Nephew and Eurovision

Me and Fin were arguing yesterday and Sealand was right there too. Poor kid, his aunt and mom were still kinda play-arguing, but I thought it would still be traumatizing or something. He seems fine though. He laughed all the way through it. Finland's not mad or anything either. I'm not sure what we were actually arguing about, but I won? I think? Maybe...

Eurovision's happening again. Mr Denmark's not too thrilled that his band isn't going to finals. (I don't like them much. The song is lame, and the guitarist is really creepy. But Sweden's guy is just as bad in a different way.) But Finland and Iceland are going to finals! That's good. I'm going to get a really really big Icelandic flag and cheer on Ernir. He's got a fun song. It sounds like a country love song. Tlior's not going to finals either, so maybe he'll go with me to cheer on our brother. Denmark doesn't know I'm going to Eurovision, but that's okay. He doesn't need to know where I am 24/7. He hasn't known where I've been for most of this month, and he hasn't had a heart attack or gotten an ulcer, so he's okay. I think he is anyway. Haven't asked. Maybe Fin will let me borrow my nephew so we can hang out, but I don't know if the kid would even want to go. Seems like he's only interested in videogames. Go Iceland! Rah rah rah! (I like Fin's song lots too! It's pretty!)

Hi again!













Awwww, somebody was having a bad dream. Poor baby!



I met some weird people too! They're almost like Matthias, Gilbert, and Arthur, but not. Cause they're girls, and the guys aren't girls. 



This is from the Christmas party. There are three big important rules to follow when you're in a snowball fight. 
1. Don't side with Denmark.
2. Don't side against Finland.
3. Don't pack the snow into ice.



Then we met this guy somewhere along the lines in Arthur's house. We couldn't find the old man, so I guessed this was like his cousin or something. Cause if you look, he kinda looks like him. Kinda. Only he said his name was Captain Kirkland. Sure he looks pretty spiffy in his pirate-y outfit, but seriously, who names their kid Captain? Was he named after the cereal-guy or a captain his parents couldn't remember the name of? Maybe it was a captain with a bad name, like a really really ridiculous one. Or! Maybe his momma didn't know who the father was, and still wanted to name him after whoever sired him, and she was hoping it was a captain!

Also! The reason why my brothers didn't make it into the pictures when they were kids, is because I'm using Tlior's computer, cause he's nice about stuff even though Mr Denmark kinda ya know... banned me from the outside world for awhile. It's okay though! He forgets stuff now! And Ellie gave me some great tips on how to sneak out!

So both my brothers say I'm not really in trouble. Tlior specifically said that I should tell him next time I decided to do something like this, so he can make sure I don't accidentally incinerate someone's skull, on accident.

huh

I keep thinking I'm sensing impending doom, but no one has really had a problem with what we're doing. I'm pretty sure we've told them we're taking pictures, but I feel as though we're being way more discrete than we should be if they're aware of everything. Kinda like how you have to be sneaky with getting Santa's picture sometimes because he doesn't always want his picture taken.

Note to self/everyone: if you're worried about forgetting something, spend more time trying to remember it than worrying. It distracts you long enough that you will forget.

The new country in on the rampage (Japan is calling it this), is very nice and fun. I have no idea what her name is.  She even said a shortened version so I could remember. I totally forgot. So I'm just going to listen to everyone else and see if they say her name. We're off to Switzerland next.

?

The one responsible for the picture has been apprehended and detained! I don't know how Ellie managed that while still getting us to Italy 'on time'. It hadn't even been a full day before she called and announced her victory. It takes longer than that even in Alfred's movies... I want to be able to hunt someone down that quickly just in case something like Taken ever happens. Sure I'd probably have been the one to kidnapped, but for a different reason because everyone has drilled into me never to trust the French. (Especially blond naked ones, because if I ever see one of those; I talk to the nearest armed adult immediately to remove them or mortally wound them if they won't go quietly.)

