Thank you all!  :)
I had a lovely day indeed. Among other a good friend and fellow LBT fan (the first one I ever got to know) from Australia send me DVDs of both the TV and the cartoon series of Dinotopia, neither of which was ever released here in Germany :)
As for the cake I had made two. A lemon cake and a "don't know what it is called in English cake of chocolate and a dough based on curd". I hope I didn't eat TOO much of it Littlefoot Fan ;)
Perfect German Nick!  :yes
One of the good things about living in two different households is that my birthday is going to be celebrated in the other household too next saturday  :D

Post by: Malte279 on September 27, 2009, 01:47:18 PM
Thank you all very very much :)
I really appreciate your well wishes a lot!
From the birthday perspective this really was a great day as I had a really nice celebration with my family and got some really nice stuff too. :yes

From other points affecting my life at the moment I must admit life is not quite as good as it should be. I haven't told many so far but the results of my university work I got recently were not what I had hoped for. I did pass, but it is far below what I had hoped for and expected and is very little in return for all the work I had with it. On thursday I will learn if the mark (it would come down to something similar to a C) will affect my plans for the future more directly as to just lessen my chances for applications for jobs and stipends, namely by keeping me from being given the chance to write my dissertation. For someone for whom studies are really a most integral part of life all this is really a stab where it hurts most.
And as for events beyond the narrow scope of personal life I think that this evenings TV program on one of the few channels that does not report about today's national elections actually befits the outcome of those elections very well (the are airing episode III, the revenge of the sith) :bang
Germany is now to be ruled by a coalition of parties from whom I expect really a lot of harm to come. These are not the best days of my life :neutral
The much the more do I appreciate your well wishes friends :yes

You got a gift to open remember? :p
Unlike some others I may have the patience to wait until my birthday to open my presents but I certainly wouldn't fail to remember them ;)
Yours was the first I opened and I had my Mum (I was at her place today) take a picture of the solemn moment:
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh475/Malte279/Ramdom%20Fotos/IMG_3159.jpg)
Thank you very much Adam :)
You really put some thought into this and I am looking forward to our next chat when I will have some further questions as to the history and what remains of it at your place. I must really say that Mr. Johnson got in my good books for the "Get any books you want, now and always, and send the bill to me. I count the expense mighty little compared to the benefits which are so abundant..." statement :yes

Thanks to all of you who have congratulated me here and thanks also to you Ariel for congratulating me via PM* :)

I have had a very nice celebration with my Mum, grandma, my aunt Imme, my uncles Thomas and Andreas, and my cousin Tim today. It was really cheerful and uplifting and my grandma said with such conviction that she believed that things would get better soon that I am feeling a bit more positive myself about everything :)
The past year has not been a very good one for me. Early in the last year I lost some very precious data of more than 7000 photos of microfilmed newspapers from 1860 to 1865. I cannot say this for certain, but I'm afraid that the loss of this data may partly be responsible for the fact that I have not written and published a book by now. I still hope that the day will come on which the data from the damaged hard drive may be recovered :bang I sent out very many applications but are still on a very minor job only not so much because of the qualifications I was worried about last year but for general lack of job offers in any of the fields where I have been applying. My ill feelings expressed in last years birthday post about the government elected a few days before have pretty much become true and these days they manifest in record low opinion pol results for the ruling parties. I hope that the strong opposition to some of the really bad late decisions of the government (especially with regard to nuclear energy) may result in those decisions being overturned by overturning of the government by early elections over here and... err well right, this is a birthday post thread :lol
Not everything has been bad about the past year of course and it is with great appreciation and gratitude that I look back to those days in the last year which I could spend in the company of fellow GOF members who visited me at my place. Really, you are awesome and brightened up this year quite a bit for me :yes

Now I hope that the next year will have more of this to be so grateful about and especially that it will not continue with frustration caused by the lack of success in my applications and the absence of a the focus in life that a good job provides.
Thank you all!
Year number 27 here I come and I hope that we will get along so well as we could ;)

* And to you Katie. I just saw the congratulations you send me via MSN :)

Not "somewhere" Adam. Your letter will be in a land before time tin box (I got a VHS of LBT 4 in that one originally) in which I keep letters, drawings, and other hand written materials from other land before time fans. The box's content is of a very high personal value to me and I am glad that I have something from your hand too now :)

Aye, that would be one of my candle blowing wishes (and I know one is not supposed to tell those but having in mind that when we (talking to you too of course Gustav ;)) meet again will be more up to our own abilities and schedules rather than some providence I don't think there is any harm in that) :birthday
Quote
"When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"
Couldn't help that one :lol

