05/12/11(Thu)09:11 No.4456947(Pt 3 of 10) It
would have been creepier, but having been around so many newbs in the
club, I had developed a weeaboo-tolerance. And it’s not like I’d never
said any of those things myself, being an anime fan and all. And
besides, there were more of my friends at the party, so I just politely
answered her questions and spoke to her, but when things got too
extreme, I just moved on. Easy enough. Time passed and I got more into
the community, because I am a massive nerd and my life consists of
either playing video-games, watching/drawing anime or sewing. That is,
between my part-time job and my university work. Meanwhile, N starts
sort of integrating her presence within our group of friends. Not
noticeably at first, but eventually she starts attending the
conventions, going to the screenings, hanging out with us socially, you
get the gist. And although she had her moments of herpderp, for the most
part she was fine. The only things that struck me as odd was the fact
that, aside from dressing in clothes that didn’t suit her frame and were
very obviously too small, was the odd way that she kept referring to
herself as a horse. More specifically, a ‘mare’. Granted, she was
obsessed with horses, but it was that strange obsession that
pre-pubescent girls get about, say, dolphins, or fairies. N replaced
words like ‘boys’ or ‘men’ with ‘colt’ or ‘stallion’, and ‘girls’ or
‘women’ as ‘fillies’ and ‘mares’, and when she’d get mad or annoyed
she’d say things like her ‘ears were flicking down’ or ‘she was going to
bite someone’. Because horses do that, and in her past life she had
been a horse (a psychic had told her).
It was at the end of one
year that I went to an interstate con with a couple of friends, and had
an absolute blast. Also, I met T, and, to my surprise, we hooked up.
Having never really had a significant other before, I was over the moon,
all those goopy feelings you have at young love, etc. |
