Today, I am participating in Monday Listicles, a weekly creation started by Stasha at The Good Life.
On Mondays, Stasha thinks of an idea for a list, or she enlists the help of her fellow bloggers to think of an idea for a list. For instance, the idea for today’s list comes from Bridget at Twinisms: Answer the 10 questions James Lipton asks of his guests during the show “Inside the Actor’s Studio”. Because I have a habit of talking to myself, an interview-related list seemed right up my crazy alley.
.::.
“What would you do with out me?”
“Seriously. When I read the list for today, I was so excited. I knew this would be a cake walk for me, thanks to you. I just hope the others remain quiet.”
“Nah. No worries there. I gave them a few math sheets to complete.”
“Dang! You are harsh!”
“Yep. You are. Ready for the first question?”
“Yes I am! Woo hoo!”
“Easy, Cheetah. What is your favorite word?“
“Plethora. I especially like it when the word ‘veritable’ accompanies it.”
“What is your least favorite word?”
This is tough for me, because I have several words I do not like. I’ll go with the word ‘hate‘.
“What turns you on?”
“Right now, it’s Stark from the SciFi TV show Eureka. Oh, and when Rob wears jeans. The man freakin’ lives in khakis – much like I live in turtlenecks. When I see him don a pair of jeans, I swoon.”
“What turns you off?”
“Disrespect.”
“What sound do you love?”
“Laughing babies, toddlers and little kids. That sound is innocent and pure.”
“What sound do you hate?”
“Babies, toddlers and children crying in pain and/or sadness. Cuts me to my core and breaks my heart.”
“What is your favorite curse word?”
“BLEEP!”
“Excuse me? ‘Bleep’ is your favorite curse word?”
“Of course not. But, the word would get bleeped during Inside the Actor’s Studio, so I figured I’d stay in character.”
“Stay in character? Good gravy, Lenore. You have issues.”
“Yes, fine. Now please continue with the questions.”
“What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?”
“Well first, being that I have a profession means I would no longer need to attempt the said profession. So, ‘other than yours’ need not be included in the sentence.”
“You’d say that to Mr. Lipton, too, wouldn’t you?”
“You betchum, Red Rider!”
*sigh* “What profession do you want to attempt?”
“Radio Talk-show host.”
“What profession would you not like to do?”
“I do not want to be a high rise window washer. I do not want any profession where extreme heights are the norm.”
“If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?”
“We have ice cream.”
“Stop it! Seriously?!”
“You bet! I’ll be a nervous wreck and totally blushing. So, I hope God smiles, and tries to put me at ease by mentioning ice cream. Look, the Man knows me.”

As I mentioned earlier, I have a habit of talking to myself. Back in June 2010, I interviewed myself for my 100th post. Yeah, I’m weird. I think the above post goes well with my post back in June 2010, which was read by a total of 5 people. Fine, three people – the other two hits were from me. If you’re curious, here is the link: My 100th Post – The Interview
Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
Ice cream love it!
I’ll be sure to save you some, Vix. (Thanks for visiting.)
I love the way you did this! Radio talk show host sounds like a fabulous job. Smart, witty, and can do it in your pjs, sign me up!
Welcome to the neighborhood, Jackie. Thank you for stopping by and reading my post. I am glad you enjoyed it. Here’s to our future careers as radio talk show hosts, Jackie! (smile) Thanks again for visiting.
Hilarious!
Have you ever seen any of the Saturday Night Live takes on ‘Inside the Actor’s Studio’? I have a hunch you might enjoy those skits, Ms. D.
🙂
Glad you had a laugh, SIG. I will check out the SNL skits. I have a hunch your hunch is accurate. 🙂
Hee hee! Thanks for the laugh this morning! I’m with spilledinkguy…the SNL skit of Will Ferrel as James Lipton are hysterical!
Thank you for laughing, Darla! Now, I’m off to find the mentioned SNL skits. (Thanks for visiting!)
(shaking head) You slay me. Seriously. Slay.
