Proust Questionnaire

So i'm not the greatest conversationalist when it comes to meeting new people.  Its hard for me to pull questions out of the air to ask that aren't just small talk. Small talk is good, but its just that, small talk. So in an attempt to find a list of questions that won't lead to small talk, I came across the Proust Questionnaire....

I remember vaguely James Lipton having his own version off the Proust Questionnaire that he uses in Inside the Actor's Studio. If its good enough for James Lipton & his celebrity guests, its good enough for me. So here are my answers to the original Proust Questionnaire...first take at least...
