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

I think that's more Calvin and Hobbes

Well, I've always beared a strong resemblance to Calvin...

I like to think that posting in a thread that is still on the first page is not necro. Not necro, dammit! But I heard something the other day I enjoyed.

All-too-true.
EDIT: Now that I think about it though, it's actually a con. You keep getting older, but you stop maturing fairly early. I'd guess 25 at most...
EDIT EDIT: Not that I'd know, I probably stopped maturing around 12.

You think? Do you mean mentally or physically? Because I think you keep maturing in both aspects as you get older. I mean, for a while you'll stay somewhat the same mentally, but it's always said how wise the elderly are...
It's more experience than it is age, I suppose.
That is, unless you have a cock. Then, yeah, you stop in both aspects after puberty hits. [I'm kidding. Sort of.]

Well, to be fair, you do keep maturing, but after 25 at the oldest, the things you rely on maturity to help you with don't get any better. Nervous around women? Never goes away. Self-conscious about what you say to your friends? That's a lifetime companion too. You mostly just learn to fake it better, or at least that's my experience. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine Giovanna with sweaty palms around a cute girl, isn't it? Maybe some people do get better about that?

Oh lord don't talk about age *whimpers*

You're 19 now, though. The world is your oyster!
If anyone is worried about age here, it's me. I am, literally, the youngest person here.

When I have enough money to pay for my own travel, maybe I can see this oyster of which you speak . In highlight of your supreme maturity though, I have to say, that is hardly a worry.

And that's it for now. I'd add more to the first quote but I think that might disturb some people.

Mum: Honey, its time to wake up!
Me: I don’t wanna get up yet!
Mum: Don’t you know that the early bird gets the worm?
Me: Well in that case, this little worm is gonna stay in for a little while longer.
Mum: ......

Tama, what the hell? I literally laughed out loud. And since I'm sure most of you don't know the timezones [well, I don't anyway], it's almost 4:00 AM here in a house full of sleeping people. You're going to get me in trouble, you.
Alright, so this just makes me smile;

I love how he always refers to Stefan and Steve as his husbands. I suppose that's accurate. Well, according to Stef it's not;

Aw. I wish I was more of a Steve/Stefan fan, but I'm just not. Molsdal, OTP. Sorry.

Sorry hun, I do forget that the time isn't the same for everyone and that some of yous are logging on really late and that you have parents who will chew you out if they catch you at this late (or is it that early) in the morning.
But its always good to know that pre-caffinated brain is able to come up with a good zigger straight after from been woken up.

AARRRGGGHHH! I was about to quote one of my favorites from Nietzsche about the glory of the sun and the blindness it causes, but I can't remember it and I can't find my copy of Zarathustra!

In think you can find it from the Net for free. It's public domain, after all. Check the Gutenberg Project, for starters-

sigh...it's just not the same.
EDIT:I got desperate enough to look for it online, but all I could find was the old Thomas Common translation, which is so bad it offends my soul...YEKH!
So just a brief quote then:

Sing along:
Here comes the bride is a lovely little diddy
but marrying for love is a foolish thing to do,
cos love won't pay the morgage
or put porridge in your bowl,
deary,
marry the mole
Thumbelina (years on and this is the only song I remember, oh and 'she's ugly!' I remember that one)
Romeo and Juliete were very much in love when they were wed. But where are they now, they're dead, dead, very very dead
Awww chidhood memories

Lately I feel really confused. I don't know who am I and what do I really want to do in future. That's quite ironic as I am described as "man of his word" and "more mature than giggling girls". I don't like bombast, but it's horrible being waverer. (Calm down little girl, it's just an effect of hormonetherapy)

Bitchy stickers - I'm sure everyone has seen them, but this one will forever remain in my mind: Marriage? No thanks, I can't mate in captivity.
