Proust Questionnaire


I have been feeling under the weather lately, so that means my time has been spent watching Modern Family and drinking a lot of tea. I decided to go through our apartment to see if there was anything I wanted to donate to Goodwill, or sell in my ebay store. I was successful in finding items for both, but I also came across the book Influence where I first discovered the Proust Questionnaire. I filled it out a few years ago, but I feel like it's important to answer the questions again every few years.

  1. Interesting! Very, very interesting! Many of your answers are the same as mine. I like that you said gentleness. The quality I most admire in anyone is the ability to accept and be friendly. I also too nice and at times too timid. Owls are my favorite too! Yes to Hermione Granger and Shakespeare! I think you mentioned before that you're first name is Megan, but I totally forgot!
