do I know me do you know you

I don't know what to think about all these questions people ask and other people respond to, you find them in all kind of magazines, for instance in the Americain Vanity Fair where at the back page you always have a "noteworthy person answering a series of personal questions".

I am always impressed what people know about themselves. Especially because the answers always seem to be given so spontaneously. Well, evidently, people think about first, but still, there are some questions about things I never thought about, but now I want to know about myself and about you.
It's kind of a game I once played with my big boss staying in Florence for a fashion show, we were assisting to a fitting and therefore didn't have much to do, so he started the game asking me about my 5 favorite films, then about my five favorite bands, then about my 5 favorite books; and actually I realised that these are quite banal things you might think about every day, but I couldn't answer immediately...

The most famous and legendary version of this game is for sure the "Proust questionnaire" named after Marcel Proust and his answers: he had discovered these questions as a young boy in a classmade's confession album called "album to record thoughts, feelings, etc." and aswered them more than once in his life to learn about himself.

Today I gonna start to write my own album and I will start this by answering the questions.
