I'm not crazy. I'm just a little unwell.
Sep. 24th, 2006 01:05 amComicon was a letdown. The dance was cancelled (WTF), I didn't know anybody there, and I more-or-less just walked in circles for two hours through a very quiet con. So I ended up browsing Mill Ave. with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keichisfuuma and xcerebraledemax in full Dead!Seishirou costume. I kept forgetting I was wearing it until the pain in my scalp reminded me, or until I wondered why I was getting more "WTF" looks than usual.
Annie and I talked to a lady about Jesus for a while. She initially approached us by commenting on my costume, which she then used to segue into her spiel about death and heaven. I do agree with Annie; she was very kind, and there is something incredibly noble about being willing to stand on a college drag street corner with people laughing at you as they pass, and telling it like you think it is anyway. I don't agree with a word she said, though I got a very different vibe off of her than I usually get off of evangelical Christians. She seemed entirely earnest, warm, and non-judgmental. Admittedly I couldn't help but say some jackassy stuff, but I kept a lid on the more scathing comments. (I.E. I did say: "Oh, I know this one! God came down in the form of Jesus and died for our sins.") To be honest I don't know if she did not pick up on the sarcasm, or if she is like I suspect my Spanish teacher was and pretended not to notice. I do find it amusing that the school of thought is that people who have not accepted Jesus into their hearts merely have not heard the "truth" about the Christ story, when all of us have heard it upside down and inside out by now. See Jack Chick for further elaboration.
She did say we have lovely brown eyes, though (and don't we), and she remembered our names when we passed her again. That's a hell of a lot more than I can remember of strangers. It's people like that who remind me that there are people, few and far between, who can love people they have never met before.
I find it amusing that a blow-up doll would, in all seriousness, be advertised as having "three love holes". Large ones, at that. I thought tighter was better.
I am regretting not sticking around at the con to see Eyeshine. I forgot just how much I love Trigun until I saw the DVD boxes on my shelf.
