-Proust Questionnaire-

I realised that I haven't told that much about me in this blog, and I see people taking these questionnaires about themselves to reveal bits and pieces of their personalities. And I wanted to do something classy, nothing with: "How many people have you slept with?"- type of questions. 

Then I remembered that there is one very clever one on every issue of Vanity Fair. That questionnaire is based on the famous Proust Questionnaire, which is falsely credited as being invented by Proust, but it was actually just made popular by him. The one in Vanity Fair is just one version of it, second that comes to mind is from Inside Actors Studio, a TV show which I've lately grown to like very much. In ISA, James Lipton gives his version of the questionnaire to his quests (actors, directors, etc), but that is bit boring one, so I chose the Vanity Fair.

In the same time, this is also a challenge to all the other bloggers,  you can answer the questions yourselves at Vanity Fair and see which celebrity chose answers most like you. Just remember to take the answers up before completing, so you can write them to your blog, as you won't be able to see them after completing the questionnaire, but you have to take it again, or copy my text and replace with your answers.

Here are my answers, and remember to not over think the answers, they are supposed to be answered in rapid session.
