tzikeh
WRATH
Who did you last get angry with?
Thomas, because of something he said in Apaplexy.
What is your weapon of choice?
Swords at dawn. I'm a romantic.
Would you hit a member of the opposite sex?
Yes. I have done so. I am not proud of it: I want to practise ahimsa, total non-violence. I did it with permission, but still I hit him. I didn't hurt him at all, but that doesn't excuse it.
How about of the same sex?
Gender doesn't make a difference, but no, I've never hit a woman.
Who was the last person that got really angry at you?
maboroshimaki
What is your pet peeve?
That cars have taken over our physical world and have made it less beautiful.
Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
What's a grudge? The word implies pettiness. I seldom get angry, but when I do, the anger remains for a long time. Does that make it a grudge?
SLOTH
What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't done in a long time?
Dance.
What is the latest you've ever woken up?
I have no idea. Eleven? Noon? I once slept a day through - I was unconscious with jet lag. Does that count?
What is the last lame excuse you've made?
"I can do it tomorrow."
Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through?
No. I've never even watched a part of one.
When was the last time you got a good workout in?
About two hours ago.
How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today?
I have never used the snooze button on my alarm clock in the whole of my life. Well, actually, once I hit it by accident when I was cleaning.
GLUTTONY
What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice?
Caramel mochiatta. I think I spelled it wrong.
White meat or dark meat?
As usual, when faced with a choice of one thing or the other, I want both.
What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event?
I once had more than two margaritas in the same evening when I was visitng my Chicago friends.
Have you ever used a professional diet company?
No.
Do you have an issue with your weight?
Yes.
Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods?
Salty foods. No question.
Have you ever taken food "to go" from a buffet?
Um... an apple at a breakfast buffet in December.
LUST
How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)?
Not nearly enough.
How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)?
Not nearly enough.
Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation?
Uh... can't say I have.
Have you wanted someone who was taken?
Often.
What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice?
Depends on the person. In men, I like large noses. In women... I go more for the eyes. But it's different with every single person. I don't have a favourite body part for either gender. Hands are always nice, and ears, and legs - stop me before I list all the body parts there are.
Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?
Yes. Well, maybe she wasn't a prostitute. I wasn't sure. It was in New York, where people can be odd.
Have you ever had a one night stand?
No.
GREED
How many credit cards do you own?
About ten.
What's your guilty pleasure?
Ice cream.
If you had $1 million, what would you do with it?
Oh, the usual.
Would you rather be rich or famous?
Depends on what I was famous for, and in what way. If it was for going some great good to the world, or for writing things that people loved, I'd chose fame.
Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks?
No. Well, to be honest, it depends. Maybe.
Have you ever stolen anything?
No. Not since I was a young kid, anyway.
How many mp3's are on your hard drive?
I've never counted them.
PRIDE
What's one thing have you done that you're most proud of?
Winning a Huggy Award as "Best Writer - The Professionals". Or for "Best Novel - Forever True".
What's one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of?
Exist.
What thing would you like to accomplish in your life?
Writing the things I want to write.
Do you get annoyed by coming in second place?
No.
Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors?
Um... I really don't know. Probably not. I tend to avoid contests.
Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score?
No.
What did you do today that you're proud of?
A level 2 yoga class.
ENVY
What item of your friend's would you most want to have for your own?
Really, I like my own stuff.
If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be?
Mary Shelley. Or Jane Williams, maybe.
Have you ever been cheated on?
Yes.
Have you ever cheated on someone?
No.
Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own?
Yes.
What trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself?
Courage. Patience.
What is your favorite deadly sin?
Lust. No question.
