Well its been a while since my last post. Its not like a whole lot has been going on other than I've been doing research for a 30 page paper due in mid June. So far the research has been going slow but I don't really have much of a choice other than to waste a thousand dollars. Not likely to happen.
One thing that has been keeping me somewhat occupied has been the television show Inside the Actor's Studio hosted by James Lipton. One of the elements of the show that I like is the final question segment in which host Lipton asks each guest the same ten questions developed by French journalist Bernard Pivot.
In a sort of tribute that I have chosen to answer these same questions here.
Oh my how exciting eh?
What is your favorite word?
Without trying to sound overly sappy I would have to say 'love'. Its the one word that everyone wants to hear said to them in their life. Everyone wants to experience love, to receive love and to give love.
What is your least favorite word?
Repressed. I find it amazing how often in my life I've been told I'm repressed simply because I disagree with someone. I don't agree with having sex with ten different people over the course of two days? Well that's because I'm repressed. It seems to the be the blanket accusation for someone that isn't as liberal as they are.
What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
The first instinct is to mention something physical but that isn't in the question. I guess I would say walking or bike riding. I don't know if its so much of a 'turn on' but I do find that a lot of ideas come to me while I do these activities.
What turns you off?
This one is a lot more open but I guess the implication is that it follows from the previous question. I guess in that case I'd have to say work. I find it so mind numbing that thinking of even the most basic things can sometimes be a chore.
What is your favorite curse word?
Shit. I sometimes try to dress it up a bit by saying shite.
What sound or noise do you love?
The sound of the rain falling on leaves. Its quite relaxing.
What sound or noise do you hate?
The voices of a number of my coworkers.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I'll count my profession as a teacher for the sake of this question. I guess I'd have to go with Minister.
What profession would you not like to do?
Pig farmer.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Welcome, my child.