Thank you Daddytops2009, Littlefoot, and Anna too :)
I hope that the coming year will be more according to plans and hopes than the last one was. If that was to be I might learn some basics of your native tongue Littlefoot so we might be able to talk at least a little Spanish hermano en mente ;)
Seeing the approaching 150 years anniversary events in the US I also very much hope to be able to visit the US in the next summer. With the sheer number of historical places Virginia would be particularly interesting to me. Who knows, perhaps we might meet too Anna? But this is all extremely uncertain as I don't know if indeed I will have the means to visit the US next summer though by the pressure of events of great interest to me that will once missed never be possible to make up for again there is a much higher drive to go next year than there was in the years past.
Above all on top of the to do list is of course the necessity to find a real job. I intend to apply at some American institutions in Germany (seeing that I will apparently never get the worker visum for the US which I applied for back in the first days of June and never heard of again, not even in response to my questions about it :().

Hi Malte. Sorry this is a few days late. I’ve had numerous real-life distractions lately, and I’ve also been busy working on a little gift for you (which ended up being considerably more elaborate than I had originally planned :p). I’ll get to that in a minute, though. First I wanted to give you well-wishings of good health and luck in finding an enjoyable and worthwhile job in the coming year and beyond, as well as thanks for your outstanding job as an admin on the GOF and for being such a good friend (sorry about my continued inability to figure out chat programs :oops).

My gift speaks for itself. Hope you like it! :smile

Thank you raga and LettuceBacon&Tomato for your congratulations :)
I'm having a "long" birthday so to speak. Today I'm going to see my dad for the first time since my birthday and we are going to have a little celebration too. The "advantage" when parents don't live together is that there is more of a birthday period than a birthday which offers a lot more suspense and joyful anticipation (the English language really lacks a good equivalent to the word "Vorfreude") :lol

It came down to four presents. First there was the letter itself of course which I will keep with my other letters from the hands of friends and fellow LBT fans.
Then there was this present which counts twice for being at the same time a very, very beautiful handmade figure and also a funny joke which made me laugh out loud (and laughter is a very beautiful gift):
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh475/Malte279/Birthday%20Presents/IMG_3193.jpg)
Shorty Bonaparte has found a place of honor on the topmost board of my LBT collection in front of the snow-globe Iris. Here is another picture:
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh475/Malte279/Birthday%20Presents/IMG_3191.jpg)
The joke which Iris has picked so properly (aware as she is of my interest in history) is that the name "Shorty" relates so well to the many stories about Napoleon Bonaparte being allegedly a small person who was named "little corporal" by his men.
By the way Iris, I'm wondering if perhaps when you were at my place you noticed the books about Napoleon on my boards and if this may have influenced your Shorty Bonaparte? In any case I found it proper to take some more pictures of him with a "special background" :p
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh475/Malte279/Birthday%20Presents/IMG_3183.jpg)
And with the joke also comes the fourth of the gifts namely this most awesome chance for a short history lecture which anyone who knows me is sometimes involuntarily exposed to... sorry about that (for the involuntary part) :oops
The truth is that Napoleon Bonaparte was by no means particularly small. With 169 centimeters he was slightly above the average size of 167 in France around that time. There are some reasons for the rumors about Napoleon's shortness. One is of course the nickname "little corporal". However, the "little" in that name is more of an expression of affection rather than actual commenting on his size (by the way, "corporal" is also a rank Napoleon never held as after his military school education he was taken to the army as a lieutenant right away rather than being promoted from any non-commissioned officer rank). Another reason for Napoleon being taken for small is that on many pictures showing him with soldiers he looks distinctly smaller than most other people. However, these pictures usually depict him with his guard and in order to be admitted to that elite force a man had to reach a minimum size way above the average (I think 180cm). Beside all these over-sized men beside whom he is most frequently depicted Napoleon cut a small figure. Propaganda from other countries too may have strengthened the idea of him being undersized to ridicule him (there are many British cartoons of the time in which a giant John Bull faces a Napoleon the size of a mosquito or a little dog).
Thank you for all this Iris, you really made my day! :)

I'm glad it finally got to you! and that you got the joke, too :p

I was not influenced by your books, and I knew that napoleon wasn't actually short. The idea actually kind of came from Tim (having littlefoot making short jokes at ducky), which I combined with history :p I'm glad you like it! :smile

To quote one of the farwalkers from LBT VII (and I'm quoting from memory after not having seen the movie in many years, so forgive me in case the wording might not be 100% accurate):

Hilarious figure, Iris! :lol: The hat is terrific!

