The "Inside the Actors' Studio" Meme

I've been tagged so much I'm beginning to think I'm popular or something! I'm doing this one because (1) Amy G asked, and (2) I can't quite get a big enough chunk of time to post about my H.S. reunion (if anyone cares). . . so thanks for help with some in-between fodder, Amy.

1. What is your favorite word? I've never thought about it before. But "thanks" is a pretty good one.

2. What is your least favorite word? I'm not going to spell it out but it's the "M-F" word. Don't wanna hear it.


3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? I probably could say *music* for all three.

4. What turns you off? People who talk with their mouths full, and people who talk loudly. The volume goes up, and I shut right down.

5. What is your favorite curse word? I don't like to curse per se but there's a lotta vulgarity I like to use given the right occasion (or wrong, depending on how you look at it).

6. What sound or noise do you love? The trilling chirp of my cat when she talks to me, and hearing my niece and nephew call me "Aunt Kake."

7. What sound or noise do you hate? See #4.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Full time novelist. A successful one.

9. What profession would you not like to do? Veterinarian. It distresses me to see hurt animals.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Whaddya mean, "If"?

"Sugar Puppies!" Hahahahaha. I joke with my co-worker that I'm going to get out the "swear jar" when she (a born-again Christian) starts her litany of, "Fudge, fudge, fudge!"

I thought golf was in Hell.

The way I play it, yes.

But obviously I'm assuming things will be much better when The Big Guy is my caddie...

Rudeness.

Bloody Hell

The windchimes in my back yard. There are three of them: one alto, one tenor, one bass. All are tuned to the Gregorian chant. LOVE THEM.

When someone pours a beverage over ice on a TV commercial. It makes my skin crawl.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Pastry chef or blues vocalist.

"Well done, thy good and faithful servant."

Bingley--considering how badly I play, I probably would need St. Anthony to caddy so he could find lost ball after lost ball.

WG--Those windchimes sound AWESOME. And I could see you doing pretty well at either of those professions.
As for the hated sound--reminds me of how someone in my family stirs his iced tea or water and the ice in his glass. The sound totally sets my teeth on edge.
