"We're in trouble. ... And now I can't see myself."

For you unaware, Street Fighter 4 is hard. Like... more so than it should be. It took me six tries to beat the end boss (Seth) on 'Easiest' ... Not natural. The only person I seem to be any good at is Vega. I'm not even that good with him. It's more aggravation than is necessary.

I do, however, like that there is a full Japanese track, down to changing the opening song to Japanese. Also, everyone's opening and ending is done in full anime style, which is awesome. The anime style is much nicer than the actual game graphics, though Cammy and Chun-li look nice anyhow. Even with Chun-li's gorilla sized hands.

Got Secret Invasion: Runaways and Young Avengers in the mail today. Skimmed through most of it; still annoyed by how easily Nico and Victor believe Xavin is against them. Also, Teddy is a big whiny baby at the beginning (I blame Yost's writing) and Billy has to pretty much lead him around ilke an overgrown child. There's an obvious, comfortably brother relationship between Tommy and Billy shown, though, which I really like. Most fans tend to have them just short of ripping each other's throats out, even though there's no real evidence of that sort of reaction occuring with them. The closest is in the additional story, where Billy and Tommy go to look for the Scarlet Witch, and they make witty comments at each other.

... Tommy catching a sai out of mid-air is pretty cool though :B

So, I deposited my tax refund in the bank... and come home to the state refund. Dammit, I hate going to the bank, and now I have to take two trips there :| Nice to be back in my comfort zone for my finances, though!

Ever been in a fandom where seemingly everyone has an idea about a character, but you have no clue where they all got the impression? Poland cross-dressing in the Hetalia fandom, for example, or Billy acting like a pms-ing 14-yr old girl in Young Avengers.

Wanna make someone in Punz know Systema. Thinking... Theo? Mostly because he's the last person you'd expect to be capable of dropping you with just a few moves 8D

There is actually official art of Poland cross-dressing. And I think a comic, too. I don't know where off the top of my head, but... yeah. People take it a bit out of hand rotf. Though it's there.

Now... I wonder. In the official art, is he actually cross-dressing because he wants to? Or is he scowling as if it's not exactly his choice (in other words, just there for fangirls to have a character that 'officially' cross-dresses) Not that I'm complaing, I guess, but I just don't see Poland being very overly girly. Kind of like how I don't see the 'sweet innocent' Canada all the fans seem to see.

Fangirling Prussia something awful now :| But, then the history geek in me reminds me that Prussia no longer exists. ... When a country/empire doesn't exist anymore... what happens to the 'person' that is the nation? Do they die?? Do they just fade away? THAT'S INCREDIBLY DEPRESSING ;A;

Uh. No. Poland was really happy about it LOL. I don't think you have to be girly to crossdress ROTF? Though, look at the colors he wears compared to Liet (http://i41.tinypic.com/6puy4k.jpg). I just think he likes it.

In the case of Austria-Hungary... They were married but then had to split up when the country split. ;_; I thought that was pretty tragic. I'm not sure about other countries, though.

Lol, is he really cross-dressing in that? He looks like he's just wearing the same thing Russia does. A long coat, and a scarf. Though I think the colors are jsut a bit girly, lol.

Well, I suppose I'm only wondering because Prussia is just... gone. Like, parts of him were given to Russia and... Poland. Like, what? I mean, yeah, Russia was willing to name the part they got 'Prussia' but... in the end it didn't happen. So, now, Prussia is no more, but... is the 'person' Prussia gone forever? ;A;

(off-topic, but I just did a song meme, and am about to post it. It's Punz based, and totally weird because I kept getting really short songs 8|;;)

nono, he's not crossdressing there. =_=; I meant the colors.

::gets distracted by Finland for a moment:: Ah, the halloween one. Hm, I guess it is kinda telling that he chooses a girly costume. Like how Lithuania tries to point it out, haha.

So the man likes dresses 8D you were right when you said earlier that people take it too far, though.

There's also a picture of all the countries lined up in christmas costumes, and Poland's is the most girly. ;;; lol.
