The Pivot Questionnaire

Hey guys, I've noticed that no-one has posted anything since November. That's a whole 4 months, seems we're getting a tiiiny bit behind XD
 
So, to try to kickstart us up again, I've decided that, before the end of the month, we each need to do something to get back in the game... er, blog. And having thought long and hard for about 5 minutes, I thought that it would be interesting for everyone to have a go at answering the Pivot Questionnaire.
 
If you have no idea what that is, there's an American TV show called "Inside the Actors Studio", where actors get interviewed at the Actors Studio Drama School in New York. At the end of every interview they're asked this set of questions, which were originally used by a French interviewer called Bernard Pivot on one of his shows. It's quite an interesting set, so I thought I'd give it a go.

1.       What is your favourite word?Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Purely for the look on someone’s face when they get diagnosed with it.

2.       What is your least favourite word? – Won’t, it makes no sense to me that it’s an abbreviation of ‘will not’.

3.       What turns you on, creatively, spiritually or emotionally? – Talking to myself. If I’m writing something, like a novel or a script, I always talk through the dialogue by myself to make sure it sounds like a real conversation. Somehow that became a thing I do.
     ... I’m not crazy.

4.       What turns you off? – Anything on MTV that isn’t music, I just shut down when I see it. And sometimes the music on there too.

5.       What is your favourite curse word? – A broad Yorkshire “Fook off”.

6.       What sound or noise do you love? – Any noise that breaks absolute silence.

7.       What sound or noise do you hate? – Absolute silence.

8.       What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt? – Time traveller. ’nuff said.

9.       What profession would you not like to do? – Game tester. Not reviewer or player, but the guy who jumps in the same spot 5000 times to see if the game glitches. I would never want to grow to hate video games.

10.   If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? – We have everything set up like you wanted, go nuts.

Well, at least that broke the 4-month blog-post famine =P

  1. Not at all sure I have anything interesting for you, but in the name of getting this blog back on the road, I shall answer this thing!

    1. Best word - There are way too many... bubble? It's an excellent word to say. Maybe bubblewrap, if you say it right.
    2. Worst word - I agree completely with won't! But my least favourite word is probaborally flour, as it makes even less sense to me.
    3. Creative/emotional/spiritual thing - Err.. not sure I like the wording here. Mountains, acoustic guitar, really good drumming, Phillipians 4
    4. Annoying thing - People's obsession with "science"
    5. Best curse - Fribble
    6. Best noise - Acoustic guitar again?
    7. Worst noise - Recordings of my voice
    8. Best job - Can I have time traveller too?
    9. Worst job - The sewer diver of Mexico City
    10. Thing to hear at heaven - We've got something better than bacon.
