misscamIt's now officially Monday morning in Norway, so...
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday dear Camiiiiiiilla
Happy birthday to me!
25. A quarter of a century. Yes, 25 years ago in Bodø, Norway, the firstborn of Matz and Reidun was born and that was little me, poking out in the world. And of course, I was late. Heh. I was home and celebrated with the parents yesterday and got a lovely new bike and lasagne. The leftovers will last me a week.
So, cake all around! Cold lasagne if you want! Bring gifts! ;) Feel free to IM me during the evening, I'm planning on having a few birthday chats here and there.
And aha! Ah, it's like a special birthday gift to me... Yes, CSI, give me one of my pairings.
And a meme, for my birthday:
In 25 more years, where will I be? Where will you be? And what is the one thing we'd be likely to do together?

Date: 2005-02-20 09:37 pm (UTC)In 25 years, you will be happily set in whatever career you have chosen for yourself and looking forward to an early retirement that you can spend with your family and friends. At least, that's what I wish for you.
And where will I be in another 25 years? If it's still working at the book store, I may have to step into incoming traffic.
And together? I'd love to say, visiting you in Norway. :D
no subject
Date: 2005-02-20 09:55 pm (UTC)Heh. Norway will still be here in 25 years, same as ever, me thinks. Fjords and mountains and all. *hugs little country* It'll be 100 years as a modern independent state this year.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-20 09:42 pm (UTC)Where will you be in 25 years: Working in your then-secure job at the BBC. ;)
Where will I be: Not living in Bush Country any longer (I hope)! I don't even know where I'll be this time next year. Final semester of university is fun. O_o
The one thing we'd be likely to do together: Tell Bush jokes in the past tense. Maybe exchange pictures of the kitties we'll have then.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-20 09:56 pm (UTC)But I'll take the other ;)
Happy birthday!
Date: 2005-02-20 09:56 pm (UTC)What sort of cake do you want? I'm fairly flexible, but please don't say lutefisk...
I'd hope that in 25 years' time, you'd be doing something you love and helping to make the world a better place. And writing the 27th sequel to OFUM or something, because I don't know how we'll cope without it.
And I'd like to come and ogle the aurora with you once in a while. And learn Norwegian.
Re: Happy birthday!
Date: 2005-02-20 10:00 pm (UTC)I got cake already - chocolate, made my mum. It's very good. Have some.
And 27th sequel? Ye Gods. How will I have anything left to write about?

Date: 2005-02-20 09:56 pm (UTC)In 25 years, I have no idea where you will be. In Norway, and writing something?
In 25 yeas, I have no idea where I will be. Likely, somewhere in Europe, working for the big, evil pharmaceutical company.
We are likely to complain about poorly written stuff all over the 'Net together :)

Date: 2005-02-20 10:28 pm (UTC)I will be a pharmacist, happily filling penicillin prescriptions, when I'm not busy with my kids.
And we will together be lamenting over(and rectifying) badfic...although I wouldn't mind a vaction in Norway...

In 25 years, I will be in a Bush-free America, you will be in a Bush-free world, and we will be dancing about it.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-20 10:41 pm (UTC)I like my lasagne hot and cold both, but it does have a different taste to it cold. Either way, it's yummy.

As for me, I'll be some computer geek hunched over my Linux box trying to get it to plot the coordinates of the electrons orbiting a plutonium atom, or something equally pointless.
We'll probably be lamenting badfic on LJ. 'Cos some things just don't die, and badfic is one of them.

Date: 2005-02-20 10:48 pm (UTC)Now...In 25 years you will be either someone very major in politics or someone equally major in journalism. I will hopefully be alive. Let's see, 25 years...I'll be 45 and you'll be 50. Christ, we'll be decrepit. Anyway, hopefully I'll accomplish at least something...We shall see. We'd be likely to either campaign for something together. Personally I'm leaning towards that one. Of coure you could always be à la Larry King and be the only one with the exclusive rights to interview me :)
Love you muchly!
Ton,
Anaïs

Date: 2005-02-20 11:47 pm (UTC)Happy quarter-century, Miss Cam! May may happy returns.
In twenty-five more years? I will probably be married with a couple of kids, still a bit of a hippy/artist/philosopher/scientist mix. Hopefully with an Actual Job. You will probably be a brilliant teacher or writer, engaging the minds of The FutureTM. We will, sadly, have probably lost track of each other (although I will never forget you, because of OFUM) but we would still squeal madly together over LOTR things if we ever chanced to meet at a con or in whatever version of the Internet will exist then.

Date: 2005-02-21 01:20 am (UTC)Have a blessed new year of your life, Camilla... in 25 years you will probably still be a writer, clever but nor cynical, clear-eyed, but not without any dreams to share, and ther will hopefully be some published novels or short story collections, translated from norwegian into english and german (but certainly not by me). I will be a grey-haired grandmother with your novels on her shelf, re-reading them from time to time and silently chuckling at the thought of the times when I translated OFUM...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
no subject
Date: 2005-02-21 01:50 am (UTC)Heh. You'll have to remind me to autograph one for you then. And tell me how the translator did, so I'll know whether to smack her or not.

That's a link to a very lovely David Wenham Happy Birthday message (sorry it's so big). Hope you like. It'll be in my journal in my next post under a cut. Again, I hope you love it. :)
In 25 years you will be a famous authoress and making very much money. I will be (hopefully) married and enjoying life as an actor or author. Most likely, I'd still be going "OMG!" over OFUM and we'd meet at a Tolkien Con. and be a brilliant mind (you) and a not-so-bright mind (me) conversing over one of the greatest literary masterpieces and still drooling over the actors who played the characters. And we'll both be married to very hot men. Not the same one, but very hot ones.
Happy Birthday! :)

In 25 more years, I'll be a published writer and perhaps even trying to strike a deal with the ruler of New Vinland to write the official biography. Or something. ^^

Complaining about the lack of respect children have 'these days' for their own language, and how it was all different when we were young...

We'll get royally drunk and sing silly song on the banks of the Seine at two in the morning, and then we'll go throw bananas and tomatoes on lots of embassies.
