You Don't See Many Ninjas 'Round These Parts

[l33tminion]

Heading into town on Friday, getting off the train, I saw a girl wearing a blue Naruto-style ninja headband with a musical note on it. This led to the following conversation:
Me: "Hey, I've seen you somewhere before, haven't I?"
Ninja: "Possibly."
*awkward silence*
Me: *realizing that there was really no point to saying that in the first place* "Er... sorry to bother you..."

As it turns out (not entirely unexpectedly), this person was one of the other regulars at anime club. She showed a little after I arrived:
Me: "I knew I recognized you from somewhere. Then again, there can't be that many people running around Boston wearing ninja headbands."
Ninja: "I've run into other people wearing those on the train before."
Me: o_O

So, apparently Boston has a relatively (compared to zero) high number of ninja-filker-Naruto-fans. How interesting.

What else... I've been working on my midterm paper for linear algebra this weekend.

Also, today (yesterday) was t3h K4t's 20th birthday, so there was a party for that. Happy birthday, K4tz0r (although I doubt you're reading this; no matter, I told you in person, too).

Yeah, geeze -- Are there just SO MANY PEOPLE willing to talk to a girl wearing a ninja-filker-Naruto headband that she just can't be chatty to YOU? Wow. Yeah, well, if she chatted it up to YOU than she'd have to talk to EVERYONE who walked up to her and THEN where would the world be?!?

Query?

You seem to be reading something into this whole story that just isn't there...

All the silences and lack of *squee*ing -- man, when someone recognizes my Megatokyo bag I just talk and talk and talk to them! I am seriously happy to rant on with people like yourself, so the fact she stood there just looking at you like "...yes?" was odd to me.

*shrugs* Yeah, but I didn't comment on the headband, I was just like "don't I recognize you from somewhere", so that was a bit random coming from (basically) a stranger.

Seriously, we got along fine when we ran into eachother at anime club...

I have a couple of friends here in Silicon Valley who wear ninja headbands all the time.
