I really loved this questionnaire Vero filled out at her brother's behest. I think that this type of blog doesn't lend itself well to an accurate portrait of who I am (unless a collection of images can in some profound post-modern way tell my most accurate story)
Proust Questionnaire Part One
What is your idea of perfect happiness? Right now the first thing that springs to mind is silence. In the long term I think it will be dying knowing I brought happiness to people who I saw, met, knew and loved.
What is your greatest fear? As Veronica said, failure. Failure and the resulting disappointment and dishonor.
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Meekness.
What is the trait you most deplore in others? Tactlessness.
What is your greatest extravagance? Fantasizing
What is your current state of mind? Contemplative. It does seem strange to me that all of us are deep in a state of serious criticism and introspection. I am attempting to minimize the chances of…well, everything, escalating to a new kinds of violence.
On what occasion do you lie? In an admittedly misguided attempt to cherish people’s feelings, I do lie. Often.
What do you dislike most about your appearance? Unfortunately, I’m a little transparent; my physical appearance often betrays my feelings.
