<p>I&#8217;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.<br />
In Episode 2, where &#8216;Bunny&#8217; and &#8216;Amy&#8217; 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 &#8216;episode&#8217;.<br />
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.<br />
In Takeuchi-san&#8217;s original drawings I am, as I am right handed.<br />
Good observation though!</p>

<p>::blush:: Well, given I don&#8217;t really know you at all, I can&#8217;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&#8230;<br />
It probably all sounds like excuses, but it&#8217;s the truth. To be a doctor I have to study very hard. I&#8217;m not even sure how that&#8217;s going to work if there are all these senshi-related crisis, you can&#8217;t exactly leave an operating table in the middle of surgery&#8230;I need to think these things through some more.<br />
Going back to the original question. I&#8217;m not sure that I&#8217;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&#8217;ve really pushed a lot of that sort of stuff to the side&#8230;and still do, because of everything else.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This question originally came from a comment in the guest book on my old site when it was still being operated via a freeserver.</em></p>
<p>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 &#8216;ripple&#8217; in the area.<br />
With our senshi forms, after the battle once we are able to, we find a place where we can relax and &#8216;power down&#8217; as it were. I have a feeling given when Rei-chan was attacked and &#8216;drained&#8217; by a youma that she was unable to muster the energy to henshin, if we were attacked and &#8216;drained&#8217; by a youma in senshi form we may lose too much energy and involuntarily revert to our civilian form.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;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 <a href="http://ami-chan.net/journal/ask-ami/">Ask Ami</a> 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.</p>
<p>It was supposed to be a surprise, but Usagi-chan let slip. I&#8217;m glad she did really because I would have been even more overwhelmed if I hadn&#8217;t had a few days to prepare. My friends are so loving and so kind and generous, and I can&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Hopefully it will not be too long before I can pick up and let everyone know how things are going, but I&#8217;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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will still be filling in my back entries and copying them from my other journal; but I&#8217;ve been neglecting to fill in other things, things which are more up to date. That&#8217;s been a grievous error on my part, but it&#8217;s a sort of compulsive thing I have. I feel the journal is incomplete and want it to be perfect.</p>
<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s very busy here. I&#8217;ve been finishing up my applications to go to America for school. I&#8217;ve kept putting them off because I&#8217;m so nervous, things have been quiet for so long yet I wonder if I&#8217;m going to screw things up somehow by leaving and everyone will be in the lurch without me. I don&#8217;t want to be neglectful in my duties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8230;I have to think there was something behind it given her distaste for all things karaoke.<br />
Mako-chan and I played for Rei&#8217;s team, and Usagi and Luna for Minako&#8217;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&#8217;ll have to post some pictures. I still need to post pictures from when Rei-chan and I had the camp-out at CROWN.</p>
<p>Minako-san&#8217;s new song is great, though. &#8220;Kiss-kiss, bang-bang!&#8221; I&#8217;m sure Usagi-chan&#8217;s going to be singing it for a long time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had some fun times and some not so fun, recently.</p>
<p>It was great for Usagi-chan to wend her way back to us, as herself and not as the princess, but she had the distressing news that Chiba-san is siding with the Dark Kingdom. It made me grow cold all over to hear that. We have to stick with Usagi-chan and support her, she says she&#8217;s okay with this and will work through it, but it must be awful.</p>
<p>She says she&#8217;s okay, and she does seem to be dealing quite well. I suppose the only thing to do is be there for her.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been some bad things going on lately, some a lot worse than others. I didn&#8217;t transfer schools, which is a good thing. I did some things perhaps I shouldn&#8217;t, but things have worked out.</p>
<p>I felt bad, being so worried about something as a school transfer, when Rei-chan had such deeper problems with her father. She and I spent some time together at CROWN, when neither of us wanted to go home, and we sorted out a lot of things. It was fun to spend time with her, I think it did both of us some good, as she points out we both tend to be pulled in, for different reasons. She couldn&#8217;t understand why I couldn&#8217;t just stand up to my mother in the first place and tell her &#8216;no&#8217; this is something Rei has little problem with. She has such courage. I worry. I did not want to disappoint my mother, she expects for me to follow her footsteps, and I wish to please her, so I worry that she will hate me if I don&#8217;t live up to her expectations, such is the way things are.<br />
Plus, I don&#8217;t want to lie to her, but I also don&#8217;t want to put her and my other friends in danger by explaining certain things.</p>
<p>As it stands now, she&#8217;s had another trip since then, and come back, and she understands that I like to spend time with my friends, and there are certain things I have to do, and that I&#8217;m still trying my best, and still doing okay, so it&#8217;s alright. Which is a big relief.</p>
<p>Other things have happened though, that make all the fracas over the school issues seem like nothing; and they involve Usagi-chan and Chiba-kun. As it is right now Usagi-chan has disappeared, for a while Luna had me pretending to be her, which worked out okay, suprisingly because Ikuko-mama-san had lost her contact lenses and couldn&#8217;t tell that it was me and not Usagi-chan. Right now Mako-chan is in my place and I have to look around for Usagi-chan and try and find out where she&#8217;s gone. Rei-chan has gone to see Aino-san for more information.</p>
<p>As to why&#8211;why has Usagi-chan disappeared? I have no actual idea. I have speculations only.<br />
She and Chiba-kun were doing very well with their relationship, but then, Beryl&#8230;<br />
<a title="cutid1" name="cutid1"></a><br />
Beryl appeared and she threatened the lives of the shittenou. She even stabbed Nephrite, or had him stab himself, because of this manipulation Chiba-kun agreed to go with her to preserve the lives of everyone else. He didn&#8217;t want Usagi-chan to continue to be controlled by the princess aspect of herself, her other self, self from the past&#8230;so, he brought her back to normal and went along with Beryl.<br />
Speculation is that during the night after that the princess came to the forefront of Usagi&#8217;s personality again and is now dragging her somewhere around Tokyo, and the only clue we have is the sound of the harp&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, I should go. I just had to purge some of this out of my head so I could think more clearly and continue my pursuit.<br />
Wish me luck.</p>
