darcydodoI'm very confused; there was a cool-looking meme I'm sure I saw on my friends list earlier today when I didn't have a chance to replicate it, and now it's gone. And I can't remember what it was or who had it. Instead, I guess I'll do the seven deadly sins meme.
ANGER
1. Who did you last get angry with? Hmm. Seeing as how the top-ranking person on the list of people I do get angry with is my mother, it was probably she. Though I get angry with myself, too, so possibly myself.
2. What is your weapon of choice? Longbow.
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Punch on the arm, sure.
4. How about of the same sex? Ditto.
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? Almost certainly my mother, since I never can get really angry at myself. :)
6. What is your pet peeve? People who act far more childish than they ought. I'm sure I have others.
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? Fly, fly, my pretties!
SLOTH
1. What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't done in a long time? Err. Would that include things like German homework, of which I did a massive pile this morning because I hadn't done it in so very long?
2. What is the latest you've ever woken up? Approximately 2 or 3 in the afternoon, on the assumption that we're not talking post-nap here.
3. Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't: Amelia (Dowler). Bad self, bad. (Hopefully![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
c_iulius was able to greet her for me, though.)
4. What is the last lame excuse you made? Trying to explain my B in Leslie's class to the third year review committee. And they were so nice about it, too.
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones)?: No way.
6. When was the last time you got a good workout in?: When I went to the gym a few weeks ago. And even that wasn't a good workout. Umm... France. Biking 40 miles in a day.
7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today?: None. I dare not use it, for I sleep through it the second time, invariably.
GLUTTONY
1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? Whole Foods chai. Next on list: Starbucks' caramel apple cider
2. Meat eater? Certainly.
3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event? Uhhh. I lost track. ;) But... lots of wine, plus etc., at G&S dinners, exempli gratia.
4. Have you ever used a professional diet company?: So very no.
5. Do you have an issue with your weight? If I were in good shape, I would be about ten pounds lighter. Beyond that, no.
6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods?: Not salty, just savory. Which can include salty and spicy. Which isn't to say that I don't love sweets, too!
7. Have you ever looked at a small housepet or child and thought: "LUNCH"? *ponders* Well, not precisely, but the first time I ever saw rabbit listed on a menu, I said to my mother, "Oh boy, bunny rabbit!" I was perhaps five or six at the time. ;)
LUST
1. How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)?: Two, and it was very dark in one case.
2. How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)?: Ditto, I'm thinking.
3. Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation?: Not during conversation, no.
4. Have you "done it"?: Yar.
5. What is your favourite body part on a person of your gender of choice? This is always such a silly question. Hands, eyes, lips... it depends on the person, for a start!
6. Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?: No. Not unless a lot of those guys in France were actually prostitutes, which I somehow doubt. ;)
7. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy?: Nope.
AVARICE
1. How many credit cards do you own? Zero, zippo, zilch, though I do have a copy of my parents'.
2. What's your guilty pleasure store? Huh. No clue. I tend not to go into stores much, but perhaps the Cheese Board could count. I think this should be under Gluttony, then, though. :) Maybe Crate & Barrel, or Smith & Hawkens, or something, but I don't actually shop there. I just drool over the catalogues. Based on my answer to the next question, perhaps Seekers, the glass store in Cambria.
3. If you had $1 million, what would you do with it? On the assumption that I wouldn't invest it, because that makes this question boring, I'd possibly buy myself some dragon statues from Windstone, and I'd definitely buy myself LOTS of glass blown by Sue Ellen Fowler. Dragons, lizards, cedar waxwings.... *drools lots* If I had money left over (those glass pieces are expensive!) I'd buy things for other people.
4. Would you rather be rich, or famous? Rich, definitely, so that I could do the aforementioned buying, and besides, I don't like people focusing on me. Though I do like people praising me. :)
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks? No idea. Depends if it were something that needed motivation or not. If the former, probably not, 'cause I rarely can motivate myself to do boring things.
6. Have you ever stolen anything? Pirated software. Other than that, no.
7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive? Lotses. Probably over 1,000, based on the number of files in my music folder.
PRIDE
1. What one thing have you done that you're most proud of? I really don't know. Got into Chamber Chorus, maybe. But then I ungot into Chamber Chorus, so I'm not sure that counts. ;)
2. What one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of? Huh. Gone to Oxford, maybe?
3. What thing would you like to accomplish in your life? Be an opera singer. Get my PhD. Get motivation from somewhere. Hmm.
4. Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? If I feel that I ought to have come in first, yes. If not, then I just feel pleased. :)
5. Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors? Do mythology exams count? Advanced level only narrows the competition so far. ;)
6. Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score? I think I cheated on one PSAT question by going back and changing my answer after the break, but given that it was bubbles, I could have gotten the wrong line, too. :)
7. What did you do today that you're proud of? Rien du tout.
ENVY
1. What item (or person) of your friends would you most want to have for your own? Don't know if this counts, but my father's friend Jackie had a beautiful mosaic up on his wall that I really wanted.
2. Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? And then ask if I'd want to go on "Trading Spaces."
3. If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be? Hmm. Maybe the mezzosoprano who sang the Handel piece at the Proms.
4. Have you ever been cheated on?: Kind of, not exactly.
5. Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own?: I'd like a thinner waist and fewer randomly appearing pimples.
6. What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? Organization. Hah.
7. Do you wish you'd come up with this survey? No, you arrogant git. ;)
FAITH
1. What religion do you follow? I am Jewish, but not religiously so. On the other hand, because it's cultural for me, too, I celebrate some Jewish holidays and very occasionally go to shul.
2. What religion were you raised as? See above.
3. Do you believe that forgiveness is a religious property, or a human property? Human. So definitely. I think this whole "goodness depends on religion" bullshit is, well, bullshit.
4. Do you believe in magic? I'd like there to be magic. I've never seen any evidence of it, though. Logically, I figure it's at least as likely as an omnipotent, omniscient Creator-figure, if not more so.
5. What was the last promise you broke? I told someone I'd get a fic in by the evening of the deadline. I so lied.
6. Have you ever said the words to a prayer and not meant it? Never said a prayer, except for when I was little and went through a brief phase of wanting to say the "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer before I went to bed. My mom said she did the same. ;) But as to whether I meant it, I don't think that has anything not to mean. I can see not meaning prayer if we're talking an old-style Greek εὖχοϲ (and that really didn't come out just now, did it? Unicode has a long way to go on the web, I must say. Sans accents/breathings, it was: ευχος)
7. Do you believe that anyone could be perfect? I don't think that perfect can be defined in the first place. I suppose someone could conceivably be perfect in the eyes of someone else. Possibly.
ANGER
1. Who did you last get angry with? Hmm. Seeing as how the top-ranking person on the list of people I do get angry with is my mother, it was probably she. Though I get angry with myself, too, so possibly myself.
