Nichole Ducleroir is hosting this great blogfest (click on the button to find it) where we answer the Actor's Studio host's 10 famous questions. Here are mine:
- What is your favorite word? Gnarly (Not as in "dude" but in the shape of a tree)
- What is your least favorite word? Genitalia (Ack! Even crude slang words work better than this)
- What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Creatively-writing Spiritually and Emotionally- Connection with others
- What turns you off? Cruelty, in any shape or form
- What is your favorite curse word? I'm more into phrases- "Shit. Damn. Piss on a rock." (I also like "*uck me Freddy" from Stephen King's DREAMCATCHER)
- What sound or noise do you love? The voice of an audiobook when I'm doing some tedious chore.
- What sound or noise do you hate? My alarm clock
- What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? A play therapist
- What profession would you not like to do? Work in a meat processing plant
- If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "You didn't waste one ounce of what I gave you."
I like gnarly too! And I'm not surprised your favorite sound was the voice of an audio book! :)
ReplyDeleteMeat processing plant...*wrinkles nose* Good answer!
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on number 9.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be a dental hygienist. I decide this the other day while dying of boredom at the dentist. What a gross and boring job. Hmmm. Much like the answer you picked. ;)
ReplyDeleteI so agree with your #4. I hate cruelty of any kind.
ReplyDeleteAnd working in a meat-packing plant would be gross.

I was nodding my head through all your answers! I love 'gnarly' -- as an adjective it delivers so much bang for its buck! Meatpacking <-- Ewww. I'm with ya!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along!
Genitalia - yuck! :) I like what God says to you.
ReplyDeleteLOL- piss on a rock- great answer!
ReplyDeleteI love both uses of "gnarly." And "genitalia" is up there with "puberty" as a gross word.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree on the alarm clock thing.
ReplyDeleteWow. We really do have a lot of answers in common. I love yours! :-)
ReplyDeleteSeems we writers all hate one thing: alarm clocks! And I'd never even thought about a meat processing plant. I may have nightmares..
ReplyDeleteThe voice of an audiobook, that's a good one >:)
ReplyDeleteCold As Heaven
Piss in a rock! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat answers - gnarly, writing and making connections are great answers.
ReplyDeleteYour not the first person I read who hate the thought of working in the meat processing trade -yeuck!
Piss on a rock -- I like that! Great answer for #10. I enjoyed reading your answers!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny I see what you mean about picking a similar word for number 2. (Huh... that sounds so icky lol) Using the slang may be vulgar to some, but it doesn't make me cringe like the "v" word! Number 10 is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour least favorite word just never does sound right - reading or hearing. :)
ReplyDeleteI might have to become a vegetarian if I worked in a meat processing plant. I loved your answer for #10.
ReplyDeleteThese answers were awesome! I'm with you on the meat processing plant. I don't know how they stomach it.
ReplyDeleteI like your answers, especially play therapist. I didn't know plays needed a therapist. LOL I thought it was the person writing the play that needed the help. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think alarm clocks are evil.
ReplyDeleteMeat processing? Ech. I'm with you on that one!
ReplyDeletethese are really fantastic! I agree wholeheartedly about your words (good and bad), and even reading meat packing plant gave me a chill. They've done studies that show it really impacts the people working there. ugh.
ReplyDeleteThe alarm clock is the most evil noise in the world.
ReplyDeleteI'm more into curse phrases than curse words myself. The Freddy one is great! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been to a meat processing plant. More disgusting than you could imagine!
ReplyDeleteTerrific answers! I particularly like your answers about professions!
ReplyDeleteOoh, totally agree with your #9 answer. No way would I be able to handle the smell of raw meat all day!
ReplyDeleteSee I love so many words. Gnarly Is awesome, It goes with burl, or bur depending on what side of the pond.
ReplyDeleteGenitalia is an awesome word - Lol I just realised in my novel the girl is Natalie, but The Djinn (Geni) calls her Natalia and it got shortened to Talia - OMG ACKKKKK that is so funny! I like genitalia, much better than some of the crude words for it.
Your number ten is so sweet, Great job and Great Answers!
Piss on a rock! That is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your answers.
