Hello there. This is my first blog post for my English Composition class. For this post, I was asked to answer the Proust Questionnaire, a list of 35 questions popularized by French writer Marcel Proust. It is said that Proust believed a person’s true nature is revealed by answering all of these questions. These questions were very fun to answer and gave me something to do in my spare time. If you want to see and answer all of the questions on your own, you can access the questionnaire through the link below:
www.vanityfair.com/proust-questionnaire __1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? A world without worries where I can do what I want when I want, without any limitations, money or otherwise. I don’t like the fact that people are unable to reach what they truly wish to look like or wear due to the limitations of money. __2.__What is your greatest fear? I don’t know. I guess I don’t like jump scares, I get easily startled. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? My lack of empathy for other people. If someone betrays me or gets hurt, I frankly don’t care. As long as it does not interfere with my internal schedules I don’t care who or what goes in and out of my life. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? Paranoia. I hate when people overthink situations or what other people are thinking then decide to bother me with their drama. Sure, I don’t mind giving you advice, but if you don’t take it and have the audacity to come back to me for the same advice you are wasting my time. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? I do not admire anyone more than others. In my opinion, everyone has traits you can respect and traits you despise and overall, everyone is equally bad. Including myself. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? Everything! My friends always say I’m the hardest to buy gifts for because if I say I want something, It’s already being delivered to my house. I proudly spend way too much money at the King of Prussia Mall. The employees know me by name now. __7.__What is your current state of mind? I don’t know. I don’t tend to look at my state of my mind because it’s never good so I just kind of ignore it. The easiest way to describe it is “I’m just kinda here.” __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I honestly don’t know. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I don’t lie unless I’m manipulating people into doing my bidding. Otherwise, I just leave out minor details that don’t change the overall message I'm sending. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? All of it. I don’t know how to explain this any better than that. __11.__Which living person do you most despise? Natalie. Don’t worry about who she is, just know that I hate her with every fiber in my body. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? Humor. If they can’t take a joke, they will quickly grow to hate me. __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? Also humor. I have a very dark sense of humor. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I say “dawg,” “bet,” “ard,” and “yuh” way too much. At this point, most people cannot understand what my friends and I are saying. __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? The greatest love of my life has to be music. If I cannot listen to music almost 24/7 I’m leaving with the music. I listen to music a concerning amount. And if it doesn’t look like I'm listening to music. It’s still playing, just very silently. __16.__When and where were you happiest? 9th to 11th-grade high school. It was my peak when it comes to my whole life. What most people dreaming of doing in their adulthood I accomplished within those three years. I became popular at school, traveled to every continent, performed for world leaders, performed on Broadway, and attempted to assist in world peace through music. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? Dance. I would love to be able to diss someone and then just moonwalk away. They wouldn’t know how to feel after that. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My entire appearance. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? Most likely performing for the Pope during his visit to PA, not many people can flex that. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I would come back as a sloth so I would be forced to be lazy by my own body. If I move too much i’d die. __21.__Where would you most like to live? Anywhere warmer than here and has fewer potholes. Most likely I would choose California for the weather and forest fires. __22.__What is your most treasured possession? Right now it’s a Joji skate deck I have that was released alongside his debut studio album, BALLADS 1. I have it mounted above my TV and I refuse to set it up or skate on it. __23.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? When you’re breaking down crying in an Arby’s bathroom thinking that you have no future, the only thoughts being that you should and will die young. First off, you know you messed when the place you’re in is Arby’s. Second off if you think you have no future then you’re either very depressed, experienced misfortune or your life has led up to nothing but a big fat “L.” __24.__What is your favorite occupation? Being unemployed yet well off. I hate working unless it’s something I woke up and wanted to do that day. I honestly have no clue where my money comes from though. __25.__What is your most marked characteristic? I’m logical. I could care less if it will hurt your opinion if it is a fact, it is a fact. I will rarely argue something I don’t know about. I hate arguing opinions unless they are fact-based. __26.__What do you most value in your friends? They are as equally as idiotic and chaotic as I am. When we all go to a store together, we are getting kicked out of that store. We also scare the mass public with our satirical actions. __27.__Who are your favorite writers? Robert Louis Stevenson because he wrote Treasure Island and that was one of the few books I enjoyed reading. It was good enough for me to read it on my own without it being an assigned reading book. __28.__Who is your hero of fiction? Any antihero. I love the idea of a hero saving the world, but in the same instance destroying an innocent bystander because their cell phone was better than his. __29.__Which historical figure do you most identify with? I’m not sure. My friends compare me to Machiavelli, I kind of see it but I also think that he could do better at making himself seem like the good guy rather than primarily using fear to rule because fear can backfire. __30.__Who are your heroes in real life? Nobody in particular. I don’t deem many people heroes so I guess I’d say the people who make it their goal to leave zero impact on this world when they pass. __31.__What are your favorite names? Bartholomew or Constantine. Nobody ever expects a Bartholomew and Constantine is just a cool name in general. __32.__What is it that you most dislike? People. I enjoy being alone, too many people can cause nothing but problems. __33.__What is your greatest regret? Staying in my old school system for as long as I did. It was god awful and I’ve mostly erased it from part of my own life. I just act like it never happened. __34.__How would you like to die? Suicide through either overdosing or a bullet through my head. I would want the rest of the world to not about the fact I killed myself until a week later to see how people close would react knowing there was nothing in there power to save me and that death is just something common and should be lived with. Another great answer would be in a way that would win me a Darwin Award. __35.__What is your motto? I've been known to have a few mottoes. It's either "give up," "don't try. Succeed," or "People suck, don't trust them."
