it's was gorgeous here yesterday..in
the 70's and it is again today. i'm going to try to get outside right after
i put up this anagram. yesterday i wanted to go outside, but then the sunlight
inspired me to make these pictures..and i was torn over what to do..so i made
the pictures 'cause if i feel inspired, then i just want to go with that.
i would've made more, but then the sun started going down :( it goes down
so early now :( and then last night i woke up with a headache and went into
the living room and stared out the window for a few hours, until 6am or so..and
then sun didn't even come up! i hate that the days are so short, but it's
really cool that it's so nice outside. even if i don't go out there, i open
th windows and deiter loves running up the black chair by the window and looking
outside. he looks out the window a lot, i don't kow what he's looking at when
he looks out there, because he looks out there at night, too, and there just
isn't much to see! nothing that is moving anyway...but i like looking out
my windows, so i guess it makes sense athat he would , too. it's funny how
pooka has no interest at all in looking out the window. he hates to be put
on the windowsill ledge, he gets scared. but deiter loves to climb up on everything.
deiter also watches himself in the mirror a lot! but pooka never does. deiter
also looks at stuff that is not even there. sometimes i wonder if he sees
spirits or something..not that i've ever felt that my house is haunted or
anything. like one night deiter just sat there for a long time looking at
something and backing up, jason and i were trying to figure out what he was
looking at. at first i thought it was the round mirror, so i turned it against
the wall to see if he'd stop looking at whatever he was looking at. but he
kept looking. then i thought maybe it was my computer monitors, so i turned
those off, but he kept looking at something very intently as if someone were
in the room. it was really strange. i didn't feel any weird presences in the
room. who knows...maybe he can see beings from other dimensions or angels
or something. i've always wanted 2 see an angel..but never have...that i know
of. i used to jut talk to angels, asking them if they would PLEASE appear
to me. but i never saw one appear. i'd buy books about angels, and stories
about people who have encountered angels. in fact, i have a great desire to
add a section to anacam that is just dedicated to people's angels stories.
i intend to do that sometime soon. i am so fascinated with angels. it would
seem they are for real from all the angel stories there are. i find it really
comforting. if u have an angel story you'd like 2 send me, send it to anacam@camgirl7.com
i also want 2 have a section about alien encounters. who knows, perhaps angels
are aliens? i mean, that some aliens are angels. i believe there are many
different races of aliens. perhaps different kinds of angels , too?\
ow, i burned the roof of my mouth on pizza yesterday.
i've been listening to prince's best hits and b-sides 3 cd set lately a lot. it goes well with the sunshine :) i can't believe it's so warm out. in the 70's! global warming! scary.
i'm going to be in san francisco for new year's eve! just bought tickets and surprised me! if anyone knows of any special new year's parties or events in san francisco for new year's eve please let me know! i wonder if anyone will even be watching my cam when the midnight hour strikes? somehow i doubt it! but i'll bring my cam just in case :) at least i'll keep the pictures 2 show later :)
i received a video cassette yesterday of my conversation/interview with tori amos! i was scared 2 watch it. but i really was ok. i was calm and didn't seem weird, thank god! i will have to watch it a few more times before i comment on it!
and i received all the edward gorey books i ordered! i got: the epiplectic
bicycle, the water flowers, amphigorey, amphigorey too, amphigorey also! i
want everything he ever did!
and i wish dame darcy's book would come out! i have all her "meatcake" comics, and she is suposed to have a book out at www.heck.com..it was supposed to be out spring 1999, but nothing ever happened. i wonder what she's doing? i want to know how to get a hold her her because i want to order all her records, videos, and a doll. she makes her own dolls.
i am going to
make an ana-doll. i have been experimenting with polymer clay. if anyone has
any knowledge of this stuff..on how to make mold from it to make dolls, please
let me know! each one will be hand crafted and painted and accessories....i
have so many ideas for them i can't even write it all down.
i also am looking for a place that has dress forms that i could custom order to my measurements, i don't want to do one of those make-it-yourself duct tape kind. i don't have anyone to help me out with a project like that.
i also am thinking
of putting together a new wave cover band. if u or someone else u know would
like to
be a part of that, write 2 me. i'll be more specific later. :)
also, i want
to find a plaster mold kit. i had one bookmarked before, and now i can't find
it!
also, does any one live in the twin cities who would teach me how to crochet?
or does anyone know of and video cassettes that are good for instruction?
ok, here are some posts i made at that weird enneagram bbs:

i did a search on my name in altavista and came upon this page. i am a 4 or a 5...what??? you are all dead wrong about me. it is hilarious how people think they can figure u out. what on EARTH??? i am not afraid to apeak to people face to face at all. i just prefer to be alone. it's very simple. i love to communicate but i like to do it in my own time from my house. it's nice to be able to talk to people from all over the world at 4am in my pajamas. it sure beats getting on a bus and dealing with traffic etc. i don't NEED attention. all sorts of things i could say..but how an i sum it up? i think u CAN'T sum up a person into a number

i would like to understand this further. do i have to buy a book, or is there somewhere online that explains this? i've looked around jan's site, but can't find a very thorough explanation. maybe i am just looking in the wrong spot?
it was just so strange to me to come across this bbs and have all these people picking me apart in the same forum as analyzing star wars characters. it made me feel strange, like a bug under a microscope. it sounded so cold. i didn't feel like i was being talked about like i was real.
do u know what i mean?

