gwynI can't seem to get focused on anything lately. So while I putz around with pieces of things, I'm feeling memeish and am catching up on some of the ones I missed last go-round.
WRATH
Who did you last get angry with?
Probably best not to say, since those involved would read this.
What is your weapon of choice?
The ideal would be a Colt Python .357 magnum, but mostly it’s my fists or vicious words.
Would you hit a member of the opposite sex?
Absolutely. Have done many times.
How about of the same sex?
Absolutely. Have done many times.
Who was the last person that got really angry at you?
Hah! They’d have to get in line, I’m sure. Everyone’s always pissed at me for something.
What is your pet peeve?
Too numerous to name. It’s a tossup between rudeness, especially thoughtless rudeness as practiced by so many people I know, or lying, especially the kind of lame lying to cover your lame tracks.
Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
I am queen of the grudges. They last forever. Though, I can also forgive and have become friends with many people I used to have major grudge matches with.
SLOTH
What is one thing you’re supposed to do daily that you haven’t done in a long time?
I don’t know that there’s anything I need to do daily. I’m not a procrastinator much. But I don’t tidy up as much as I should and put papers and things away, stay organized, at home.
What is the latest you’ve ever woken up?
Well, back in the day when I didn’t go to bed till after 4 a.m., probably about 4 p.m. In normal life now, probably 10:30 or so.
Name a person you’ve been meaning to contact, but haven’t.
My cousin up in Marysville. He's one of the few people I like in my extended family, and his mom's in bad shape, and I really should keep up with him. I suck.
What is the last lame excuse you’ve made?
”Time got away from me.” I’m not much for excuses — I usually own up to being a lameass rude and forgetful person. (See pet peeve above.)
Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through?
No. Good god, why would I?
When was the last time you got a good workout in?
A few weeks ago. Trying to learn yoga, but some of the poses just do not work for me.
How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today?
Once. My new job means I can’t screw around much.
GLUTTONY
What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice?
Vente chai, no foam. Or sweetened iced tea if I can get it.
White meat or dark meat?
White, white, baby.
What is the greatest amount of alcohol you’ve had in one sitting/outing/event?
I once drank an entire fifth of gin at a party. Didn’t die or get sick or anything. It was a long party, though.
Have you ever used a professional diet company?
No.
Do you have an issue with your weight?
I’m fairly overweight, but my height and really big bones help disguise it more than they should. I would like to get down to the weight I was 15 years ago when I couldn’t eat for a while, but starvation isn’t a good thing for your body, either. So it’s up and down.
Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods?
All three — they complement each other. One without the other would be… a day without sunshine, people!
Have you ever taken food “to go” from a buffet?
I think so. Been a long time since I’ve been to one, though.
LUST
How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)?
No idea. Hard to count after living in a dorm.
How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)?
Again, no idea. Not as many, though, because I’m a freakishly modest person and don’t like to show skin.
Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation?
Not that I can remember. Though sometimes I find myself looking at women’s breasts if they’re really huge, wondering what it’s like to be stuck with that kind of weight and annoyance.
Have you wanted someone who was taken?
Of course.
What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice?
That’s a toughie. But if pressed, I’d probably go with male forearms. A well-muscled forearm, especially with sleeves pushed up, on an in-shape guy can be lovely. If said forearm is wielding a sword, all the better.
Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?
No, but I have by a pimp. At least a couple times — apparently having red hair and being a big girl is quite the thing. Who knew.
Have you ever had a one-night stand?
No. I haven’t had many stands at all!
GREED
How many credit cards do you own?
I think five, counting the gas card.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
I’m not really guilty about my pleasures, but I suppose it’s vat food — really gross food that’s squeezed out of a vat like American cheese slices and Hostess cupcakes. Or fandom. Sometimes I’m guilty about fandom and the money/time I spend on it, or maybe just embarrassed by it.
If you had $1 million, what would you do with it?
Buy a nice car, fix up my house, get new electronics, and invest the rest.
Would you rather be rich or famous?
Rich.
Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks?
Yes, as long as it was boring because I didn’t have to work very hard.
Have you ever stolen anything?
Oh yeah. And I got caught when I was a kid — the very day I was being taught to shoplift by the bad kids I was hanging out with.
How many mp3’s are on your hard drive?
This implies thievery of pirated music. I have many Mp3s, but all are from music I have bought, obtained legally from the library, or DLed from a pay source such as iTunes. I have musician friends, and I believe in supporting them — it’s only the really big folks who aren’t harmed by filesharing.
PRIDE
What’s the one thing you’ve done that you’re most proud of?
Sold some short fiction and creative non-fiction.
What’s the one thing you’ve done that your parents are most proud of?
Probably the same.
What thing would you like to accomplish in your life?
Write and sell a novel and sell film rights.
Do you get annoyed by coming in second place?
No, I’m pretty much used to it — after all, I’m the second of twins.
Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score?
I think so. Probably back when I was failing math. I “cheat” on closed book editing tests sometimes, too, by bringing a pocket dictionary. I think tests like that are immoral and obscene, so I have no issues with helping myself get a job.
What did you do today that you’re proud of?
Nothing yet. Probably nothing by end of day, unless I work on my vid tech problems.
ENVY
What item of your friend’s would you most want to have for your own?
A bigger-screen flat TV.
Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors?
Yes. (And I’ve been entered in fan contests by others, and still never won anything even though many competitors were morons.)
If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be?
Any of my friends who have partners and nice lives and don’t have to work for a living and get to play in their favorite pursuits.
Have you ever been cheated on?
Yes. Bastard.
Have you ever cheated on someone?
Yes. Bastard. Not that I’m, you know, proud of this fact.
Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own?
God yes — pretty much my whole freaking body!
What trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself?
Elegance. And maybe acceptance or serenity.
What is your favorite deadly sin?
Gluttony! Mmmmm… gluttony… :: channels Homer Simpson::

Interesting list; almost makes me want to do it.

Date: 2004-06-04 02:00 am (UTC)Hee. Although I totally sympathise, cause I do the same thing when it comes to chicks with big busts. I also stare and seethe with jealousy when it comes to chicks with good busts...
Cool meme. Gacking now.
