WRATH
Who did you last get angry with?
I'm sure it was somehow work-related. Although around the time of the great work stress of the past month, I also got mad at a boy for something unkind he said.
What is your weapon of choice?
Rapier-like wit.
Would you hit a member of the opposite sex?
Yeah, sure. In anger? Probably not.
How about the same sex?
Yeah, sure. Also, not in anger
Who was the last person who got really angry at you?
I'd hazard a guess it was arovd, but I'm not sure it was really angry.
[Amended: upon reflection, I think the last truly angry-on-their-part conversation I had was with Horatio, about fattivist stuff.]
What is your pet peeve?
Poor language choice.
Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
Extremely rarely. Even when justified, I have difficulty staying angry for more than a few days. If you're close enough to make me angry, your good points will quickly override it, and if you don't have strong good points, you probably can't make me angry in the first place.
SLOTH
What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't?
Practice.
What is the latest you've ever woken up?
Having gone to bed at a time that qualifies as the previous night, probably 5pmish.
Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't?
I'd have said Trey, but I just sent him an email like 2 days ago. I previously hadn't talked to him in at least a year, though, so I think it counts.
What is the last lame excuse that you made?
I called in sick a few weeks ago mostly to clean my house and sleep.
Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through?
No, not that I recall.
How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock this morning?
I don't have a snooze button. I have a zen alarm clock. And I didn't set an alarm this morning - I had dogs to leap on me.
GLUTTONY
What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice?
The pineapple "martini" at Maggiano's.
Are you a meat eater?
Pretty much.
What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event?
I think I drank a 750 of vodka, straight, by myself once in college. But that was over at least 24 hours, even if it was all one party.
Are you comfortable with your drinking and eating habits?
Mostly. I could eat less crap.
Do you enjoy candy and sweets?
Yeah, most of the time. I can get too much of them very quickly though.
Which do you prefer: sweets, salty foods or spicy foods?
Probably salty.
Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, "lunch"?
Huh?! No. I might now, though.
GREED
How many credit cards do you own?
Two. One of them isn't used.
If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?
Buy a couple of silly things, pay off debt, then invest with an eye on giving more away.
Would you rather be rich or famous?
Rich.
Would you accept a boring job if it meant that you would make megabucks?
Depends on the alternative. I'd choose megabucks over poverty, but I think I'd choose interesting work over a boring and time-consuming job if the interesting job was still decent pay (and by decent, I mean egregiously overpaid, much as I am today).
PRIDE
What's one thing that you have done that you're most proud of?
Started a dance troupe, I think.
What's one thing you have done that your parents are most proud of?
I think for my mother it's that I started making more money than either of them individually. I'm not sure what my dad's proud of, which is not to say he's not proud - just that it hasn't come off as related to one specific thing in a long time.
What thing would you like to accomplish late in your life?
I'd like to have helped raise some awesome kids (they don't need to be mine). And have made some cool art.
Do you get annoyed by coming in second place?
Not really. That doesn't mean I don't want to come in first.
Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors?
Well, sure. But I think it was a SPELLING BEE. Hmm. Or possibly some sort of intelligence or trivia test at the office. Or those office fitness competitions. So, uh. Apparently I do this all the time. Mostly at work.
Have you ever cheated to get a better score?
Does changing the rules count as cheating? Cause I think rules are flexible.
What did you do today that you're proud of?
I took care of the cats before myself when I got home today. I was very tired and hungry, but they hadn't seen me in a week.
LUST
How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies, family, strippers, locker rooms)?
A fair number. I go to Pennsic. I was an artist's model.
How many people have seen you naked (not counting physicians, locker rooms, or when you were a child)?
Ditto.
Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a person during a normal conversation?
Chest, absolutely. BOOBIES! Also, I stare at people's hands lustfully. I get all hot for hands. And? I get to hang out with musicians every week. People who make art with their hands! My life is awesome.
What is your favorite body part of a person of your gender choice?
Yes. No. I don't know. It's a very individualized thing. A specific person will definitely have a body part that jumps out at me - it's just rarely the same one. I do like hands, as mentioned.
Have you ever had sexual encounters (including kissing/making out) with multiple persons?
The exact intent of this questions confuses me, but I've been simultaneously making out or fooling around with 2 or more people at the same time.
Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?
No.
ENVY
What item of your friends' would you most want to have for your own?
My friends have fantastic stuff. Do I have to just pick one? If so, volondoinyaface, have y'all bought a house yet? Cause then I'd want that. They live in Hawai'i.
Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with?
I really don't want to redecorate someone else's house.
If you could be anyone who existed in the world, who would you be?
I'd kinda like to stay me. It would be fun to temporarily try on my friends' lives, freakyfriday-style.
Have you ever been cheated on?
No, not really. I have mildly cheated on others, and it felt awful.
Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own?
Hell yeah. Like, a chin. Or someone else's arms.
What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself?
I don't think traits are entirely inborn. That aside, I could stand to be more outgoing and ambitious.
WHAT DEADLY SIN...
Do you do the most often?
Maybe envy? Or maybe sloth.
Do you do the least often?
I think gluttony.
Is your favorite to act on?
Lust. Or sloth. Both are nice.
