Message Board Celebrity Of The Day (Part II) - Shameless — Page 132

congrats, griz.

say the world were ending in three hours and there was no way to stop it or let anyone know what was happening. how would you spend those 3 hours?

Thanks for the questions! Let me try, briefly, to answer a few more.
DG -What five people's message has effected me and to whom I listen.
Jesus Christ - His words and example, not necessarily other's interpretations of them.
JRR Tolkien as evidenced in The Lord of the Rings. I first read these books when I was 14 or 15 and they had a profound impact on me. I think I learned a tremendous amount through these books about what is important (compassion, responsibility, honor, redemption and grace) and how to behave.
Martin Luther King Jr. - What can I say? This man spoke for human rights for all people, and rights with respect and dignity.
All accomplished without violence.
Oscar Wilde - Wise, witty, compassionate, human.
Saint Brigit - There are not many of this woman's words around, but her example speaks for her. She was a 4th or 5th Century Irish woman who converted her pagan father, an Irish cheiftain, to Christianity. The cross made of reeds that decorates many an Irish house is attributed to her. More important, she founded a monastery for men and woman, in which both were encouraged to learn and keep knowledge alive. She believed in equality of the sexes, that God had created men and women as full and complete human beings in His image.
Kitz - in the Actor's Studio tradition:
Favorite word = Visionary
Least favorite word = cruelty
What turns you on = the act of creating something, either with words, or with some other materials, as per my previous post about designing.
What turns you off? Rigidity, labels, dogmatic thinking.
Favorite Curse Word = F(*k! (I'm not proud of this)
Sound I love = Not original, but my cats' purring or my dog's "talking".
Sound I hate = the sound of a squeegie on glass. It makes my back teeth hurt.
Other profession besides my own - Oceanographer or marine archeologist (a toss up).
Profession I wouldn't like - prison warden
God's words at Heaven's gates - "Welcome home. There's still so much to learn."

Day Dreamer, you asked about a tree. I would be a white birch, not the sort that grows in the swamp, but a tall, stately one that grows in fields or more open places. Its bark glows with the light of dawn or sunset, and is the last light to fade in the dusk. Even in the dark, it is like solid moonlight. It's leaves are a pure green, like the first shoots of spring and golden before they fall. My parents had a tree like this on the corner of our property when I was growing up. I loved it.

Who would I have for a dinner guest? I would have to say I'd use my time machine and invite Irish statesman, Eamon De Valera. He was there during the Easter Rising and the building of his nation through most of the 20th Century. He was also a mathematician and scholar. I think he would be a wonderful dinner companion and I'd learn a lot. The menu? Something very down-home and American, like roast turkey with all the Tranksgiving trimmings perhaps, since he was born in the USA.

Thanks for your kind words, Junglered.
Papa: What would I do if I knew the world was going to end? Gather my family members around me and talk, hold and just love each other. Most of all, I'd try to find something to make us smile and remember all the good times. Also, if there was someone with whom I was having issues, I'd try to ask their forgiveness.

GRIZZABELLA!

The start of something new on the Family Tree!

Grizz! I just logged on for the first time today-Congrats to my Valentine! xoxoxox Let's see, I may as well stick to what I like to know-art and/or photography. Are you into it? Any favorites?

---

Jane2! I'm no expert on either, but I like many things. For my home, I lean toward realistic art and collected a few watercolors from an artist called Sylvia Gormley whom I met in New Mexico. Think lots of flowers, doorways and adobe walls.
I looked up Bottero on your recommendation and liked what I saw. I also have a soft spot for William Morris' designs, Gaugin, Mary Saurat, Georgia O'Keefe (NM again!)and Van Gogh.
Not very sophisticated, I know, but often, I see something that just grabs me, whether it's by a "name" or not.
Thanks, everyone. I have to go for a few hours now, but I'll be back later!

Congrats on being MBCotD!

Grizz! What a choice for MCCotD!!!!!!

Congratulations from your BWW "daughter" :)

Congrats!

Grizzy,

What was the lake in North Jersey? Which part of North jersey did you grow up? (I promise not to go there and produce a film exposé with a title like "The Real Grizzabella: Tell It Like It Was.")

Since you are so refined and well-read, I will ask you a silly question inspired by putting my son to bed tonight:

If you were a Warner Brothers cartoon character, which one would you be...and why?

---

grizz is my favorite wiz! yay!

I have many friends and have spent a great deal of time in Morris County. (My favorite Irish bar is in Dover: The Quiet Man.) I have long history with the county. I could go on and on. But this is supposed to be about YOU, Mr. Fudd!!!

Anyway, after reading your answers to the many questions that have been posed, I am even more devoted to you. I also understand better why we have so much in common. (But this thread is so good for doing that, isn't it? Thanks again, Craig!)

You always ask what everyone's comfort read and comfort music is. Tell us yours!

Grizzabella - Another great day of questions and answers. I'm so glad I finally started paying attention to this thread. For sure you are well deserving of this honor and congratulations are in order! Now - what has drawn you to a love for theater and what are some of your favorite theatrical experiences either watching or participating.
