Proust #25 What is your most marked characteristic? I’ve got a reputation. I’m known for a few of my more *air quotes* prominent characteristics. Shocking, I know. I’ve been called opinionated more than once and it’s true. I am and it’s gotten me in hot water from time to time. Again, shocking I know. Let’s […]
The Proust Questionnaire
Books, books, books…
Proust #24 What is your favourite occupation? I’m going to assume that Proust isn’t talking about a job, but about my favourite pastime. For as long as I can remember, I have loved reading. My mom tells me I could read when I was four years old. I know that in kindergarten I must have […]
Misery loves company
Proust #23 What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? I think it must be to have lost what you love the most, knowing you can never get it back, that you must live on without it, alone. It’s the alone part that would frighten me the most. To have to exist without […]

The sum of my parts
Proust #18 If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Holy lightning, where do I start? And more to the point, where do I stop? Haven’t you ever played this game with yourself? It’s kind of like the “If I won the lottery I would…” game, because if I did, I’d […]
My greatest achievement
Proust #19 What do you consider to be your greatest achievement? I hope you are all thinking along with these questions because I don’t want to be the only one who reads the question and thinks holy cow, how do I even answer that? Maybe this one seems especially difficult because I’m sitting in a […]
Getting a do-over
Proust #20 If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I cannot for the life of me think why I would want to come back as a thing. And as far as coming back as another person, who’s life would I want? But…a few years […]
