My girlfriend and I met at a Hallow's Eve Masquerade ball hosted by the university anime club, about 5 minutes after I had finished a fortune-telling session with my friend Shinta, who foretold that I would meet someone in the near future who would become a very important figure in my life.
I was complaining because the night previous I had been shot down by a girl I had asked to the dance... and by shot down I mean taking a Sidewinder air-to-air missile up the tailpipe and bailing out at 30,000 feet only to find the parachute had jammed (a joke that my friend Kidd, who is in Air Force ROTC, found very amusing). Thus, when the slow song came on I was up the dancefloor without a partner. Finally Trish came up to me in her Japanese geisha costume and said "Instead of bitching about not having a partner, why don't you ask someone?" to which I replied "Ok, would you care to dance?" to which she replied "Sure." Afterwards we started talking at club meetings, and what do you know, we started dating a month later.
Oh, and I so totally believe in fortune-telling now.
