MEME: Pivot Questionnaire

[solarhippie]

Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen, a meme we haven't done before! Although if you've watched Inside the Actor's Studio, you'll be familiar with it. It's simple: just answer these ten questions for your character:

1. What is your favorite word?
2. What is your least favorite word?
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
4. What turns you off?
5. What is your favorite curse word?
6. What sound or noise do you love?
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
8. What profession (other than your own, if you already have one) would you like to attempt?
9. What profession would you not like to do?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

And here is a handy box to copy-and-paste from:

<b>1. What is your favorite word?</b> <b>2. What is your least favorite word?</b> <b>3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?</b> <b>4. What turns you off?</b> <b>5.
