Anyone who converts to any religion should prepare a personalized pamphlet to have at the ready when asked the following questions:
Why did you convert?
Why this religion specifically?
You could also prepared a short timeline of the events leading up to your conversion.
On the other hand, anyone who converts to Islam should probably also prepare a treatise about Islam, terrorism and America's war against it, women's rights, democracy, Israel/Palestine, and God knows what else...

So, How/Why did you convert?
I have to admit that it's always my first question, and I have heard many answers and like them all - no particular reason, it just makes me happy to know. Some stories are sad, some happy but all interesting and unique - too few funny ones, that I am sure of.
I am very happy for you brother, and wish you the best.
I personally do not worry too much about the constant annoying negative questions about Islam, I honostly think they guide more people to Islam - they hurt but they also make people ask and question. I mean Islam has become very interesting in a negative way becuase of the extra media coverage these days, the more questions the more people learn the answers - call me optimistic :)
Peace :)
