Karhong asks me:
when did you be come so bad in Episode 21~27 i wan to how you be come so bad ^^ ? i never see ami smile so bad lol i just wan to know ?
What you’re referring to as “Episode 21-27″ for me was around three to four years ago now. I understand there’s a television show which depicts some things…I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it, but my friend’s sister has some “boot legs” as she calls them and I’ve seen little bits of that.
Anyway…that was a very…difficult time for me. I was attacked by Kunzite, and he played on my fears. At the time he attacked I was absolutely certain that all of my close friends and I our friendship seemed to be falling apart. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I was many times stuck at the CROWN arcade by myself wondering what was going on. I was so scared. I’ve never had much luck with friendships and there was Kunzite telling me that very same thing, that no one was really friends that we were all doomed. He played on that, and he used me. A lot of times he manipulated my actions so much that I thought I was doing what I wanted and that I had even come up with certain ideas. It was terrible. I can’t believe I was so stupid.
I’m scared by how easy it was to fall into that path. I do not like how I was at that time. I find journal entries on here every once in a while which depict my frame of mind and they’re scary things for me. I know now that my friends would not give up on each other or on me, but when you’ve been betrayed so many times by people in the past it’s hard to have faith in that and believe in each other.
I have been so very neglectful of this poor blog over the last year. I was just realizing that my birthday has passed and I haven’t written anything here since before then. I hope to keep up with things but my studies and work have been keeping me so busy I barely have time to sleep.
It’s a bad situation. I have some new friends here in the States…well, one, maybe? I’m never sure with these things, and he tells me that I should take more time for me, but there is so much to do, particularly right now. There are things happening, and I must admit I’m scared that perhaps things will go the way they did in Tokyo, then perhaps I’m just overly paranoid.
I miss Mako-chan, Rei-chan, Minako-chan and Usagi-chan so much, and I wonder maybe I’m making things up in my mind…you know, making them seem worse than they are. Anyway, I will attempt to answer the few questions that I was posed while I was absent from this blog. I’m sorry for not getting to them sooner. There were some minor computer issues, and then things just got away from me because it was a hectic point in the “semester”.
I hope that everyone has been keeping well. I’m not sure if I have any regular readers any more, but if I do thank you so much for being so patient!

I’m going to hazard a guess (which may be incorrect) that you ask this from having looked at the Mixx translations of the manga by Takeuchi Naoko.
In Episode 2, where ‘Bunny’ and ‘Amy’ meet, there are scenes of me taking notes in a book and yes, using my left hand, to write with the pen that was won from the game machine earlier in the ‘episode’.
The reason for this aberrant left-handedness is that Mixx flipped the manga from left to right so that it would be able to be read more easily by the English speaking audience. So, perhaps if other senshi also write they will also be left-handed.
In Takeuchi-san’s original drawings I am, as I am right handed.
Good observation though!

::blush:: Well, given I don’t really know you at all, I can’t say that I have feelings for you one way or another. As far as myself and romance well couple the extra-curricular activities that cut a good chunk of time out of school work and studying, and the fact that I have to maintain my grades…
It probably all sounds like excuses, but it’s the truth. To be a doctor I have to study very hard. I’m not even sure how that’s going to work if there are all these senshi-related crisis, you can’t exactly leave an operating table in the middle of surgery…I need to think these things through some more.
Going back to the original question. I’m not sure that I’m in love with any one. I have a lot of people that I care for deeply, my friends are definitely included in that. I’ve really pushed a lot of that sort of stuff to the side…and still do, because of everything else.

