Miranda July Predicts Your Future

Let Miranda July predict your future!

Miranda July is the kind of artist who switches media about as frequently as most of us replace toothbrushes, bouncing from performance art to visual art, to movies to fiction. Now she's taking on the craft of fortune-telling. Her second feature film The Future comes out at the end of the month and we're putting her fortune-telling to the test.

Do you want Miranda July to predict your future? Tell us about the essential dilemma of your life by 11:59PM on Sunday, July 17, and we may contact you to have Miranda tell your fortune on-air.

Do I go back to work in my field to make as much money as possible to ease the financial strain my husband and I face, or do I incur debt, go to school and pursue something more compelling?

I was recently accepted into grad school at the Art Institute of Chicago, but I'm still not sure if I want to be an artist. I honestly do not know if I think visual art is important enough that I want to dedicate my life to it. I wonder if I could have more impact doing something like writing of philosophy. Books can change people and societies, but how much impact can a painting or sculpture have? So what I want to know is will I find being an artist (or art professor) fulfilling? Is there something else I would find more rewarding? If so, what is it? (this is a revision of my previous post. )

I have two people in my life that sick & in treatment. Both have been cleared to go back to work part-time. This means I can go back to work full-time. Do you see a full time job in my future & a Kidney in his future?

I am going to die a cat lady!

N.B.: the fact that I don't even have cats (yet) should really be a sign of just how deep my singledom runs.

At this moment, my pinky. I bite my nails and my pinky nail is now really short. Now when I type, my pinky tingles with pain. And when I type a lot of words with the letters a,q,z, &x sometimes it begins to throb.This is such an easy solution, not to bite my nails. But I am really having a hard time stopping.

Where will we all go when it's time to leave here? Where can me and all my friends live and make art that is not the most expensive city in Canada? Will I make the giant warehouse appear in our lives and will it be as expansive as it is in my dreams? Will I sponsor Canadians to work in the states so we can all grow old together in a giant family making art and music in a old beautiful factory/building?

My car. My dad needed it, so I gave it to him. I have 2 jobs so I got a bike and started biking to work. Someone stole my bike so then I started walking to work. I borrowed a friends car, it broke down. I rented a car to go down to my hometown to take care of my grandmother. I returned the car and waited patiently for my dad to pick me up at the airport. I can only trust my feet.

My girlfriend's best friend has a blatant crush on me. It makes things uncomfortable in group situations. It makes my girlfriend unhappy because her best friend always covets her "cool things". But I kind of like the attention. Boo.

I am currently deciding where to transfer to finish my BFA. Do I go to the cheapest school possible, perhaps limiting later career options? Or do I welcome thousands of dollars of debt into my life in the hopes that the name on the diploma will be worth it?

My parents just separated. It's a time of pretty intense and difficult transition for the whole family. I hope to do my part as best I can, and to put forth a decent effort in making things easier. At the same time, I've got my own life to be getting started, and my own interests and needs and wants. Can I pursue my own path without making my family secondary, or vice versa?

I was recently accepted into grad school at the Art Institute of Chicago and will start in a couple months, but I don't know if I really want to be an artist. Mostly I don't know if I see visual art as important enough that I should dedicate my life to making or teaching it. It is fun and I love it, but is it really that important? Books and movies can literally change lives and the world, but how much can a painting or sculpture do? Even if I were able to get something in the Louvre, people would just look at it for a couple seconds and most people in the world would probably hate it because it seem like most people hate modern art. Do I really want to dedicate my life to something that is measured by how other people like it, yet most people in the world will hate it? Even if I was successful as I could be, I would then be on par with Jeff Koons and I HATE Jeff Koons. So the best I could be would be to be in the same league as Jeff Koons. I'm not sure what I would do if I didn't pursue art, probably try and do something with writing, which I am also passionate about.

fear is the deepest emotion i am able to feel.
sometimes there is a strong feeling of love for my mother.
everything else is mixed up with doubts and incertitude from the beginning of my life.

when i look around me i receive the impression that most things happen out of fear. fear seems to be root of almost everything.

there are some people i admire who act out of inspiration and joy. how can i get a bit more like them?

How to put into practice what my 2 year old daughter is teaching me - living life without the inhibitions that society puts on us as we grow up.

To her it doesn't matter if her dancing looks like a praying mantis having a seizure or if her clothes match (or if she even wears clothes at all). She's much more free than I am and I'm envious.

Hopefully I can learn from her without passing on my own inhibitions to her.

We'll see.