ok, sorry about that..that was
really bratty of me. i am just hurt that u were psychoanalyzing me in such
a cold way, then i come in here, into your forum, and u completely ignore
me..not even saying hi, and just post above me about ants. if i was just someone
who u had never been talking about in a big giant thread, then i wouldn't
see it as rude that u wouldn't acknowledge my existence. but since u had been
picking me apart i would think it would just be polite to at least just say
"hi". that is all.
:(
ok, i'm off to do errands...then watch dvds. we just got a dvd player and all the monty python episodes so i'm pretty excited :

so what do u think of her? i
think she rocks. i love her to pieces :)
so many men are irritated by her. but my mom is irritated by her ,too.
but i don't know why. she is so strong and kind and brings up so many interesting
subjects. i think she is a great example that iof u follow your joy that will
bring the ultimate sucess. i think that deepak chopra is a good example of
that , too. and dick clark, for that matter.
i love people that just love what they do so much that their joy rubs off
on u and u feel inspired by that to move forward :)
does this site bring u joy? i am interested in why those of u who are on here are drawn to this site. how did u find it? does it help u to make more sense of your lives?
i'm sorry if i appear to be a bit hostile. i guess i am. i guess i am just so sick of people assuming things about other people. projecting. i learn a lot about projecting from my site. i've found that my site isn't about me at all, but it's just a mirror projecting back the psyches of others. people see in my site whatever they want to see, whatever they've been conditioned to see. i find that fascinating, but ultimately irritating that most people cannot see this. i think that is one of the hugest stumbling blocks of humanity.
maybe i am projecting onto "all
of you" now. it's funny that i am fascinated yet irritated with projection.
i guess i started out my site as a way to make things "clear" .
to break stereotypes. being in the entertainment industry for so long, i was
sick of people trying to compartmentalize me into a neat little cartoon. "the
angry punk girl" "the goofy new waver" "the radical feminist"
"the bubble-headed fake blonde fake titted girl". i like to become
the icon, then do what the icon should not do..like be smart...make serious
art...be both the priest and the whore at the same time...then i like to shatter
the icon. i want to show that conflicts and paradoxes are within us all. it
doesn't always make sense. and that's ok.
but anyway....i've found that the more information i give anout myself..the
more that just becomes are more intricate inkblot for others to project upon.
os when i come across a site like this, as much as it intrigues me and i love "tests" and psychoanalysis...it just irks me too.
i hope u can understand that.
i hope i'm being clear. maybe not.
i don't know if we can ever be clear. frustrating.
anyway, i guess i've veered off the subject of oprah. :)

ah, no, once again u have it
all wrong :)i am not masochistic in the least. i am SO not masochistic it's
not even funny! i dislike pain and do not seek it, but at the same time i
will not shy away from risks(life) in fear of it either. and yes, i get hurtful
comments sometimes, everyone does..even oprah. but that is wayyyy in the small
percentage. i'd say 1% of the email i get is negative, while the rest is INCREDIBLY
supportive and loving! i love my cam more than anything, it has been the most
positive and completely fulfilling experience :) it makes me feel so good
that i bring so many people so much joy, and return i receive back joy tenfold
and then some! :))
it doesn't mean i still don't get irked when i get hurtful comments, as u
can see, i totally do. but 99% of everything i have experienced from my cam
has been joyousness in infinite degreees! :)
and i have met so many incredible people! it is inspiring :)
if there are people that pity me , then they are in the minority, at least
from my experience. if anything, it is the opposite, i receive so many emails
each day from people thanking me for inspiring in them to be more themselves
and to play more often and to be creative and take risks :)
the only thing that makes me
sad about my life is 1) being a woman is not easy in this world..for one..i
wish i could go out for walks at night not in fear of my life! and 2) i wish
people were not so judgemental of me at first glance
and i think those are two pretty understandable things
i do put myself out there for
people to analyze..but i DON'T do it to be treated like a bug under a microscope.
there are ways to analyze and still be kind and have tact. it does not have
to be a cold experience. i don't think anyone should ever have to expect nor
"take" unkind treatment from others no matter how "in the public
eye" or not. i hope i get that through to some people...i am showing
a human experience, i am trying to show a kind experience. i wish for kind
communication in return. there are many ways to approach analysis without
having to make any feel like a bug!
do u see what i mean? what kind of world is it that you are saying that if
we open up our lives we are wishing upon ourselves unkindness? are u advocating
that that is ok behaviour...to act unkindly to others who open up and share
things?
i don't see myself as the polar opposite of oprah at all...i am not SUPER
a lot like her...but in many ways i am. and she inspires in me more to be
those qualities i so much admire in her. strength, honesty, courage, openness...a
joy for living :)i don't see her as being competitive at all. where do u get
that? she is one of the #1 talk shows, but i don't think she competed her
way there..i think she got there by being herself and doing what she truly
loves and letting that shine through :)
i don't think you've really thoroughly explored my site, you sound like one of those drive-by pop-psychologists spouting off sound bites after whisking through my site for 5 minutes to go hurry and make a bold splashy statement for USA today. my site cannot be taken in or understood in such a flippant manner. it moves slowly, it is full of subtle things, even in the not so subtle. there are many layers.
and i think that is why my site
is NOT much of a niche-thing...millions have viewed my site. tens of thousands
per day still come on average.
people from housewives to truck drivers to 18 year old boys to lesbians to
senators to people who work for nasa to waitesses to huge coorpoate businesmen,
to shy girls, to artists, actresses, rockstars, travelling salesmen, bricklayers,
psychologists..etc
everyone from age 16-85! i am astounded! i am honoured! :)
