This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

I been absent for awhile myself, but I was drawn back as well. I think we can begin again. I just participated in the Secret Santa; I am sure more activities are ahead. More importantly, I am sure we have a lot to say in the threads. I intend to try to stick around this time.

Re: Reasons for being happy
I got an amazing grade in math and I didn't get a good grade in math for at least half a year. What a great way to start 2017!

Re: Reasons for being happy
My company seems to like me enough to give me a Certificate of Excellence two quarters in a row. Boy was I surprised to receive it during our last conference call! I honestly thought my editor deserved it more than me.

Re: Reasons for being happy
I'm glad that people remember me, despite my rather pessimistic expectations.
I actually left IRG because I was ashamed at not being successful in life after high school, but now I'm actually a successful IT major, so I'll try to post more. No matter how much time goes by, I still have all the duel songs memorized, and I still love Shiori, Kanae, Anthy, etc. Utena is the best anime.

ShatteredMirror still has the avatar based off my Sims? I don't think he's posted in a few months, but I'm still glad.

Re: Reasons for being happy
I remember all of you, as well! Decrescent Daytripper, OnlyInThisLight, satyreyes, and everyone else who was around before I left.
I especially remember satyreyes, who got me interested in politics. :3 (I remember he was one of the most knowledgeable people regarding current affairs in America, and was actually really patient with me despite the fact that I clearly didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.) ._.; Thank you!

Re: Reasons for being happy
I'm psyched because I hammered out the next part of the plot of the story I'm working on (still maybe need something between killing the serial killer and this, but… eh) and it involves students of magic (generally high school aged) getting abducted by trees.

Re: Reasons for being happy
Just bought a beautiful artbook off YESASIA (I researched it to make sure it's legit, but if anyone here knows something I don't, just let me know) and I can't wait for it to arrive! 
I've been looking for it for a while now, and it can be hard to find shipping outside of the US or UK, especially for novelty items.
It's Kira Imai's Lolita Panier artbook. :3 So excite.

Re: Reasons for being happy
I might have just found the right apartment for me. It's in the perfect location. It's close to the store, my doctor, and a nice library.

Just realized Kuroi Misa from Eko Eko Azarak's name is a pun on kuro-misa/black mass.

Re: Reasons for being happy
I just realized that Kids in the Hall has increasingly become on of those things I return to when I need something to watch. I am so pleased at this for some reason.

Kids in the Hall, In Living Color, SNL....the 90s were way funnier than anything since.
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Kids in the Hall was, and still is, the shit.

Re: Reasons for being happy
I am going to harucon tomorrow with friends:) I haven't been in a con for about a year know because there just not a lot in isreal (there are 4 major cons a year- 2 fir anime and 2 for gaming/pop culture) and since I have a couple of days of vacation from school (for those who are wondering its the Purim holiday) I can forget about the enormous work I have to do. And to top it all off there is an utena lecture about utena and Hinduist culture!

Re: Reasons for being happy
I am at Nakacon right now and I really am satisfied with the convention. I have even though about leaving early. Also? I paid off cellos and accessories. It has been about four years of renting to own that has

Re: Reasons for being happy
My friend just pointed out, moving back to the States, I can finally digitize our old AMVs that are sitting in storage. SKU and the Stones! SKU and X-Ray Spex! The SVHS quality is sure to be shoddy now, etc, but for purely nostalgic, self-concerned reasons, woo and woo hoo!
And, I got a reprint request for a Best Of... edition!

Re: Reasons for being happy
I'm getting married on Friday! 
But, even better, I'M ON VACATION FOR 11 DAYS FUCK YEAH.
The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix
