Addendum to the Proust Questionnaire, Pt. 2
by Durga Chew-Bose
My dream celebrity group text, dead or alive
The last task I abandoned impulsively, without scruples or delayed apology
The last person’s shoulder I rested my head on
The last thing I painstakingly handled with care
Something I regularly toss
The quality I desire most in my work wife/husband
In the throes of summer, AC or ceiling fan
At my lowest, I treat myself to
At my most broke, I treat myself to
The person I imagine arriving late to my funeral, slyly sneaking in, and sitting in the last row
The friend I am likely texting, emailing, gchatting, and @-ing on Instagram, all at once
I feel most beautiful during which season
A book I never finished reading
The disambiguation of my name on Wikipedia would yield the following results
My emergency contact
The last person who gave me flowers
The quality I most desire in a chair
The quality I most desire in a diner
The quality I most desire in a denim jacket
A celebrity beef that sent me spiraling into an existential crisis
The texture that most recalls my childhood
The last time I felt “young”
When and where was I last restless
Which gesture of mine invariably reveals my restlessness
A gif that could double as my email signature
The most intuitive autocorrect I’ve experienced
A word I always, without fail, misspell
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word “pink”
A promise I keep making and breaking
My idea of perfect happiness at 7pm on a Friday in July
