Little meme, taken from tati_79. ^^

1. My username is _____ because _____
- Well, it didn't take that much of imagination on my side. Nausicaa is the nickname they gave me back at University five years ago, when we started our Archeology classes. It's from the princess of the Phaeacians in the Odyssey; a couple of years later I discovered Miyazaki, and his amazing movie, Kaze No Tani No Nausicaa, which added awesomness to that name. ;) 83 because it's the year I was born (no, I'm not 83 years old :P ).

2. My name is _____ because _____
- Valentina because of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman who went into space. My parents loved astronomy, and Russia. ^^ Funny thing, years later my mom told me they had on their list of names Nausicaa too, and it almost won.

3. My journal is titled _____ because _____
- The Moon In The Well, from various things: a story, I think Chinese, of a man trying to catch the moon he sees in the well. It's kind of a recurrent theme in folklore. The main reason, anyway, is a verse from Francesco De Gregori's Il Ragazzo:

Chissà la gente che ne sa
Chissà la gente che ne sa
Dei suoi pensieri sul cuscino, che ne sa
Della sua luna in fondo al pozzo, che ne sa
Dei suoi segreti e del suo mondo

My attempt at a translation:

What do people know, what do people know of his thoughts on the pillow, what do they know? Of his moon in the well, what do they know? Of his secrets and his world.

4. My subtitle is _____ because _____
- No subtitle.

5. My friends page is called _____ because _____
- "...thanks for singing these tears..." - It's a verse from Depeche Mode's Home.

And I thank you
for bringing me here
for showing me home
for singing these tears
finally I've found
that I belong here

I just thought it was appropriate for a "Friends" page, it's how I feel about my close friends. ^^

6. My default userpic is _____ because _____

It's from a screenshot from some Asian movie (Chinese maybe?) I found on film_stills. I wasn't interested in the movie, but I was thrilled by this image of a girl reading a book while relaxing... on the rails. Lately I've been feeling like that: everything is going too fine, so I feel nervous, as if a train was coming behind my back, and I couldn't notice it.

Off-topic, yesterday at last my copy of Rg Veda 10 arrived (a month late... I hate Amazon). Was I the only one who hadn't noticed that Yasha loses an eye in the last few pages? He keeps it closed and has a large scar (just like he did in Tsubasa) on it. The one-eyed festival goes on. ;)

EDIT: just found on youtube one of my favourite scenes in the history of cinema: watch it, you can't miss it. It makes me smile and want to dance everytime. *_______*

Cavolo, questa di de gregori mi manca!! *shame on me*

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Corri subito a rimediare, è splendida! A me la cantava mio papà quand'ero piccola, anche se non la capivo molto. E' una strana sensazione quando riascolti una canzone da grande e a un tratto... E' TUTTO CHIARO! :D

*fulminata sulla via di Damasco, direi*

136 canzoni di de gregori nella libreria e quella non c'è. *ruma in discografia, curioso*

Wow, ma grazie!!! E' su "Alice Non Lo Sa", non l'ho mai ascoltato quel disco...

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Ah, ecco perchè. Siccome mia sorella si chiamava Alice, a casa nostra quell'LP l'abbiamo consumato dall'uso. XD