And Malte, I had recently read that Napoleon's supposedly small stature was in fact a misconception, but I hadn't heard about how the myth originated. I for one found your little history lecture quite interesting and informative. :yes

I did that photopaper print of the picture you made for me Pangea :)
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh475/Malte279/Birthday%20Presents/IMG_3204.jpg)
In my collection your picture will be right beside another LBT picture which I printed five times back in December to have one for each of us who was at my place then and each of which had been signed by each of us (Tim, Iris, Jason, Gustav, and me).

By the way, I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned how great (and beautifully organized!) your LBT collection looks. :wow I’m proud that something I made is now a part of it. :DD

And go ahead, raga! Double the honor! :lol: Maybe you could print the card out, and then print the second picture I made on the other side. :idea

It's a special birthday, too: the day of the month is the same as his age, so that makes this your golden birthday, Malte! I don't know whether golden birthdays are a regional thing (like how schnappszahl birthdays are more emphatically celebrated in Germany than in the U.S.), but in any case, congratulations! :D (Sorry I didn't have a card prepared for you this year. :oops)

Also, I found out that golden birthdays are sometimes known as star birthdays…so, in LBT terms, I guess this would be your star star day! :p

Post by: Malte279 on September 27, 2011, 06:28:45 PM
Thanks to all of you for your congratulations. I really, really appreciate them a lot :yes
My birthday (by time over here it ended some 15 minutes ago) was altogether a regular workday, but I am looking forward to the weekend when I will be able to celebrate with my family :)
I was lucky that when yesterday (the day before my birthday I mean) my phone accu ran out and the recharger broke and an older recharger of the same kind that should have worked did not I found that I could recharge the phone via a usb cable over my laptop. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to receive the many friendly calls from my folks and I would have sorely missed those calls.

It's a special birthday, too: the day of the month is the same as his age, so that makes this your golden birthday, Malte! I don't know whether golden birthdays are a regional thing (like how schnappszahl birthdays are more emphatically celebrated in Germany than in the U.S.), but in any case, congratulations!
There is no official tradition of any kind over here linked to the day in the month corresponding to the age. But official tradition or not, I surely appreciate that correspondence and always liked the number 27 for being my birthday (gee, I actually put my birthdate in my name here though I would always feel odd if someone in a talk called me Malte279 rather than just Malte :lol).

I know there have been some rough times, but I hope you take this time to celebrate how special and important you are to the world and us!
Aye, altogether it has been kind of a rough year with many things broken (aforementioned cell phone recharger being the most recent in an annoyingly long row), but it has also been a year with great highlights such as getting to teach at the Volkshochschule (adult education center), visiting Iris for the new years days, and of course those awesome recent days with Gus, Jay, and Iris in Sweden. Everoptimistic as I tend to be I am hopefull for the next year to see some change for the better with regard to my job status and living conditions.
Brushing some of the rust from the IRON so to speak :p

Again, thanks to all of you. You are awesome :yes

It's still your birthday here, so I hope that allows this to count.

With wisdom and love,
Littlefoot does guide.
With friends deep in peril,
He won’t run and hide.

Cera doesn’t back down,
When there is trouble.
She addresses the issue,
And works on the double.

Kind and thoughtful,
A gentle friend too.
Who else could it be,
But Ducky through and through?

There when he’s needed,
Careful to the core.
Petrie couldn’t be more loyal;
Friends are worth fighting for.

Though quiet is Spike,
Many thoughts abound.
If you have a dilemma,
A solution may be found.

At the heart of this sanctum,
We celebrate one of fame,
As if you look inside of him,
Can’t you see the forum’s name?

Happy birthday, sir.

Hello, mister administrator. While I understand we do not have any relations outside this forum whatsoever, I still feel compelled to bring the following matter to your attention. I must say I'm surprised that a person of your intelectuall caliber still partakes in such displays of sentimenality, repetitiveness and superstition (let's not kid ourselves) that are birthday threads. It tarnishes your image and that of the whole forum, and in order to increase the level of discussion, as well as make a generally more comfortable atmosphere to ensure the staying of our prominent and cultured members, I suggest shutting down this particular sub-forum, as well as the Party Room (visit one after a party is over!)Fridge (what a preposterous name!), and those irritating dinosaur smilies (not so much for their expression, but for their anatomical vagueness that offends any member with palaeontological inclinations, and those are quite a few on a forum like this one). So, farewell, administrator, and don't take this the wrong way.


































































Because I am kidding.

