Mainichi motto motto suki ni naru.
At the risk of admitting my vanity (as if regularly blogging didn't already demonstrate it), here's my new haircut on day 3, after a day running around in drizzle.
The title of this entry is "Every day I like it more and more." Hopefully you (*ahem* Ba) can see from this picture that they did more than cut off my "thikoni" [tail]. I was afraid that running around in the rain would make it curly and bad crazy, but luckily, it's good crazy. Daisuki [I like it a lot]. Emma-san (a Swedish girl in my class) and I had talked about where to go for a gaijin haircut last week or so, and today she saw mine and was quite impressed. Apparently she'd gone somewhere in Musashisakai (I don't know why, since we'd both agreed that a touristy area would probably be best) and was *very* disappointed by the results.
I can't believe I'm talking about this at length. What has Japan done to me? But while we're at it... Chris-san (one of the English kids) said he could see me going for a dye too, and the thing is, while I may never have gone for something "permanent" or drastic before, I'm suddenly very tempted. (The excuse for rampant dying here is that everyone has black hair so Japanese people are just trying to "undo" evolution by differentiating themselves artificially, so I wonder if mine subconsciously is the same since I also have black hair or if it's just that "I'm in Japan woo!") He seems to be experiencing similar strange urges too.* Maria-san (a half Japanese girl), after bowing and giving me multiple effusive "kawaii!!" [cute]s, invited me to go cosplay in Harajuku with her some weekend, and Hoyan-san (Korean girl in class) thought I'd gotten a perm, but no, thanks to Dad, the Datta-Barua daughters are lucky (?) enough to have hair that "swings both ways."
Speaking of Dad, this is too cute. He started a blog, and the address is "myoldmanriver," which I think is just great because, well... he's "my old man," and his name is that of a river. I don't know how much he'll be updating it, but he puts a lot of effort into everything he does, so I'm sure I'll be checking it out regularly. By the way, he has his annual 20K run this weekend. Go leave him a "good luck" comment.
*Chris was also wearing a Cursive t-shirt *and* Cursive sweatshirt today, and apparently he is their forum/message board moderator. He was very interested to hear that Brett went to school with their (former?) cellist. They have a concert in Tokyo next month. Should I go?
Oh and...
I have money! Went to the bank during the super-long lunch period (the schedule's all whack because of I-Week); paid rent. Tonight I have to study for my Second Big Test, but tomorrow I plan to buy a bike and pay my gas and electricity bills. So, despite my fitful night of sleep (poor Fuji, I was im-ing his phone at random hours all day/night because I was weirded out by my dreams) and the slight headache I have at the moment, I feel *really good.*
