The Questionnaire

[Ignatz]

On Bravo's "Inside the Actor's Studio," host James Lipton always asks his guests this series of questions. It occurred to me to run it past all of you as well.
1. What is your favorite word?
2. What is your least favorite word?
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
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 (or phrase)?
8. What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt?
9. What profession would you not like to attempt?
10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say to you when you reach the Pearly Gates?

I'll post my own responses later.

[Celtic_Emperor]

Kudos for an insightful and potentially comical thread. 🙂

1. What is your favorite word?

Nuance(s)

2. What is your least favorite word?

I don't currently have one.

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?

The freedom to use my imagination, my art, and God. Art is a natural talent and it turns me on creatively and opens up windows of imagination and wonder that I can translate to this reality with those talents.

Spiritually, whenever I commune with God to balance, center and calm myself, I often feel much better afterwards. God, and communicating with Him is not only something that turns me on, it makes me a better person.

4. What turns you off?

Acts that would work against freedom, especially spiritual freedom. To take freedom away is to deny someone their humanity.

5. What sound or noise do you love?

I love the sound of a waterfall. It is turbulent yes, but if you pay close attention, it can be very soothing, and it allows you to feel you're being transported somewhere even better. And I say this without ever having been near a waterfall.

It would be wonderful if I could someday mediate and pray under a waterfall or at least near one. 🙂

6. What sound or noise do you hate?

The sound of physical/mental/spiritual pain. To be specific, weeping, and not violent weeping, but that weeping that is so deep that you don't know whether to hug the person or leave them be. The sounds makes you and them feel helpless and alone. I hate that.

7. What is your favorite curse word (or phrase)?

"God's in His Heaven, All's right with the world."

8. What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt?

Voice acting for anime, cartoons, and video games.

9. What profession would you not like to attempt?

Medical doctor. While there would be a great sense of pride in helping others in the completely physical way, I don't know whether or not I could take the stress of having a patient die on me, after I did all I could to save them and then having to inform the family just moments after... Medical doctors are very brave, in a way I don't know if I could be. But I do not envy them.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say to you when you reach the Pearly Gates?

"Well done, good and faithful servant."

Just the thought of hearing God say that to me nearly brings tears of utter love, joy, peace, and contentment to my eyes, and its something I hope I hear some day.
