Uniforms were not required when I was in school, and I am thankful. I enjoyed being able to dress in exactly what I wanted…you cannot do that when you are an adult and have a job. Usually you are stuck in another uniform, or even if you work in corporate America, you’ve still got to wear power suits in the lovely triad of beige, navy, or black. Childhood and college days are really the only time you get to act out your individual style every day with your entire wardrobe. I am all for the kids who wear entire outfits they’ve made which are completely different from normal attire. I don’t like the idea that uniforms are becoming the norm in all the schools now, they are cute in Japan, true… But I’ve seen some little private Catholic school kids who looked ridiculous in their clothes. If children’s clothing is forced to conform, eventually new things will present themselves as forms of expression - maybe an interest in art will pick up globally. Who knows?

I'm originally from Louisiana too, and I totally know what you mean. Some of those uniforms look absolutely ridiculous. I went to a Catholic school from elementary through junior high, and the uniform was this disgusting white and navy houndstooth on pleated skirts. I was the only girl to wear the unisex long navy pants just because I found the default so damn ugly(at least I didn't have to have the humiliating experience of having my skirt measured like the other girls--ugh). The more schools there are, the more ugly uniforms they have to make up because the good designs have already been taken by other schools.

I hate it when people try to say that "They can dress how they want when they get older!" Yeah, I bet me going out looking for jobs when I had Touga-red hair would yield marvelous results. Unless you have a specific subsect of jobs, most of which suck, you have to practically wear a uniform five days a week--if your company doesn't put you in a full uniform altogether. Let someone dress how they want for once in their life.

I hate uniforms   but if ohtori would accept me i would go becuase i could hopefully spy on all the interesting people and write a tell all blog/book  and.... Touga by the way the grounds are faboulous looking

There certainly aren't any hair length restrictions.)

Yes they do. 'Hair must not drag on the floor, preferbaly be cut above the knees'

But can you grow it that long and would it suit you?

What I want to know is why don't they (Touga and Saionji especially) tie back their hair for the duels? I somehow doubt they're so talented that they wouldn't be constantly swiping their own hair off.

They probably spent hours training to avoid just that.

If I was in Ohtori I would be an anime character...and they don't have any problems with long hair now do they?

Sure I'd go to Ohtori.  I think my biggest concern though would be preventing myself from stabbing one of the fangirls.  I DESPISE all the squeeing that comes from them non-stop.  I'd probably knock one from a window and bury her with movie-Akio within a matter of days.

My goals would be to first find out if Ohtori is so magical that STDs and pregnancy just don't exist there.  I'm sure the answer would have to be yes... so... after I'd make some *cough* rounds... I'd go do random things like trying to slap sense into Juri by randomly screaming "HE DIED FOR YOUR SAKE, YOU MORON!?!" and running off sobbing... then going up to Saionji, hugging him, and saying "I love you the way you are... you just express yourself as poorly as a 5 year old.  That's SO CUTE! "

That all said, I don't know if they'd actually want me in Ohtori.. I'm ridiculously level-headed and don't have any hang-ups from my past... at worst if you merged Mikage and Miki's reasons for being there you may have some justification for Ohtori holding onto me... some strong desire to find a pure path through perfection of oneself and personal talents.  Yeah if I went batshit crazy about philosophy I may have a reason...  then Nietzsche's ghost would give me creepy sexual dreams where he rapes Touga and none of it makes sense..

I'd love to go to Ohtori. But It would have to be the Movie campus. I pick this one because I can't really get in trouble for being late to class or not showing up at all because that place is so damn confusing...... Also, I could go to that one rose and get the rose signet before Utena could have a chance. Wooo hooo!!!

I'd then join the fencing team. Then when I've mastered it, I quit and join the kendo team. Then, when I'm in a duel I can defeat Utena. Ant then Himemiya can do my homework for me and clean my dorm. Mwahahahaha But, I'll want to cook my own meals......

Yeah, I think I'd do pretty well at Ohtori. I have enough mental problems and instances of OMGdrama in my life that I already angst about and never tell anyone. Besides.. I love the Ohtori uniform... the puffy sleeves are so cute!!

I dunno, I'd be so curious about how interaction with the characters would go (I don't care if it means getting ultimately mindfucked, I'd try to be friends with all the pretty people). Specifically, I'd wonder how interaction between me and Nanami would go-- would we be too alike to get along, or would we be able to relate to each other (if she toned down her super-ego for a second, she probably could). I might be able to get along well with Keiko and Wakaba, too. Problem is, I think Touga is pretty hawt (meaning.. rivalry with practically half the school?). And Saionji. And Ruka. And Akio. ....and Juri (okay okay I have a girl-crush on her too).

But if it was the real me put into the SKUniverse, then I'd be too preoccupied with some mystery guy I'm in love with to really think about Touga much (which would probably secretly piss him off -sigh-). There would be an episode about it, because that spans 6 years of angst, right there. My evil evil habit is that I tease but I don't put out, for that very reason. It'd be like a game to see who can seduce me first, if at all. LOL. I could probably get along with Utena, too. And I also wonder how I'd *ahem* "get along" with Akio.

And I want Anthy as my rose bride!! I love her. She's the one character I'd never be able to know well, not even if I tried to.

Lovely to visit, wouldn't want to live there.

If I were at Ohtori, I'd probably look up at the top floor of the cocktower and think, "Wow, the view from up there must be amazing." Especially on Saturday nights.

But would I be likely to be on campus on Saturday nights?
