Okay, this story can be funny, sad, weird, insane or all of the above, depending on your point of view. I guess for some it could also be cool. I'm personally going with weird.
So I was at DLR today (with MonkeyBoyJoe), inside the "cave" at innoventions, just minding my own business playing VMK. This girl (mid-teens or so) walks by and I guess noticed my character and said, "Hey, you have green bags. Cool!" (The minute she said that, I regretted changing out of my pirate costume I have been wearing these past few days.) Next thing I hear as I'm turning to face the girl is, "Wait, you're Little Dragon, the CL, right?" (The minute she says that, I regretted turning to face her.)
Another girl heard that and comes over saying, "Oh wow, you're so cool!" (And I'm sitting there going...uh oh...now what have I got myself into.) I smile and nod and am about to say something when a boy comes over and asks for my autograph. O_o
Seriously, I'm like...what? You want my autograph? But but but...it's a virtual character. I was about to refuse, when I realized, this kid is about 9, why crush his dreams and inspirations. So I reluctantly gave it (let me tell you, it's very weird signing CL_LittleDragonErin instead of my real name). After I did that, I knew it was a big mistake. Out come the pens and paper. Off go the kids to the mommies and daddies for pens and paper.
Oh, did I mention there were about 20 kids or so there? So after about the 9th or 10th signature, somebody asks for a picture. O_o I quickly turn away as somebody else actually snapped one. Now, I had to draw the line. So I kindly asked them not to take pictures. Most, I think realized why. But a couple continued to beg.
So at this point, I had to be sneaky and sort of signalled Monkey (who was off in the corner laughing his [blank] off) to call my phone, which luckily he got the message and did. So I pretended I was being called away and got out of there as quick as I could.
I ended up walking around DLR for the rest of the night with my hood on. :P
Anyway, just thought I'd share probably the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me in DLR.
Just think...somebody out there has an autograph from CL_LittleDragonErin and a picture of the back of her head. O_o
And Monkey will never let me live that one down. I was hearing the autograph jokes for the rest of the night. -_-'
