Happy birthay, Norway!

Today is the 17th of May and Norway's National Day. *offers the traditional ice cream, warm waffles and hot dogs to all*

I haven't celebrated the 17th of May in Norway since 2001. It is good to be home.

And now for the traditional cheer...

Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!

Happy Birthday Norway!

I do hope the notorious lutefisk isn't on the (extended)list of traditional foods you are to eat.

Thanks for the waffles! Mmmm...waffles

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Lutefisk? Certainly not. We want to enjoy the day, after all.

*hurras and eats ice cream* I like your holiday. It's cooler than ours...better food.

Lovely icon.

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Ja, vi elsker dette landet,
som det stiger frem...

Happy birthday, Norway!

*thumb's up*

Of course, the real trick is to be able to sing it...

Glad fødselsdag, Norge! *happily munches on ice cream and waffles*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, close, but no cigar. We say gratulerer med dagen (which more or less means "congratulations on this day"). Direct translations aren't always quite right...

Oops...

[anckyria.livejournal.com]

... so much for the actual usefulness of small basic dictionaries...
Well, I'll have courses in both Norwegian and Danish next year :)

Happy Birthday, Norway!!

[starts on a poem of praise- gets distracted by ice cream]

When I was 8 I had a fetish for Norway. I really wanted to go there, and nagged about it for ages. My parents never gave in. :( Two years later, I fell in love with New Zealand, and two years after that, The Fellowship of the Ring was released. I'm still in love with New Zealand. Damn PeeJay.

The point of this story? I wanna go to Norway and New Zealand, dammit!!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Norway and NZ do actually have a lot in common (small, got fjords, got many mountains and not too many people), so I guess if you like the one, you will easily like the other.

I want to go to NZ too... Sniffle.

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that makes sense.


I'm really, really jealous of the LotR cast and crew. They got to stay there for a looooong time AND see things other people aren't allowed to because they're located in protected areas. Harumph.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*pats* There, there. They also had to work very hard, y'know.

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

But what's hard working if you're having fun doing it?


Neh, they deserve it. I lurved the films. For the most part. WTF?! Elves at HELM'S DEEP?!!

Happy Birthday, Norway!

*applauds noisily*

Happy birthday Norway! *eats ice cream and waffles*

[irian.livejournal.com]

Happy National Day Norway! Hehehe. I thought that that was oven-baked pancakes and not waffles though? Oh well, I may have gotten mixed up somewhere.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No, it's definitely waffles. At least what we consider waffles.

[git-the-goddess.livejournal.com]

And, for us un-edumacated lot, what is the difference?
And are hotdogs in Norway battered, on a stick?
What is the standard flavour of ice cream there?

*puts on party hat and hands out the chocolate-covered wetas*
Enjoy!
*consumes ice-cream and slips hot dog to mini-balrog*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Pancackes you make on the stove. Waffles you make with a waffle iron.

Our hot dogs are either eaten with hot dog bread or 'lompe', which I have no idea what is called in English.

Standard flavour of ice cream... Well, I guess that would be vanilla, usually with something on top or covered in chocolate. But we have many, many kinds of ice cream and taste is varied.

[irian.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Waffles then. No maple syrup or jam on top I suppose?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Jam is common to put on. Or just sugar and sometimes butter. But no maple syrup. We don't really do maple syrup at all.

[irian.livejournal.com]

Too bad. Maple syrup is good.

Hei ;)

Siden dagen i dag er dedikert til alt norsk (inkludert Leif...) så skal det gjerne skrives på språket.

Håper du har hatt en kjempefin dag. Det har nemlig jeg... Masse pene, halvnakne russ å titte på, og masse moro generelt.

Hilsen Anne.

ps. tenker på en dato for Leifs retur til Amerika. Hvordan lyder 7. juni neste år? Vi feirer frigjøringen fra Sverige med å ta tilbake Amerika i steden for Jämtland og Härjedalen. (Hvorfor skulle vi ønske oss områder med nesten bare skog, når vi kan få et helt kontinent?)

Overtrøttheten slo til for fire timer siden. Alt er ikke like logisk lenger. Kanskje jeg skal gå å legge meg...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hadde dessverre ikke så mye halvnakne russ her omring. Jaja, man kan jo ikke få alt her i livet. Men jeg hadde mye is og varme vafler, så det var hyggelig. Så bilder fra feiringen i Brisbane der jeg feiret i fjor på TV. Det er ganske morsomt å feire det i utlandet, men hjemme er nå best.

Hmmm, det er en interessent ide. Feire frigjøringen med en ny frigjøring - flott symbolsk gest. Og innen da vet vi jo om herr Bush har blitt gjenvalgt eller om Kerry er den nye mannen (i så fall får vi vurdere om han duger). En annen mulig dato er Leif Erikson dagen (feires i Oktober en eller annen gang i USA). Det ville jo også ha en viss symbolverdi. Hmmm. Vi får sove på det.

Jeg burde definitivt legge meg jeg også...

Stavanger Katedralskole har et guttekor som synger i bare boxeren... de måtte selvfølgelig være med i russetoget.-- *sikle.* Okay, det var bedre da jeg faktisk gikk på skolen, og var like gammel som de i koret, men litt eye-candy er ikke å forakte. De er jo bare to år yngre da...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm-mmmm. Det burde flere kor begynne med. Jeg er sikkert på at det ville øke populariteten deres enormt. Og hvilken rolle spiller vel alder når man skal bare seog ikke røre?

Heh, vi har vel egentlig ikke noe godt norsk ord for 'eye-candy'.

*cheers and throws balloons* Happy birfday! *Munches on ice cream* Mmm...more birthday food. (My friend's birthday is also today)

*starts singing Happy Birthday in French*

Birthday song for Norway

[(Anonymous)]

Me: This is your birthday song, it isn't very long! *giggles*

My alter ego: Happy Birthday. (huh)
Happy Birthday. (huh)
Death, Darkness, and Despair
People dying everywhere.
Happy Birthday. (huh)
Happy Birthday. (huh)

Me: That isn't very nice at all. Bad Alter Ego, BAD! *hits alter ego with a stick* Sorry about that. Happy Birthday to Norway! May your land be showered with lots of crickets!

Re: Birthday song for Norway

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Um, thanks? But really, we can do without the crickets. They're bloody noisy.

Re: Birthday song for Norway

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, sorry. I like crickets. So instead, may your land be showered with glitter and fertility and wisdom, and...well...you get the point.

Re: Birthday song for Norway

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That sounds more fun!

*showers glitter over everyone*
