Bernard Pivot Blogfest!

What's this, you say? Two posts in one day? Why, I must be ill or something!

Oh, I'm so lame.

Anyway, there's a reason for the double post today. I found out about the blogfest Nicole over at One Significant Moment at a Time is hosting today at the very last minute (meaning, after I was already at work with no computer). And I thought it sounded like a cool idea. Basically, it's a questionnaire. A way to get to know fellow bloggers. Over a hundred people have signed up and I can't wait to hop around and see all their answers! For now, here's mine!

1. What is your favorite word? Hmm...I'm gonna go with wanderlust. I don't know why, but I've always loved this word. It kind of rolls off the tongue and has an intriguing ring to it, don't you think?
2. What is your least favorite word? No. Seriously, I hate hearing the word "No."
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Music, without a doubt. I know I've said this before, but hearing a good song is like eating a delicious meal.
4. What turns you off? Boundaries. I can't be productive if I feel suffocated.
5. What is your favorite curse word? The eff-word. I feel so bad-ass when I use it.
6. What sound or noise do you love? Rushing water, birds chirping, the breeze blowing through the trees. I love the sound of nature.
7. What sound or noise do you hate? Honestly? A cat in heat. No, really. We took care of my brother's female cat for a few months and when she was in heat...I wanted to toss her out the window. Argh!
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Um...you mean besides an author? I've always had a secret desire to be a songwriter. I wrote lyrics for years but never learned to play an instrument, so that's as far as I got. But I love a well-written song and I think I've written some pretty good lyrics.
9. What profession would you not like to do? Doctor, lawyer, accountant...anything too stuffy and boring, or that requires math skills or involves blood and guts...*shudder*
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "You did good, kid."

So, there ya have it! Sorry for posting this so late. Can't wait to browse the other posts!
