A photo of me
In case you ever wondered what I look like:
A hint: to get a photo of me, you will need my real name ;)
So your first name is Minerva and your second name is Tasmanian Blackbutt.
Minerva Tasmanian Blackbutt - It's got a nice ring to it.
As for my name - Some of my most successful work has been producing childrens animations. I don't think it would bode well to have people know I also parade round as Satan. Although, my ancestors were very wealthy windmill owners. That's a hint by the way.
No, nothing so grand. I did a video for my niece once about a cat and a dog who had to find the easter bunny and thank him for all the easter eggs. They had lost their address book so they decided to dance their way around the world until they found him. I also gave a few copies to other mum's with kids in the same age range. I started to get requests for copies and fan mail from kiddies. It snowballed from there. It's amazing what a three minute throw away piece can do for one's career.
It is a true story, I was meant to see my niece, Rhiann, that easter and my sister and her partner could make it to Sydney so I had two finger puppets (a cat and a dog) and a Chocolate Easter Bunny. So my partner and I filmed it and did the voices and added some music and about 5 hours later we had - CAT AND DOG FIND THE EASTER BUNNY. You'd laugh every acre of your ass off if you saw it. Everyone does!
At the end of every scene, when they dont find the easter bunny at the eifel tower or the great wall or machu pichu, they say 'Let's dance' in the gayest voice you've every heard. The music I used was Popcorn!
The authorities would see your name on a package being sent to an address with 666 on it and the news media would be alerted and your career would be reduced to making puppet show ads for car lots
WHOA! I was going to give you a clue about one of the short animated films I made that was included in a Australian Film Database. I followed my clue through and you can find not only my name but my photo, home address, phone number, where I work now and all sorts of other little tastey tid-bits. I've never googled my own name before - Thats really scary!
I have a fairly unique dutch name. The work I did on those films was on behalf of the parent studios and you won't find me in any credits of feature films. I prefer the idea of not splashing my around for the whole world to see.
Crowe and Kidman are very Australian names. Sydney is one of the most multi-cultural cities on earth and there's no such thing as a typical aussie in this town anymore.
Yes my first name is Diana and my last name is definately not Van Der Sloot. I had a friend called Van Donga. I thought my name was bad until I met him.
hehehe - I don't think god is concerned with you finding photos of me. It's not like your going to pop over to Oz and ask to move in. I actually don't mind if you know my name. I have a suspicion you're not a complete weirdo.
What? Satan have pride, never... Let's just say that I'm quitely confident of my abilities, being recognised by ones peers does that.
No, it's just similar subject matter so I was interested to read about it from a personal point of view. The film itself was inspired by, and is dedicated to my old music teacher. She was severely manic depressive and taught me an endless amount about the disease.
You had said something about her- I remember that. You wrote it too?
I havent seen it, so I should be careful what I say, but I think it's so important to put a human, identifiable face on mental illness, a good film is a great way to do that.
We have actors saying chemical imbalances don't exist on national TV, the stigma is alive and well
I did everything except the voices - it's an animation. People who believe it doesn't exist obviously have never had the problem. Tom is an idiot.
Are you innocent?? Of course I had a mental picture that went with what you wrote so I'm bound to read it differently now. That mental picture mostly involved lingerie ; )

I think Tom needs psychotropic drugs for impulse control ;)
That harmless face of mine is why I love this blog- In real life I think I am percieved as sweet, on the blog I have found a way to express what I think, and I don't have to have a stern look on my face just to be taken seriously.
I have decided not to google your name. I have this awesome visual of you in a lacy green teddy, so unless there is a photo like that I will keep what I have.
Ooh! Now I am wishing I never said that! Temptation to Google your name might get to be too much. I will only promise not to do it if you tell me you prefer I don't
Yeah the last thing we need is Actor's pretending... oh hang on, that's their job. Tom's actually quite a nice guy and he has reason for carrying on the way he is at the moment. Mostly to do with Saleability. I think I dodged a similar question on my blog...
Sweet is not a bad thing to be percieved as, but you're right it's probably annoying having to differently from who you are in order to get a point across.
There's only two entries under google. One for where I work now adn one where the film is. THe work one has a really bad photo that you can't see any detail in, but the film database (which you've already seen) has all my personals in it.
I only choose Satan because I noticed there were so many annoying christians on blogger. It was a good way to sort out who had a sense of humour and who didn't. I had been posting as satan for about a week before I stumbled across Og's blog (she the sweet innocent looking blogger I know, BTW) and had the idea of creating the 7th Rim.
yes pdf, right click on the link and choose Save As... it's much faster, our site is screwed. I don't know who does the IT around here. They desrve a kick in the arse - it's almost like they sit around blogging all day...
