Happy Baggins Birthday, Lavender!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! diem_kieu94 September 23 2013, 04:30:23 UTC

Happy birthday to the legendary Bilbo Baggins and the beautiful Frodo Baggins!!

As my birthday gift to them, I've started a Lord of the Rings club at my school! The first meeting will be a belated celebration in their honor! I'm so excited! :)

Thank you for your lovely posts! May they and our love for them be as immortal as the elves!

You've started a fan club? Go, you!!!!!

Indeed I have! Sadly, it's not Frodo-centric, but I think I'll have plenty to enjoy while running my own Fellowship! ;)

Thank you for showing Ian Holm as Bilbo. Happy day to both of them! Wish I could join that fan club - but we have our own. :) jan, are you going to do something for the occasion, even belatedly?

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Hi, Anatane! I'm still out of town but am reading my emails. You have a fan club there, too? Cool!

I made this manip before there was any Bilbo actor other than Ian Holm, but I still would have used him, if only because Pierre Vinet did not live to take any photos of the Hobbit cast. I just love the photos Vinet took during the making of the trilogy, publicity stills, behind the scenes -- he was excellent. And I deeply love Ian Holm's Bilbo. This is not to say I am not enjoying what Martin Freeman is doing. I think he is an excellent choice to play younger Bilbo. :)

No, I don't have a club there - I meant yours/ours here! :)

hello, Antane! yes, stay tuned and we'll have a belated-birthday post!

Hello! I find your LJ incredibly lovely and interesting, so I just added you to my f-list. Also, thanks for everything you're doing here!

Hmm. I just wrote you a lengthy reply which seems to have gone off into the ether! I just wanted you to know, Kornblumenblau, that I appreciate your warm comment. My emailed notices of comments or postings of friends that come from LJ stopped working almost a year ago so I almost never see comments made to older posts.

Welcome!
