The Proust Questionnaire Part I

I just don't think that a book whose first sentence is 20 pages long is for me.

~Lorelai Gilmore Gilmore Girls in the episode "Paris is Burning" (1.11)

My favorite television character and role-model, has said it best. I will not be reading Marcel Proust anytime soon (no, I don't want to borrow your copy of Swann's Way), but I do think this Proust Questionnarie thing is a fun idea for a party!

And, if you want to go all out sign up at Proust.com...enjoy!

My need to watch television, movies and play on the computer

PS. I am too sick to write anything else...I hate being sick and more than that I hate being sick and not being able to sleep...maybe I'll just go into town and buy some Theraflu...
