When I get my Vanity Fair each month in the mailbox, I immediately flip to the back to read which celebrity/icon is taking the Proust Questionaire, and then I flip to the "My Dream" and "My Stuff" columns in Fanfair. I love seeing the who, what , when, where, why , & how certain people view the world. Well, I decided to do it myself and blog about it. I think it might be a good topic for other bloggers as well. It clearly makes you think of what is important. So, the next couple of blogs will be personal, and I hope you enjoy reading. If you all post or do the questionaires/surveys yourself, leave me a link to read! Ciao.
