Happy Birthday to my brother Mark! I just thought I'd give you something fun to think about. If someone can tell me which show I am referring to in the marquee then they win a prize. ^_^ (notice I didn't say what kind of prize. ^_^) Have fun!

My brain is officially mush.
I do love school. I am just really out of shape. I must not have been challenging myself enough. =p Oh well. I would just like to say here that: I Love English and I have The Best Teacher Mrs. Lipper. ^_^ As you all know, my updates are few and far between, in fact this is only my second one *hides from Sora's hugely annoyed stare* so I'm jam packing it with all kinds of goodies. *gets up and starts dancing* Yeay! I got something done. Aren't you proud of me, Sora? On to listing my acomplishments ^_^ I put up My Stories, I changed my About Us blurt, there are some more cosplay pics, Oh and I FINALLY typed up the CLAMP review. *sees Sora jumping up and down*

Nyo! Blue Rose and I are both busy with college so finding time for updates is tough right now. Gomen! Escaped Chapter 6 is up. That concludes what I have written. Now you'll have to wait for me to write more. New picture of me in About Us. You can expect a new pic of Blue Rose soon too. Aparently she doesn't think that I made a great choice in pics of her. Escaped art is open. New author letter in Omake. Expect another one soon! Lastly, new review in My book reviews.
-Sora

01/19/05
Moved two things from Omake to my Random Pics, Chapter 5 of Escaped is up, new Mini Review, info page up for my book idea The Demon Handling Guide. Lastly, that big thing I was talking about is ready.
-Sora

01/10/05
Resized the Loveless image cause it was crazy big, a stupid little thing of mine added to Omake, new Mini Review. My brain seems to have had shut down when I created the Mini Review page, because there was no link to it on the reviews page. Fixed. And, just for you Sarah, Escaped Chapter 4.
-Sora

01/05/05
Escaped Chapter 3 is up. New ad banner on the bottom. Please support us!
I've been writing such short updates lately. Nothing new's been going on to talk about. Um... Uh... Read D.Gray-Man! I had no idea Jap. Shonen Jump had so many good things in it! The English version seems to get the lamer stuff. I wonder why you don't hear about Grayman as much as other SJ stuff. Yeah, it's no Death Note, but it's still awesome. (No. That did not count as a Mini Review :p)
PS: Working on something big that will be completed as soon as a certin package comes in the mail for me. Ooh, aren't you curious?
-Sora

01/01/05
First update of the New Year! Whoo Hoo!!!! Both of us are here together, updating just after midnight! We come bearing gifts in the form of the character profiles for Things Unknown. We hope you all have a happy and blessed New Year. Sleep until luch time tomarrow.
-Sora and Blue Rose

Blah... Got busy with Christmas, then playing with all my new stuff ^vv^ (what kind of face is that?)
Escaped Chapters 1+2 are up! I have lots more written, just need to edit it. Soon...
-Sora

12/17/04
Saw Unfortunate Events today! Expect a mini review tomarrow (or quite soon).
New picture on the side there. Loveless is so cool (catboy! Nyo! =^-^=)
-Sora

12/16/04
The Series of Unfortunate Events movie comes out tomarrow!!!! XD Gonna see it opening day! Kyaaa! It looks so good! And the actors look like the book descriptions (unlike Harry Potter) except Klaus doesn't have glasses but I think that they didn't want him to look like Harry. Heh.
Added plot summeries to my book reviews. New Mini Review.
-Sora

12/12/04
New review in Mini Reviews, Things Unknown Chapter 7 posted, past updates archived, and...*drum roll* our first Monthly Book review! Whooo! From now on, we'll try very hard to properly schedule our monthly reviews.
-Sora

12/08/04
I really don't get that commercial that's on now. 'Is cable better than chocolate?' Ofcouse it is! Cable brings me Full Metal Alchemist, chocolate just makes my throat hurt XP
Lots of new stuff today! Being on Winter break from Jap. class gives me lots of time! Whee! Biggest updates are: Things Unknown chapters are up! Please read it as the two of us and our friend worked very hard writting it! Anime Survey is up! Please take it and send us your answers! And the Mini Reviews I was talking about last time are ready! I really wanted to post more than one today, but I got really tired of typing -_- I also cleaned up/fixed up a few little things around the site. Just look around. Oh yeah, new drawing in my fanart too.

Today you must consider yourself very lucky. I will not blog and or babble. No, my friends, I am just here to tell you about a small update. After each of my manga reviews there is now a link to buy the book from Amazon. If you think a title sounds good, please buy it as I will get some money from Amazon, which will most likely lead to us buying a better domain next year. I also cleaned up the reviews a bit so they should make more sense (that really calls for a funny coment, but I'm all out). Lastly, at this very moment, I'm working on something inspired by Sleepisfortheweak.org . Their mini-review page is a great idea because then I won't wind up bothering you with my opion on everything I've just read or watched (like my rants on Death Note and Chrono Crusade) here on the main page, but instead on a separate page especialy for that. Hooray.
-Sora

See! I don't have an imaginary friend called BlueRose! You're very welcome, Blue. (*grumbles something about this all being Blue's idea in the first place*)
Just wanted to let you know that I have my computer back. The dang thing. First it stops recognizing the modem them it just stopped working all together.
I got a few copic markers with a gift card a I got for my bday *shiny eyes*. Now my art will be all pretty (yeah, right). I joined the anime club at my collage! But...this friday's the last meeting till the spring semester T_T But hopefuly I'll get people to burn fansubs for me *hates not having high speed internet*. I got to watch Kyou Kara Maou last meeting. Funny show. Entertaining but not one of my favorites yet.
As for the site, I'm working on my book reviews, which will be done real soon. I also plan to write a new website review and the summery for the novel I've started writting. Is it just me or do you laugh in side when someone says they're writting a novel? I feel stupid when ever I say I'm writting a novel, but I really am! I don't have any high expectations for it, but I'm writting it and hoping it gets published. Anyway, when it's done I'll post up the little Weiss Kreuz gag doujinshi I'm working on. It's based on an inside joke with some friends.

