Whoa. You played the Trigun theme? That so rules, man. I just listened to it online; THAT must have taken a long time to learn.

Yeah, I spent a while doing it. Since we only had 90 seconds for our skit, I actually cut it to about half. But it still was FUN. :)

We had a church meeting a couple of weeks ago, and one of the new members to our small group brought his daughter along; she looked to be about fifteen or so. After the meeting, as we were walking out the front door, I noticed she was wearing a Trigun T-shirt (I was behind her). I was like "Whoa! You know about Trigun? You are so cool!" I told her about you, and how you get me to watch anime sometimes and how rare it is to find people that, like, know about cool stuff. She smiled at me in a way that was like, 'I'm flattered, but I think you're a freak.'

But I wanted to emphasize that she wasn't a nerd or anything for liking stuff like Trigun, but that I thought she was really COOL for it. She seemed kind of, well, you know, different, and I wanted to encourage her by telling her that I though she was really cool. I wanted her to know that there were people out there who think that people like her are cool, not weird.

Haha!

Hey, could you please tell her about Fans for Christ? If you could give her the web address, www.fansforchrist.org that would be great.

You know, after thinking about it for a moment, it would appear that her reaction, as my words characterize it, 'I'm flattered, but I think you're a freak', seems to me to be a little ironic.
