Hello,
I don't know what point you are at in our little ' game affair' . As for me I am the standard protocol they have set up here. They started last week at which point I received a message from another subscriber. ( does that remind you of anything ? ) Then I was rather suprised to receive a questionnaire that looks at cinema, music and art. Here is a sample of the kind of questions asked :
' Are you fond of strange environments?
- Do you watch films that contain a sexuel undertone?
- What art forms interest you?
- In the field of architecture, do you prefer the Guggenheim,
Bilbao, or Le Corbusier's buildings ?
- Is temporary solitude something that stimulates creation ?
- Do you like films which, for the most part, are broadcast at night ?
-
I thought I had told them everything about me, but apparently it wasn't enough.
I shudder at the thought of what lies ahead for me, for us. If all that is about defining who I am, I think I am going to have some fun, in my universe, in their game.
What about you ?
See you
H.
