Sins

From the Kwizgiver who is linked in the column to the left

Wrath
Who did you last get angry with? Hey! I haven't been angry all day today! Wow--see what NOT going to work does for me!? Face to face, the last person I was irritated with was Sparky over the weekend. Last Thursday night I was furious with The Schedule Nazi.

What is your weapon of choice? My brain. And when things really go to hell, tears.

Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Uhm, for real? No. But I slug Beast all the time when he's particularly annoying and pesky, in the arm.

How about the same sex? I have. I wouldn't do it in anger, however, not unless grievously provoked.

Who was the last person who got really angry at you? That I know of? Beast, probably. Or Sparky.

What is your pet peeve? Intentional stupidity that overflows into other peoples' lives.

Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? I have a long memory, but I am able to set things aside unless the same sorts of behavior keep cropping up. If it's a pattern, I'm not going to let it go.


Sloth
What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't? Today? I'm not sure I brushed my teeth this morning, actually.... [hey, I've been home all day!]

What is the latest you've ever woken up? I think I have made it to noon, but not recently, and I recall being completely discombobulated most of the afternoon. Screwed me up for another day or two as well.

Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't? Everyone I know! I'll go with Dean, my brother-in-law.

What is the last lame excuse that you made? All my excuses sound lame to me. "I'm busy" is the most frequently used.

Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through? Gaaah. No.

How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock this morning? Don't think I did at all this morning, I just let the radio play while I woke up.


Gluttony
What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? If bottled water counts, that's it. If not...uh...it would have to be caramel apple cider at Starbucks since that's the only overpriced yuppie beverage place I ever visit.

Are you a meat eater? Yes. Ahem.

What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting -outing -event? I had 12 of those little plastic glasses of champagne at midnight one Saturday in college, after...some other stuff much earlier in the night. And I drank those 12 glasses in about 20 minutes. Fuckme. I was gone for several hours that morning (as in blacked out). The only other time I was anywhere near that drunk was on several shots of Peppermint Schnapps. I can't drink cheap champagne or schnapps (or use Scope), or even SMELL them, anymore. Gag.

Are you comfortable with your drinking and eating habits? Drinking, yes. Eating...not really, but I don't care enough to work on 'em.

Do you enjoy candy and sweets? Is the Pope Catholic?

Which do you prefer: sweets, salty foods or spicy food? Sweets. Then crunchy. I'm aware that's not on the list, but I don't care for salty stuff UNLESS it's crunchy.

Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, "lunch"? Lunch for someone if they were pesky, yes.


Greed
How many credit cards do you own? One credit (zero balance), one debit.

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? In order by approx. amount: pay taxes, invest/pay off the house, give away...

Would you rather be rich or famous? Of those two choices, rich. I have NO desire to be famous, none whatsoever.

Would you accept a boring job if it meant that you would make megabucks? No. Well....how boring?? What would constitute boring? My job can be tedious, but that's some of the part I enjoy. Yes. I'm weird. Move on.


Pride
What's one thing that you have done that you're most proud of? There's not a lot I can think of that I have done completely by myself recently. However, I will say that my grades throughout school were a pretty damn good achievement, and the fact that I have stuck with some rather untenable workplace situations is up there. If I could include "joint projects" the answer would be a tie between my marriage and my son.

What's one thing you have done that your parents are most proud of? No idea. Probably staying married, but I really have no earthly idea. Not something that has ever been, or is likely to be, mentioned by my mother.

What thing would you like to accomplish late in your life? Dignity.

Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? Yes. It's why I rarely actively agree to compete in public.

Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors? Well...yeah! Of course.

Have you ever cheated to get a better score? Only in solitaire.

What did you do today that you're proud of? Spent only $55 on Amazon instead of the hundreds of dollars I'd prefer to have dropped. ;-)


Lust
How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies, family, strippers, locker rooms)? Well. Uh, that eliminates virtually everyone I've seen naked. Several actors, and some "actors."

How many people have seen you naked (not counting physicians, doctors, family, locker rooms, or when you were a young child)? That list is it, as far as I know.

Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a person of your chosen sex during a normal conversation? What's "normal"? Sure, I guess. Maybe. Sure.

What is your favorite body part of a person of your gender choice? ...I'm going to pass on this. Thanks for asking.

Have you ever had sexual encounters (including kissing/making out) with multiple persons? At the same time? Nope. Thanks, again, for asking. Move on.

Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute? Uh, not that I'm aware of. I'm not sure I'd know, truthfully, unless it was 100% overt.


Envy
What item of your friends would you most want to have for your own? Some furniture. Some self-control. It sort of depends on the friends in question.

Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? We have joked with J & L about doing this, but I'd hate to lose a friendship over it.

If you could be anyone who existed in the world, who would you be? myself is fine...I've got that sorted out (most days)

Have you ever been cheated on? Yeah....

Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own? Of course! Haven't we all be teenagers!? Sometimes, still.

What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? A better eye for decor.


What deadly sin...
Do you do the most often? gluttony, maybe wrath

Do you do the least often? Envy
