Getting to Know You...
I do not watch secular television all that often, but when I do, here are the main programs that interest me (I realize this is quite the eclectic list):
Good Eats with Alton Brown
Planet's Funniest Animals
American Idol
UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships)
Inside the Actors Studio with James Lipton
The last show fascinates me because I like to hear about how actors have studied their craft and how they got to where they are. No, I can't say I am interested in being famous, but I am goal-oriented and like to hear how people overcame adversity on the way to their goals. At the end of the show James Lipton asks 10 questions. The answers reveal quite a bit about the subject's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I thought I'd ask them here to find out more about those of you who visit my blog. I'll also share my own answers for whoever is interested. I took out two of the questions (favorite curse word and what we want God to say to us at the pearly gates). Here goes:
1. What is your favorite word?
2. What is your least favorite word?
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
4. What turns you off?
5. What sound or noise do you love?
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
7. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
8. What profession would you not like to do?
Here are my answers:
1. love
2. can't
3. music, the Bible, laughter
4. people who mock others or limit their individuality
5. ocean waves
6. the squeak made by two pieces of stiff white styrofoam being rubbed together
7. pastor
8. proctologist
Your turn...

Thanks
You all are awesome. I realize this was tough, but your answers are great!!!
I wanted to clarify my least favorite word - can't. I'm thinking in the context of "You can't do that, it's impossible." It has nothing to do with can't when it comes to breaking rules or breaking the law. I have a spirit that dares to dream, not a rebellious spirit. Just thought I'd make sure you all knew that. Probably the better choice would have been to use the word "impossible."
Gordon, Will Farrell cracks me up when he does James Lipton. He's so good at doing James he's better than James himself. ;)
