7 Deadly Sins

ANGER

1. Who did you last get angry with? Rob

2. What is your weapon of choice? Drinks.

3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Yes

4. How about of the same sex? Yes

5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? You can never be a hundred percent positive who is angry at you. But Rob is definitely the last person who has told me he was angry with me.

6. What is your pet peeve? I have many, many pet peeves. Where to start? People who leave messes for others to clean up. I also can't abide debilitating pickiness, extreme cheapness, men who compete with pregnant women and elderly over a seat on the train, arrogance and people who are oblivious to the world around them. Other pet peeves include: being buzzed on the intercom by my boss (most annoying ring pattern EVER), being asked to perform minute tasks, blatant rudeness, people who don't read a complete email before responding to it with a question that's already been answered in the original email, people who take any iota of authority too seriously or who claim authority arbitrarily and teenagers who call eachother "nigga" and "son."

7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? It really depends on the situation. If the conflict is between me and a person I love, I don't hold grudges. But if a conflict occurs between me and a person who I didn't care about to begin with, it's likely that I will hold onto the grudge until they give me a reason to let it go. Sometimes a reason never presents itself and so I never think kindly of that person again. I definitely have the capacity to hold a grudge.

SLOTH

1. What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't done in a long time? Blog

2. What is the latest you've ever woken up? This is a very strange question. In fact, it could be the most ridiculous question ever. It's going on my list of pet peeves.

3. Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't: Too many to count.

4. What is the last lame excuse you made? It's a secret.

5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones...)? Yes. And I once made a purchase as a result of one such infomercial. They try to sell you everything but your own kitchen sink once they get you on the phone.

6. When was the last time you got a good workout in? Hmmm. What qualifies as a "good workout." Getting to work and back everyday is a workout in itself. I call it Urban Stairmaster/Treadmill. But I don't really "work out."

7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today? Not once. I'm on vacation!

GLUTTONY

1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? Dirty Vodka Martini, extra cold.

2. White meat or dark meat? White meat.

3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event? It's tough to recall, because I can really put 'em away, but I'm pretty sure I drank more after my friend Tyler's funeral than I've ever drank during one night out. I drank everything from shots of tequila to flaming Dr. Peppers to Irish Car Bombs to Tokyo Teas to Long Island Iced Teas to...jagermeister? Ugh...I don't even know. It was horrible.

4. Have you ever used a professional diet company? No. I have never been on a diet.

5. Do you have an issue with your weight? No.

6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods? Salty.

7. Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, "LUNCH!"? Yes. I used to tease my old roommate, Laura, that her pet chihuahua, Pebbles, looked like a chicken and then I would tell Pebbles that I was gonna eat her. It was a joke!!! Being around Laura made me think morbid, homicidal thoughts all the time.

LUST

1. How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)? More than I care to remember.

2. How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)? More than I care to remember.

3. Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation? Yes.

4. Do you have a crush? Yes. Aside from Rob? Keifer Sutherland.

5. What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice? Aside from his dead sexy mug? Ass, slope of the back, torso...ummm...I think I should stop there.

6. Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute? Not exactly.

7. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy? Yes

GREED

1. How many credit cards do you own? 0

2. What's your guilty pleasure store? Um. Any store. I love the lingerie store by my house, but shoe stores are my biggest weakness.

3. If you had $1 million, what would you do with it? In order:

Give my two weeks notice
Travel in style
Buy a house
Invest

4. Would you rather be rich, or famous? Rich

5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks? That depends on how boring and how mega the bucks. If it was mega enough that I could soon retire, sure. If it was something I'd be stuck doing for years and years, I don't think so.

6. Have you ever stolen anything? Yes

7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive? You'd have to ask my boyfriend. I don't download MP3s.

PRIDE

1. What one thing have you done that you're most proud of? Moved to New York and made a full adjustment.

2. What one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of? I can't be positive, but I think they're most proud of me for being independent and capable of taking care of myself. They also tell me I'm smart. But I think they're proud of themselves for that ;o)

3. What thing would you like to accomplish in your life? I would like to achieve total independence from authority and I would like to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I'd also like to publish a couple of high quality books before I die.

4. Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? I've never been very competative, so I don't really know. I imagine if I was competing in an area that I felt I exceeded at, it would be disappointing not to place first. I haven't really been in this situation so it's hard to say. Knowing my personality though, I think I might be annoyed.

5. Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors? Never an official contest, but I've challenged people to a game of pool, knowing full well that I'm going to whip their ass.

6. Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score? No. I never cared enough to cheat.

7. What did you do today that you're proud of? Studied diligently for my SAT.

ENVY

1. What item (or person) of your friend's would you most want to have for your own? Can it be something of my mom's? I want my mother's furniture. If it has to be something of a friend's, I'll take Lauren's apartment on Central Park West.

2. Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? Darcie. She has excellent taste. I would totally trust her to make my house look beautiful.

3. If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be? Just for a little while: I'd like to be one of those people on the Food Network or the Travel Channel who just travel to beautiful places and eat all the time and sleep in posh hotels and get paid mucho dinero to go on tv and talk about how fabulous it is.

4. Have you ever been cheated on? Yes. Bastard.

5. Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own? At one time or another, I've wished for lots of things to be different, but most of the time I'm relatively satisfied with what I've got. I wouldn't mind having less sensitive skin.

6. What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? Greater ambition, an inclination to save money.

7. Do you wish you'd come up with this survey? Don't flatter yourself.

8. Finally, what is your favorite deadly sin? Favorite? I am well versed in all. It would be unfair to choose favorites.
