BufBloPoFo Topic for Day 11: Answer these questions:

1. What is your favorite word? What is your least favorite word?

An incomplete list of my favorite words: kerfluffle, beleaguered, superfluous, charlatan.

Least favorite? Hm…I don’t know. I used to cringe at the big C (See You Next Tuesday?), but not so much anymore, so long as no one’s, y’know, calling me one.

2. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? What turns you off?

Turn ons: kindness, patience, honesty, passion. Turn offs: greed, hypocrisy, ignorance, cruelty.

3. What sound or noise do you love? What sound or noise do you hate?

I love the sound of the ocean. To be slightly less cliche, I also love Rand’s singing voice.

Hate? My alarm clock is up there, as well as the sound of a high school or middle school cafeteria at lunchtime.

4. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? What profession would you not like to do?

Uh…hm. I’d like to give this teaching thing a real go one of these days, but apart from that, I’d love to be able to call ‘writing’ my profession as well. (Not as a reporter, though. Been there, done that.)

5. What is your favorite curse word?

I love all the British curses. They make cursing sound so much more dignified. 😉

6. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Hmmm…what took you so long? 😉
