The Annals of YKYWTMSMW Volume I :> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Compiled by Tom Ragsdale (75323.3502@compuserve.com) Gregory Lam (gregory.lam@ablelink.org) By the net.guys and net.gals of alt.fan.sailor-moon and rec.arts.anime! TR: After seeing so many posts to this list, and seeing requests for a total compiled list, here it is. I cut and pasted this from all the other lists, so thanks to all who posted. I left in (usually) the authors' editorials, but some may have been cut. Also, I added some of my own editorials, and if's. Original editorials appear in parenthesis. Enjoy! gL: Well, now it's a litmus test, too! You get a point if you've ever done or was sorely tempted to do anything similiar to the following criteria. Half marks are allowed. See your score at the bottom in percentages. (My score was 25%, btw.) Also: I have tried to credit people, and edit spellings where appropriate. The "Official" YKYWTMSMW site is the Cult of Serenity page located within HoTaMaLe! Gregory Lam's Website at http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4818/ Holy crescent moons, the number of points on this list has now exceeded the number of Sailor Moon episodes produced THREE-FOLD! * * * You Know You Watch Too Much _Sailor Moon_ When... 1)You change you DOS prompt to read "Type here, Meatball-head!" 2)You bring your Sailor Mercury doll to school on the day of the Academic Bowl for good luck. (We won, by the way.) 3)You find yourself choreographing a dance to the theme song, including the appropriate power movements for each scout when their name is said. 4)In gym class you walk up to random people and say, "I am Sailor Moon, and I fight for love and justice. In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" while doing the hand movements (which I have almost memorized). 5)You try to diagram the scouts' speeches in English class. (Hey, it's first period and I get up at five to watch SM. I'm lucky my thoughts are coherant enough to diagram *anything*.) 6)In algebra class, all your 4's look like Lita's symbol. (Does that have a name or something?) [Actually, it's the Greek symbol for Jupiter. gL] 7)You collect all the doubles you can of the SM trading cards so that you can make them into POGs on your sister's POGmaker. You then punch holes in them to make really spiffy necklace pendants. 8)You wear plastic red star earrings *every day* and tell everybody that you wear them because they "look just like Raye's" (I don't have any blue or red plastic studs and I'm allergic to metal. Any suggestions? And what kind of earrings does Mina wear?) 9)You have play practice after school until seven and a pile of Algebra and Bio homework, and yet you still manage to read alt.fan.sailor-moon and print off the YKYWTMSMW's for your sister's friend who also likes Sailor Moon (although she gets it at 6:30 a.m, the lucky spiff) 10)You're trying to get a Sailor Mercury costume together for a magazine costume contest and trying to convince your friends who have never even seen the show to dress up as the other scouts. 11)In crowded places, you yell to your sister "She is the one named sailor..." She responds by yelling "Sailor Venus!" and doing the power motion. You yell back "Sailor Mercury!" and follow suit. She answers with "Sailor Mars!" and then you yell "Sailor Jupiter!" She looks around, seems to notice to crowd for the first time and slinks away, embarrassed, while you, egged on by the strange looks from the crowd, belt out the rest of the theme song in a solo. 12)In Algebra class, you spend the period typing the theme song on your graphing calculator, which may be why you're so reluctant to start on that pile of homework mentioned in #9. 13)You spend all your time online trying to figure out what kind of earrings Sailor Venus has. 14)You begin to dread weekends cuz they only show SM on weekdays. 15)You sing the Sailor Moon theme song while washing and drying your hair. 16)You're a police officer, and when you see someone doing something wrong, you start giving them a 60 second speech, and by the time your done, they're already gone. 17)Whenever you see your friends they start running away 'cause they KNOW you're going to talk about Sailor Moon. 18) When you start thinking about anything and it always turns to Sailor Moon. 19) When you start following people named after someone in Sailor Moon and they see you and think that you're a stalker and call the police and they have you arrested and no I have never done this before and yes I can sure write long run-on sentences. 20) You start to strangle someone because Darien just broke up with Serena and since you already broke your TV a minute ago. 21)Your friends and family trick you into seeing a shrink to talk about your 'problems'. 22) If someone doesn't watch Sailor Moon, you threaten to beat them up and try using your powers(Jupiter Thunder Crash, Mars Fire Ig- nite,etc.) and they look at you strangely and walk away while you're wondering why nothing's happening. 23)You start trying to synchronize the 1st track on the CD with the credits to the show so you can have a glorious 1:33 of stereo Sailor Moon 24)You know that track 1's intro is longer than the actual one in the title sequence. 25)You sychronize the beginning of track 10 of the first CD to go along with Usagi/Serena's transformation sequence. I have done this several times now. 26)You help 5 friends of yours who are doing the first 5 senshi at an Animecon by actually taking the time to acrylic resin cast the bow medallions, and then pain-stakingly detail the cresent moon pendant with silver and golf leaf, and rhinestones. And yes, all 5 do look like the senshi..They even have the correct height proportions, and natural hair color and length.
