7 sins meme...

I stole this from Terroni...

WRATH
With whom did you last get angry? With The Liar, of course...don’t ask...
What is your weapon of choice? My tongue...I’m capable of scathing criticism...
Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Hit ON for sure, but no, I can’t imagine hitting anyone....
How about the same sex? See above, except that I wouldn’t hit ON anyone of the same sex
Who was the last person who got really angry with you? I dunno...I’m sure there’s someone, but usually, I try to use humor when things start to get heavy, to defuse the situation...
What is your pet peeve? I hate it when guys blow their nose in a napkin at dinner...I’ve never seen a woman do it. It’s totally gross, guys!
Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? Ha! I have Attention Deficit Disorder, and one of the big advantages is that I can’t usually remember who I’m supposed to be mad at, or why. If someone behaves badly, I tend to keep my distance, but I’m pretty good natured, and don't hold grudges...

SLOTH
What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't? Exercise...
What is the latest you've ever woken up? Dunno...although I’m not a morning person, I’ve never required much sleep...
Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't. David Clark...my best friend from the U of C...
What’s the last lame excuse you made? I voted against doing monthly potlucks at work, saying, "I don’t want to transport food all that distance..."
Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through? No, I fall asleep watching infomercials, every time!
How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock this morning? Once...

GLUTTONY
What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? Starbuck’s cappuccinos...they aren’t even that good!
Are you a meat eater? Oh yeah, I’m a total carnivore...although I had scallops for dinner tonight, and can easily go for weeks without eating red meat...still, a few times a year, there aren’t many things I enjoy more than a bloody filet mignon...
What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting? Hmmmmmm, I dunno...my younger brother could probably answer this for me better than I can, as he witnessed it (I was maybe 21 at the time)...
Are you comfortable with your drinking and eating habits? I’m totally comfortable with my drinking habits these days, but re eating...no, I know that I need to give up most carbs, because it's clear that I’m not exactly metabolizing them efficiently...
Do you enjoy candy and sweets? Not particularly...a little goes a long way with me, although I confess to a love of dark chocolate with chipotle or curry...
Which do you prefer: sweet, salty, or spicy? Salty, every time...
Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, "lunch"? Ewwwwwww...no, I haven’t...

GREED
How many credit cards do you own? Probably 20 or 25...but usually, I just use my American Express
If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? Pay off the mortgage, book a 10-day river rafting trip for me, my kids and their significant others, and my ex, and probably save the rest for retirement...
Would you rather be rich or famous? Rich. I love my privacy.
Would you accept a boring job if it meant that you would make megabucks? Sheesh, I’ve done exactly that, minus the megabucks. I settled for a decent salary with good health benefits, but until you yourself have worked places for very little money, where employee abuse is rampant, don’t knock it...

PRIDE
What's one thing that you have done that you're most proud of? Against all odds, I completed college and grad school...
What's one thing you have done that your parents are proud of? I think my mom was proud that I went to college...I don’t remember her ever saying so, though.
What would you like to accomplish late in your life? There are LOTS of things...but if I have to pick one...I dunno, I ‘ve always wanted to learn to play the piano...
Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? That depends...if it’s something where I expected to come in first, then yes, for sure...
Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than the other competitors? No...to me, that would be incredibly lame, and I like to be able to look myself in the eye when I’m brushing my teeth each morning...
Have you ever cheated to get a better score? No, but I’ve lied to my therapist...
What did you do today that you're proud of? I ate a healthy breakfast: I had unsweetened yogurt (it’s very sour, and I love that stuff) with fresh raspberries and a handful of cranberry granola, all washed down with a small glass of freshly squeezed OJ...

LUST
How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies, family, strippers, locker rooms)?
Shoot, I’ve lost count...(just KIDDING...I haven’t a clue!)
How many people have seen you naked (not counting physicians, family, locker rooms, or when you were a young child)? What kind of questions are these? Who keeps track of this stuff?
Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a person of your chosen sex during a normal conversation? I’m stealing Terroni’s answer here, because it’s absolutely accurate and I can’t improve on it: No, I was looking at...uh...you had a piece of lint there.
Have you ever had sexual encounters (including kissing/making out) with multiple persons? Sheesh, no!
Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute? Not to my knowledge...

ENVY
What item of your friends would you most want to have for your own? If we’re talking stuff, I can’t think of a thing...
Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? I absolutely LOVE my house, and all of my stuff, and there’s no one I’d trust to make changes in it, so I’d never go on Trading Spaces...
If you could be anyone who existed in the world, who would you be? I can’t imagine being anyone else...now, if I could meet anyone who existed in the world, I have a long list, starting with Mark Twain...
Have you ever been cheated on? Yeah, and take my word for it, it was not a good experience...
Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own? From the time we were kids, I always wished I had my brother Dave’s beautiful coloring...ash blonde hair and sky blue eyes...
What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? Self-confidence...I always doubt myself.

What deadly sin...
Do you do the
most often? Sloth.
Do you do the
least often? Envy.
Is your
favorite to act on? :) Lust...
