Sorry to disappoint you; no real update.
If you haven't noticed, this is kinda on hiatus for many reasons (mainly that I want to re-read the book before I continue; I have the book, but I've been too preoccupied lately to read it). I'll try very hard to get to it over summer break (I'm _way_ too busy until then)
And Audrey, "atashi mo" is correct. I took two semesters of college Japanese, so I _do_ know what I'm talking about. There are several different words the Japanese use for "I," each communicating a slightly different (or in some cases very different) nuance. The different ways that I'm familiar with are as follows:
Watakushi (very polite) Watashi (polite) Washi (casual) Wai (Kansai dialect, casual) Atashi (feminine) Ore (masculine) Boku (young masculine) Sessha (self-effacing; literally: "this worthless person". Used by Himura Kenshin in "Rurouni Kenshin".)
