The Supermarket of Love

The French Blonde was recently asked to fill out a questionnaire by a gentleman from the Supermarket of Love.

The FB likes nothing more than filling out questionnaires, especially if they are interesting. As a child, she used to take great pleasure in filling out bubbles on standardized tests with a number two pencil, though the pleasure wore thin by high school.

This questionnaire was written by the artist Sophie Calle.  The FB filled it out in its French version, which seems more elegantly written, but here is the English translation:

1. When did you last die?
2. What gets you out of bed in the morning?
3. What became of your childhood dreams?
4. What sets you apart from everyone else?
5. What is missing from your life?
6. Do you think that everyone can be an artist?
7. Where do you come from?
8. Do you find your lot an enviable one?
9. What have you given up?
10. What do you do with your money?
11. What household task gives you the most trouble?
12. What are your favourite pleasures?
13. What would you like to receive for your birthday?
14. Cite three living artists whom you detest.
15. What do you stick up for?
16. What are you capable of refusing?
17. What is the most fragile part of your body?
18. What has love made you capable of doing?
19. What do other people reproach you for?
20. What does art do for you?
21. Write your epitaph.
22. In what form would you like to return?
