What's your favorite word? Opalescent. As strange as it sounds, it's one of those words that has so few opportunities to be said... and yet, every time I have a chance to say it in proper context, I always get the same reaction. "Ooo, good word..."
What is your least favorite word? Rape. I cannot hear that word and not be put completely on edge. The other day, a radio personality was attempting to use it in a playful fashion to describe how turned on he would get by his wife that he felt he would need to make love to her... yet the two times he used that word in a light hearted fashion, it just made my teeth grind.
What turns you on? A warm smile. Not suggestive, or leering... but really, I feel a smile is the most attractive thing a woman can wear. A warm smile is relaxed and at ease, and it communicates to the other person that either you''re the source for that smile, or they want to share that feeling with you.
What turns you off? Apathy. I like it when people feel strongly about something. But when someone is just a heavy weight, unwilling to be involved in the world around them and just sitting there with a complete lack of caring... it's frustrating. There is little or nothing you feel like you can do with them.
What sound or noise do you love? The trill welcoming call of Saskia. It tells me that she's happy I'm there, and I can't help but smile when I hear it.
What sound or noise do you hate? There is a particular tone that people make when they're crying and they then scream at you. It's shrill, hateful, angry, and pained all at once. I had a step-mother who used this tactic as a manipulative method against people because she knew how ugly a noise this was.
What is your favorite curse word? Dammit. Not "damn it", all one word, flowing together. It can be used without being directed at someone, to exclaim a negative feeling about something. I have a fond preference to use it in three's, as well. "Dammit, dammit, dammit!"
What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? Well, discounting professional writer, because I still have hopes in that field... a musician. I wouldn't much care what instrument I played, either. the idea of making music as a way of life appeals to me.
What profession would you not like to attempt? Strip club janitor. Ewwwww.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "Welcome, Chris. I know you have a lot of questions still... let me help explain things to you so you understand."
