I thought I'd throw up the James Lipton questions because I always love the answers it bring back.
i see jen has beaten me to the punch (good call, jen!) so let me ask you this instead:
what brought you to lit (in general) and how to specifically?
ed
Ok, here we go...
1. what is your favorite word?
I'd go with "Yes". Most good things start with the word yes.
2. what is your least favorite word?
Keeping with the above, that would have to be "No"
3. what turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
*notes the qualifier,* Hmmm, Difficult question. I love music, but what I'm listening to or playing is usually echoing how I feel emotionally. Most of the time, I can't recognise the spark that switched me on; I'm just aware that "something" has just had an effect on me, and my mental state is in a whole new place to where it was moments before.
4. what turns you off?
Apathy, in a word. I've always been of the opinion that I can do anything if I put my mind to it, and when I hear people saying they "can't" do stuff, it makes me cringe. Often what they mean is that they either don't want to, they're not willing to learn, they've got better stuff to do, or some other such excuse.
5. what is your favorite curse word?
It depends upon the situation. I'm rather fond of the word "fool" in reference to myself when I do something unwise. Also, a blow to the thumb with a hammer can only be expressed correctly with a whole string of expletives; ideally involving some more unusual, created at that moment words. For everyday situations, few words are as versatile as the word "Fuck", although "Shit" can be a close second, lol.
6. what sound or noise do you love?
When in the right hands, few sounds beat the mournful wail of an electric guitar.
7. what sound or noise do you hate?
Mindless, incessant chatter... *shudders*
8. what profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I've always wanted to be a pilot, ever since I was a boy. One day, or so I keep telling myself, I'll book myself some flying lessons. Of course, first I need to either choose the right lottery numbers or seriously increase my income...
9. what profession would you not like to do?
Anything involving telesales
10. if heaven exists, what would you like to hear god say when you arrive at the pearly gates? "you're late" Lol
