why yes. yes you have. it's near impossible to get embarrassed at an anime con. unless you or your friend is going to cosplay and the costume looks really bad...
Yes and no. She hasn't watched Howl's Moving Castle yet. But I know that she's going to be the ultimate Howl fangirl once she sees it. She's already Team Jacob Bestiality, and Howl is basically a Werebirddemonthing, so it'll fit very well. At the very least she'll be writing crossover fanfiction. As long as she falls in love with Howl I'm fine. Also, think a girl who's afraid of anime would have a problem cosplaying as Euphemia from Code Geass? @Muff Monkey: Except it's an anime con. Normal people stick out, so it would be quite embarrassing me to seen with someone who's all normal.
