i sent my mom a picture of me in which i had my hair up in the kind of messy way, and now she is nagging at me to get a haircut. it is a bit weird since i have had long hair since i was little and i did not think it has seemed to bother her before? 

since i said i did well in my exams my parents will often say they are hoping i will find a working way with my teachers to start my summer vacation early so i could catch the end of wimbledon in person. on one hand that is kind of cool, but on the other i would need to do extra work to make up for it, and it might be very awkward because i would not be there to support german players at all...

also i have been playing mario tennis aces and it is a lot of fun! i especially like that i can win with breaking the racket of my opponent instead of scoring the better points. it would have been expensive in real tennis i suppose, but also pretty funny. it would have been a strategy i would be good at i think.

That is odd. Personally, my family was more shocked when I cut all of my hair off. Gran thought that I was going through a midlife crisis at 14.

You should do it. School is important, of course, but having experiences is more so. Especially if it's to support your friends.

Breaking your opponent's racquet? Hmm. It would also require that there were no available racquets to borrow, so that could make for a fascinating story. Haha. It is interesting to me that it's a strategy in the game. Does it follow the rules of tennis otherwise? Admittedly, I'm pretty bad with video games, so I'm uncertain.

i got gum caught in my hair once when i was maybe 14? i had to cut it off to shoulder length and for two weeks some people took a while to recognize me. i actually remember back when we were at the camp someone explained to me about your hair, i think it was kite-san or one of his friends? it sounded like a big image change.

i have been to wimbledon before back when it was easier to reach, but that was before akaya-kun and the others joined in. i do want to go, so i will have to think about it even though it will be awkward either way, probably.

there is a preset number of the spare rackets available per match, and the move to take out a racket all at once will take a while to charge. there are some weird rules with portals or obstacles on the field, and the points are counted a bit shorter to keep the matches from getting too long, but it is mostly regular tennis.

Oh no. I would have been devastated at that age. Really? Interesting, I don't recall it being a topic of discussion. I have left the dark roots behind in my early middle school days, but I certainly feel more like myself with my hair long and blonde.

Of course. That makes sense. Well, and since you have a reason to go, all the more reason to. Why will it be awkward in particular?

Fascinating. It sounds much like the ridiculous maneuvers our fellow tennis players used to pull. Naturally there are no portals or anything of the sort, but that's about all...

it was upsetting at the time i think, but probably also my own fault. it is hair though, so at least it grew back. i think the worst thing anyone else has done to it was to put colored hairspray on it, because with my color it is very long before the weird shadows are gone.

i am actually going to screen this comment now because i want to ask you for help? i have a family member who is part of the competition so my parents want me to go very much, and to convince me to go they have offered to pay a share of a second plane ticket and give a tournament ticket to... well, they say girlfriend but that is them not listening to me. which is referring to an-senpai.

it is a kind of weird thing to give, but do you think she would accept coming along as a birthday gift? i know that she does want to go, but i also see why it would be kind of much...

and i think maybe if you see a portal as a ball disappearing in one place and reappearing in another then you may have used tennis portals before!

I can only just imagine. At least I would be able to bleach it away, but that's not so easy with hair naturally that color.

Oh, wow. That's quite a generous offer. It would probably take her by surprise, but I can't imagine that she'll say no with you gifting it for her birthday. It would be a wonderful experience for the both of you. How long would it be for?

Ha! You have some solid logic there.
