I'm It?

Technically, I'm still on vacation, but Amy at RQ tagged me, and as Amy is probably my new favorite on-line person thanks to an extremely kind review of one of my most heartfelt entries here, I will take a break from doing nothing.

What is your favorite word?
I'm just not sure I have one... Words in general are just great.

What is your least favorite word?
Emo. I found out about this word recently, and as far as I can tell, it's a derisive word for teenagers on the brink of developing empathy and becoming real human beings. I'm not a big fan of peer-based discouragement of good behavior.

What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Passion, Empathy, and Honesty, respectively.

What turns you off?
Arrogance and cruelty.

What is your favorite curse word?
Batshit. This should come as no surprise to regular readers here. Such a great word.

What sound or noise do you love?
Everybody says it, but yeah, rain is fantastic. Especially in a tent. I mean when I'm in a tent, and it's raining outside. Rain in a tent sucks.

What sound or noise do you hate?
Cell phones ringing in public places, and the voice of that lead singer of Rush.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I would love to learn to pilot aircraft, but to do so for a living might be too much pressure.

What profession would you not like to do?
Computer programmer. Back when I started college in the mid 90's, everybody was shocked that I wasn't going into programming. "You're so good with computers," they'd say. Meanwhile, I couldn't imagine a more frightening vision of hell than 40-50 hours a week of staring at code.

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Thanks for trying to help down there."

I'm not sure I have anyone to tag. Dammit. I need to meet more bloggers.
