Ewww...I don't want to work with meat either.
We have the same answer for 'noise we hate!' And I've learned a new word...well, I will have learned it once I look up 'verisimilitude.' LOL
Thanks for playing along!!
I wanted to be an archeologist when I was young.
Sometimes my kids play Mario so much I hum the tune all day lol. NIce to meet you fellow crusader!
thats a great curse word- lots of people seem to enjoy it LOL
ringing of the phone- yup bad sound.
Just reading the words, "Super Mario Brothers 3" made me smile thinking about the music. NICE!!!!
Great list
You could be a female Indiana Jones with Super Mario Brothers theme song! *LOL* I wouldn't want to do anything with meat or phones.
Love #10, it made me laugh. I now have the Super Mario's song in my head but you're right. It does make me smile
That phone thing must be common for writers--you're not the first I've seen to say it and I hate it too... And archeologist! Good answer. I'd like that, too. (not so different from writing in a way... solitarily stringing together the pieces to form a story)
Yes on the music for inspiration. And I agree on the curse word--I just didn't want to say so in my post, but I can say it in my comments.

Tossing It Out
Hi, I'm dropping in from the blog fest (nice to meet you!) and am your newest follower. I'm at: wwwl.kittiehoward.blogspot.com
It's amazing how many of us (me included) chose anthropology!
And my curse word, zounds, was the f-bomb during Shakespeare's time. But most don't know that, think it's quirky and smile and I get to let off steam (my dry sense of humor.)
Summer - Yeah, I noticed a lot of people like that curse word. *laughs* One of the best lines I remembered from my Roman Satire class was "Fellatio, nunca fuctare." If you think about the words, you can figure it out. It's terrible, but I remember it best about learning Latin. And, I've never cared much for phones, although I heart my cell phone, but that's mainly because I get emails on it.
L.A. - Thank you! I'm rather fond of my number ten answer too. *laughs* And, for me, Super Mario Bros. = good times.
Everyone - I'm getting to your comments either via email or through here. It's so great to be reading everyone's answers too!
Ha! I like your number 10 ;)
Rachel - Thanks! :D
Hey, thankas for stopping by my blog. I've popped over its nice to meet another blogfest addict. You're my kinda gal.
New follower here, and I promise to be back :) See you around the blogospere.

Super Mario Bro!!! And I hate distractions too.
Love your last answer.
My son is obsessed with Mario, not my fav. sounds.
I'm following.
Your favorite word is cool! This is such a fun blogfest.
YEs, that is a great word (not even going to try to type it - I know what it means but I can't spell it :)
But why "oops!" at heaven's gate? An unexpected answer like that makes me want to KNOW MORE!!
Oops we made a mistake. LOL. I loved that answer!
I've never considered the Mario's background music as uplifting except in the game ;) I can see why you'd have to work handling meat.
Hmmm, a lot of people like the F word and want to be archeologists. Fascinating. (Spock voice)
Eww, I don't ever want to work with meat either!
Why would God say that at the p[early gates?? Hmmm...intrigue. ;)
Hugs,
Lola
I'm with you on the meat. blech!
Great list,
Corinne

Okay, these are seriously original answers! Love your fave word, and your Super Mario Brothers answer made ME smile.
Your favorite word is a mouthful. And I feed off music as well! :)
Yes, phone ringing is awful, just awful. It makes my blood pressure go up.
ARchaeologist! Yay! Great answers :o)
archaeologist seems to be one of the most popular.
Corinne - Thanks for dropping by! *laughs* Sometimes those word verifications crack me up too.
So interesting how many people are into archeology! Hello from a fellow crusader.
Hi, Cheri,
I love your favorite word....
Interesting choice for you favorite word.
Michael
Lauri - Hi! It is fascinating so many are into archaeology. :) Thanks for dropping by!
Hi Cherie, We have the same curse word. I like your favorite word too.

We have the same affection for f*ck.
I never thought about the Super Mario game music, but I find myself humming that sometimes!
Pamela Jo - I wish you luck. :) And, I like to think the Oops is more for the fact that I shouldn't be there yet. Thanks for dropping by!
