Questions

From Amy, who got it here:

1. What is your favorite word?
Thanks. It's just nice to be thanked.
2. What is your least favorite word?
...so many to choose..."No." "Wrong." "Sin" and all its cognates
3. What turns you on, creatively, spiritually, or emotionally?
The give and take of conversation. Not just convo, because there has to be give and take and intellectual honesty. No mean-spiritedness. No baiting or game-playing. Finding out more about someone who loves to talk AND loves to listen is healing and wonderful.
4. What turns you off?
See above. Game-playing is my least favorite thing in the world.
5. What is your favorite curse word?
Shit. Sssshhhhhhittttttttt. Nice and concise or spread out over 7 or 8 syllables and seconds. It's fun to say.
6. What sound or noise do you love?
Kids giggling.
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
I'm tempted to copy Amy--except I actually like Mexican polka (under the right circumstances).
My real answer is metal scraping against metal
8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Realistically: Indexer, or Copy-Editor.
Letting the imagination run wild: Pilot, or Truck Driver
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Anything related to science or math.
10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Let's see those questions and complaints. I know you have a list."

Appended 5/11: I forgot to post my Celebrity Match. I'm Kathy Bates. Which is good, especially given some of the other options.

Her Pearly Gates answer: "Safe."
