the leaves are coming out more and more!
this weather reminds me of when i was in new orleans years ago....
warm, foggy, humid as hell, rainish, grey grey grey.
everything feels damp
now i want a dehumidifier. that's next on my list

my body and mind are teetering on the dreamstate

jason woke me up with the phone a bit ago and i told him part of my dream i was having right them about an english teacher named elizabeth mayday who was so hateful and fearful of me, but i didn't know why...
and about my telepathic frog i got and how our friendship evolved over time
still stuck on the last day of school which is my recurring dream, but at least it's becoming more and more of a nonissue in my dream.
rollerskating around the halls of the school/governmentbuilding/hospital

my colourful dreams are stil waiting for me beyond this grey day..still replaying..they are just foggy from this side of the fence

i have coca cola now and that is good

i wrote this for the chicago tribune just now [01 May 2001|03:06pm]
i don't know if anything i say will make it in...and i hope to god that they do not edit my sentences so that things are taken out of context. so i'm posting this here, so u can see what i really said as opposed to what they might edit it to be ( IF they use any of my quotes at all)

here was the letter:

Hi, Ana,
I'm writing a story for the Chicago Tribune about fame circa 2001.If
you're willing and able, I'd like to interview you for the story. I've
included a few questions below; if you're cool with being interviewed
and have a few minutes to e.mail the answers back to me, that would be
great.
Thanks much.

+++++why do you do Anacam? does it have anything to do with trying to
become famous?

##### i started anacam as an experiment in communication. to communicate my experiences to the world like a giant "show and tell" and get to hear other's experiences as well. throughout the 4 years i've been doing this, i have come to the conclusion that my site is not about me at all, but rather i giant mirror that reflects back the viewers own psyche. anacam is a giant ink blot :) i don't do this to be famous, i do it to communicate to as many people as possible...and to do that, fame is obviously a side effect of doing that. it's also very much a feminist project as i become the icon of the fake breasted blonde girl, and then blow that icon up from the inside by doing the opposite of what is expected of that icon.

+++++do you consider yourself to be famous (in any way)?

since several million people have visited anacam, and i have been on tv around the world, and magazines around the world, and even been on the cover of newsweek and my anacam has been shown in the museum of modern art in new york, i think it's safe to say i am SOMEWHAT famous. cult staus perhaps :)

+++++if so, at what point did you realize you were famous? if not, at
what point do you think you will have achieved some sort of fame?

i felt somewhat famous right away, as i was the 2nd 24/7 cam on the net (the first being jennicam, of course) and i was about the 7th camgirl on the net and i was the first to call my anacam Art.... there weren't many cams, and i am pretty weird so when i got on the net my site exploded with people and i ended up on hardcopy, vibe, E!, newsweek, yahoo internet life, playboy, new york times...etc. it was absolutely wild and wonderful. i didn't know which way the wind was blowing! it has died down now since there are SO many cams, but i still have a hardcore "audience" of around 10,000 people

+++++do you think it's easier to become famous now because of the
Internet (or other things like reality TV)? is that a different kind of fame?

definitely. the avenues for communication are exploding open and ideas and knowledge are being dispersed around the world at lightning speed. it is absolutely fascinating to watch this Renaissance in communication evolve :)

+++++ how do you define fame? is fame important or relevant to you? who
do you consider to be famous?

fame is when a ton of people know about you. the more people that know who u are , the more famous u are.
it's just a side effect of what i do, it's not what motivates me at all, but because it is such an interesting side effect i do definitely pay attention to it and all the
preconceived stereotypical ideas that automatically come with it, like " if u are famous u are rich", "if u are famous u are having your ego fed 24/7 and everyone is kissing your ass" and "famous people don't talk to the common people and are snobs who refuse to live in reality" and the biggest one of alln that is the most hurtful is that when u are famous many people have a hard time seeing u as a real person, u become icon-shaped punching bag for everyone's insecurities. there are also very kind people as well, i have met the most astounding cool people on this planet. they are what keeps me going :)

it would take a book to tell u who i think is famous so i'll just say my favourite famous person " tori amos" :)
