1.What is your favorite word?
My favorite word is hope. In fact, my mother has more than once called me “The Energizer Bunny of Hope.” I seem to be persistent, if not always at the highest speed.
2. What is your least favorite word?
There are some words I have difficulty saying. Though it may not mean anything negative in many other languages, hearing the word cunt as used in American English at least, makes me feel… just not good. I have a problem with turd too; but, I can say “fuck” whenever necessary and without guilt.
3. What turns you on?
Well that would take the challenge out of it, wouldn’t it? I’m not saying!
4. What turns you off?
Sociopaths, people with untreated bi-polar disorder, the neglect and abuse of children -- oh, and mayonnaise.
5. What sound or noise do you love?
A cat’s purr is music to my ears.
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
I try not to use the word hate, but if I must since apparently I am being interviewed by James Lipton of The Actor’s Studio, I have a really hard time with loud noises. My noise sensitivity is due to nerve damage. I hate the sound of barking children in restaurants, and barking dogs ignored by their owners. I could go on…
7. What is your favorite curse word?
I think I let the cat out of the bag when I answered question #2.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Let’s see. I wanted to be an archaeologist, then a lawyer. I thought both might be too tedious and involve too much paperwork – so I earned my degree in journalism. I know. I know. If I were an attorney I could help people I know who have been sorely cheated or mistreated.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Beef Testicle Festival organizer.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
“Don’t worry. All those people who spent their lives taking money from the faithful in my name, yelling at others to repent, judging my children when that is my job – and those who blew up people thinking that would get them here – the joke is on them.”

Pilgrim: This was fun. If your grandmother had smashed mayonnaise in your face and up your nose when you were a kid, you wouldn't like it either. Plus, it is nothing but fat. EEEwww..... But, I am glad you like it.
Dave: Thanks! I will be making a visit to your list!
Cindy: Thanks for the read and the comment. I'll look for your list too!
SweetFeet: I thought you were a fave of mine already too! Color me appalled! Fixed.
GreenHeron; I have to look up that Phelps Guy. I'm out of the loop on that one. Thank for the read and comment!
Foodaddict: There really are testicle festivals around the country, but I have no craving to go to one, that's for sure! Thanks!
I don't mind 'turd' and like the old mayo --but still a fine fine list.
Thoth: Nope. Although I might be able to come up with a description that would finally earn me some Tip-Em funds! ;-)
Fernsy: I think you meant to say that 'turd' is like the old mayo. I AGREE! :-)
You are braver than me though, because I could never say any of the words in #2. Oh, you don't have towait for the Pearly Gates, by bthe way; # 10 is true. I was spoken to. Rated.
Shiral: I have heard of prairie oysters, but they haven't heard of me. I'll leave it at that. :-)
N. Jordan: Fun OC, huh? I will be sure to look for your list! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Beef Testicle Festival? Are you making that up?
There are several testicle festivals around the country and NO I have not been to any of them.

As far as being a country girl, I am more of an all-round type of girl. I grew up traveling. Some normal "home" things like gardening are new for me because we were traveling and then renting when I was a kid. I am learning! Because of some experiences as an adult, I can throw a classic dinner party. However, I hunt chemical-free wild game in the Fall, and was at one time certified in fuel spill response (which I needed to learn when I worked in television in Alaska.) So, I don't know where I fit in, exactly!

for 2. I am probably not gay but cunt makes me uncomfortable as a Word. It sounds wrong. I like Twat (say it! See?) but as a gentleman the closes I can come in company is twaddle.
6. YES! Barking of any kind. Having a shi-tzu is a daily zen experience.
9. But would you attend the testicle festival?
