Hi. This is my first blog post and will possibly be my favorite one as well. Our First assignment in English Composition was to answer The Proust Questionnaire and to read Marcel Proust Biography. It is a thirty five questioned piece written by Marcel Proust. He believed that by filling out this questionnaire ones true personality would rise to the surface. I enjoyed this assignment and found it quite challenging to answer them myself. If you or a friend would like to answer these questions yourself, I suggest checking it out. You may find out something new about each other.
__1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness is having a financially stable, healthy family with someone I love and to have someone by my side who treats my struggles as their own. To wake up everyday feeling excited for what’s to come. __2.__What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is to be alone, or not knowing if the work I do now will pay off in the future. I am scared I am always making the wrong choice or not doing enough for myself. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? The thing I hate about myself the most is my anger towards anyone and everything. I hate my jealousy towards people who have things that I don’t. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? I dislike people blind to their own actions and people who feel entitled to things/think their problems are superior to others. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? I do not admire particular people in the world, but I do admire people who work hard and manage to keep a smile on their face everyday. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? I don't really have any. The most money I've ever spent was to go to community college; sitting in class is my greatest extravagance. __7.__What is your current state of mind? My current state of mind is a jumbled mess. I can't find anything in there. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I don't think any of them are overrated. I think all of them are necessary; maybe they do not need to be stressed as much as they are. I think “patience is a virtue” is ingrained into my memory for the rest of time. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I lie to people when I think it will protect them or when I do not feel like continuing the conversation. I find myself lying more than I would like to recently. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? My weight. I would like to gain a few pounds and not look like a spaghetti string! __11.__Which living person do you most despise? I dislike everyone an equal amount. None of them get special VIP HATE. I like to say I don't hate anyone but I am an angry person and have trouble letting things go. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? The qualities I like most in a man are maturity and humor. I can not handle someone who is going to argue with me over small things that have no lasting impact. I need someone to be able to put a smile on my face no matter how bad my day was. __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? Intelligence and confidence. I like girls who aren't worried about anyone else and have their own agenda. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I say dude to everyone. I think I call my own grandmother dude sometimes; it's a horribly unprofessional habit that comes out when I am excited. __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? My boyfriend, I still get butterflies in my stomach every time I see him. It’s really corny. I also love Hot Chocolate, best drink ever created. __16.__When and where were you happiest? I am happiest with my boyfriend and friends. I love spending time with them. I can't think of a particular time I was happiest because I like to think I get just as happy every time seeing them. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? If I could have any talent it would be piano playing and knowing how to read music I want to be able to play almost any piece of music out there. I took piano lessons for two years. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? If I could change one thing about myself it would be my anxiety. I wish it did not exist! It holds me back from doing things and I think it changes who I am and how others perceive me. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? Probably graduating high school, if you consider that an achievement and not an obligation these days. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I would want to be reincarnated into a person that would win the power-ball at 18. I want to know what it’s like to have more money than you can fathom. __21.__Where would you most like to live? By a beach that never gets tsunamis because that's my second greatest fear. No state in particular, I am pretty indecisive. __22.__What is your most treasured possession? My cell phone, My photo albums, A few pieces of jewelry given to me by my grandparents. __23.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Losing a loved one. Not wanting to live/Feeling like you have no place in this world. __24.__What is your favorite occupation? Baking. I say this based off of the twenty six food network shows I watch; If I could open up my own bakery and live forever off of the profits, I probably would do that. __25.__What is your most marked characteristic? I asked my friends. One of them said my brutal honesty. The other said my cheekbones. I would not know how to answer that question myself. I think of myself as a different person than from how other people view me. __26.__What do you most value in your friends? Support. I like friends who are interested in my life just as much as they are interested in talking about their own. I also value honesty in my friends. __27.__Who are your favorite writers? I do an excessive amount of reading and I don't happen to have any favorite writers. I was an insane Harry Potter fan as a kid with posters littering my walls.

Harry Potter is the hero of the ENTIRE wizarding world. __29.__Which historical figure do you most identify with? Marilyn Monroe, she was a bad bitch. __30.__Who are your heroes in real life? My grandmother. She is the strongest person alive, in the entire universe. I owe her my entire life and nothing less. She took me in and has raised my brother and I for the past 12 years. __31.__What are your favorite names? My favorite Boy names are Christopher and Mason. My favorite girl name is my own name or Elliot. Is that self-centered? I’ve just never heard anyone with the same name. __32.__What is it that you most dislike? Sauerkraut. Do you know what that is? It's the most disgusting thing ever created. __33.__What is your greatest regret? My biggest regret is not continuing my piano lessons. If I continued them throughout my childhood I would basically be a piano prodigy at this point, just saying. __34.__How would you like to die? I would like to die painlessly. __35.__What is your motto? I don't have a motto, if I had to think of one off the top of my head it would be: If I did it yesterday, I can do it today.
