wow, considering when this thread was created, i thought i'd have commented in it alread, but here goes.
i don't think my friends really think its weird, i'm sure at some point they did, but now they're used to it. a few of them actually like ayumi now. still, i'm paraoid sometimes when i meet new people because initially i'm afraid they will think its weird. on a whole though, people don't really care one way or the other.
