when we were getting our hair cut we started chatting to another guy and his mum and one of the stylists in the salon about old skool tv shows that we used to watch and games we used to play when we were kids and we all became temporary bffs and then we started talking about our hair b/c y’know it was a salon and the other guy started talking about how his was his character’s hair and I really wanted to ask if it was for like a show or for cosplay but y’know how would I look cool explaining about cosplay if if was for a show??? sigh so we talked about pokemonXD instead but now i regret it
