I'm a fun girl who's on a quest to figure it all out. I'm cynical but living the dream- I'm not sure how that happened exactly. Follow along in my blog for fun, mayhem, and merriment. There's never a dull day! (Or, go download my book!)...

Fun Day!

Sunday, October, 12, 2008

Y’all have me getting all serious.  What it takes to be a parent, politics, life changes, my torrid life.  I even have a blog in waiting, but I decided to take a day to be light and fun which, despite what I’ve been putting forth lately, is totally who I am.  (skirt!tweeters, can I get an amen?!)

I have a Bravo TV addiction.  Even shows I don’t want to get hooked into like Flipping Out about the horrible house flipper with his particular beliefs and totally self-centered perspective pull me in.  But, one thing that can suck me in faster than a Dyson on meth is Inside the Actor’s Studio.

If you’ve never seen Inside the Actor’s Stuido, first of all, let me say, OH! MY! GAWD!  You’re missing out.  Even actors you couldn’t care less about, say the third mobster in the romance comedy of 1974 who was cut from the movie, is riveting when put in the hands of James Lipton. (Hell, he made a dork sitting in a pool interesting for a tv commercial.)  So, at the end of the show, he asks every guest a standard list of questions.  I forget right now where the questions came from and since my son scared the hell out of me at midnight when I was planning to go to bed and the seeds of illness kept us up another 1 1/2 hours, not one moment of which was spent getting a note to my daughter not to wake up at the crack of dawn, I don’t have the energy to remember or desire to go searching.  (It’s eating at me, but I’m denying it...the sooner I can finish, the sooner I can get a nap.)

So, for fun,  I thought I’d pop the questions up, answer them for myself, and see if any of you are brave enough to answer back.  We’ve got old friends meeting new friends with the whole digizine taking over Lubbock, so it’s a great ice breaker.

Here goes everything!

Enjoy!
Renee

Renee, loooove "Inside Actor's Studio!!!!!" I believe I've watched every single one. My favorite one was with Sharon Stone...Superb, oh, and the one with Lauren Bacall....and Melanie Griffith...and Paul Newman...and I have used those excellent questions when I've had a girls night at my house! Here's my favorite: What do you want God to say to you when you enter the Pearly Gates? Answer this, Please.

Cool idea Renee. Well, since you asked, here you go…What is your favorite word? I’ve thought about this one before and DON’T KNOW. I do rather like yours though, your right, it is a sexy word. Hmm, I guess just for an answer I will say martini because I do like to drink them and I think it just sounds cool, although I think this is a lame answer and I know if I thought about it for a while longer I’d come up with something better!..What is your least favorite word? That same C word that Amy hates – so vulgar What turns you on? Flirting What turns you off? Stupidity and /or rudeness What sound do you love? Big, huge belly laughs from my kids. What sound do you hate? My daughter screaming at me – especially when she says, “I hate you!” What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? Writer (I think I’d like that a lot.) What profession would you not like to participate in? Well, I am on the PTA at our school, but I don’t think I’d like to be the vice president. What's your favorite curse word? Fuck (yep, I love this one too!) If heaven exists what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? I know you often had your doubts, but I know that in your heart you always knew I was here, so welcome.

I love stumbling across old blogs that I've missed... it's like discovering ONE MORE PRESENT in the limbs of the Christmas tree as you're dismantling the lights before New Year's Eve. And here you are! OK, so here are my answers... What is my favorite word? My son and I actually have a FUN WORDS list. So far, it includes ratatouille, rubbish and shenanigan. I think rubbish is my fave so far. Least fave? I'm quite certain the n-word is the ugliest ever spoken OR thought. What turns me on? Heh. Looking at my husband's face, just before he realizes I'm watching him. What turns me off? Arrogance. What sound do I love? Pamela singing (and I haven't even heard her, yet). What sound do I hate? Confrontation. Eww and there's also the metal gate we unlock and swing open to access our mountain property. I go out of my way to LIFFFT the bar so it doesn't scrape across the metal. Gawd I hate that sound. What profession other than mine would I like to attempt? Journalism professor. What profession would I not like to participate in? Anything that requires my fanny in an office chair every day. What's my favorite curse word? Fruit. Oh sure sometimes I slip up... "Mom dropped the F-bomb!" and I can definitely develop a potty mouth during particularly unsuccessful swings on the golf course, but usually I just say, with emphasis and a nod to the heavens, FUHRUIT! Since heaven exists, what would I like to hear God say when I arrive at the Pearly Gates? I sure hope you brought chocolate! "Trust Life's unfolding..."
