surei~Comment on this entry if you would like to be interviewed. I'll ask you 5 questions and then you'll answer them in your own LJ. Then you can make up 5-question interveiws for someone else~
1. What is the most creative venue in your opinion? Is it doodling? Photography? Poetry? Story-writing? Explain the reasoning behind your choice.
Argh. "The most creative venue" depends: it's whatever you do when you're bored. I sketch, and get occasionally trampled by story ideas. You and Hika seem to have that whole art thing going. Lina does origami. Tony takes pictures. My dad does spoonerisms, plays on words, and doggeral.
If you're going to think about creativity as the total possibility for combinations, beyond pure chance, I'd have to go either with visual art, performing art, or writing. And again, that depends on the person: if you can't dance, or you don't like drawing, or writing sets your teeth on edge, then of course there's no creative potential. However, here's some generalized and somewhat out-of-date figures that still give a good idea in favor of writing. As my dear, dear, writer father says: "90% of those who want to write never start. 90% of those who start never finish. 90% of those who finish never submit. 90% of those who submit never sell." When we consider how many books come out every year in a single genre in the United States alone, some multiple of that is the total number of ideas that sold that year. There are about 10,000 as many ideas concieved every year. On the other hand, Chuck Jones says that's how many (10,000) crap pictures you have in you to draw, and who knows how many there are beyond that? And everyone who can dance, or deliver lines, and such, not only can make up an infinite variety of performances, but gives a different interpretation to those that have already been created, including their own. When you look at it at this scale, creativity is unlimited, and there's no point in tying it down to a single "venue".
Still, if I must choose one, I choose this: the mind. What we think up and never do anything with far outstrips everything else.
2. If you could design one wearable text button (such as the ones that read "Sarcasm - yeah, that'll work") what would the logo say?
I've got a lot of them. Among my favorites are, "Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change," "History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it screams, 'why aren't you listening to me?' and lets fly with a club," "I've got a cat in my lap and I can't get up," "Tuit," "NO," and "Eyes Up." In my current mood, I think the one I'd make now would say, "Even if my breasts held the secrets of the universe, you still can't have them." Or something like that.
3. If you could make one perfect cosplay outfit, which character would you choose and why?
Lucifer from Angel Sanctuary, complete with movable wings and extending arm-sword-thingie.
4. What four songs are on your top music rotation and why?
Gackt's lust for blood - because it's beautiful and deep-voiced and it brings goosebumps to my arms and naughty pictures to my mind.
Death on the Snowfield from FF3 - because it's ideal slow sad dance music and I can put it on single rotation for days without getting tired of it.
The OC remix of Suffering Planet from FF7 - because of all those lovely layers that fill the room like lots of duvets (comforters) and muffle my mind and make me want to fling myself all over the place.
Last place is a three-way tie:
1) E Nomine's Mitternacht - because it has deep voices, manaiacle laughter, lots of layers, and is a mixture of German and Latin. It's the ideal vampire song.
2) No Doubt's Hella Good - because it makes me feel sexy.
3) Enigma's Silence Must be Heard - because it's Ula's song, and Ula is kickass. Ask me about her sometime.
5. If you could meet, greet and beat one person - fictional or non-fictional - who would it be and why?
Mary Sue. Because she deserves it.
If, instead of beating them, I could just converse nicely and with respect on both sides, I'd go for Count D from Petshop of Horrors.
