winneganfakeMy answers to her questions:
1. How would the world be better if you ruled it?
Free monkeys. Free pocky. Need I say more?
On a more serious note- politically I fall somewhere between socialism and anarchism. Give me control of the world, and I wouldn't be keeping it for long. Probably just long enough to redistribute a large amount of wealth, and to have any esperanto-speaking country hit with a nuclear strike. Some language just cannot be tolerated.
2. If you could reach back in time and reclaim one thing that is no longer in your life what would it be?
During my very short stint in private school, I was stuck with a very pro-conformist teacher who actually, in front of the entire class, told me I had asked "a very stupid question," I would love to take back the silence I had responded with at that time and instead htake the opportunity to spit in her eye.
3. What is your favorite comfort food and why?
Not pocky. That's just a nice snack. Probably Kraft Mac & Cheese Spirals. The whole "cheese flavoring via chemistry" is a nice bit of nostalgia, and well, sprials just plain taste better than most of their other pastas. Yes, shape affects flavor, in my humble opinion.
4. Where do you stand in the Art vs. Craft debate?
Craft for me doesn't have a lot of the negative connotations that a lot of other people in the local artistic community does. I dunno wether it's the early SCA/Renfaire influences in my life or what, but I usually associate Crafts with things like Smighting. The actualy hand-creation of stuff for daily use. The masks and other stuff I do? Not sure where I'd qualify that, and I don't like slapping a label on my own stuff to feed mey sense of self-importance, so I'm not going to call it art. Art is supposed to, in my mind fit at least one of two criteria: it must have aesthetic value, or serve the purpose of making a statement. I'm honestly not sure if my stuff does.
As for the hand knit kleenex box covers, and the other kinds of crap you see at "Arrts & Crafts" shows, in my opinion, that kind of stuff is neither Art nor Craft. It's crap.
5. What for your marks the difference between really living and just passing time.
Activity.
