Who, meme?
So I've wanted to do this as a meme for a long time, and while it's not terribly original, it's my favorite part of the show (I don't think me thinking about Will Ferrell's impression while James Lipton talks really counts). So here they are- the Inside the Actors Studio questions.
1. What is your favorite word? I like serendipitous. Persipacity.
2. What is your least favorite word? Used in context, some of the euphemisms for my girl parts aren't good. Box. Beaver. Cunt.
3. What turns you on creatively, emotionally, spiritually? Creatively, color really gets me going, or just seeing what other people have made, whether it be someone I know or Tom Ford's latest runway collection (why did you leave, Tom? Why?). Emotionally, I would say vulnerability (ew, that sounds creepy, I don't mean it like that) and openness. Spiritually, mostly quiet and some nature.
4. What turns you off? Long fingernails on men. Cameltoe on women.
5. What is your favorite curse word? Fuck. I wish it were something more arty, like balls or bollocks, but fuck just comes so naturally. [And yes, I am ready for the deluge of Googles to my site after this answer and number 2. Bring it. It can't be much creepier than the person who was searching for a porn pic of Violet from The Incredibles.]
6. What sound or noise do you love? The ice cream truck, my kids laughing when I tickle them, the slot machine noises when I first get to Vegas.
7. What sound or noise do you hate? Aside from the givens (nails on chalkboard etc), food smacking in people's mouths.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Movie critic for Entertainment Weekly. Professional knitter.
9. What profession would you not like to do? Fear Factor taste tester. Stripper.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? This isn't really something I've ever given any thought to. "Job well done." That or "Here is your ever-full Starbucks card, unending yarn stash, and a TiVo with 3000 hours of memory."
I am not going to tag anyone specifically, because I know there are quite a few anti-memers out there. But seriously- I love memes, I love reading them on other people's blogs, and nothing would make me happier than to see lots of people answer these. So what are you waiting for?
Ooh, I hear ya on the slot machine noise. Looove that sound, although the novelty does wear off by the end of the trip. I have really been craving Vegas lately... :/

These are actually some of my favorite questions, the only other question that I like to ask people to find out more about them is "what 3 things would you bring on a deserted island as long as your basic necessities were taken care of". F&*k is my very favorite curse - it's just so versatile!

I like your second answer for #10 :)
Can I ask you which is the best yarn shop in Denver? I'll be visiting there this summer. Thanks.

Ha! Will Ferrell as James Lipton. Classic.
Hmm... I agree with you on the words. I hate the c-word. I can't even write it because I say it in my mind. Yes, and serendipitous is a great word :)
Very interesting meme, Cathi girl. Thanks for posting it!

So... I also want to know: what is cameltoe???
Posted by: Cordelia | May 26, 2005 at 11:50 AM
I have a picture in my mind of what camel toe looks like, but I'm not sure if it's right. I don't really want to know. ;-) I like memes so i think i'll be tagging myself...
Picture looks like it could possibly be you sitting with Will Farrell as James Lipton. hee hee....