All the best for your birthday. Stay true to yourself, and happiness will come. Ich wunsche dich zu freuen und alles, was dich zur Freude bringt, oder bringen soll ;), mein lieber Freund.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to sending you those things I got in Gettysburg like I said I would. I'm kinda struggling to figure out what I want to write on that last postcard, so I'd like to ask a quick question. (I'm already sure I know what the answer will be, but it'll make me feel better to hear it from you.) You don't mind what I decide to write down, right? Not even something related to Bionicle? (It's what I currently have in mind, since I'm the resident Bionicle fan.)

Hopefully, I'll have it in the mail sometime next week.

Post by: Malte279 on September 28, 2013, 04:40:26 AM
Thank you all very much for your congratulations and kind wishes :)
I complied to your favor request David and had a good time yesterday. Though I admit the first somewhat "positive" aspect of the day was somewhat vicious. I'm currently in a school internship for the university for which I would have had to be around school from 8am to about noon. However, not only were the two teachers ill whose classes I would have attended but the supply teachers as well (schools are probably the worst breeding ground for epidemics apart from hospitals here in Germany ;)) in any case I could leave at 10am already and did some organizational work for the VHS (the adult education center where I am working) where I even got a present from the head of the foreign language department (she is a very kind person).
In the afternoon both of my parents visited me and we had some cake (one I had baked and one my Mum had brought along). I got among other a new backpack (the zipper of my old one was broken, but you will hardly ever see me anywhere outside without wearing my bagpack ;)), some good clothes I had wished and a new frying pan (the teflon from the old one is pretty much gone). At my age one has mostly "useful" stuff on the wishlist, the kind one would not have appreciated so much as a kid :lol
In the evening I went to some friends and we continued playing a fantasy pen and paper RPG in the process of which one elve from our group came close to murdering the scald whom I am playing (that scald will never understand why the elve doesn't like him, nor does the player of said scald :rolleyes:). On sunday there will be another celebration with my grandma, aunt, uncle and two cousins of mine.

You don't mind what I decide to write down, right? Not even something related to Bionicle?
Oh please don't worry too much Chronicler. It is that it is written by you as a fellow GOF member that would make it special. If you want to, you could also just give me your autograph, or congratulations. There is absolutely no need for you to come up with a rhetorical masterpiece along the lines of the Gettysburg address (but of course you can quote it if you want to ;)).

I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days for a good opportunity to send my gift in the mail, but the good news is that I'm now ready to send it. On that last postcard, I've decided to simply write a brief note that I have relatives who actually fought at the Battle of Gettysburg (though you might already know that, if you read my latest email nearly a month ago). You also said you wanted my address so you could send me something, so I wrote it on a sticky-note (the backside to be safe, I wrote yours on the front for offline reference). Finally, just because I felt like demonstrating that I'm the resident Bionicle fan, I'm including a second sticky-note on which I wrote something interesting.

I'll let you know when it's in the mail and on its way.

Post by: Malte279 on September 28, 2014, 05:25:29 AM
Thank you all very, very much. I appreciate your congratulations a lot :yes
The last week gave me quite a downer since I was told that I may not keep the job I was so ecstatic (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=6787.4780) to get.
They told me that it was only because of lacking "job-experience" while in the same breath admitting that they had known that from my CV. Since they also say (even upon direct request for any problems or mistakes on my part) that there was nothing wrong with my work I can only guess that they may have found someone with long work experience who was not available at the time of my application.
I may still work there to the end of october. I'm back to applying however and am really hoping for a new job or else it will be a cold winter (literally and figuratively).
Thank you all for your well wishes, it means a lot to me :)

Looking back at the year past it is a bit of a mixed picture. I have had some really very dark times last winter and while the presentations I hold really give me a lot in terms of spirit and sheer joy, the failure of some projects (not enough people signing up for my excursion to Waterloo to take place) and most of all the continued lack of success with my applications in combination with a frequent treatment of applicants like they were beggars is taking a toll.
On the other hand the past year has been one of immense creative activity and exploring of new shores and getting to know more people.
I am curious to see what the next year will bring.

Happy Birthday Malte! I have so many fond memories of conversations we've had together over the years.

I also remember when I was a much younger and newer user, I left a cryptic message about "quitting everything, including the forum" due to depression and he emailed me to make sure everything was all right. It was the first time someone online had ever gone out of their way to check on me, I didn't even know that was a thing that could happen over the internet. And I've never said it, but that gesture had a huge impact on me at the time and helped me get over a really rough patch in my life.

So thank you, Malte, I hope you're having a wonderful birthday! :celebrate :birthday :celebrate
