My Own "Vanity Fair" Proust Questionnaire

I admit it. I read "Vanity Fair" and I enjoy it. I also have to state that for the price of an issue I get some interesting reading by some very good contributing writers. At the end of each issue they give a questionnaire to a well known celeb and I always review their answers and think of how I would respond. So today, I answered the questions myself to give a more in depth personal view of myself. Here are the questions with my answers and maybe you too will think about them. Time to ponder your views.
