This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
I fence. And say it all the time.

The first thing you do when you get your new cell phone is make Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku your new ringtone.
You don't go to a dance because you're afraid your dress will melt.
You suddenly get a thing for men in aprons (i.e. Saionji and Akio).
You won't celebrate Easter 'cause it's cruel to eggs.

...okay I feel less dumb then. Although it still confused the hell out of the people who heard me!

You know you're going to die of SKU overload when you look at UPC labels and giggle while trying to hum your fave duel theme.
Bonus points if you hum Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku.
Double bonus points if you sing it in Japanese.

You hear a gym whistle, and want to shout Sugi.
Or if know that what Juri says is actually tsugi.
Sugi might be translated to "past," or "after."
Tsugi is "next."
Don't make baby Juri cry next time you step up to the strip and put your mask on!

When you're watching the news, and a reporter at The White House in Washington DC says that there was a press conference "in the rose garden", you think of this forum.

Mr. President, if you are holding a press conference here, kindly let us know in advance so we can have slash artwork prepared for the occasion.

All of the following is totally true, by the way.
1. ... given a lavender rose corsage for homecoming.
2. ... had two dreams about Anthy and Utena... having sex.
3. ... have a handsome black older brother, older by ten years, and every one of your friends wants in his pants.
4. ... none of your friends understand your constant SKU references, and you are the one laughing at them.
5. ... imagine what it would be like if you attended Ohtori.
6. ... imagine dressing as Anthy/Shiori for halloween, but not having any friends who would voluntarily go as Utena/Juri.
7. (and probably the worst of them all) ... you cut and dye your hair and later realize that you look like Anthy, being a half-black girl with green eyes.

I just received a wedding invitation in the mail.
It came in an envelope with a wax red rose seal on the back.
My heart starting pounding faster before I realized what it actually was.

When do the rest of us get our letters from End of the World?

Ah ha ha, lucky you! I probably would have gotten excited too.

Oh god!!! Now I see an image of Juri in wheelchair , Miki hard at hearing, and Touga... still believes he's the lady's man. Well, he probably will still be when he's in his 80's. It'll be like Golden Girls, Sexy and the City style.

It's where Anthy sent Miki's mom.

You do covertly do slightly bitchy things and upon reflection think I am just channeling my inner Anthy. Bonus points for small hidden half smile.

Did you know that the largest spike in STD infection has been in nursing homes ever since the invention of pills for erectile dysfunction? There's been a lot of reports of ridiculous things like orgies going on, sometimes with alzheimers patients who later can't remember a thing. NOW GET THAT IMAGE OUT OF YOUR BRAIN.
Also, I'm not ashamed to say that if I got a letter with a wax rose seal on it I would promptly freak the hell out. Although now I kind of want to do that if I ever get married...along with a whole bunch of other things. I need to stop reading Offbeat Bride.

...when a college you really want to go to sends you awesome postcards and you look for hidden meanings or pictures
...when you are as pleased as you are freaked out by the fact that you and your (brilliant) boyfriend are continually mistaken for one another and own a lot of the same clothing. And there are rumors about you and nearly everybody loves him. (wtf I'm Kozue!)
