Pivot Questions
over at asmallvictory in honor of bernard pivot's 70th birthday (i didn't know who he was either) it was suggested that people answer the infamous 10-questions typically posed by james lipton on actor's studio.
that sounds amusing enough...
- What is your favorite word?
while it can vary from time to time, if you were to bet on what my answer would be, i would highly recommend you pick either "kvetch" or "mishigas"
- What is your least favorite word?
i tend to be more put off by phrases, so picking a single word is tough because they aren't in context, but for the sake of this question i will answer "her".
- What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
media -- music, pictures, video, and writing. they all allow for intimate personal expression.
- What turns you off?
close-mindedness. to quote aristotle -- "it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
- What is your favorite curse word?
i tend to be traditional and will have to say "fuck".
- What sound or noise do you love?
there are voices/accents that i'm particularly fond of, but i'll go with a something non-human and say a slow running stream.
- What sound or noise do you hate?
the sounds of frustration and superiority.
- What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
the smartass in me says i should answer "i want to drive the zamboni", but criminal law is something i could get into.
- What profession would you not like to do?
so many to avoid. food services, public relations, or anything else that requires too much ass kissing and interaction with people.
- If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
w00t!