Kiku said Ellie and Yao already met the person. They're a nation too,  so now they're just going to join up with us for pictures and fun. I'm meeting so many new people all at once I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to remember anyone's name or their country. There will be more people to the list tomorrow, including whoever Ellie's found. Let's hope they're nice.

o.o

Wait, this just came up in my random thoughts. Just how much of us is human and how much is nation? If I drink water in Greenland or eat something that grew there, is that self-cannibalism? Am I eating myself? What does that say about Alfred then? Because he would be doing that all the time. Is there going to be any adverse affects to the actual nations instead of just the people they represent? Or like the land, because a nation is the people, the land, and everything else.

Does that mean Alfred is a super-cannibal because he gets things imported from all over? What does that make trade then? Was Arthur a former super-cannibal because of being the British Empire? This would be way easier if we were all just elves or something.. . At least I know us being nations doesn't connect us directly to our people in some ways and in others it does.

Like if your people are starting a war, you know it.

If there's a plague or huge illness going on, you know that too.

If you accidentally set fire to the kitchen, your people won't know about that. (unless it makes the news)

If someone makes a new recipe, you might know if you're paying attention, but usually you'll just get it through the grapevine like everyone else.

I don't know if I should ask about the cannibal thing. o.o

China and Japan

(I couldn't post this until the above mentioned were not around.) You can't even tell Yao and Kiku are brothers. They have a similar facial structure, but they are so polite to each other! Even my brothers aren't this polite! Are they aliens?

I like them though. They are very nice.

Yao tried to explain to me with a really really long explanation what a communist was, and it was really confusing. He was very enthusiastic about it, and he lost me. He said something about lots of stuff about government and politics, and and, I don't know what else. Wasn't it some kind of animal? That's what I thought.

Kiku cleared it all up really fast though. He pointed at this weird thing and said that it was a communist(and to stop arguing over it). Apparently, a communist, is a 'panda'. I took a picture of it since it is a very strange creature indeed. It eats bamboo instead of hamburgers, and helps Yao around the house with things sometimes. Even weirder, it can talk. Not like how my boss talks (he is a polar bear) in like mind-bear-speak, but, this panda thingy can talk like a person. It gave me a big hug! ^^


They called it a bear too. It is not a bear. I'm certain it's not a bear. Pandas are very strange creatures. Like those taco-dogs Alfred has. Very strange indeed.

PS. Elizaveta said she had people to track down the random camera person for her to save time. Isn't that kinda scary? How can they know what she saw?

Oo-rah

Heh, that's something Alfred says sometimes. I don't know what it means. But Yao made the reverse spell really fast and sent us on our way. (Ellie said that since he helped us, we're going to get him last.) The plan changed somewhat since Kiku's now in on it. He's got a bunch of costumes we're going to shove the people into so they'll look just like they did when they were little.

Ellie said someone ran past us and snapped a picture of Gilbert. I didn't even notice. Was there really someone running? It might be a bad thing that his picture got taken since we don't know if it was by someone like us or a normal person. If it was by the latter, we might be in trouble. Like, a lot. Not necessarily because people don't know about us, sure they do, but regular humans put things on the news. And if everyone knows about our shrinking escapades, that'll ruin the surprise and- 'cause us to need lots of rope' says Ellie. (Anyone else not know what goes on in this woman's head? What's the rope for??) So not only will be shrinking and unshrinking people, but we will be on the lookout for the random people who took Gilbert's picture. I didn't see them at all, so Ellie and Kiku will be taking care of that part. So we headed East and then South. We got Russia and Belarus and Ukraine, and we're currently staying on a plane in Moldova waiting to take off so we can start working on tracking down Turkey and Greece. I waved at some of the countries, but Ellie says not to talk. I guess she really was paying attention to Mr Denmark... oh well, I at least got to see them. We have to avoid the Baltics and Nordics(cause, yeah) for now. Lithuania would possibly keep his mouth shut about what we're up to, but Latvia might blurt it out randomly and Estonia might try and tell the Nordics just because he thinks he is one. Wait... that's what Ellie said, but do I know those guys? That kinda sounds familiar.... Especially about someone who's not Nordic and thinks he is. Wasn't he that scary guy from Legoland? Something about Legoland...
