Inside 1.6

Recently, I had the privilege to make a few new friends. It was even before the New Year, so it was kind of a nice note to end 2013, a year of great struggle to find friendship actually. My last few months of the year were filled with absolute great blessing, truly.

Most recent, I was posed with questions from one of these newbies in my life.

Have any of you seen, Inside the Actor’s Studio. I have never really watched it, but have seen these questions before. Also something we should reinstate at camp this year? So much fun to answer these on a night we have just stayed up for hours practicing the skit, already run the mountain that morning, and just exhausted, the truth comes out full force, even in the hilarity.

OK, so I might have a problem keeping on track!

Back to it.

This person, started asking me some questions from this list. And we didn’t really get to finish. But I started thinking about the questions more and more. They are really good questions. And I feel my answers change day by day, so I wanted to write them down, to have a clearer view. (Side Note: We finished the questions a few days later.)

Just ten questions:

1. What is your favorite word? Omnipotent. I like the sound of it, either way you choose to say it. And the word is descriptive of so much, and my meaning always floats back to one. And this year, it will be present a lot in my life I am sure. And I am thankful for this.

2. What is your least favorite word? I dislike the word moist. I cannot say hate because that is such a strong word, and it is part of one of my resolutions to improve upon my vocabulary so I will not use hate. But I also have an aversion to fear as well. The word strikes an anxiousness that I never truly admit to. So there you go.

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually, emotionally? Passion, Integrity, Humor, Dedication, Humility, Loyalty, Understanding. A lot I know.

4. What turns you off? Negativity. I’m already negative towards myself enough. And am working to get out of that. Also, passive aggressivity.  Not really a word, but it is now.

5. What sound or noise do you love? The sound of falling rain and falling snow. And the crunching sound snow makes beneath you feet, a slight give and rumple beneath your shoes.

6. What sound or noise do you hate? Whiney Crying, or that voice people get when they are complaining in the weird way.

7. What is your favorite curse word? Sh** would have to be a pretty good one (may have stolen that one from someone)

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? I would love to be an adventure guide, or a park ranger in Arches National Park.

9. What profession would you not like to do? Plumber. I just don’t know if I would have the gut to do the job. Get it? :)

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? First, heaven exists. And I would love God to just hug me, telling me He is glad to have me home.
