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

Sh-Sh-Shiori!
It's February 2nd, and the groundhogs can all do whatever they please.
Happy birthday, Shiori! 
If you were 16 in 1997, you'd be 29 this year; 13 years, and you're getting better each one.
So, everyone, remember to keep your roses orange and your innocence cruel!
ah, man does not exist; ah, within the darkness; ah, the sound of the waves

Re: Sh-Sh-Shiori!
I nearly forgot it was Shiori's birthday until someone mention that the groundhog had seen it's shadow.
Happy birthday, Shiori!

Happy Birthday Shiori!
I am strangely comforted by the fact that most of the SKU characters are very close in age to me.

Happy birthday Shiori!
I never realized that I am the same age as the Utena cast... Makes me wonder what they would be like now, 13 years later. Did they manage to keep their nobility in the midst of dreams, tears, hurts and approaching reality?

LOL, who are you telling? I'm exactly 3 days younger than Saionji. 
Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.

Happy birthday, Shiori!!! I didn't realize that you're 5 months my senior - well, next year we'll meet in the Botox line!

I'll see y'all there -- with my slushy bag of margarita. Once I get around to freezing it. 
It takes forty-seven New Zealanders eight months to make just one batch of 42 Below Vodka. ...luckily, that leaves one of us free to be Prime Minister.

I still think if she was real, she'd get into psychology. Just because.
...isn't it interesting that she's born on the day also known as Imbolc (in the belly)?

Re: Sh-Sh-Shiori!
It's that time of year again! Happy Birthday, my dear Shiori! 
Holy cow, it's the big 3-0! It's strange to think that so much time has passed since the original airing of the series that many characters are now in their thirties! Blows my mind.