This question originally came from a comment in the guest book on my old site when it was still being operated via a freeserver.
That is a sort of mysterious one, depending on the method of henshin. When we use our phones to disguise ourselves we tend to lose the disguise after an extended period of time, or if there is some sort of energy ‘ripple’ in the area.
With our senshi forms, after the battle once we are able to, we find a place where we can relax and ‘power down’ as it were. I have a feeling given when Rei-chan was attacked and ‘drained’ by a youma that she was unable to muster the energy to henshin, if we were attacked and ‘drained’ by a youma in senshi form we may lose too much energy and involuntarily revert to our civilian form.
That is one hypothesis I have said many times that I am not keen to test; but unfortunately since I was first asked that question we have had the opportunity too, and it is indeed the case, and it was not fun in the slighest.
I’ve been very busy with preparations the past few days. I have only a few more things to do and then I will be in the United States. I have a few posts of Ask Ami scheduled to post while I am settling in, but for now I must get ready to go to the party that the others are giving for me to send me off.
It was supposed to be a surprise, but Usagi-chan let slip. I’m glad she did really because I would have been even more overwhelmed if I hadn’t had a few days to prepare. My friends are so loving and so kind and generous, and I can’t help but feel still that I might be making the wrong decision to go and study in America, no matter how much they assure me that I am not.
Hopefully it will not be too long before I can pick up and let everyone know how things are going, but I’m not sure how I will set up internet over there, or what will happen with my phone. I love you all. You are so dear to me.
I will still be filling in my back entries and copying them from my other journal; but I’ve been neglecting to fill in other things, things which are more up to date. That’s been a grievous error on my part, but it’s a sort of compulsive thing I have. I feel the journal is incomplete and want it to be perfect.
Anyway, it’s very busy here. I’ve been finishing up my applications to go to America for school. I’ve kept putting them off because I’m so nervous, things have been quiet for so long yet I wonder if I’m going to screw things up somehow by leaving and everyone will be in the lurch without me. I don’t want to be neglectful in my duties.
Finally reposting the pictures from the sleepover Rei-chan and I had several years ago now. (Ami 09/21/08) entry backdated.
Mako-chan made us some WONDERFUL snacks ^_^
The first picture I took of Rei-chan–very happy to see how well Mako-chan had fed us. I don’t know how she (Mako-chan) managed to make or carry all that food!!
Rei-chan trying on a variety of outfits. The first two are very cute. The last one…well, we were starting to go a little crazy by this point.
Rei-chan as a teacher, and a stewardess.
Attack of the tiger! and well elephant off screen attacking tiger *laughs* it was her fault! She started it. *blush* My, I sound so silly! But it’s been such fun, too, to be able to have silly times with friends. I never realized what I was missing out on, truly. Also, I had thought this might be the first and last time that we dressed up as animals, but I was wrong, for me at least. Giant penguin costume. I wonder if Usagi-chan has pictures of that…O.o I’ll have to ask her.
This is what happens when you try to take a picture of yourselves by setting the timer on your phone. Haven’t quite got the hang of it, as you can see. It’s a little fuzzy, but not too bad. We have been having a little too much fun with the henshin-phones. Especially seeing as we found out if you take pictures of something from a magazine or a website it also works O.o I feel a little guilty about doing this, but it was fun to be so carefree for a while. I only hope that no one else finds out about this and abuses the power.
Anyway, here are the pictures that Rei-chan took of me 
This is the first outfit. Rei-chan said it was ‘kakkoi’ it’s definitely different. I like the colours, and the pants were so comfortable! (not that you can see them in this picture…)
These outfits are a little different. I think the nun outfit is from someone at Rei-chan’s school. I’m not sure if I want to know why she had a cowboy outfit
Elephant, and elephant ready to stampede ^_~ Despite that face, I did have fun, and Rei-chan seems to have had fun also. It was nice.
I got the shock of my life just now–I could think that Nephrite is working at CROWN. It’s so…confusing to see him, but given his demeanor and the way that Motoki-onii-san introduced him, I really think that it is him. It’s good to know that he’s safe, but he seems so tormented, there’s part of me that thinks it might have been better had he just died.
Rei-chan asked us to help her with something. It turned out to be a competition between her and Aino Minako. It was a bit shocking, to say the least. Apparently she was willing to become an idol…I have to think there was something behind it given her distaste for all things karaoke.
Mako-chan and I played for Rei’s team, and Usagi and Luna for Minako’s. I think the meaning behind it was for us all to do something together as friends. We did all have fun as a group. I’ll have to post some pictures. I still need to post pictures from when Rei-chan and I had the camp-out at CROWN.
Minako-san’s new song is great, though. “Kiss-kiss, bang-bang!” I’m sure Usagi-chan’s going to be singing it for a long time.
