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

OMG Muraki!
Well, I'm not embarassed by this, but other people are...I have an unheathly obsession my blanket. I've had it since I was eight, and it's ratty as hell, but I refuse to get rid of it! It's so comfy and warm, and I'd carry it around Linus-style if I could get away with it. Oh, and also, I (19) still suck my thumb. Again, I don't really care, but other people seem to.

This thread is the reason why I have the theme song to Yami no Matsuei stuck in my head. I don't think that I had a favorite character when I watched it, but I was such a goodie-good back then that I inevitably hated Muraki.

I didn't stop sucking my thumb until sometime late in elementary school. One day I just stopped all together without even realizing it. Same thing with nail biting. I still have a habit where I'll rip up the tags on my shirts, though.

I still love Fruits Basket. (Which reminds me, I bought the latest volume of the manga and still haven't read it...)
Edit: Now I have to go listen to that song again.

I sucked my thumb until I was about 10, when my mother finally decided to bribe me. She made a deal with me that if I could go a week (maybe two weeks?) without sucking my thumb she would buy me a couple video games. It's such an unconscious thing that one does it without thinking, but the bribe got me to think twice every time my thumb was about to go to my mouth. After going the amount of time, it was easy to not do it anymore. I'm always biting on pens and pencils these days though, so I'm sure I've just replaced it with that. In a weird twist, I've tried putting my thumb in my mouth just to see, and it feels gross now.

It's too bad that my mother never tried bribing me with video games. Or maybe she really did try it at some point, and it just never worked.

I...erm...love the band Toybox. Shut up, they're so cheesy that it's good! *runs away*
Offline
That's the band that did Russian Lullaby, right? I haven't heard anything else by the group, but I like that song just fine.
Looking them up, I think that's right. And thinking along those lines, I confess: I thought the A*Teens were adorable.

I LOVE shitty TV. Top 50 Celebrity Breakdowns? Tv's 100 hardest men? Documentaries about kids with multiple limbs? Miami Ink? Yes.
But I hate normal TV.....good thing I'm usually up at Otaku o'clock. XD

I'm embarrassed about enjoying fanservice in anime When they mention that in this episode they're going to the hot springs I roll my eyes but salivate a little bit. It seems like such a stereotypical, chauvinistic thing to enjoy, but there it is.
There are lots of other things I'm embarrassed about, but they feel more like fodder for IFD threads like Secrets or Angst, or for keeping to myself.

I haven't seen it They all have hot springs episodes, though. Utena is unusual not to have one.

i collected Yami no Matsuei in its entirety, simply to have more of him.
moving on to less charming things, i sometimes snort when i laugh, and every time someone hears me do it, i pretend it never happened.
&i often completely refuse to reveal my gender to people i talk to online-- not because i'm trying to be aloof or interesting, but because the truth embarrasses me. and it embarrasses me that it embarrasses me.
i don't tell this to a lot of people, but-- i'm such a geek for the movie of Interview with the Vampire that i sat through six hours of it, back to back, four of which were in spanish, a language in which i am not fluent. and when i've got my hands on a video or dvd copy, i'll often rewind that bit between Armand and Louis --you know, the "almost kiss"?-- and try to will with all of my power for their lips to meet.
'kay, done for now.
wait--
no, yeah, done.

I have dreams about a guy, and he makes me feel like the best girl in the history of ever. He's perfect and gorgeous and amazing...and he doesn't actually exist, but I still obsess about him. Fuck, I've got his fucking name carved into my fucking arm.

Despite knowing how crappy the Disney company is, I still enjoy certain Disney channel shows. If I just want to not think about anything, I put on Zack and Cody or Life With Derek or Hannah Montana. I also liked the first two High School Musical movies. Their songs are so catchy.
Even though I like a lot of darker themed media and art, I have a soft spot for cute things. This could be either shows or characters. For instance, I think Wakaba and Renge from Ouran Host Club are cute, not annoying. And those adorable little brother types (Momiji, Hunny), I just want to hug 'em and never let go. 3 I like kittens too. I'm just like Kasanoda from Ouran.
I also go on 4chan. I guess I should feel embarrassed about that. But I usually stick to either /c/, /cm/, /y/, or /u/. Most of the pics are crap, but there's more decent or good stuff than you'd expect.

I honest-to-goodness started crying in the middle of Drag Me To Hell.
I'll give you a non-spoiler hint: it was the non-human casualty.

I read fanfiction, a lot.

I may legit be in love with this girl.I don't even know what's going on with her. It's crazy. She's fucking amazing, though. And I hate that I've fallen for her like this. It's mortifying...

I totally know how you feel; I felt the same when I fell in love with my boyfriend, because I was an extremely proud and overly obvious lesbian and all that. I hated that some boy could make me feel that way emotionally and sexually. And I hated that he was the most amazing person ever.
Hopefully you'll eventually give into your feelings though; love is not a bad thing to be in. Best of luck with her!
My own embarrassing secret: I am 20 years old and I still have my baby blanket. Which I sleep with. Pretty much every night. I tell almost no one I know in person about this. Because it's ridiculous. And ruins my whole "I'm an adult now" thing.

I think it was because we couldn't have horses or afford riding lessons when I was a kid. I never really got over being horse crazy. And I still can't afford riding lessons or a horse.

Seconded, although I'm the next circle of sad up from this and actually write the tossing things. Also, your avatar made me squee a bit.

Oh, and satyreyes, Love Hina is set in a hotspring.

Ha ha, shows what I know I did see an anime -- I think it was Niea_7 -- in which the main character's parents owned a hot spring resort, but bizarrely I don't think there were any actual hot spring episodes in the usual sense.
I'm embarrassed to admit this (though it will come as no surprise to people who know me), but I seem to have a problem with being compulsively impatient. This has come out with all the driving I've done in the last few days. I never drive the speed limit if I can get away with speeding, and I'm constantly glancing at my GPS to see what my estimated arrival time is and how it's changing as I sit at a stoplight or go eighty down a stretch of interstate. :/
