Which World Country are you?


Nation's name: Lietuvos Respublilka (Republic of Lithuania. Poland calls him "リト," which is "Liet.")
Capital: Vilnius
Language: Lithuanian
Birthday (Independence from Soviet Union): February 16th
National flower: Rue (personal note: its flower language is "regret")
Human name: Toris Laurinaitis
Height: Unknown
Age: 19 (appearance. The nation will celebrate the millennium in 2009)
-Exists as the eldest brother of the three Baltic states,
-Used to be a member of the Teutonic Knights, but established independence as the Kingdom of Lithuania after a rebellion against Christianity
-But was often pursued by German knights hoping to convert them into Christianity. (Note: Lithuania was the last pagan nation of Europe)
-After that, became a commonwealth with Poland and peacefully converted to Christianity.
-But was taken over by Russia after a fight over the annexation/partition of Poland.
-A good-natured person who likes to take care of people, and even though he has the Baltic attribute of being introverted, is the type who will take one into his heart when he gets used to that person.
-But, perhaps it is because of this sort of personality that he holds the infamous record of having the highest suicide rate of the world.
-Loves martial arts and literature. Also, his car is definitely a second-hand car. Is particular about taste, and is known to use many flavours of ketchup and mayonnaise in a day.
------------------
Ahh, sweet little Liet! Lithuania is a people-pleaser, and seemingly a bit of a doormat due to his unfortunate history with Russia. But Lithuania is quite a strong, loyal fellow! (And such a sweetie, ohmygod ;_;)

What Decade Am I?

1930's

You are strong and determined and have what it takes to get through life's storms. You are very helpful to those around you-- be it your friends, your family, or even a neighbor in need. You are a great leader and strong-willed person, and take challenges as a way to better yourself...But you also have a deep sense of warmth and nurturing for those you care about. You are well-rounded and tough because you have to be. You aren't a "diva" but rather a humble person with admirable character. With more hard-working, quality like you, this world would be a much better place. By being able to turn a little into a lot, you know how to make life enjoyable even if it's just through the little things.

Memphis Magical Madness Day 2

You know it was a successfully while night when someone needs to make a doctor's appointment afterwards to recover!

Today was rather quieter with more friends of [info - personal]lady_karelia  coming by for beef and greenbean curry and naans. More wine. Managed to hem [info - personal]lady_karelia 's cloak which [info - personal]calypsobard pinned up for us yesterday. Crochet, and continuing on with the cheese making.

Tomorrow is Beale St

Long Distance Information, Give Me Memphis, Tennessee

I haz Memphis Tennessee

After a 5 hour drive that was nice, good weather and uneventful.

And a great time at [info - personal]lady_karelia 's tonight. We've had the most wonderful Indian dinner courtesy of her husband who is a fabulous cook! Pappadums, rice, vegetable curry, paneer (indian cheese) curry, chicken curry. Add some wine. Some wonderful friends like [info - personal]calypsobard and socially_awkwrd as well as[info]blue_paris and frineds who are totally great of [info - personal]lady_karelia 's family and it's been a perfect evening.

I'm learning how to make feta cheese which is not as difficult as I thought it could be.

Listening to Gotan Project playing currently and working on some crochet as we finish the evening with butterbeers.

Can't ask for a better vacation.

Tomorrow proves to be just as good
