P.S. If you have a video camera and you can and want to bring it, please do because only one of the lemons has a video camera (and it's not very good), and it's kinda necessary to have one (or more) for a music video. We do have regular photo cameras though.

No! It is abosolutely not copying! We've just.. uh.. been inspired

I can't remember what this post was supposed to be about

There was another purpose for this post, Lemon 3 mentioned it earlier, but  it has completely slipped my mind.

So.

What do you guys say to an epic game of Twister? Like, one with multiple blanket things with the dots (what are those called?) and a lot of awesomeness?



We hung flyers up in the high school. Also, I might not be able to come, depending on if I can convince my parents to leave Wisconsin early or not. ): And twister is not fun (the mat thing gets crumpled and some of us are wearing skirts!), we also nixed the game of risk.



How DARE you diss Twister! It is one of the best games ever invented, and helps people learn right from left, and hands from feet. That is why you wear socks--it's supposed to be played with socks, it even says on the mat, and . . . oh, yeah. Well, if France came, he wouldn't mind.


ALSO, if you go to our school (North or South Campus) pleaaase come say hi!
Our first hour is Spanish, and in the morning we hang out near the world map/flags posters. You'll know us when you see us, and we'd lovelovelove to meet some more fans!!

World Conference

Okay! So, today we were walking through town cause we wanted to and we hung a flyer up in Citadel Games. We asked the worker if we could use one of the rooms for a while (1:00-2:30). It's really perfect for a World Conference, and it's well within walking distance of the park. Much closer than the school and the library, and if anyone else is there, they will be fellow nerds instead of..library people or something.

Citadel Games is sooo cool.

Hasta la pasta!

P.S. Our Germany has said that she doesn't want to be apart of this madness, so we'll need a Germany.
But, if no one is able to be Germany I think it would be pretty funny if Italy took over the conference cause Germany was "sick".  Our Germany has said she's only coming for a couple hours (party pooper). So whatever. 

...pasta?

Okay, so we were all discussing and we came to a conclusion.

When we all meet up at the park, to identify/locate everyone participating in Hetalia Day, once you get there you MUST shout Paaassssssstttttttttttaaaaaaaa~!! as loud as possible. Then, we shall gather you up and get you introduced to everyone already there. If you happen to be the first one there, which I doubt you will be, just hang out or something til someone else comes shouting pasta.


ALSO make sure you comment! We need to know what you guys think too. And if you are for sure able to come. And check back often. We have updates ALL the time. thankyou :)

(Also also, if you happen to go to our school, don't be afraid to come say hi!  It probably won't be very hard to spot the one girl in school who wears a flower in her hair every day and her lovely companions C:)

Our flyers are gone :C

TOL

So I checked on our flyers after school today, and they were both gone. Either someone stole them or a teacher took them down, but either way, they're MIA and we'll have to put some more up later.

Also, we have a very rough estimate of ten people coming now!
We have another friend working with us (though she's not technically part of the team because we said so) who we'll call Nekonekomeowmeowface.. Well not really, but she said it started with Neko so we'll call her that.

We've planned a few more activities, so give us a little yay/nay and add some more suggestions, please? C:
-The Pony Game for ice breaking (we'll explain it later)
-Caramelldansen contest (see who can go the longest!)
-Other dance contest
-Risk (I'm taking over your vital regions..)
-A "world conference" that might be held in the library if we can use the room. (People with no costume can put a nametag on their forehead. No exceptions.)
-"What am I" game. More forehead nametags, ask yes/no questions until you know what you are.

Hasta la pasta~!

Possible Picnic List/Allergy List

Well, it seems that the picnic is a popular idea! Yes, everyone can bring something to the picnic if you want to, but you also don't have to if there are complications (e.g. you cook like a certain bushy-eyebrowed man, don't know what to make, have limited access to a place to make something, etc.). Also, you don't have to make it. Bought things are also welcome.

So far there will probably be:

Sandwiches
Spoons, forks, sporks(? maybe), knives (aaaaaaall plastic)
Cupcakes (*fistpump* YES :{D)
Hot Chocolate
Animal Crackers (the frosting-covered kind)
Rice Cakes
Melon Bread (possibly)




or MickeyD's if it's too cold.

If you are for sure bringing something don't spike it please~ just tell us in the comments below, or use the email address. Thanks :]

ALLERGIES-----

Ah, horrible things =.=" We don't want any allergic reactions to any of the amazing food that's gonna be here, so if you have an allergy to anything (yeah, pretty much anything) please notify us in the comments, or the email is open. Pleasepleasplease reply to this part, it will help a loooooot, and help you guys stay safe ;u;

This doesn't necessarily mean you have to not put something on the list (when there is one) in your food, it mostly means tell us if your food contains something on the list. Okay?


Here, I'll start it off:

Cats (though hopefully there will be none in the food?)
Peppers

Meet the Team!

