Yay, I'm happy too! It apparently righted itself randomly. Oh, the things we had to amuse ourselves with in the olden days of anime fandom. All they had was Dragonball and Sailor Moon, and WE WERE GRATEFUL! We walked uphill both ways in blinding snow just to get to Suncoast Video and WE LIKED IT!

Don't feel bad about cooking. All the people in North Carolina think I'm insane with the way I've been taught to cook. They think I spice things like a smoker, and I think everything is horribly bland. And Cajun food has no room for vegetarians, i.e. 1/3 of my friends. But anyone can cook with a good recipe and some dedication. And...everyone screws up something stupid at some point.

I remember watching Sailor Moon and Dragon BallZ on cartoon network too. XD I used to love Sailor Moon when I was thirteen, but now certain things have ruined it for me. XD;

*nods* Well, I can't cook.. at all. XD; And I'm a very picky eater, sadly. My mom had a strict mom who made her eat things she didn't like, so she wanted to not do that and just let us eat what we wanted.. the downside to that is that we never developed a good taste for a variety things. We were mostly used to frozen and canned stuff. \: It's sad, but it's still hard for me to try new things now. XD; So now whenever I see complex dishes I'm like "..uh." I really need to work on that and try new foods. ;_;

Whee, so many people! *giddy*

I'm Razara. It's nice to meet you.

My interests include Shoujo Kakumei Utena, or more specifically, Shiori... And just by saying that I'm sure that I've made myself an enemy to quite a few people on this fourm. Not that I mind, of course. I've always wanted to debate Shiori's motives. :3 I've been aspiring to write an essay about her for a while now, so I have a lot to say on the matter... A lot... Too much, really. I'm a bit obsessed. e_e

I should also mention that I absolutely love symbolism. Tracking down and deciphering symbolism is practically my hobby, that and writing fanfictions.

Other than that, there really isn't much to say about me.

Ooh, write the essay! I am rather a fan of essays myself, especially about this show. I just found when I used to do them they ended up being about way more than I intended, and then I lost control of the subject altogether. But I'd be really interested to see an essay on Shiori, if only because I have never been interested enough in her to really explore her character; I think it is because I never liked Juri [AWAITS FIERY DOOM FROM THE JURI FANS], but I really enjoyed Shiori's Black Rose episode for some sick reason. [shifty eyes]

I am also a symbolism whore. No wonder we love this show, eh?

I'm a symbolism whore as well, which is why I went to the trouble of founding every single symbol in episode 17. (Even the seemingly unimportant ones, like why we get so many shots of Juri's chest in that episode... Yes, it's symbolic.) This, I should note, is probably why I can't get my thoughts on Shiori onto paper without writing at least 20 pages.

I will definitely write the essay, though for now, I'm hoping that posting on this fourm will give me a chance to discuss my theories. (Expect a thread sometime soon.)

i started getting into utena about five years ago by watching fansubs (this was back when the future of any DVDs after the student council arc was still in limbo). after watching the series i was able to watch the musical, and i loved it to death. before i even got into utena i was a huge seramyu (sailor moon musical) fan... and still am, really. i love the utena musical more than i probably should, actually. i prefer musical akio to movie akio, though. but yeah, after the musical, i eventually got around to seeing the movie. i can happily say shoujo kakumei utena is my favourite anime, and i don't see anything overtaking it.

*waves to onsenmark* i know you. how dare this wonderful forum distract us from maplestory! did i mention that i snagged the character name "akio" on there? too bad i use it as a mule...

Musical Utena is awesome... But Akio's eyes scare me. X___x Seramyu is awesome too though. X3 Now I have a dire need to watch it and sing along.

...I'm forced to ask how far you got on maplestory, since it takes ALL ETERNITY to level for me.

I took a good long peek through your work and you sure are versatile and quite talented too

Hi all.  . . I'm Melusina. Battling my way through university (English teacher. Someday!) while trying to write as many stories as I can. I work as a writing tutor, but I'm pretty far from a crazy grammar lover. Much to the students' dismay. ;) My roomate got me hooked on Utena (evil, evil woman. Must love her) and. . . that was the beginning of the end. I'm also very fond of Witch Hunter Robin, Fruits Basket, and Escaflowne. When I'm not watching anime, I love anything via Joss Whedon. I adore freeform roleplaying and console games, and I'm absolutely hooked on anything Final Fantasy. I love to cook, am obsessed with Victorian England, and really wish that I could sew. Someday I'll learn, but for now I'm content with cross-stitching and wishing I had more time. My favorite character, hands down, is Anthy, although I have a soft spot for Juri as well. I love musicals to such an extent that I've actually seen clips of the Utena one on YouTube. I'm not sure why I torture myself like this. ;)

Hey All

I'm Katherine - *waves to everyone and my fellow afu'ers*

Still posting to AFU, still love to discuss Utena!

Hm - grew up as an AF brat so I've lived all over the US, in Germany and in Guam.  Currently mired in Nebraska for too many years.

I won't give my age, but I believe I'm the oldest person here - so clean your rooms, and for gawd's sake, tell them crazy Student Council kids to keep their clothes on! 

Um - I've been a fan of Utena for . . . 6+ years (lost count).  My friend Anj loved the show - she wanted to seduce me to the anime side, so she showed a pic of Touga & Saio - she knew I'd love Touga and she was right. 

I'm also new to anime - well maybe not as much now.

I am a major Touga fan (he can do no wrong - well, most of the wrong he does - I love him all the more for it), plus love my fellow Sag - Mikage (who can resist a lost-soul, nerd?), then Akio's there because who can tell that man no?  I couldn't. 

Dislike Nanami, Anthy, and Saionji.  Should I put that more gently?  Not as fond of?

I'm a writer - finished two manuscripts - just have to get them submitted - just lazy.  Working on another novel and framing three others.

For pure fun - I also love to write BAD, painfully BAD fanfics.  Tho' I am seriously working on two Utena fanfics.

And I love animals, most esp. kitties!  Oh - and broody boys.  With long hair.  And long legs.  And tiny hips.

Same from me.
