As Geoffrey and I discuss ways to shed all semblance of artistic integrity (Styx’s “Come Sail Away” set to Tenchi Muyo footage, for instance), it dawns on me that it’s kinda Friday. Which makes it PPF time. Perhaps I should, to quote any number of Monty Python sketches, “Get on with it!”
PAST – At some point in our childhood we’re each one of us an artist of some sort, even if it’s just a scam artist. Tell us about something you created and showed off to parents and friends. Preferably it should be something with high embarrassment potential, of course.
(I designed a vehicle of some sort once, all done with a straight-edge tool and pencil. Somehow I managed to have it shown off as part of the school’s art exhibit. It was ruddy awful. I should’ve stuck to writing. Then again, we can see how that’s turned out, can’t we?)
PRESENT – What was your most recent artistic endeavor, regardless of whether it’s seen the light of day?
(Mwahahahaha… I am a four-time anime music video creator. Damn, but I do rock this town.)
FUTURE – When they’ve perfected the direct interface between your thoughts and the tools so that pure imagination is all it takes to create any kind of imagery you see fit, what’s the first thing you’ll dazzle mankind with?
(A series of spectacular light shows set to music. Not videos, but shapes and beams and fogs and color, changing and pulsating in the sky. Magic in the air, oh yes.)

Hey, that’s a nice page! Please also visit mine and just leave a comment somewhere if you like. I update several times a day, perfect place if you’re bored. Read my biography and share your thoughts and experiences with me, see my movie reviews, I’m a movie junkie and watch about everything. Have a nice day! Much love, Michelle 🙂
P.S. Maybe you wanna even affiliate with me?
(the text of my email to Michelle is as follows)
Hi! You have a very… ah, busy page. (The RealPlayer stuff crashed my browser, so I had to check it out from a different computer.) I’d like to suggest that, in the future, when you want to leave comments so people will visit your site, that you please pick an appropriate journal entry to comment upon. You may or may not have noticed that what you commented on was a blog meme called “Past, Present, Future,” and the idea is to leave a comment with either your answers or a link to the answers on your own site. The impression you gave was that of someone just spamming websites for hits, which is probably not what you intended or how you want people to perceive you.
That said, I wish you luck as an online personality, and good luck with the site design. I’ll check in from time to time to see how you’re doing and what you have to say.
(I don’t think I’ve ever considered “affiliating” with anybody, sorry…)
i’ll comment on the past question. 4th grade. PRODUCT MARKETING and teams. we had came up with an idea to make and market some “misty morning” perfume. had a whole jingle and everything. i was proud.
the nite before, while watching tv.. i had heard my first Mennon commericial. you rememeber those? aresol sprays and men’s cologne and the ilk… with the tag “by mennon”?
well, i sorta liked that idea so the next day, when i went to give the presentation, i added it to the end of it.
they laughed.
Ok, I’ve finally done a ppf. On my site, there you go
Mine are pretty darn dopey but here they are!
if i asked real purty, i bet i could get you to affiliate with me *grin*
my PPF is up and running!

The very first thing I created was a drawing on a plate, which my mother still has… I was 3. It’s still very cute, though I’m rather embarrassed by it.
PRESENT – What was your most recent artistic endeavor, regardless of whether it’s seen the light of day?
I created a new Elizabethan gown in January. I haven’t done anything since then, though I’m toying with the idea of yet another one… We’ll see.
FUTURE – When they’ve perfected the direct interface between your thoughts and the tools so that pure imagination is all it takes to create any kind of imagery you see fit, what’s the first thing you’ll dazzle mankind with?
My own songs, created for a 400 person orchestra, etc. It should be rather impressive.
hee hee!
