I enjoy reveling in the things I know I like and revisit those things like old friends. They are comfortable, accessible, and provide endless pleasure.
Last year I posted the topic I’m about to post here, but my readership was much smaller and there weren’t too many comments.
As I am the same person, and I still like the topic, I thought I would revisit it for my larger readership and to satisfy my personal taste.
Back when I had more free time I would try to watch the program Inside the Actor’s Studio with James Lipton on the Bravo cable channel. It is an interesting program that has Lipton interviewing an actor for the majority of the evening and finally has the audience, students at the famed Actor’s Studio Drama School in New York City, question the subject.
In the program Lipton, before turning his guest over to the students, concludes his portion of the class with a questionnaire originated by French television personality Bernard Pivot after the Proust Questionnaire.
The Ten Questions Lipton asked are the following:
1. What is your favorite word?
2. What is your least favorite word?
3. What turns you on?
4. What turns you off?
5. What sound or noise do you love?
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
7. What is your favorite curse word?
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
9. What profession would you not like to do?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
As I have expressed many times before, I enjoy learning about you, so please take a moment to fill out the questionnaire and leave your responses at the end of the blog.
Please join me tomorrow for a tasty Tantalizing Thursday on Chief 187™Chatter.

1. What is your favorite word?
ReplyDeleteUnity
2. What is your least favorite word?
Hate, I use it a lot, but trying to use a different one.
3. What turns you on?
Talent
4. What turns you off?
Blanket statements about people groups.
5. What sound or noise do you love?
Laughter, hearing "I love you", the ocean, the sound of cars speeding around the track, cheers of support or encouragement.
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
The kids fighting or whining. Words of bullying, hate, intolerance, the sound of a child's head hitting the ground. :( The sound of the wind rushing through the car when only one window is down. It really hurts my ears. :(
7. What is your favorite curse word?
I try not to cuss, but when I do, I really like S**T! Very satisfying.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I have lots. I wish I could have been strong enough for forensic anything, or medical examiner (see below). But at some point in my life I've wanted to be a professional organizer, interior designer, personal assistant to someone fun. I am close to what I think I really want to do... Emergency Physician Medical Coder.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Anything with blood, bodily fluids, rotting anything, dirt, sweat or yucky smells... yes, I'm a wimp. Hence the medical coding... reading about the yucky stuff without having to see or touch it! :P
10. If Heaven exists (and I believe it does), what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
This is the easiest one to answer... My greatest, deepest fear is that I will NOT hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." (Matthew 25:21) I also want to hear, "Welcome. They are right over there." I need to go listen to "Bowed on my Knees & Cried Holy" now!

Hello - here are my answers:
ReplyDelete1. I believe my favorite word lately has been, "seriously?"
2. I really do not like the word "reckon," I'm not so sure I know what it means. I've never heard of it until I moved to North Carolina!
3. I like intellectual people, and activities. I love to see people participate in charities, or simply helping another person.
4. I'm turned off by smokers, drug users, and loud obnoxious people with 'fat' ego's!
5. I love the sound of the ocean! I also love the sound of loud engines at the race track!
6. I hate the sound of the alarm clock. Seriously, couldn't they have invented a better noise to wake us up?
7. My favorite curse word...let me think of that!
8. Does actually scoring a job at Speed, or at a news station for NASCAR count? No seriously, I really want to be a full time writer, without having to have a day job to support my writing! If that doesn't count, I'd like to be a personal trainer: health fitness coach! I'd write about that too!
9. I honestly do not want to be a nurse, or a certified nurse's assistant again. I was a cna, and came close to sticking it out to be a nurse, it's a safe job to have. But I wasn't very happy doing that, and I don't want to do it again. Though, I do love working with sick people to help make them feel better.
10. You can finally rest now, the hurt, anxiety, and pain is over!
