Seven Deadly Sins
From
Geek Savant via
Kolibri.
WRATH
1. Who did you last get angry with?
Really, actually angry? I really can't remember. I'm more into irritation and tetchiness than your actual anger.
2. What is your weapon of choice?
Whatever is to hand than I can use.
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex?
Depends on the circumstances, namely self-defence.
4. How about of the same sex?
I guess so, but it would probably be so ineffectual it wouldn't be worth it. Unless I was in some fashion armed, of course.
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you?
I have absolutely no idea.
6. What is your pet peeve?
I have so many of them...
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
I don't recall ever holding any grudges.
SLOTH
1. What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't done in a long time?
This would probably be exercise.
2. What is the latest you've ever woken up?
About six in the afternoon/evening. But then, I had had a looong day before that, getting up early to get the train to Edinburgh and staying up till past four in the morning at the Goth Valentine's Day Heart Of Darkness thing last year.
3. Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't.
My old school and university friend Sean, who I really should meet up with sometime soon.
4. What is the last lame excuse you made?
I don't know.
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones...)?
Not at all.
6. When was the last time you got a good workout?
Wednesday, if you count almost-drowning (what some call swimming).
7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today?
I don't, I just drowse through it.
GLUTTONY
1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice?
Probably some sort of vodka ice thing.
2. Meat eaters: white meat or dark meat?
I think I'd tend towards dark.
3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event?
I'm not really sure. Possibly a couple of pints and a number of odd cocktail creations at Sean's stag outing last year.
4. Have you ever used a professional diet company?
Nope.
5. Do you have an issue with your weight?
Yes, I have a bit too much of it.
6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy food?
I don't put (more) salt on food anymore, but I'd probably choose to have a spicy meal over a 'normal' one with a dessert. I'm not sure that answers the question at all.
7. Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, !LUNCH!"?
Er... no.
LUST
1. How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)?
If you count the lapdancers last year, I guess close to a dozen. Exciting, eh?
2. How many people have seen YOU naked?
Less than the above number.
3. Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation?
I imagine so. I'm a (kind of) normal person, after all.
4. Have you "done it"?
Yes.
5. What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice?
Once you get past answers like "I like the whole package" and "tits and ass, man!" there is a lot to to be said for a well-shaped body topped by a happy expression.
6. Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?
Some very skanky lasses made a very clumsy proposition to a whole bunch of us on the frequently-mentioned stag outing, so I guess that counts.
7. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy?
No.
GREED
1. How many credit cards do you own?
Two, but I only use one of them. I always pay it off completely every time the bill comes in too.
2. What's your guilty pleasure store?
I don't really think I have one. I'm sad that way.
3. If you had $1 million, what would you do with it?
Try not to spend too much so I could live on the interest and not work.
4. Would you rather be rich, or famous?
Rich. Being famous can require more work.
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks?
Depends on the job and how boring it is.
6. Have you ever stolen anything?
Nothing on consequence.
7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive?
About 2200, roughly. Most of those are ripped from my own CDs though, to go on my MP3 player.
PRIDE
1. What one thing have you done that you're most proud of?
About the only thing that falls into this category is managing, against all odds, to actually get a degree. That and holding onto my job when I don't really care about it.
2. What one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of?
Degree again, probably.
3. What thing would you like to accomplish in your life?
Be rich so I don't have to work. And be truly in love with someone.
4. Do you get annoyed by coming in second place?
If it's something important to me, yes.
5. Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors?
No.
6. Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score?
Only computer games, when they've been too damn hard.
7. What did you do today that you're proud of?
Bothered to get up for work.
ENVY
1. What item (or person) of your friend's would you most want to have for your own?
Bigger TV? Something dull and material like that probably.
2. Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces"?
I don't know what that is.
3. If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be?
Everyone has their problems, why swap yours for someone elses'?
4. Have you ever been cheated on?
No.
5. Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own?
Yes. Quite a few. I'm no different from everyone else in that regard.
6. What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself ?
Socialbility.
7. Do you wish you'd come up with this survey?
Not really.
8. Finally, what is your favorite deadly sin?
It's a very close tie between
Sloth,
Gluttony and
Lust. More of a dead heat really.
