chalice26's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proust Questionnaire 1. What is your idea of perfect happiness? Having all of my needs met along with most of my wants!
Pain and death...a painful death (not necessarily my own).
Weakness...fear, anger, regret. All of these seem weak to me.
Dishonesty.
Luis. He's creative, spontaneous, and fearless. He can rise to any challenge, but is also the most fun-loving person I know.
Probably my coffee and cigarettes. I don't deny myself too many things, though.
I am feeling rebellious a lot lately and also combative...with myself. I need to practice a little more self-denial to be the person I want to be.
Youth. I have a serious lack of admiration for a person with no perspective. When you've done nothing it's easy to see the world in black and white. I prefer people who can empathize. I don't feel that a lot of young people can walk in someone elses shoes.
Very rarely. Sometimes I lie to make an explanation simpler or to smooth something over.
Right now it's my teeth. I really want to get braces.
Probably my dad or George Bush. Both of them are pointless, lying losers.
Ability. The good ones seem to scale any obstacle put in front of them while hardly breaking a sweat--I love that.
Compassion. I love the way women are willing to try to understand and help almost anyone for any reason.
Ridiculous, bizarre, pointless, crazy....pretty much everything I say is redundant. Sad.
Luis, obviously. I get bored with people who aren't stimulating. He is always doing something bold, new, and impressive. I need that in someone if I can be committed forever.
A lot of my best memories are from Vegas. Luis drove me there for Valentines to meet the parents, we got married there, we took a lot of our vacations there...
Oh, pick one. I would love to be able to sing or play an instrument or paint or design clothes...all of the above.
Whatever genetic malfunction that I have that I gave to my daughter...but only if I could change it in the past. To change it right now would be a waste of my time.
Becoming comfortable with the life that I have--not just the choices I make, but the things I have no control over. That's been work, let me tell you!
A man.
By the beach in Italy or in the UK. I think I am meant to be English...maybe I was in a past life!
My photos. They are the one thing I know I would run off with if there was a fire. (I don't consider my family a possession).
I guess hell--eternal flames and all that.
I always wanted to fly a crop duster. It's a very exciting gig. I like being alone, so the solitude appeals to me.
Who knows? Maybe that I read everything. I don't prefer one genre or another. I never get tired of reading and I love learning about everything.
Acceptance.
This could take a while. Michael Chabon (I loved the Yiddish Policemen's Union so much that I wished I could go on reading it every day for the rest of my life). A. S. Byatt (Possession was so brilliant. It's the book that convinced me to never become a writer. Believe me that's a good thing). Carol Goodman (I love how her protagonists live mostly in their own heads. I think I can relate to this). Stephen King (he's the only author I know of that has written a series that encompasses every genre there is: fantasy/romance/westerns/sci fi, etc. I named my daughter partly after a Gunslinger). T.S. Eliot (his poetry is scary and sad all at once. The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock is my favorite. It's like three pages long and I had it all memorized at one point). I think that's enough for now.
I like all of Carol Goodman's main characters. They seem similar to me so I put them all together. I love that they do amazing things even though they are shy, timid, and insecure.
Maybe Mark Twain. I definitely agree with his perspective on a lot of topics and I think he's hilarious.
Army Rangers.
Gwyneth, Autumn, Jasmine, Naomi, August, Iliana, Lucas, Byron, Vincent, Estrella, Lilana, Ryan, Karina, Alaina, Bianca, Sabrina.
Landfills
Not getting my A.A. I do NOT want to take Speech EVER AGAIN!!! What was I thinking??
I would like to be raptured!
Try is not a word. Either do it or don't do it. I believe that, so I hope that I am like that! 12:04 a.m. - 2008-12-18 The ex-virgin - 2009-07-05 Wilson's Syndrome - 2009-03-12 Diet Notes - 2009-03-10 Naughty Tree - 2009-02-27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
