異，
豈是南風昷？

We tried to interpret the meaning, and this is all we could come up with:

1st verse: "Idly hanging over at (either) the source of all living things between heaven and earth (or) the vale where two peaks connect,"
2nd verse: "quietly searching the ancient spirit."
3rd verse: I'm not too sure about this--something about gourd--my guess is the gourd flower all dried up--maybe that flower is a gourd flower (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/Calabash_flower.jpg), but those are mostly white I think. I did find a variety that grows in the Himalayas but I don't know what it look like,
4th verse: "Could it because the southern wind is too warm?"

Of course we could be totally wrong here. Incidentally we found a message board (http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=485447945) on badu (the Chinese version of google I think) where people were discussing its meaning so the poem must be well known. Apparently no verdict were concluded. People couldn't even agreeing with the words...

That was very kind of you and your hubby to do that, thank you!

xx.

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Oh hon, you are very kind. I'm sure I went overboard in flooding you with trivial info. Sometimes I just couldn't back down from a mystery. O_o

Regardless of the meaning of the words, the manner is simply beautiful. *runs off to stare more*

p.s. I love your hug icon. Is it yours? Can I "steal" it? It's okay if you tell me it's not for grab, I still adore it.

[apieceofcake.livejournal.com]

:-)

Yep, Steal away!

xx.

[xwacky.livejournal.com]

Grabby hands grabs. Thanks so much hon.

Oooh, these re sooooo pretty, especially the first one. I wouldn't have pictured Jensen and flowers like that, but it works somehow. I'd say your muse is definitely making a comeback! At any rate, it's great to see YOU back, babe. *Smooches*
