Seizure The Moment
(I am with my boyfriend at my very first anime convention. While in gothic costume, we head over to a chain of restaurants for breakfast. We are ambushed.)
Random girl: “Hi there! Neat outfits.”
Me: “Thanks! I just threw it together quickly for the convention.”
(The girl looks puzzled for a moment and then hands me a flyer. My boyfriend tries to stop me, but it’s too late.)
Random girl: “Do you want us to pray for you? You seem like a sweet girl.”
Me: “That’s okay. I prayed at church this morning.”
(At this point we are surrounded by six or seven of the flyer welding church goers.)
Random girl: “Oh, I insist! Let us just do a short little prayer for you!”
(They all join hands around us and start praying loudly. People nearby are starting to stop and stare.)
Me: *whispering to my boyfriend* “What do we do?!”
Boyfriend: “I don’t know. You got us into this.”
Me: “Okay, don’t freak out.”
(I suddenly drop to the floor and start thrashing around like I’m having a seizure while sobbing in pain. The church group freaks out and runs off as my boyfriend helps me up.)
Boyfriend: “I knew I loved you for a reason!”
(Apparently some fellow convention goers saw it, because during the next few days, I had people wanting to take pictures with the ‘Seizure Girl’.)
