   Definitely.

   You think Usagi could survive more than 3 minutes alone without being   
   bored to tears?  Besides, she wants someone to listen to her   
   laments--although less face it, *none* of her friends are great for that   
   sort of thing: there has been no established father figure in Naru's   
   life and her mother clearly works a lot; Ami's mother is definitely   
   overworked, never at home, and father isn't in the picture; Rei's mom's   
   dead and her dad is a jerk workaholic; Makoto doesn't have any family at   
   all.  Definitely not the people I'd want to go crying to with tales of   
   "My mom's so mean!  She made it plain when i wanted cheese!"  Although   
   with a cruddy reason like that for a fight, I wouldn't want to tell   
   anyone for being ashamed of my immaturity.   
      
   But still, it makes sense Usagi wouldn't want to be alone--and she   
   wouldn't want to be near Mamoru, she knows he'd make fun of her.

   That was just AWFUL, expecially the swaying thing.  Doesn't help that I   
   just watched "Little Miss Sunshine" and realized some of the same   
   (terrible) moves were used there too (particularly the sway thing).   
   *shudder* That just wasn't right.

   They looked a bit more graceful, but at the same time, a lot more out of   
   control.   
      
      
      
   Okay, so Ami goes to the library sans glasses.  At the library, I can't   
   remember if she had them on.  But at the play that evening she's wearing   
   them again.  What's up with that?  I mean, I know I'm dwelling on   
   something pretty random, but when they put so much focus on the darn   
   things early on (and in the previous episode), I can't help but wonder   
   if there isn't supposed to be some sort of meaning?
