Complete and utter comprehension of the world and why we exist.

I've been meaning to finally finish Ulysses by James Joyce.
18. What is your favorite food?
Okpa, a steam-cooked bean dumpling from eastern Nigeria.
19. What is your secret guilty pleasure?
Shopping. Chocolate. But I''m not sure who secret or how guilty they are really. Everyone close to me knows how much pleasure both give me, and I own these pleasures!
20. How would you like to be remembered?
As a person who tried to be honest and who tried to be kind—and who often realized the difficulty of being both at the same time.
