To Meme or not to Meme

No one actually tags me for memes, but this one, which I saw on Chatiryworld looked fun, so what the heck. I wonder, is there an etiquette to these things? I mean, is it considered gauche to just respond to one even if no one actually tags you? Well, I've always been kinda nerdy, anyway.

1. What is your favorite word?
Vermicious (as in "vermicious knids").

2. What is your least favorite word?
Often (can't stand they way some people insist on pronouncing the "t")

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Tie between Scottish country dancing and singing part songs

4. What turns you off?
Smoking

5. What is your favorite curse word?
Scheisse (swearing in a foreign language seems somehow more harmless and yet more satisfying than doing so in English).

6. What sound or noise do you love?
The singing fountain in the Belvedere Garden in Prague. Drops of water fall into the bronze fountain and make a sound that is like soft bells. I also love the sound of church bells ringing.

7. What sound or noise do you hate?
The low hum that electronic devices emit and which I only notice when I am trying to sleep.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
If I could get good enough at one of the numerous other languages I've studied, a translator.

9. What profession would you not like to do?
Anything related to finance. Money is boring.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"This is a test. It is only a test. If this had been your actual death . . ."
