Anime Kid

I haven't blogged in awhile but this is something I definitely needed to make record of.

I was sitting in a lounge area at my college reading a book when a kid I recognized approached me and started to make conversation. This was a bad thing. Let me tell you why.

I first met the guy in a creative writing class. He's between eighteen and twenty but acts like he's still in Jr. High. He has ADD and loves to tell everyone over and over again that he has it. He's very obnoxious and in the middle of people reading their poems or stories to the class he would start screaming at them that they were stupid and stole those ideas from other people. This kid also really enjoyed anime and manga and was especially obsessed with Ranma 1/2. He would frequent Anime Conventions and always dressed up in the same Cloud costume.

He would also wear this Cloud costume every Thursday to school. Luckily the creative writing class was on Mondays.

This is how the conversation went.

Anime Kid: "Hey man what's going on?" He continues to approach me.

Me: "Not much." I set down my book.

AK: "Did you ever have a Creative Writing class with Mr. Benton?"

Me: Idiot. "Yeah."

AK: "So I do know you."

Me: Idiot "Yeah."

AK: "So did you go to the Anime Convention last weekend?" He sits down on a chair across from the one I'm sitting in.

Me: "No." Idiot.

AK: "Yeah, there was one up in the Woodlands. It was the cons first time but it was pretty good. There was a nice turnout." Waits for a response from me. "I got to go to my first rave too!"

Me: Oh God! "Did you?"

AK: "Yeah man! If you ever want to know how to get a bunch of girls to dance on you, this is how: just go grind up on some random guy and all the girls will want you."

Me: O_O

AK: "Yeah, I started grinding on some guy and the next thing I know I got two fifteen year olds and a twelve year old grinding on me!"

Me: "Uhhh..."

AK: "Well I didn't know she was twelve until Sunday when I saw she had a kid pass."

Me: You shouldn't tell people that! "Uh, that's cool."

AK: "Yeah, I'm gonna try to make it out to A-Kon in Dallas next year."

Me: You say 'yeah' a lot. "I've been there a couple times. It's alright and it's pretty cheap as far as cons go for the hotel and stuff."

AK: "I can't get a hotel. That's too expensive for me. I'm just a stable hand."

Me: STFU "Well it's not that much, just save up."

AK: "Yeah, so what book are you reading?"

Me: "The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett."

AK: "Do you believe in magic?"

Me: "No."

AK: "I do."

Me: "Do you?"

AK: "I have no choice."

Me: ...

AK: "Let's just say this: I have a crazy ex-girlfriend."

Me: Idiot "Ok."

AK: "Let's just say this: I've seen some crazy shit. I used to be Christian...now I don't even know what I am."

Me: Idiot "Alright."

AK: "Yeah, well I gotta get going to class now. Catch you later."

Me: "Later."



That's the end of the story.

I just got done reading Deadeye Dick so that might explain why I wrote this in the format that I did.
