Hello! My name is Ashley, welcome to my blog! This blog is a result of my English 100 class. We will have many blog posts in this class but the first post we are going to touch base on is The Proust questionnaire. This questionnaire was written by a novelist who goes by the name of, you guessed it, Marcel Proust. Proust believes that in answering these 35 crafty questions, you reveal your true self. We are going to answer these questions and see if we can reveal my personality! This assignment was very enjoyable to do, check it out for yourself and see what you think! __1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness?
My Idea of perfect happiness is waking up with a family, my family, with a house full of nothing but love, laughs and pure joy. Having a stable life and family is my idea of perfect happiness. __2.__What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is not getting full custody of my daughter in court, I don't know where I would be without that girl and I know her best life would be spent with me full time. Basically, losing my family all together, losing something I have waited for, for so long and have finally acquired. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? My need to always be right, I can never admit when I'm wrong in a situation and just apologize. I always have to have the last word. It is something I am working on as of right now in my life. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? Selfishness or not being able to reciprocate actions. There are a lot of selfish people in my life and it is something that really gets under my skin. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? My mother, She has done everything for me. When she had nothing I still had everything I ever needed or wanted. She also taught me how to be the mother I am today and continues to do so everyday. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance is probably getting my hair done. It's not necessarily a need but more of a want. It makes me feel better about myself! __7.__What is your current state of mind? I am in a good state of mind right now, it could be better but I have a lot of emotional issues I need to correct within myself. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I believe diligence. I feel as though a lot of good work unnoticed and under appreciated even if you worked your butt off. In my head I feel like if my hard work is going unnoticed what is the point in doing my best every single time. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I don’t usually ever lie, I tell it how it is, no matter how bad it is. I will occasionally tell a white lie to my parents if it benefits me but that's all! __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? My body, It's been an issue for me ever since I was about 8 years old. I've always had body image issues and to this day they still haven't completely faded. __11.__Which living person do you most despise? My biological father. I never want to see him, speak to him, or even come close to saying his name ever again. He is dead to me. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? A good sense of humor and good personality. A man who can match my humor and come back at me with something twice as funny. __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? Someone who is a good listener, a good friend and can offer support when needed. Someone who will let you vent to them and give you honest advice on your situation. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? My vocabulary is mostly swear words, I curse like a sailor. My main phrase is usually “Are you Fu**ing kidding me” __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? The greatest love of my life is my daughter and my boyfriend. I cannot pick between them because they are my family and the source of all my happiness. __16.__When and where were you happiest? I am my happiest right now. The life I have been living makes me extremely happy. I am advancing for my family, and am working my ass off to achieve all my goals. Everything I am doing at this moment is what I have been waiting for. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? I would love to be able to sing, I am good with crowds, I have good energy and would have a lot of fun with it, I just don’t have the vocals. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My temper, I tend to speak before I think and lash out without thinking of the consequences of my words. This is also something I have been working on. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? My greatest achievement right now is getting my life together, going back to school, saving money and not going out as much as I used to. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I would want to come back as a mermaid. Everyone questioning whether I am real or mythological while I am swimming around peacefully living my best life. I also love the ocean and swimming so it fits. __21.__Where would you most like to live? I would like to live in North or South Carolina, away from my hometown but close enough to a beach. It is also close enough to visit family when I want to but not close enough for everyone to stop by all the time. Just enough distance! __22.__What is your most treasured possession? My most treasured possession is my promise ring from my boyfriend. It was a Christmas present from him and he vowed to replace it with an engagement ring one day. That to me is something I will never forget, it keeps me sane looking at it and knowing that I have a future with the love of my life! __23.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? I think the lowest depth of misery is accepting awful things that happen to you as normal when they shouldn’t be happening in the first place, basically just accepting the bad as normal. __24.__What is your favorite occupation? My favorite occupation is a Surgeon, you get to save lives, or at least attempt to. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication which I like a lot. I also love an occupation that always keeps you busy and moving. __25.__What is your most marked characteristic? Anger for sure. I have tells when I am angry and its obvious. My face, tone of voice and body language get all out of whack when I am angry! __26.__What do you most value in your friends? Trust. Honesty is a big thing to me! I want to be able to tell my friends a secret and know that it won’t be told to everyone. __27.__Who are your favorite writers? I'm going to be honest, I don’t read books as much as I should but when I do I am a huge fan of Stephen King. I am a huge horror person when it comes to books and movies. I have read a few of his books and have seen most of his movies. He writes with depth and visuals and that is something I admire in a writer. __28.__Who is your hero of fiction? Meredith Grey because she always has a lot going on and she always gets through it. She dedicates her life to her friends, her job and her family. She is independent and just an all around bad ass. __29.__Which historical figure do you most identify with? Edith Cavell. She was sentenced to death and still went out of her way to help others in need of her assistance __30.__Who are your heroes in real life? My mom, dad, and my boyfriend all for different reasons. My mom is a cop, she is one of the most loving, caring and supporting people I know. My dad took me in when no one else did even when he didn't have to; my boyfriend is there for me every step of the way through my daily life and took me out of a very dark place. __31.__What are your favorite names? My favorite name is the name Jordan. It can be used with both genders and my next child boy or girl will have the name Jordan. __32.__What is it that you most dislike? I most dislike liars. Mostly because I am way to understanding of a person for anyone to ever feel the need to lie to me. I understand that things happen and I can usually hear someone out but when I am lied to I no longer can trust that person. __33.__What is your greatest regret? My greatest regret is taking my life down a bad path, and not only did I chose that bad path I accepted my life for what it was at the time and convinced myself I wouldn't come back from it. I finally changed myself, that path is in my past and will never be traveled again. __34.__How would you like to die? I would like to die quick and gracefully. I don’t want to die all bloody and messy. If I died I would like for my friends and family to be able to see me one last time at my funeral in a nice peaceful ending. __35.__What is your motto? Simple. You get what you give in life, you receive the good and bad that you dish out.

I agree with you ranking spacial as the most important! Looking at a messy unorganized website is difficult and doesn't make me interested. Btw, I really loved your letter to yourself :) it was super inspiring.