The Original Lemon decided to make this entry, because she thought it was a little creepy that the people planning this were so..anonymous.
Also, please send your RSVPs to amandajohnson@embarqmail.com so we don't miss your comment! (or if you can't comment)

LEMON 1:
This is kinda me, the mod with the blog under her email address. I found out about Hetalia Day and was instantly like "Oh my gosh, that would be super cool to have one here!" but was a little too shy to make a blog all by myself--hey, three heads are better than one, right? More ideas, more fun. It really means a lot that other people are actually coming. Thank you so much, I'm really excited. You can call me Lemon 1, AKA the indecisive one who wants to be every single character for Hetalia Day (which totally isn't happening). There's a possibility I might be Lithuania. Or else Monaco. Or maybe Romano, or Pirate!Spain, or Finland, or Russia, and you probably get it. I've lived in Minnesota for seven years, and just a few hours ago it was confirmed that I still have an accent, according to the Minnesotans that were over. I am a writer, though it's probably hard to tell, and I like to paint, and really like to draw. My top five favorite Hetalia characters (in no order, if you make me choose, I will seriously frying pan you) are: Lithuania, Poland, America, Spain, Romano, Prussia, Hungary, Russia, and that was seven, my bad. I can't stand wearing turtleneck shirts, and don't normally like people hugging me unless my hands are cold. I like to help people? Usually. Interpret that however you want.  Anyway, there is a broken key on this keyboard, which makes it rather difficult to type, so this is probably the end of my intro paragraph. Thanks, again, guys :]

LEMON 3:
Hey everybody! I'm Lemon Number Three or just Lemon 3. I'm going to be dressing up as Poland (school uniform version) for Hetalia Day. I have A LOT in common with Poland, which can be a good or bad thing. Although my favorite color is not pink, it is orange.  I have an oreo addiction, kinda. I love to draw and sing and play games. I love to listen to music (NOT justin beiber, miley cyrus, jonas brothers, etc.) Fat cats pwn. Skinny cats are losers. (TOL was the original lemon, even though L1 came up with the username) I love to read and watch anime, mostly Hetalia. I have horrible procrastination problems. I have brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. I'm related to a bunch of gingers. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I'm indecisive and have opinion changes all the time. I love rollercosters, not wimpy ones. I seriously am not good at coming up with things to say about me. Is this too long? too short? I dont know! ugh. I'm currently wanting some sour gummy worms. I completely don't get handegg (america calls it football) and I love how if  you get a text and you don't want to talk to whoever texted you, you can just pretend you didn't have your cellphone at the moment. Is there anything else I should add? Oh yeah! And mountain dew is WAY better than mellow yellow.

THE ORIGINAL LEMON:
I was probably supposed to be Lemon 2, based on the others' numbers, but since I've been using the nickname "Lemon" for about two years now, "Lemon 2" just doesn't fly with me, y'know? Anyway, I'm the youngest of the team, because I'm a summer child, and I do all of the artwork for the blog. The profile picture, banner, flyers? All me, bby. I'm the one with brown hair and a flower, and the green eyes (that are actually hazel but I cheat because..because). I'll be dressing up as Hungary(who guessed?) for Hetalia Day, in her historical "Children's Day" outfit. My favorite Hetalia characters are Lithuania, Hungary, and Prussia, (I see what'cha did thar.) and I have six fancharacters that I actually use. If you want to get technical, I've made about 15. My hobbies are drawing, reading, and being a total geography/history nerd. I've memorized one heckuvalot of capitals and flags, and I love taking my History textbook home just to read it. I'm also very interested in languages, and along with learning Spanish in school, I'm trying to teach myself Lithuanian. It's such a beautiful language. Also, this is all my fault, seeing as I introduced the other two to Hetalia. See you at Hetalia Day *wink wink nudge nudge*
Also, my favorite color is yellow. Remember that. (You can shorten The Original Lemon to Tol[like a toll booth] if you want, it's kinda long)

----

Lemon 3 and The Original Lemon agreed that you can't get a really good feel for someone unless someone else describes them. So, we decided to write a little about eachother, too C:<

Lemon 1's opinions pending. Tol will edit this when she gets the goods :U

Lemon 3 on...
Lemon 1: Lemon 1 is very nice. She would never ever hit someone. Even a slug bug. She always has to make sure her(and others) grammar is correct. She is VERY detailed in her drawings, which makes them very pretty. She is quiet, by default. She can't be loud even if she tries (she thinks she can, but she's wroongg~). She has a lot of pretty skirts~
The Original Lemon: Tol is a very good drawer (that looks like I wrote drawer) and she doesn't even try. She naturally awesome. She WAS the original lemon. Steve wears Tol pajamas. She can give you the creepy eyes if you disobey her dictator queen power. She is quiet, but she's good at comebacks. And she knows all the computer slang. She was the one that got me into Hetalia. And she likes milk. A loot~

The Original Lemon on...
LEMON 1: She's a total perfectionist and very very very indecisive. She's also my brother, but that's an inside joke. And her drawings are so good it makes me mad because I want to be the very best(like no one ever was...) but I'm not >:U
LEMON 3: Can't sing. Nonono. But I can't either, so it's okay. Very Poland-ish. AND I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER (more inside jokes hurrhurr)