Well I am almost ready to give up, but I will try this last time (and yes, it is late- woah! but I didn't realize that late (I thought it was still around midnight)
Well then I will say everyone looks...not American LOL (the guy on the far L and all of the ladies except the 2 in the center could be American)
I don't know what it is...its body language or dress or something
And since you say you are the handsome one, I will say you look exactly like I imagined, except your collar is so high I cant see if the teddy you are wearing is the same one I imagined
Well I wouldn't be interested in him. The men who can keep up with me are usually in their late 30s. A young buck like that would only be good for the bedroom
No, it's not your fault, I work while we chat. There are people here that leave their systems open so we back up data it fails. I have to wait until the main culprit leaves, which she's doing right now, yay, and shut down her PC.

Not to be an insensitive male or anything but that put's a lump in my throat.
LMAO (plenty to laugh off)
I'm sure everty acre is heaven ; )
everty?
So heavenly every man she screws marries her :)
I was talking about yours ; )
Oh? So you DID find a picture of me :) It is heavenly isn't it? ;)
No, I'm ass-uming.
I don't know your real name. Any hints??
Hints:
The first name is a greek or roman Goddess
The last name is a kind of tree
Youve given no hints about your name, only about your carREAR
So your first name is Minerva and your second name is Tasmanian Blackbutt.
Minerva Tasmanian Blackbutt - It's got a nice ring to it.
As for my name - Some of my most successful work has been producing childrens animations. I don't think it would bode well to have people know I also parade round as Satan. Although, my ancestors were very wealthy windmill owners. That's a hint by the way.
Thats no fair that you know my name is Minerva Tasmanian Blackbutt and I don't know yours
Bananas in Pyjamas I hope
I gave you a clue :)
No, nothing so grand. I did a video for my niece once about a cat and a dog who had to find the easter bunny and thank him for all the easter eggs. They had lost their address book so they decided to dance their way around the world until they found him. I also gave a few copies to other mum's with kids in the same age range. I started to get requests for copies and fan mail from kiddies. It snowballed from there. It's amazing what a three minute throw away piece can do for one's career.
Is that a true story? Its lovely
It makes me want to be creative
It is a true story, I was meant to see my niece, Rhiann, that easter and my sister and her partner could make it to Sydney so I had two finger puppets (a cat and a dog) and a Chocolate Easter Bunny. So my partner and I filmed it and did the voices and added some music and about 5 hours later we had - CAT AND DOG FIND THE EASTER BUNNY. You'd laugh every acre of your ass off if you saw it. Everyone does!
This isyour film isn't it?
At the end of every scene, when they dont find the easter bunny at the eifel tower or the great wall or machu pichu, they say 'Let's dance' in the gayest voice you've every heard. The music I used was Popcorn!
Hell NO!!!!!
I make good films!
That sounds very cute.
It's not available on the web - Sorry.
What were you doing for a living at the time?
So just mail it to me:
Minerva Tasmanian Blackbutt
PO Box 666
USA
Specialist IT work for film studios and making my own films.
I wonder what would happen if I did?!
The authorities would see your name on a package being sent to an address with 666 on it and the news media would be alerted and your career would be reduced to making puppet show ads for car lots
Hey! Cool! that's better than what I'm doing now!
Wow, there's a tree called Tree-of-heaven, maybe that's your last name
Then I think you should send it...it will be your next big break :)
OOH! are you doing research?
I never said it was a type of tree in English
I was! It's not?! Damn! Which language??
There are no photos of me online (I hope!)
*weep*
I was curious : )
I'm curious too, Ive snooped, just havent been busted
I wasn't trying to hide the fact so I guess I haven't been busted. You were snooping? On what were you searching ?
WHOA! I was going to give you a clue about one of the short animated films I made that was included in a Australian Film Database. I followed my clue through and you can find not only my name but my photo, home address, phone number, where I work now and all sorts of other little tastey tid-bits. I've never googled my own name before - Thats really scary!
I am embarrassed now
I was just curious to see a pic too
I just looked up MI2 for an Australian sounding name
Then I realized what does an australian sounding name sound like? Kidman? Crowe?
I'm the only person in the southern hemisphere with my name - that's kind of cool.
No more clues then ;)
All my name brings up is a political Rally I was at, the church I joined, and unclaimed property
I find more and more people with my first name every day (it pisses me off)
I have a fairly unique dutch name. The work I did on those films was on behalf of the parent studios and you won't find me in any credits of feature films. I prefer the idea of not splashing my around for the whole world to see.
So your first name isn't Diana??
Crowe and Kidman are very Australian names. Sydney is one of the most multi-cultural cities on earth and there's no such thing as a typical aussie in this town anymore.
