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

In no particular order, actually. Though a lot of these are "would like to do this before I turn 40." Unfortunately, with less than a year left to go, there isn't much chance of *that*.
1) Get debt-free again.
2) Buy about 100 acres of land, with a liveable Victorian farmhouse, the remnants of an old orchard, and plenty of land to build on.
3) Build a half-earthed eco-happy house for us, and renovate the farmhouse for guests.
4) Own a Schipperke, an Airedale, some dwarf goats, and a llama, as well as all the cats that could possible fit in the house peaceably.
5) Stop working in corporate hell and support myself and my family by writing best-selling, groundbreaking, feminist novels and short stories.
6) Visit my friends in New Zealand!
7) See Ireland, England, Germany, and Greece, at least.
8) Adopt a couple of children.
9) Write and produce a successful line of tabletop RPGs, RPG videogames, comic books, and/or movies.
10) Get rid of all my chronic anxiety-produced conditions by finding inner peace.

Maybe you can make another list of ten KTK. I don't think there should be a rule for this, it's just for fun, right? I mean, I highly doubt I'll ever have an orgy with The Spice Girls, but a girl can dream. More things have been popping into my mind, too. More logical things. Maybe I should have made my number ten "Do ten more things".

I knew this thread would grow fast.....

In no particular order...
1. Be second best. Or whoever waits on the first best. I'm thinking in a Fuyutsuki to Gendo kind of way.
2. Stop being lazy.
3. Be happy.
4. Give kendo lessons to little kids in little hakama
5. Have an army of plushies.
6. Get my Chinese back. Why can I barely speak now (And my porr accents back TT__TT)
7. Write a book. I don't care if its 'Angelfish Care for Kids,' something about CFIDS, architecture or an autobiography.
8. Go visit all my friends I've never met
9. travel. I hate Texas.
10. NOT kill myself. X__x ...And hopefully live a decent amount of time.
11. get a cat. I want a cat dammit.
Though my own museum piece is intriguing....

dollface is going to break invisible, probably nonexistent rules and make another list, because thoughts are plaguing her.
Ten Things I Actually Will Do Before I Die:
1. Learn to cook. Now that I think back on some things my mother makes, let's revise that. Cook well.
2. Learn to sew. I've always wanted to be able to make my own clothes. I'd even like to have my own clothing line.
3. Learn to speak/read/write Japanese. I just picked up the lasted issue of Cure, and looking back, it's pathetic that I own so many magazines in Japanese and I can't even read them.
4. See Dir en grey live. I'll die, I swear I will.
5. See A Fire Inside live. I'll attempt to live after Diru in order to see DxH.
6. I still want to visit Japan very badly, so I'm going to keep it on this list, too.
7. Meet all the people I'm friends with online in person. This goes for people on AIM, forums, Myspace, VampireFreaks, and of course, IRG.
8. Make a cheap indie film about my life, and the lives of those closest to me, and have it win some award at the Sundance Film Festival.
9. March in a Gay Pride Parade. I've always wanted to, but of course, I never have. We don't have any sort of pride here in Bumfuck, NC.
10. Give my friends the chance they deserve at genuine happiness.
Maybe I should go delete my other list. Or edit it and say it's gone. I don't know, I probably shouldn't have written this second list.

Kind of random, but I wonder what an IRG Movie would be like?
Offline
The short answer is beautiful. I imagine it would be a complicated yet somehow easily derailed plot involving poptarts and suits. It'd probably be about 9-12 hours long, because we'll keep getting side-tracked and having unprotected sex.
Offline
Yum
Somehow, your mentioning of pop tarts and suits reminds me of Paradise Kiss, that and when Utena turns into a car, and that suit the movie!Akio wore!
By suit, though, do you mean just suit, or something that has a bourgeois taste?

So, basically it'll be a Warhol flick?

Basically, yes. We've all got some Factory Girl in us. Or at least, we all will by the end of the film

7.) I want to be the star in a movie that's a box office smash.

Oh man! Traveling! I'd love to visit Japan sometimes... Sometimes I imagine what my life would be like if I had moved to Japan at some point in my life.

Well, what I'd wanna do before I become an inert mass of rotting tissues with rigor mortis setting in? (I DON'T THINK SO, I WANNA BE BURNINATED DAMMIT!) Huhuhu...you just asked the wrong question of lil' old me...
FEAR. In no particular order, ten things I dream of doing before I commit myself to the World Beyond Life...
1. Get the best blowjob in the fucking world. Preferably the thing that makes me die is the blood rushing from my heart to my penis.
2. Take over the Microsoft Empire.
3. Torture somebody I hate very, VERY slowly and squickily and painfully. Just to see if I could do it.
4. Force Nickelodeon/Viacom into bankruptcy so Invader Zim gets more screentime.
5. Win an argument with my mom...legitamately. No "I give up" crap from her!
6. Watch a bunch of people burn at the stake. Or maybe hang by their necks 'til dead.
7. Watch Angel of Darkness (Still haven't watched it)
8. While I'm at it, finish watching Utena. This includes the movie.
9. Hunt down Ikuhara's ass and beat some fuckin' answers out of him. (Hell, I'll start a thread on this one!)
10. Go to a goddamn IRG forum meet and squee in awe at the people I respect and worship...and occasionally slam. But not too hard, you know.
