Inside the Reader's Studio

Deena at A Peek at My Bookshelf tagged me for this fun meme that was started by Rebecca at The Book Lady's Blog. You should check out both of their blogs if you haven't already...they are both BBAW participants and cool people!

In the spirit of continuing my “getting to know you” theme from last week, I thought I’d borrow this questionnaire from my good buddy James Lipton (love him!) at Inside the Actors Studio and try to get a fun little meme started at the same time. So, I’ll answer the questions and then tag three of my blogging buddies, who will then tag three more, and well…you see how it goes.

What is your favorite word?
What? Just one? Without doubt hope.

What is your least favorite word?
Um, pretty much any racial slur.

What turns you on (creatively, spiritually or emotionally)?
Other creation. Either God's creation..nature, or other people's beautiful and moving creation. Um, like a gorgeously written book with a true and hopeful story or a fine piece of music.

What sound or noise do you love?
Rain. Oh my gosh I never hear it in Southern California!

What sound or noise do you hate?
Bare feet shuffling on the carpet. I don't know why, but it gives me chills.

What is your favorite curse word?
erm, crud?

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I think it would be fun to write for television.

What profession would you not like to do?
Anything related to cleaning. Or executing people. I'd really hate that.

What one book, other than the Bible, do you read again and again for inspiration? (added by ME!) (I think that me is Deena)
I rarely re-read books.

If (Which I'm changing to BECAUSE Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Well done my good and faithful servant.

Tag yourself if you want to play along..I'm so behind on google reader due to BBAW that I have no idea who has already been tagged!
