Addendum to the Proust Questionnaire
by Durga Chew-Bose
The three tabs I always keep open on my browser
The Drake lyric that most captures my very being
The song I play on repeat when meeting a deadline
The song I play on repeat when I’m getting ready to go out but ultimately end up staying in
The song I listen to when conceiving that scenario; the one where I run into my ex
The people whose phone numbers I have committed to memory
The series finale I watch when I want to whip up feelings of nostalgia for no particular reason
My go-to deli sandwich order
The last thing a man explained to me
A celebrity’s abs I could identify sans face
The last celebrity death that really shook me
The encouraging proverb-like phrase I say to myself before walking out the door and attending an anxiety-inducing party
A movie that everyone loves and that I just don’t get
The quality I appreciate most in the last person I was quick to judge
My least favorite color to wear that everyone insists I should wear more
What I imagine my best friend is doing right now
An item of clothing I love but is least flattering for my body type
The lede in a fictional profile written about me
My phone’s ratio of selfies to non-selfies
My last selfie
My last screenshot
The celebrity I don’t follow on Instagram but whose account I search regularly
The celebrity whose Wiki page’s Personal Life section I’ve committed to memory
The last recurring mass email I unsubscribed from
My favorite turn of phrase to describe pure mirth
My favorite collective noun
My favorite drunk 3 a.m. snack
My second favorite Michael Jackson song
A treasured possession that I recently gave to someone I love
A word I overuse when feigning interest
The quality that I desire most in a fast new friend
The quality that I desire most in a hot regular
The quality that I desire most in my weed dealer
The quality that I desire most in the stranger sitting next to me at a wedding where I know no one
The sentence I would use to characterize my resting face
The last book I read whose cover I judged but whose content I loved
An item of clothing I never returned to a friend
My least favorite party theme
What I regard as the lowest depth of Twitter bio
The most recent fear I’ve confronted
My favorite Rihanna look from 2005–2008
My favorite Rihanna look from 2008–2012
My favorite Rihanna look from 2013
My favorite Rihanna look from 2014
My favorite Rihanna look from 2015
Something I am currently anticipating with a level of excitement singular to childhood delight
My state of mind in a few hours will hopefully be
The last compliment I received