Lemon 1 on...
First of all, you two, I'm offended. I've been known as Lemon in my household (and by other people) since I was just a wee little thing, but I don't mention ANY of my nicknames to you guys because . .  well . . most of them are embarrassing. You guys have officially hurt my feelings. You do that a lot, you know.
LEMON 3: Maybe I'm a softie, or otherwise tone deaf, but I think she can sing the best out of all of us. She has nice outfits and is good at making people laugh. But she needs to work on staying focused on school-related things when we're in groups. She is the tallest out of us three. I find her drawings to be cute, though she doesn't seem to agree usually. Her handwriting is also very nice.
TOL: I think she sings good, too. Her drawings are also cute, especially the ones she drew on my mini whiteboard (I'm sorry I wiped your face away with my thumb, brother D:} ). She can draw a picture so fast and have it turn out nice in PEN, which is, like, an unknown concept to me. She knows a lot of Harry Potter spells, which is cool. She claims she can't cook, but from my point of view, it's yet to be proven o.ô


. . . wait . .  was I supposed to put this at the top were it says pending? 

Yes, you were. But I'm too lazy to fix it c:
And if you don't tell us anything, you can't expect us to know it :U
-still TOL no matter what you say C:

 Figured you'd say that. :] Why is this still italicized??
Okay, better. Do you want a list of all the things I'm known for? It would be long, embarrassing and fourteen years worth of stuff. Not exactly something easy to find an opportunity to talk about. :I

Activities List (sort of)

Hello, all! This is just a short update before the real stuff: Us lemons have been collaborating over here for a while, and so far there are for sure going to be a Poland and a Hungary and an America attending. And another Poland (Femneko!Poland, if I remember right), a China or Japan, and Chibitalia. Woo hoo this is getting awesomer and awesomer :{D

UUUUPDATED~
Okay, onto the real subject. There are a lot of awesome things we really wanna do . . but . . sometimes gravity and other things get in the way. Despite setbacks like these, we have still come up with some fun activities. Here's the list:

Caramelldansen Contest- Whoever can dance the Caramelldansen the longest wins! What do they win? A high five We can decide on here, ideas are welcome (as long as they're not too costly).

Other dance contests-It doesn't really matter if you can dance or not. Take me for example: rhythm? I have none whatsoever :]

Risk- . . . Is that the game where you try to get world domination? I'm going to be scared if there's a Russia coming.

"What am I" game. More forehead nametags, ask yes/no questions until you know what you are. Kinda like that one number game, but with objects, instead.

The Question Game- You understand this one, right?

The Norwegian Foot Game- *le wink* You pretty much stand in a circle and touch your feet to other people's, in order, whilst attempting to keep your balance.

The Pasta Game- Have we all heard of Olly-Olly-Oxen-Free (there are various ways to spell it)? If not, it's that one game where there are hiders and one seeker. If we play it will be in the park, and everyone will have to hide in the premises. The seeker will close their eyes and count to a number, then shout "PASTAAAAAAA~" and the hiders will have to make a dash for the designated meeting point without getting tagged by the seeker, who will also be running towards the point (there are different versions of the game, too, and you can suggest yours in the comments). This was a really bad explanation, but oh well.

The Pony Game- Haha, a great game to break the ice with. Throw awkward out the window and have some fun. We're all Hetalia fans, here, right? (it's ironic because I, aka Poland, introduced it to them)

Conference! A wonderful room with pretty walls where we can "sort things out" at Citadel Games.

If there are any games not on the list that you reeeally want to play, give a shout in the comments below :{D

Lemon 1 out.

43 Days!

Hetalia Day in 43 days. Is no one really going to come besides us? Sure, that will be awesome, and not much to keep track of, but spending the day together with other fans we don't know and "breaking the ice" with fun activities would also be nice. Don't you think? If you can't make it, spread the word! Let others join in on the fun in the Brainerd Lakes area!

Oh, and before I forget--the code of conduct. It's best if you follow it if you do plan on coming (though this one is from LA, and I don't think littering is illegal in Brainerd or Baxter, but that may just be my ignorance talking). We, the moderators of this blog, have to ask you to comply to it. So, please do, we don't want to have to kick you out of the fun (or maybe we do, depending on who you are). Really, though, we have to be relatively safe. You can read it in the link below:
http://hetalia-day.com/2010/codeofconduct.html

Hm, this is the first update in September, right? Yeah, school has started for a lot of fans out there, and it  may be difficult, especially if unknowing teachers decide to dump a bunch of homework on that particular weekend. If you come early, you can probably bring some along, if you have your name in your books and stuff. Wouldn't a Hetalia study group be cool (sorry, I'm bird-walking)?

Anyway.

43 days, if you're coming RSVP to any post here, if you're not, please tell others. Thank you!

Lemon 1 out.

 . . . does that sound too bizarre?
