Happy Birthday Frodo and Bilbo!

[Nimrodel_9]

I`d just like to say happy b-day to my heroes. (yes, I am obsessed)

I was just wondering if anyone was doing anything to celebrate? I would be, but I no longer live near my friends. So, instead I just wrote Frodo Lives on my hand (confuses people alot, I must say), and later I`ll read one of my LotR books, or watch one of the movies. I not doing much. Any body else? ;)

Happy birthday, Frodo and Bilbo!

I usually bake a cake on occasions such as this, but sadly I have a mind like a sieve with larger holes than it should have, and I forgot it was their birthday at all. Actually I tend to remember for about a week, up until the day before, then forget on the actual day.

Maybe I'll bake a cake tomorrow.

I am also having a quiet evening... most of my Tolkien-allies live long distance.

Nimrodel_9, I like your name and your sig, by the way. Now all you need is a matching avatar.

Yes, Happy Birthday heroes of the Shire! This doesn't really count, but to celebrate, I bought a copy of the Sillymarillion :D

[Encaitare]

I too wrote on my hand! Yay! It said "Happy Birthday Bilbo & Frodo" with the three Tehtar dots over the a's (just for kicks ;) ), but that's about it. I suggested to my friend today that we have a Long-Expected Party, but that was a bit impossible seeing as it was 3 PM at the time... it wouldn't have ended up being very long-expected at all. So nothing really happened. Oh well, I'll celebrate mentally.

Check out this (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=2323) thread for more info on the birthdays!

Well I celebrated by watching TTT for the first time (believe it or not). I was so excited about it I almost forgot to check the BD and almost missed this thread, but not quite and a great big happy birthday to our hobbit friends! :)

Hmmm, I for one can't believe this. I watched TTT too yesterday, but only for the 20+ time... :D

[Nimrodel_9]

Carnimirie, you hadn`t seen TTT until just now? I`m sorry! Though the book was much better I still loved the movie. I own it and have watched it atleast 50 times. ;)

[Carnimírië]

Carnimirie, you hadn`t seen TTT until just now?

'Tis the truth, alas. But I plan on seeing it many, many more times.

Why do I have a feeling that this thread will be closed...

Being a man that works for a fireworks company, I'm sorry I didn't shoot off any fireworks yesterday. However, there was this one wierd customer big grey beard, pointy blue hat, came in and bought about 6,000 dollars worth of firewords...don't ask why.

[Nimrodel_9]

Wow Boromir88! an LotR fan? ;)

Yes, Carnimirie, I think this thread will be closed.

Getting off topic (again), but what special things do you all do to celebrate the Professor`s b-day?

Awww, now I feel really bad. *slaps self* Bad Tolkien-freak. When is his birthday? Jan. 7th, right?

[Nimrodel_9]

Close, Elianna. It`s January 3rd. :)
I believe he turned 111 last year. :cool:

[Evisse the Blue]

Well, the last few years I've been drinking white wine on his birthday and toasting to him. I don't do it alone, in case you wonder at my sanity :D ... yes, the last year was the famous 111 age, which was very celebrated.

[Mithalwen]

Sad to say that there is a fair chance that I drink wine on everybody's birthday (unless it falls during lent) :rolleyes:, but I did raise a special glass for eleventy one last year... sad to say it was not Old winyards..