(smiling and nodding) And you me, Kim. And you me.
Brilliant! I am still laughing. All ten are my favorite, so there. And babies crying is heart wrenching, I agree!
Thank you for the opportunity, Stasha. I am glad my crazy made you laugh. (smile) Thanks for visiting!
Hilarious!
Welcome to the neighborhood, Amanda. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I am happy to learn you liked the post. Thanks again!
Very creative and fun–thanks!
Thanks, Bella! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Lenore this one is really funny and a really unique one. And i also can tolerate disrespect ( and lie ). now i am going to read your 100th post – the interview. Let me check if you are talking very less by then also, or it’s new . (Smile)
You are kind, Arindam. Thank you.
What a funny post, Lenore. You had me LOLing!.
Woo hoo! Glad I had you laughing, Lisa. Folks find it easy to laugh at my crazy. (smile) Thanks for visiting!
Ice cream with my wine in heaven. Yes, please.
I was about to say, “Can’t wait!” but – well, I can wait. No hurry. I’ll take the grocery store ice cream for now, and I’m sure your cool with the boxed wine, right? (smile) Thanks for stopping by, Bridget!
How about an ice cream eating, radio talk show host who wears jeans and turtlenecks?
Oh my gosh, Nancy. Perfection! Let me know if you find such an opportunity. In the meantime, I’ll let that scenario play out in my dreams. Nice!
That’s like heaven on earth. 😉
Exactly, Jacquelin!
It seems that the talking to yourself/interviewing yourself is great practice for your future radio talk show host career.
I’m a natural, eh? Callers would want to interrupt my voices, though. It could get ugly. (smile)
Welcome to the neighborhood, Jacqui. I appreciate you stopping by here.
It’s 6:55am Tuesday, Dec.20th, great way to start the day.
I’m with ya about the ice cream … love hot fudge sundaes.
Mmmmm…. hot fudge sundaes. It’s been way too long since I’ve enjoyed the simplicity of a hot fudge sundae. I think I’ve just put something on a list of things to do. (smile) Thanks for visiting, Maxi. I appreciate your kind words.
I love Eureka too, but Stark does nothing for me…Carter all the way…
Ditto on the crying…even worse when men cry…I cry too!
Totally agree on the ice cream (I hope they have peanuts to put on top!)…
Fun post, Lenore!
Wendy
Stark grew on me, Wendy. At first, his nose was a huge distraction. Not ugly – just literally huge. He got me with his smile. He has a lovely smile. I’m watching Season 3, I think. I’m not sure he is still in the series, and I don’t want to give off any spoilers. Oh, Carter is nice, too. He’s growing on me. His humor (thanks to the writers) is fantastic! I love Fargo, too. Great, great, great show!
Here’s to peanuts and ice cream, Wendy! Thanks for visiting. Glad you liked the post.
We need to get back to watching Eureka…I think we left off somewhere in Season 4? Maybe over the holidays…
Here’s one of my posts where I talked about Eureka (search my blog for others): http://writerwoman61.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/sunday-seals-siamese-twins-and-sci-fi/

Fantastic List! A Radio host would be kinda fun!
Welcome, Audrey! Thank you for stopping by the ‘hood. I am glad you liked the list. Maybe this post will be the ticket to Radio Talk-Show hosting fame! Or not. (smile)
I think I’m beginning to see why you use both names, Lenore and Diane. Thanks for including us in your conversations with yourself. 🙂 I’m beginning to feel a tad more normal.
Just like I watch the show “Cops” to feel a little more normal, I share my crazy with others so they feel more normal. I am glad you appreciate my transparency, Patti. You’re welcome. (giggle, giggle)
Lenore Diane, you are a stitch! I’m so glad I seem to have more time now to read your posts. Though, I have been getting into work later. Have you seen Will Farrell do Lipton on SNL?
Others suggested I watch the Will Farrell SNL skit, which I did. Very funny.
Thanks for spending time with my posts, AA. I appreciate you putting me before your paid gig. (smile)