My computer froze and had to be restarted, I think its god reminding me not to try to find photos of men in long term relationshiops
My first name is not Diana, is yours?
And I hope your last name isnt Van Der Sloot
I ducked out for lunch.
Yes my first name is Diana and my last name is definately not Van Der Sloot. I had a friend called Van Donga. I thought my name was bad until I met him.
So I have your first name...Diana, now I just have to figure out the last
Here is another hint:
First: A Goddess
Middle: Bird-Woman (not in English, but American)
Last: A tree (and a wine)
hehehe - I don't think god is concerned with you finding photos of me. It's not like your going to pop over to Oz and ask to move in. I actually don't mind if you know my name. I have a suspicion you're not a complete weirdo.
If that is your suspicion you are a poor judge of character ;)
I am an excellent judge of character. I make somewhat of a career of it.
God has a rule: thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, so he may be concerned
I guess your partner isn't exactly my neighbor, so I can covet her wife
Your right, so I will tell you my name too
Minerva Tasmanian Blackbutt
LMAO
You wouldn't like Monica's wife, she's a beautiful blonde.
ROTFLMHAO
H = Hot?
Heavenly not Hot (like Hell)
It's better than Humungous
I think I crossed a line there...
Does your last name start with M and have beautiful flowers.
No worries, Im not as sensitive as you thought yesterday
But yes, it is humungous...but so is heaven!
HA HA
My last and first names are of the same Ethnicity
I don't know what ethnicity you are so I'm trying to think of all the tree/wine combos I can come up with! Magnolia was one.
Middle name, a heritage I have none of
This is fun.
I told you what ethnicity my first name is, its one of 2
Oh yes, silly me!
Should I be researching too?
I will refrain from any more digging on your name- I don't want to jeaprodize any car-ads you are developing
Yeah right, what career?? - I'm just being overly cautious. Here's a pic of me.
Thank you for showing me :)
I jusl LOVE hairy chests!
I used to shave but it takes too long.
This is me
Most men get hard when they look at me
You should try Nads
I had to use their money back guarentee.
You're very pretty... I love the sultry smooth slither of a lady snake ; )
I like you as you are.
Sorry, I don't know if any of my coif are ladies. You have to stick a thing up their bum to find out the sex, and they don't like that
create an anonymous e-mail on yahoo and e-mail me it and I will send you a pic
If I emailed you my name, what's the point of having an anonymous email on yahoo...
So you dont have to tell me your name ;)
I'm not sure I care if you know my name ;)
Well you already know mine so its only fair
I doubt very strongly that your name if Minerva Tasmanian Blackbutt
If I affirm that that is my name then I would no longer be anonymous on here would I?
LMAO - True
I was teasing- your right, thats not my name (your good! how did you know?)
I'm very intuitive
See, I'm not that secretive
is your middle name Sacagawea
That's an awfully powerful name : )
Mom was a feminist Hippie ;)
LMAO - you can kind of tell...
Have you disappeared now????
You should feel really proud!
I don't imagine I could the short at Blockbuster?
And BTW...Does my blog match the film character? (and vice versa)
Or could I find it on Amazon.com?
What? Satan have pride, never... Let's just say that I'm quitely confident of my abilities, being recognised by ones peers does that.
No, it's just similar subject matter so I was interested to read about it from a personal point of view. The film itself was inspired by, and is dedicated to my old music teacher. She was severely manic depressive and taught me an endless amount about the disease.
None of my films are on-line, I'm meant to have a web-site with all my projects on it (books, films, paintings, etc) but I suffer from sloth.
Very cute BTW
You had said something about her- I remember that. You wrote it too?
I havent seen it, so I should be careful what I say, but I think it's so important to put a human, identifiable face on mental illness, a good film is a great way to do that.
We have actors saying chemical imbalances don't exist on national TV, the stigma is alive and well
I bet you will never read my blog the same way will you? (I look very innocent don't I?)
I did everything except the voices - it's an animation. People who believe it doesn't exist obviously have never had the problem. Tom is an idiot.
Are you innocent?? Of course I had a mental picture that went with what you wrote so I'm bound to read it differently now. That mental picture mostly involved lingerie ; )

Monica is right, I need to start working on my marketing. That's just sad...
Can I look? Can I look?
And BTW, I know you dodged THAT question but that wasn't the reason I thought, I just thought publicity
I thought Suzanne was you
Actually now I'm starting to wonder why google is getting any of the film festival stuff... That's just not right... Mmmmm...
I have a marketing idea...first you have to find a young girl with a sweet innocent looking face...
Of course you can look... the photo's in the latest annual report. It's just www.theendofmyemailaddress
No Suzanne was a complete stranger. I never leave questions for myself on my blog, do you?
