Is there a Destination (geographic and/or chronological) you're interested in visiting? Tell us where, when, and why.

At Retro, we always say that "everyone is nostalgic." What are YOU nostalgic for?

Are there any memories you're running from?

Are you someone who lives without regret? Or are you more inclined to spend your nights worrying over how you've passed your days?

Do any of the following conditions or environments make you anxious: heights; crowds; small, enclosed spaces; vast, empty spaces far from civilization as you know it; darkness (as in the literal absence of light, not the spiritual "darkness" one can sometimes feel); extreme heat or cold; sirens; a general sense of lawlessness?

How punctual are you? How personally do you take the tardiness of others?

Is there a scent you associate with your most treasured memory? Please describe it for us (just the scent, not the memory it evokes).

Have you ever committed a violent crime? If so, and the altercation could be perceived to have had a "winner" and a "loser," which were you?

How good are you at pretending to be someone you're not? Do you ever find yourself pretending without even meaning to?

How often do you feel the need to communicate with your friends and family members? Could you be out of touch with them for any extended period of time without causing upset or alarm? Do you secretly wish you could speak to them less than you currently do?

Do you excel at or at least possess a passing knowledge of any of the following: archery; marksmanship (if so, please list which firearms you've used); calligraphy; dancing (if so please specify, e.g.: ballroom, waltz, square, swing, Macarena); horseback riding; driving (stick-shift); driving (automatic transmission); boating (please list the types of boats you can comfortably captain, e.g.: sail, row, canoe, motor); fire-building; field-dressing an animal; first aid; swimming; prayer?

What is the oldest technology with which you are currently acquainted? (e.g. Can you make a mixtape? Burn a CD? Or only make a playlist? Could you operate a Victrola?)

What's the longest you can go without looking at your phone? Do you think you would be happier without it?

What's the last secret you kept? How long did you keep it? Do you keep it still?
