I found this great list on Nicole's page and thought it might be fun to challenge people to give a litte of themselves, really put it out there with a fun questionnaire. Please copy & paste in the comments!! I will choose a winner from all who comment before March 5 for a $15 Barnes and Noble giftcard And everyone who follow me get two entries!
Anyone who's watched Inside the Actor's Studio will be familiar with the questionnaire. The show's host, James Lipton, asks it of every celebrity guest at the close of the interview. The questionnaire was originally created by Bernard Pivot, a French journalist, for the cultural series he hosted on French television from 1991-2001, called Bouillon de Culture.
What I love about the questionnaire is you can either answer the questions with all the truth in your heart, or you can approach them with creativity and cleverness -- finding answers or deliveries no one else has ever come up with. But which ever way you go, each of your answers will be revealing, telling us interesting things about you.

I've already answered a bunch of these during the recent blogfest. Definitely agree with you about the gyno. I would hate to be a dental hygienist. Boring and gross in one shot. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! I LOVE Shizzat. That one's new to me. Very cool. Must now appropriate, but I will be sure to say, "Laura is awesome" after every use of it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite word? swishy
What is your least favorite word? The word, "spouse" drives me bananas. It is so not sexy, and so much about being a "spouse" isn't sexy anyway.
What turns you on creatively or emotionally? Creatively: I always say that my muse must be Hygieia, goddess of cleanliness, because I get my best ideas in the shower. Emotionally: Beautiful literature.
What turns you off? gossip
What is your favorite curse word? ruddy heck
What sound or noise do you love? I echo yours--my kids' laughter! I also love the sound of a baseball game late at night--especially if I can hear it from my open bedroom window.
What sound or noise do you hate? Again, I echo yours--my kids fighting. But I also really don't like the sound of my clothes dryer, my dishwasher, and my oven fan all running at the same time. "HUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!" Gah!
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Since I have yet to receive a book contract, I don't think of myself as a professional author. I do think of myself as a professional mother! And while I would NEVER give up motherhood to achieve authorhood, I'd like to add authorhood to my professions. :)
What profession would you not like to do? I was going to say professional parade pooper-scooper (you know, following the horses around), but I changed my mind. I'm a country girl, and I really like horses. So...I'd have to say that I would not enjoy worm-picking as a profession. And I know, because I used to do it.
Great Idea!
