'V'ROUST Questionnaire - A Brief Survey


Getting to Know You or What are You Willing to Admit?

**UPDATE**  Three is definitely more than two but significantly less than the stats imply…mr. V is declaring victory.  I will not go down without a fight!   I know you are dying to tell me your deep dark reality star obsession.  I am not above begging…Tomorrow I will share mine!


I desperately need your help.  Bragging rights and vanity are at stake.  mr. V argues that stats lie and only a few real live people are probably reading Chez V.  I argue that surely there are more than a few humans, of real flesh and blood other than my sister and Kassey visiting each and every day.  So do sister a favor, if you are real, I would love to hear more about you.  But more important, because I am vain and competitive, I would love to win this bet.

Here is my on-the-fly condensed version of the ever popular Proust Questionnaire with a decidely Chez V slant.  Take a moment to reveal your true self.  I dare ya.  



Don’t judge about the sketch.  I did this two minutes ago with only the back of a shopping list and crayons at my disposal.


Leave me your answers via the comments.  Love your hair, voted for you!

kisses,  mrs. V

    1. perfect beverage: ice cold diet coke
    2. fave fictional character: Ziva (NCIS)--I want to be her
    3. most marked characteristic: physical--my eyes; non-physical--brutal honesty
    4. trait I most adore in myself: I'm a good problem-solver
    5. occasion that makes me lie: when I'm running late (seems like always) I will grossly underestimate how far away I really am
    6. how others would describe my laugh: big and contagious
    7. tv show on repeat: Snapped
    8. movie I love: Dumb and Dumber--and I'm not embarrassed to admit it, even though I should be
    9. reality star I wish to be: Kim Kardashian (for mostly shallow reasons)
    10. talent: I think I have a real talent for inventing words, but others definitely disagree (I have a couple that I continue to use on a regular basis hoping they will eventually catch on)

    Wen - I can attest to your brutal honesty (one of the things I adore and count on from you) and your gorgeous eyes! BTW - you available for cocktails next Thursday evening? The Highlands somewhere...I will be in town briefly.

    Darn!!! I would love to meet you for cocktails, but I have class on Thursday nights...and I have a test that night so I can't skip. Boo! Class runs until 9:30, so if you're going to be out late, let me know.

    By the way, we need to plan a 40th b-day shindig...Herbi and David have asked about it multiple times. Guess they're looking for an excuse to get away :)

    @Karen - Jasper Fforde is among my favorites. I call Pieti Lola Vavoom on occasion for no particular reason other than I love the sound of it...

    @Horan - don't sell yourself short, you are very crafty.

    @Court - glad that I have had the good fortune to hear that rare thing...
