But - this is great, and I must say I concur with many of your answers, Mis. Your motto is brilliant.

To love and be loved 24/7 by a real woman.
Which living person do you most admire?
Bishop Richard Williamson of the SSPX.
What is your greatest fear?
Dying out of a state of grace.
What is your favorite journey?
Any journey where I don't have to do the driving. Maybe a plane flight where I get to see things from God's perspective. Those amazing clouds He walks upon, and why after He'd created the world, He just said, 'And it was good.' And then took Sunday off?
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Liberality. People posing as charitable by giving of their excess rather than giving their time or life-blood.
What is your greatest extravagance?
My lifestyle? Alcohol, tobacco and brothels.
What/Who is the greatest love of your life?
The female form (exterior mainly, but some women have okay interiors?). Oh, and onanism.
Which talent would you most like to have?
The ability to compose and play music so I could turn all my poetry into song, make shitloads of money, then go on heroin?
What is your current state of mind?
Here's my psych's contact number? My general state of mind is one of loneliness and inquiry, as in, am I that detestable? Or is it just God's way of filling up his empty cup of willing suffering?
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Abandonment by friends and/or family. To be so misunderstood.
What qualities do you most like in others?
Compassion first and foremost. Then wit. And loose women.
How would you like to die?
As a martyr. Sticking it up everyone. And continuing to preach about the love of God after my head is chopped off (for a minimum of three days).
What is your motto?
Work physically hard, and never not go to work. It makes men out of boys.
