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

YKYWTMSKUW...

(...and I'm honestly surprised someone hasn't started THIS thread yet. Seriously. Anyway...)

...you play Rappelz, and you create a new character named TougaKiryuu*...

...and within the limits of the game, he looks just LIKE Touga(except for shorter hair).

(* It wasn't my first choice, really, but TokiWartooth was taken, lol.)

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

You post in the Saionji thread because you can't even get through an episode of Star Trek: TNG without thinking of SKU.

AHAHAHA! I must go sketch them in those crazy outfits.

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

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

You Know You Watch Too Much SKU When...

...you ask the people at Sea World when will they get around to exhibiting 'Elephants on Surfboards'?

...you watch a sword swallower and think, "I bet he cant pull one out of his chest as easily"

...you try squeezing a couple of dozen snails in your pencilbox and when you reopen it, you are shocked to find that they all have broken shells.

...you attempt to recreate the 'Body Swapping Curry'...

...and somehow you succeed...

...and you find yourself in the body of a mouse that looks like a monkey!

...you never look at Shadow Puppets quite the same way again.

...you inadvertently caused a kitten holocaust from etc-wankdudeetc-wankdudeetc-wankdude or etc-wankgirletc-wankgirletc-wankgirl way too much to your favourite SKU character(s). (See below)

When I first heard it, it rang in my head for weeks. I constantly found myself silently humming it, whenever I didn't pay attention. It has a damn good rythm, I suppose...

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

... you and your wife exchanged rose signets and now wear them all the time as, essentially, your wedding rings.

... you're wrestling with vanity plate choices, and are having problems deciding between WAKABA, ANTHY, OHTORI, and TENJOU for your new car...

... which you somehow regret not being red.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

1) your scrolling screen saver is the chick speech
2) you laugh when ever someone mentions "Toga Party"
2-b) you think of Touga party instead of toga party
3) you recreate the entire campus overview out of mashed potatoes, broccoli and carrots. ( >_< i totally did that at an applebee's)
4) you asign all your friends a rose color.
5) the only way you can decide on anything is through dueling
5-b) you can actually set up a full duel
6) you can associate every and any song you hear with an utena situation (like what im doing with "i can feel it in the air tonight")
7) you replicate the sword of dios in anything you can get your hands on (me- cardbored tube, brush handle split wood painted silver and bent lamp post. tootsie rolls and or twist ties)
8) you come up with a line of utena merchendise and plan to market it (a-la sword of dio's toothpicks!)


......uh thats good for my contribution.....
i believe by posting that much and putting thought into this is just another reason..

etc-love 9) you post on "the rose garden".....OFTEN! etc-love

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

You name all of your pets Nanami.

You take up fencing or kendo because they make it look so sexy.

You've learned more about symbolism and literary analysis from discussing the show with fellow fans than from any English class you've ever taken. (Guilty as charged)

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

... you want to study at Ohtori Academy.

... you would cry out 'Akio' when you meet a tall black boy with white hair.

... you want to dye your school uniform pink (for Utena fans) or the uniform color of your favourite student council member.

... you observe every single rose closely, so that you will never miss a chance to find a ring in a rose.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

I lived on the fifth floor of my elevatorless dorm at the University of Chicago, and I swear to God I did the Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku thing at least once a day.

I also kept getting the "trumpet fanfare for Ohtori Academy" theme stuck in my head while walking around campus.

And... hmm... what else... oh yeah, I recreated the entire dueling game for my anime club.  That counts, I think.

In one of the very, very early layouts for the Akio shrine (I sucked back then), I used pictures of my mother's boyfriend's legs and hands in the layout. I mention that now because he's black and it reminded me of it. emot-smile

He never knew what it was for, really.

Also yeah, I think satyreyes wins. Although I did leave out the LOLLER OBVIOUS 'built a huge website for the series', didn't I?
