my first thread, yay.
As an aspiring stage actor, this questionnaire has been subject to my fandom for years. You probably first heard it, as I did, on Inside The Actors Studio with James Lipton. I searched for it to make sure you all didn't do it ten times before. I think it's a good way to get to know people, and that's exactly what I'd like to do, since I'm new to the boards.

Ok, I'm bored, so let's do this.
1. What is your favorite word?
Actually.
It's not necessarily my favourite but whenever I listen back to the podcasts I seem to say it in every second sentence.
2. What is your least favorite word?
Moist.
I don't know why but it bugs me. Makes me think of gross things.
3. What turns you on?
Arty chicks. And separately but also connectedly, crazy chicks.
I was talking to Daffy about this the other day. They're my kryptonite.
I've never fully understood it. I hate pretentiousness in people too so it doesn't make sense. But yeah. give me some nerdy specs, a hippy taste in clothes and a woman who cuts her own hair and I get weak at the knees.
I hate myself for it.

Sluttyness. In all it's forms. Underneath my pervy exterior I'm a MASSIVE prude. If I know the girl has gotten around/easy, instant turn off.

"I'm cumming" Best words you can ever hear from a lady and gets me short of starting a parade.
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
Teenagers. Can't stand anything that comes out of their mouths. If I had a gun I'd shoot them
7. What is your favorite curse word?
Bollocks. Both for the fun sound and the oddness of the word.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Musician. Always wished I was in a band. Still do. Hope to one day be. But I don't think I have the skill.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Retail. Ever again. Did it for 5 years and will do anything to stop from going back to it. It makes you hate people... more.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Good job"
It'd be a nice way to start.

This is what you get for not being a hugger.

Aaron

what do erm, git, sod and poxy mean?
To me, git means sod, and sod means, swine. But sod off means, go away in a lighthearted way. Poxy can also mean, bloody, which I guess is like saying flipping or can be used as a nice replacement for the f word.
I'm probably not making sense...

Ass, but only because you can combine it to make the best insults (i.e. Assclown or Asshat)

Anything that this guy does on his show:

1. What is your favorite word?
Weird. It's a weird word. A wonderfully weird word. Weird.
2. What is your least favorite word?
Overrated. Too many people eschew articulating an actual opinion by calling something "overrated." Rather than exploring why something doesn't appeal to them while other things do and learning new things about themselves as a person in the process, they sweepingly devalue the opinions of others and call it a day. It's a kind of laziness that easily crosses the border into dickishness.
3. What turns you on?
Brainsbodyboth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_KeMQL3rl8).
4. What turns you off?
Vapidness, monotony, and intellectual laziness.
5. What sound or noise do you love?
Quiet or, rather, the ambient sounds belying quiet. The sound of the woods at night is a thing of such wonderment and fear that I sometimes dream of buying a remote cabin where I can live as a hermit for the rest of my days.
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
Any loud repetitive noise will do. The sound of a weed whacker turns me into a rabid, uncontrollable rage monkey.
7. What is your favorite curse word?
Cunt. My favoritism is unapologetic, however. Eat it, Antonio. ;)
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Marine biologist. Any excuse to play with seals.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Sales.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Sorry for the, um...well, you know."
