Asuka Theater!

Family reunion this weekend! Dubious asuka is dubious, but.

Yay! good food. Yay! playing with the kids all afternoon, so I get bonus points from keeping them busy AND avoid grownup talk on politics and soccer and shit. Yay, letting grandmother cut a few inches from my hair because they're starting to fray at the bottom again! That lets her feel like she's slowly winning the fight to make me into a real girl, and gets her off my *hah* hair. I mean, it worked fine the first time i let her do this!

Asuka: I am somewhat confused as to why we aren't doing this in the bathroom this time around, grandma.
Asuka's grandma: Pshh, no reason. Sit. You'd look very good with short hair.
Asuka: No thanks grandma. If I could my hair would be DOWN TO MY ASS. (alas it always frays by the time it's shoulderblade length boohoo.) Maybe an inch or two under shoulder length?
Asuka's grandma: hm hm hm. Shoulder length! It's only an inch or two, it would grow fast AND be more healthy for your hair!
Asuka: ... Well, that IS only an inch or two. Okay, shoulder length. Hm, but I find it somewhat frustrating that I can't see what you are doing on account of the lack of mirrors in the kitchen.
Asuka's grandma: Bah! It'll be a surprise.
Asuka: But shoulder length, grandma!
Asuka's grandma: Of course, of course. *clip clip clip*
Asuka's cousin: oh, haircut, how ni... um, grandma, that's a little short, isn't it?
Asuka's grandma: Pshh! Not at all. It's shoulder length! >__> Also it's not like I can glue it back on.
Asuka: *... um. glue what now*
Asuka's grandma: LOOK FORWARD AND STOP MOVING. *clip clip clip*
Asuka: ... >__>;
Asuka's cousin: ... well I think it looks very nice! really!
Asuka: ... >_____>;;; ???
Asuka's grandma: There! done.
Asuka's cousin: ... oh yes, it suits you pretty well! Um. It looks very cute.
Asuka: *turns her head* ...
Asuka's grandma: :DDD ?
Asuka: GRANDMA. WHY DO I FEEL AIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK GRANDMA.
Asuka's grandma: :DDDDDDDDDDDDD Tadahh!
Asuka: *rushes to bathroom & mirror* ...
.......
.............
AAAA
I KNOW I HAVE A SHORT NECK BUT IN WHICH WORLD DOES SHOULDER LENGTH = JAW LENGTH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Asuka's grandma: Hmph! you look much prettier in this style, which incidentally I've been badgeting you about for years. See, you should have stopped being all "no grandma i like my long hair just fine thank you" years ago!
Asuka: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Asuka's grandma: Oh, shush. ... Wait a second, this side is longer than the other side.
Asuka: oh fine, i do so like being symmetrica--aaaaaaa now i can barely tuck my bangs behind my ear aaaaaaaaaaaa I WILL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN.
Asuka's cousin: ... no, really, it looks cute! daughter-dear, tell her it looks cute.
Asuka's cousin's kid: ... :/ well um. i like long hair better. ... for me i mean, for other people it's um, nice i guess. i just. like it long. mine i mean. yeah. OH LOOK THEY ARE PLAYING WITH DOLLS BRB :DDD;;

Asuka: *GOES HOME HOMG* HEY BROTHER >:( *barges into brother room*
Asuka's brother's girlfriend: hey asukOMG WHAT HAPPENED D:
Asuka: ... HAH. >:E
Asuka's brother's girlfriend: ...?
Asuka: See, you're sometimes a bitch, but that's why I know I can trust you on this.
Asuka's brother: *knows nothing of fashion!* *doesn't give a shit about what people look like!* ... isn't that... a bit short... D:
Asuka: *VINDICATED DAMN IT* >:E >:E >:E ... T____T I am never leaving the house again.

Shorter than jaw length doesn't on me either.

And if your hair is as fine as mine then even shelling out for extensions probably wouldn't work out that well. The one time I had extensions they ended up pulling out some of my hair. :C Maybe a "half wig" hair piece that you could blend with your own hair and add some length back with until you grow it out?