Thank you all for the patient wait. I now have the first book review up and since I'm just puting it up in the middle of the month it will stay up until the end of December. I am almost done with my first set of book and manga reviews. First set, you ask. Yes. I have soooo many favorites and I just didn't have the heart to leave any out, so I will release the reviews in sets. I may have the first one all typed up by the end of the year if my sister is willing to do it for me. I never know when I will have the time because I have a job at a daycare and I sew clothes for people and I'm working on a huge top secret project which may be disclosed at a later date so... That's all that I can think of for now. Keep watching for more exciting things coming to TheRoseGarden. -Blue Rose

Ph33r!

I love Halloween.

That was a panel from Bleach, by the way. Such a good manga. It's now my second favorite Shonen Jump title after Death Note. So, it's Halloween today. Blue Rose and I went trick or treating as a shinigami (an angel of death, really) and Maria from Star Ocean 3 respectivly. Blue's friend, who came too, was dressed just like a Prince of Tennis character! I think she was supossed to be a pirate or some thing, though. But she had like a blue jacket and a red head band! All she needed was for the jacket to say 'Seigaku' on it. So I had another birthday. 16 now T_T I dun wanna be old! Older=More responsibility! Got a ton of money, so I bought the last two Pretear DVDs *yay*. Blue gave me a $20 WaldenBooks card to buy Hands Off and Legal Drug manga. Can't wait to get them. Jupi-chan, who is way too cool, drew me a pic of Yuki and Tohru as a gift! See, see!
Oh, you wanna know about the site, huh? That's why you're really here? You mean it's not to listen to me rant about my life? Fine, then. Moved the links to other sites to their own page and added a picture from Death Note to my manga reviews just because I can. Plus, love that picture :p It's from the start of the chapters where Raito/Light/Kira is chained to L/Ryuuzaki. Hee hee.
-Sora
PS: My main computer doesn't have interent now so I'm not updating again until that's fixed. It shouldn't be too long.

10/08/04
Added on to my manga reviews. Added plot summeries and a review of Death Note to it.
I've been reading way too many scanslations latly. Every time I decide to download more Never Give Up, another chapter of something else I want comes out. I want to get all 30 something chapters before they take it down >_< *goes to download Shinshi Doumei Cross* Arina Tanemura manga is always so good.
-Sora

09/27/04
Hey! When I typed the date I realized it's exactly one month till my birthday! I'm so excited! I wanna buy the 3rd Pretear and the 1st Spiral DVD with any money I get. Haven't seen new Pretear in a long time >_<
Nothing new on the site today. Just letting you all know the site's still being worked on. I'm going to work on writing the story summery for Nekozuki when I get time.
I feel like blogging a little today. I'll probabnly blog here (mostly about anime/manga stuff) often as well as update. Anyway, I've had the luck to be able to watch more anime then usual latly (usual being my Saturday TV stuff).
I bought the first Chrono Crusade DVD. I was actually saving my money to buy Pretear 3 but CC was on sale for $20 at Media Play and I just had to get it. I've been wanting to see it for a while because everyone I'm watching on Deviantart.com is into it it sounded like something I'd like. I was a little surprised at all the zombie kind of things and stuff. I guess I didn't expect it to be so dark. Well, Joshua was cool. Can't wait to see more of him. Chrono is such a cute, well mannered little demon *hug* And he's voiced by Akira Ishida! The seiyuu for Kaworu from Evangelion! I only watched a few minutes subbed though cause it seemed fitting to watch it in English due to the fact that it takes place in NewYork *yeah for NY!*
Got the second tape of Escaflowne from the library. Good series. It brings back memories of when I watched it on Fox years ago when I first got into anime. Lastly, got a free DVD of the first ep of Flame of Recca with my Animerica magazine this month. Hmm... Yu Yu Hakusho rip off. Maybe because it's done by the same studio? Well, I'd watch it if it came on TV but I'd never ever pay money for it.
Wow. I wrote alot. Well, I'll try to give you a real update soon. Please draw on the oekaki!
-Sora

09/16/04
Oekaki up! Draw or die!
I've been reading scanslations of the manga Death Note every free moment I get. It's soooooo facsinating! I should do a review of it. What's that? I should finsh my other reviews first? Ah, well. Anyway, read Death Note. You won't be sorry.
Oh yeah! This site has the best Death Note cosplay ever. They've also got amazing Wolf's Rain and Fruits Basket cosplay too.

Addded a counter working on the oekaki. -Sora

Hajime mashite! Sora desu! The Rose Garden is officially opening today! I've closed my old site Broken Image, but moved the better content to this page. Anyway, I wanted to open it on Monday, which was Blue Rose's birthday, but I got a bad cold (it's all you're fault, Rose!) and couldn't think straight enough to work on this. Alot of things aren't up yet, but I really am working on it. Unfortunatly, I don't have as much free time as I did when I started writing this site because I'm taking a Japanese course, which eats all my free time. Anyway, please enjoy what's here for now. Don't forget to check out the message board!
Ja ne! -Sora
