32 TODAY!! - NotAlone
|
|
How quickly, like all anniversaries, this special day comes around. I 'discovered' Elijah just two days before his 21st birthday so I have now spent eleven years being entertained and enchanted by him. I have long forgotten what it was like to not have him as part of my life and I look forward so much to sharing another exciting year with him. I wish him all the happiness he deserves and success in every new venture. He will always have my admiration, respect and love.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST ELIJAH!!

>>funny how you remember things like that.<<
Yes, whenever Elijah's birthday rolls around I always know that my E anniversary is just two days before. I remember it so clearly: saw FOTR on the 26th Jan and 'found' E - I didn't know of his existence before then. My daughter was also quite taken with him and, amongst other things, we wondered how old he was. I didn't have a pc then so Googling was out. But just two days later there it was in our local newspaper in the list of celebrity birthdays - Elijah Wood, actor, 21!!
Glad you liked the card - that's praise indeed, coming from you:) | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |
| >>what age did you think he was at that time?<<
I'd only seen him as Frodo in FOTR of course so I guessed somewhere in his teens - probably about 17 in the film. So he was just slightly older than I thought:) | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |

| A lovely birthday tribute to a lovely man. :)
Because it fell proximal to Elijah's birthday, I too can remember the exact date (23 January) that I saw FotR for the first time. I first encountered him in 1991, but that day was really the first time I saw him as an adult -- i.e., the first time adult-me experienced adult-him, if that makes sense, lol! It is indeed funny the way you remember those specific dates. But then, it was a very significant event! | | (Reply) (Thread) |
| "He will always have my admiration, respect and love."
Yes, he will have mine as well.
I saw LOTR for the first time in the spring of 2009, so I am still a "young" admirer, compared to the rest of you. But I somehow feel as though I have known him for a very long time. And I'm looking forward to many more years. :-)
Lovely card, Paulie! | | (Reply) (Thread) |
| Thanks Ambree.
>>But I somehow feel as though I have known him for a very long time<<
It's strange, isn't it? I feel as if I've known him all my life but of course he wasn't even born for a large part of my life!! I really meant it when I said I'd forgotten what it was like not to have him as part of my life:) | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |
| What a gorgeous card. So special, just like him.
I first saw Fellowship in the autumn of 2005, but initially it was the films that i fell in love with. It wasn't until my LOTRs box set arrived that i realised just why i loved the films so much.. Elijah. They arrived on January 28th 2006 ;)
I hope he's enjoying his day! | | (Reply) (Thread) |