I shouldn't really talk about that sort of thing, it's a great way never to get a job again. You gotta have trust on a set.
I'm loving that idea, I know this girl on a blog...
You were Richard weren't you!!!
I confess, I was Richard all along.
I assumed you would do that because so many in your "circle" have alternate characters
Nah, I wasn't Richard. If I were to invent a Character he would have a much better name than that
I have only one alternate character. But I don't really play that game, it's a little nasty for my liking.
Some Satan you make ;)
What's wrong with that name...
My computer froze a third time, and now its acting slow again...if I dissapear without writing anything its because it froze again and I am give up.
I am giving this annual report one last shot (PDF right?)
I only choose Satan because I noticed there were so many annoying christians on blogger. It was a good way to sort out who had a sense of humour and who didn't. I had been posting as satan for about a week before I stumbled across Og's blog (she the sweet innocent looking blogger I know, BTW) and had the idea of creating the 7th Rim.
yes pdf, right click on the link and choose Save As... it's much faster, our site is screwed. I don't know who does the IT around here. They desrve a kick in the arse - it's almost like they sit around blogging all day...
Its HER? Hurrumph!
It must be late there!
Now, now, jealously!
I dont get jealous, you will never find an example of me being jealous anywhere
LMAO
Well I am almost ready to give up, but I will try this last time (and yes, it is late- woah! but I didn't realize that late (I thought it was still around midnight)
I sent you the photo.
What's the time?? Do you have to work tommorrow??
today??
Which one are you? ? ?
I love all of you, you are all so AUSTRALIAN!
I wouldn't be up like this if I had to work...Im going soon, you can get back to work in a minute ;)
I'm the handsome one
Get real, work on a friday afternoon. It's almost pub time : )
Actually, only two of the people in the photo are Aussies (not including me - I'm Aussie but a dutch Aussie)
I just giggled out loud. I can imagine myself in a meeting with this group...I would probably smile and giggle the whole time at the accents and words
so are you going to guess which one is me
Well then I will say everyone looks...not American LOL (the guy on the far L and all of the ladies except the 2 in the center could be American)
I don't know what it is...its body language or dress or something
And since you say you are the handsome one, I will say you look exactly like I imagined, except your collar is so high I cant see if the teddy you are wearing is the same one I imagined
Come now, every guy in the picture has a collar on. Which one?
They are; Swiss, New Zealand (Kiwi), Irish, Scottish, Russian, Lebanese and of course Dutch and Australian.
Well I can say I find all of the men attractive except the man second to the left- now HE looks Satanic!
Just look at that silly smile on his face!
Yeah, I wouldn't trust that one...
Do you know him? Or did you just meet him for that meeting?
Actually, I don't know any of them. I'm just a corporate photographer. Do you like my work?
Find out for me if he is seeing any one. I think he looks wicked
Really? I feel so stupid!
The photo is great! Fantastic composition. I love the muted colors
So you really don't know any of them? I honestly do think that one looks hot. And just the right age
No, it is me... I did the photoshopping though. thank you, I liked the colours too.
He is seeing someone, but he's also very wicked.
See I know you are a bit older than me, thats why I m respectful to you, but him? Someone that age... I would give them so much shit!
Bwhahahahah hha hahhaha
How old is the wicked guy in the picture?
Older than you...
by two years...
Holy shit he is young!
Uh-huh!
Well I wouldn't be interested in him. The men who can keep up with me are usually in their late 30s. A young buck like that would only be good for the bedroom
LMAO - Only good for the bedroom??? How demeaning...
Well don't tell him I said that, its just men that age are rarely very smart, or witty, or informed- like you are ;)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, flattery will make you treating me like a piece of meat OK!
Hey, guess what, It's pub time!!!!!
I was joking silly-
Maybe a pint will help you forget the pain ;)
A schooner is Australia... I was only joking too.
I still have work to do though, doh!
I am serious, I really thought you were quite a bit older, you are obviously intelligent if you could fool me so well
A schooner in Australia, instead of a pint (gawd, can I make sense)
I'm not intelligent, I'm a smart arse.
Sorry i kept you.
Have a Schooner for me
night
Good night...
No, it's not your fault, I work while we chat. There are people here that leave their systems open so we back up data it fails. I have to wait until the main culprit leaves, which she's doing right now, yay, and shut down her PC.
In Ireland, it's called a Jar.
In Hungary, It's a Sor.
In America, it's called weak-as-piss
Swear to god I was just going to check if you knew that. In America it is lots of stuff, depending on the Bar
Just so everyone knows, Diana is much prettier in real life, but she wont do the topless pose.
