About my haircut.
I hate it.
I went to get my haircut on Thursday, I was all excited. And I'll say this before I start complaining: getting your haircut (getting it washed there) in Japan is like going to a spa. They are so gentle and careful and wrap you up in many towels and oh my god, I would go back just for him to wash my hair again. I can't describe the feeling. It was just AWESOME. Then onto the cutting. So much hair came off my head. I really miss my long hair. I didn't even WANT it this SHORT. Just A LITTLE shorter I wanted. It's too short for me to handle. I hate short hair on me. So, the next day at school I was seriously depressed. I basically kept my head down and my shoulders high so no one would notice. Of course though when Mizuki sits behind you that becomes impossible to accomplish. She asked me what's wrong and it's not long before she notices my hair is cut. Geeze, I didn't think I'd get so many shocked gasps from people. Sayako gets involved soon later along with Rina (she sits in front of me). Sayako then puts my hair up in the weirdest ponytail at the top of my head saying "kawaii" and the other two agreeing. Were they crazy? I looked like one of those little girls from The Grinch movie. But I was in a bad mood. They kept telling me it suits me and that it's really cute. No, no, no it is not. Short hair is really popular in Japan for girls right now too. But it doesn't really look good on a foreigner, especially me. You find me a cute guy who HONESTLY thinks it's cute, then I'll be fine.
When we had to run Mari saw my hair telling me it was cute. After she gave a gasp. After computer class Ayaka gasped then ran over to me, I tried to run away, but I was kinda corner to a wall with her, Okaa-san (I did mention this before, right? Well, there's this girl in my class named Iona and everyone calls her Okaa-san for some reason. Before I even knew her real name I knew her as that), and Kanako. Urgh, she began playing with it then and them all saying it was cute.
But I saw Okaa-san. She was the less responsive one. So, I told her. Okaa-san you hate my hair, right? Somehow I ended up saying I hated her after her response. I didn't mean to say that, my words came out wrong but it was pretty funny how she responded to it. -sigh- it sucks. Even the English teachers were a bit worried asking me what was wrong. Now that I think back on it I feel really stupid. Sure, I hate it but I kinda feel like a idiot for how I acted and how people had to respond to me. I've been exaggerated lately. I'm finding myself sleeping in class more often now too, I don't understand. Yeah, classes are boring, easy to get tired, but it's never been this bad. It's kinda like the first day of school all over again.
So, today I took the train with Otoo-san to a place called Hatori. How ironic haha. Hattori=person I talk to. Hatori=place I went to. Double t. I love the train. Boring, but yet somehow amusing and fun. The trains in Tokyo is what you gotta watch out for though. I was just watching something on the news about how this guy was basically humping this girl on a train. This stuff is common, so common I can't believe people get away with this stuff. You hear about it all the time. But anyway, I'm not taking a train to Tokyo anytime soon, and that's only because Tokyo trains are overcrowded, people really can't see what's happening. The trains around here are really empty. So, that trip took around an hour. And it was FREEZING when we got off. I had my jacket (I suppose it's a fall-ish jacket) and 2 long sleeve shirts on. I'm not exactly sure how to explain this matsuri (festival). It was called the Kuni Fuigo Matsuri. It was interesting. I kinda knew I was being a part of it, but I had no idea that it would be somewhat important. I couldn't get any actual footage of the performance because I was in it but I did get us practicing a bit. Then I rambled off in the end. That's in the video I just posted. I actually posted two videos today. The other is just me complaining about my hair. I can't really describe the matsuri. I got to wear a really weird outfit, and I was pulling a air pump through the performance. Not to mention doing little other things as well.
Otoo-san has a DVD of the same matsuri from last year here at the house. That means I'll most likely be getting a DVD of this year's because I was in it. So, if you really wanna see it (it's pretty boring but hey, I'm in it!) I'm going to see if I can rip it and put it on YouTube, other than that, you'll just have to wait till I return next year. I did have fun though, somehow. Like, I did nothing at all to possibly enjoy myself but I enjoyed being there doing it I guess. It was freezing, but it was fun ^_^
I was in my room after my bath (always am for like 10 mins on the computer then I head out with the rest of the family) and I went to dry my hair with the towel and I hear my name being called. I look over at my door and I see Sayaka (Ai's friend for those who don't remember the names, which I don't see anyone can haha). She says, do you remember me? My hair was a mess but when I tried to hide it with the towel she thought I was hiding my haircut. Ai pops into my room next and then the whole haircut thing gets brought up. So, in the end I had to show her my hair. She thought it was cute and so did Ai. Huh? Ai too now? Friday after school I knew there was only one person who would tell me the truth about my haircut. Ai. So, I asked her what she thought. She didn't like it really either. Unless my question was asked wrong yesterday, she just changed her mind. I pointed my comb at her accusing her of saying she didn't like it yesterday and she just kept saying, "uchi?" (me) over and over unbelieving. (I'm not quite understanding the use of the word, "uchi". In translation it means home but it's not only her, people here also use it to say 'me/ I'.) She honestly didn't think she told me that. But yeah. Now Sayaka's sleeping over. And I'm heading off for bed now. Otoo-san still has plans for me to attend some festival tomorrow in the city. What fun. I really wanna go somewhere with Ai and Sayaka and if they were planning on inviting me now I can't go >_< The video of the matsuri is fairly new, just uploaded it, so I don't have a link for it yet. You'll just have to look on the site in like an hour. I highly doubt it's viewable just yet.
