Another Meme!

So...I was watching "Inside the Actor's Studio" and I thought...y'know? It would be cool to see character's answers to the 10 questions that James Lipton asks at the end of the show. These questions came originally from a French show that was hosted by Bernard Pivot.

01. What is your favorite word?
02. What is your least favorite word?
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
04. What turns you off?
05. What is your favorite curse word?
06. What sound or noise do you love?
07. What sound or noise do you hate?
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
09. 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?

Here...have at!

1. Concupiscence.
2. Mold. Not because it's, well, mold, but because of its difficulty to ennunciate into a microphone. Listen to the radio sometime, and look for, say, 'All Star' or 'Bittersweet Symphony' ... and tell me it doesn't just sound like 'mo.' The word mold requires so much work.
3. Any enthusiastic energy. Song. Strawberry milkshakes with cinnamon flecks. Extemporaneosity, in people, especially in men.
4. Never taking a risk. And I've never really been the biggest fan of drug use.
5. I have to admit a fondness for 'bollocks' I never noticed until moving to Seattle. *blows Mason a kiss*
6. I adore Doris Day's singing voice.
7. I really don't like Neil Young's singing voice, however.
8. I could try being a newscaster. Or a writer. Maybe a stagewriter. *blows Jack Driscoll a kiss, too, but may we emphasize for the public a purely platonic kiss*
9. Thinking back on ... er, previous run-ins in my secondary occupation, the one we're not talking about! ... I'd rather stay away from anything involving gas leaks.
10. ... "I think you've waited long enough now, my child."

01. Love. Why? Probably obvious.
02. HIV or AIDS I know they're not words. But still. I hate them.
03. Spontenaity, and creativity.
04. Repetition and boredom.
05. Er. Fuck? I'm not that creative with curse words.
06. The click of a camera. It's comforting.
07. Coughing. ... don't ask.
08. ... Er. I've never really thought of anything else. Writing or journalism, if I had to. Still photography, perhaps.
09. Anything that involves sitting behind a desk.
10. Angel, Roger, Mimi, and Collins are waiting for you, Mark. Right over there.

8) I love reading poetry...think I'd like to write some of my own.
9) Professional nanny. I can handle kids fine, just not every day of my life.
10) "Ya done good, kid. Get some rest. They'll be here when you wake up."

Oh, gosh. Um.

1. Science, I think. There's just so much promise in it.
2. The Sumerian word for the act of being violently ill. It's got way too many consonants in it to be healthy for anyone short of a trained Welshman and even one of those would have some trouble getting it just right.
3. Learning things. Discovering things. Putting things right. Being the first to find out something. Making Romana smile because I'm as capable as she is at something, even if I am just an Earthling.
4. Bureaucracy, and having to clean up messes I didn't make.
5. Um, we're back to the Sumerian again. Zehgaba means someone who does incredibly personal things with goats. I kind of like having a curse word that doesn't mean anything to anyone else unless they really, really studied.
6. Once I would've said the proton pack powering up, or the sound of my 'sabre switching on, but honestly? These days it's "Guess who?", because the only one who ever does that to me is Romana.
7. I'm gonna have to go with the fingernails on a blackboard classic.
8. It might be kinda neat to be a formally trained cosmologist.
9. Attorney. No question.
10. "You don't have to worry, Raymond. No one is going to ask you that question any more."

1. My favorite word isn't easy to transliterate into Basic-- it sounds like a quiet sort of warbling bark. It's a Sand People term for the first rays of a double-sunrise after the darkest nights.

2. My least favorite word is "goodbye".

3. Being told I can't do something, because I'm too young or a girl or any other reason. It makes me want to do everything possible to prove them wrong.

4. Being ignored.

5. Kriff. It's so adaptable!

6. The little noises people make when they fight-- grunts and gasping and occasional curse word. And Zekk's snoring.

7. Rusty landing gear or faulty door controls. If you're gonna use machinery, at least have the courtesy to keep it well oiled.

8. Being a Shaper, maybe. Or one of the Priests? A Priestess of Yun-Ne'Shel? I could go for that.

9. Sanitation worker on Coruscant, back before the war. Pretty much any job on Coruscant back before the war.

10. Assuming the Unifying Force chooses to say something to me when I finally become part of it... I wouldn't want words so much as a galaxy-wide hug. An acknowledgment that if life is separation, I've finally joined back up.

1. Family.
2. Death.

7. An ion engine in need of a tune-up.
8. Artist.

10. "You were extrordinarily difficult to catch."

01. What is your favorite word?
Duende. I just learned it. It's a fascinating word, but I shan't tell you what it means. Half the fun is in trying to find it. It's an elusive one. Don't settle for the simple explanation.

02. What is your least favorite word?
Jabberwocky.

03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
The cultivation and belief in ideals in every-day life.

04. What turns you off?

05. What is your favorite curse word?

06. What sound or noise do you love?
Waterfalls.

07. What sound or noise do you hate?
Nothing that gives me cause to hate it any longer. *vague*

08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I think I would enjoy being a teacher.

09. What profession would you not like to do?
There are two professions I know of which, if given the choice of one or the other, I cannot determine to be the worse of two distasteful prospects. The first -- to be King. The second -- a butcher.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
God... I think God and I would have little to say to one another. There is no need to express in words the obvious understanding inherent in the fact of my being there. Yet there are words I would hear from others. God need say nothing, but point me to where they are. Then in my wish, if their two voices be the first to greet me when I die, I would hear them say, We love you, son.
