10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Ответ Kate:
1. Uninterruptability. It's a linguistic term which I will never forget. Basically it means that a word is inseparable and nothing can be inserted in a word. I like it because when I was studying linguistics this very word made me think really hard of the things I'd never been thinking of before. Plus, it's so long!
2. Always. How on earth do we know what "always" mean?..
3. Ideas. When I have an idea, I'm gonna rush for it and spend all my energy on that.
4. Family problems. When somebody is not well.
5. Running water. But as a globalist I try to avoid leaving the water out when I brush my teeth, 'cause it wastes too much water which I relly don't use. At the same time when I take a long bath, I just love listening to the water sound - peaceful and calm. And well, rivers and seas are just wonderful.
6. Unexpected loud sounds. The first thought is always "Oh my God, it's falling on me/it's catching me/it's going to hurt me!"
7. F word, crap, shit, bastard, oh balls. It's not that I curse a lot, but I use many of them :)
8. A children aerobics couch. An art teacher. A vet.
9. My list is 3: a guard, a driver, a seller.
10. "Welcome, it's another life. Go meet everyone you loved".
Мой ответ:
1. Hammock. I like this word. I like to feel it in my tongue. To roll it in my mouth. A wonderful word.
2. Evgen. It's the name of my colleague. He's a stinky and a downer. He bores me and makes me yawn.
3. Kate. When I read her livejournal my heart beats like boom! boom! boom! Cuz She is the greatest person I ever met in my life. She is like a sunshine. She inspires me to exploits!!!
4. Granny. She's very ill.
5. The rustle of foliage. I like the wind and then I love to hear the wind playing with the foliage
6. Belch. I hate burping people. I wanna pull off my sock and put it into my roommate's mouth
7. Pancake(BLIN). It's my big trouble. I'm using this word everyday and every time. I don't want to do it
8. Waitress.Why not?
9. Office Manager. I do not like paperwork.
