Kitchen Sink Post

I'm throwing all sorts of stuff your way because I'm just that kinda girl. Today marks my first official day of work though the kids don't report back unitl the 24th. These two weeks are my Reality Dress Rehearsals, because God knows I need to practice getting up early again. I'm rockin' an awesome face rash thanks to an eyebrow waxing gone wrong and so will be loopy for the next two days thanks to the benadryl I'll need to take.

So I'm obsessed with this blog: The Beholder. It's funny, cute and filled with good tips. While going through some of her archived posts, I stumbled across a great one where she answered the questions that James Lipton asks everyone he interviews on Inside the Actor's Studio. So now, of course, I'm totally going to bite her idea and post my answers to the questions:

1. What is your favorite word? Poop. I don’t know what it is about this word that makes me laugh. Just typing it makes me giggle. Poop.

2. What is your least favorite word? Über. In one interview Megan Fox used this word in every other sentence. She sounded like a douche. Saying it once is one time too many.

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Excitement. I love it when people drop their guards and get really excited about something. I love how their whole face lights up and they could burst they can’t contain it all.

4. What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Inconsideration. My life motto is “Don’t be an asshole.” I live every day according to that creed and it bothers me that a lot of people don’t.

5. What sound or noise do you love? I love the sound of laughter; particularly when I hear Mike and my sister, Yani, laugh.

6. What sound or noise do you hate? The sound of a lawnmower. I don’t know if it’s because during my freshman year of college, the lawn crew would cut the grass at 6 AM every Sunday morning right outside my dorm window.

7. What is your favorite curse word? Fuck. I curse, a lot, and so use it all the time to describe all sorts of things. I love its versatility. This explains it all:



8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? I’m stuck on two. I’ve always wanted to be a novelist and see my books published. I think if I was browsing through Barnes & Noble and found a book I wrote on the shelf, I’d simultaneously squeal and pee my pants. Now, though, I’m really into photography and am considering it as something that I could maybe do as more than a hobby some day.

9. What profession would you not like to do? Waitress. I would get fired in a second. Anyone who gives me shit will end up with a hot plate of food on their lap.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? “Hey, welcome to the party. All your peeps are here.”

Feel free to copy and paste the questions and leave them in the comments if you want to share your answers with the two people who read this thing.

Also, (because what's a little more self-promotion?) I'm going to try posting a picture-of-the-day to go along with my posts. Here is my first entry:

That's something straight out of War of the Worlds right there.
