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

Re: Reasons for being happy

I really like being "big sister" to students and this morning, I got to compile a list of queer reading for one of my favorite student couples (they are adorable; I hope they make it). Yay, useful me and my driving desire to make everyone read Radclyffe Hall and Ed Wood novels!

Re: Reasons for being happy

I decided I was finally going to learn how to do my brows today, so I watched youtube makeup videos till I felt I had the general concept down, plopped myself in front of a mirror...and my brows have never looked so good!! etc-love My mom doesn't wear make-up at all (she's all about the inner beauty) and I never had anyone I was close to to help, so I pretty much have had to learn everything step by step on my own with only the internet as my guide lol.

Also I bought a bunch of beauty products today so wooooo!

Re: Reasons for being happy

We're about a month away from the ten year anniversary of the forum. And, I know, it's kinda dying (they're dying all over), and I wasn't technically here at the beginning because I was genuinely intimidated and mildly traumatized by the anglophone Utena fandom in general online. I felt old ten years ago, and now well, ten more years.

But, ten year anniversary! emot-dance Start getting excited! emot-dance

I think that's remarkable!

Yasha, Gio, satyr are the holy trinity, you know, and this is down to them. Woo woo!

Re: Reasons for being happy

One of the best friends I've ever had have just contacted me after many years' break - we had split up with some bad blood between us - to invite me for her wedding. I'm both excited and really, really anxious. I hope we can make up.

Re: Reasons for being happy

Tomorrow I'll take the last med prescribed by my psychiatrist. If everything will be fine, I'll be meds free.

Things are getting calmer now. I had my struggles and felt shitty and maybe I'll have shitty days - or even weeks - but I strongly believe I'll eventually be fine. My boyfriend learns how to be supportive, he's very sweet, caring and we care a lot about each other. I have friends and I feel surrounded by people who accept me and I feel safe. emot-smile

Life isn't perfect, sometimes memories strike back or I feel a bitter sting when I think about the trauma I've been through but I recover every time and the sting fades away more quickly every time. Breaking the silence was the best thing I did for my interactions with the world. I have amazing people in my life and I feel grateful everytime I spend time with my friends. I feel less scared about my future than I used to me. Things do get better! etc-love

Reading above your reasons for being happy just put a smile on my face. emot-smile
Also, it's a lovely day outside and the beginning week is shaping to be not terrible, so there's that.

Re: Reasons for being happy

1. My articles in the magazine I write for might have been cut, but my name is officially in the credits under Writers.

2. I finally made my first budget today.

Being an adult isn't that hard after all.

Re: Reasons for being happy

Saw students perform, in full costume, musical versions of scenes from Pulp Fiction, The Pearl Princess, and Snow White (with music lifted from various anime, including Utena and Ouran Academy). I feel like just by being in the audience, I have accomplished something with my life.

After four or five freaking years of whining about it on this forum I have steady income and am going to explore two potential apartments with my future roommate tomorrow.
