What is your favorite word? My favorite word that I've stumbled upon recently is quiddity. It means the essence or "whatness" of something. I also like preternatural and verisimilitude.
What is your least favorite word? Satisfied. The origin of my dislike for this word is rooted in someone I know regularly eating 2 bites of popcorn and a sip of diet coke in place of a meal and saying, "I'm so satisfied!" Blech. Years later I still cringe.
What turns you on (creatively, spiritually or emotionally)? Gratitude, reflection, a thoughtful gesture from my husband, traveling, being outside in 85 - 90 degree weather with a nice breeze, experiencing a new place for the first time, being near mountains and nature, especially rivers, and coffee and a comfy chair at Borders
What turns you off (creatively, spiritually or emotionally)? a dirty or cluttered house or workspace, bad breath or other noxious smells, people chattering away loudly on their cell phones about personal problems in otherwise quiet public spaces
What sound or noise do you love? The sound of a river, wind in the trees
What sound or noise do you hate? honking horns, shrill whistling, chewing noises and the gait of every narrator's voice on PBS programs
What is your favorite curse word? I'm good for a well placed s$#t or f&$k from time to time.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? writer, paid traveler/explorer, lady of leisure, flying trapeze artist?
What profession would you not like to do? I think one of the circles of hell may require making telemarketing or sales cold calls for all of eternity.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Welcome home.

I got such a good laugh about why you don't like the word "satisfied". I had a boss like that and we used to make so much fun of her!!
I'm in total agreement with the cell phone talkers. Drives me crazy!
