(no subject)
Here's a survey.
WRATH.
1. Who did you last get angry with?
A fellow in class, for taking up so much time without letting others speak, but he's a pretty good guy otherwise. The last person I got genuinely angry with is another classmate (I mentioned him in an older entry), who was leeching and acting like a jerk about it. (Forgiven, too.)
2. What is your weapon of choice?
Silenced .22? Yeah it's devious, and something I would never use, but the question's sorta cahrazay anyway. I mean, does the author of this survey regularly pick fights or something?
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex?
If I would lose more by not doing so, a rare situation indeed.
4. How about of the same sex?
If I would lose more by not doing so, a rare situation indeed.
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you?
Come now, who could be angry at li'l me? I suppose it's a guy on AnimeNation Forums, which I don't visit anymore; he took my requests for more detailed commentary a bit too defensively. *g*
6. What is your pet peeve?
People who condemn the need for learning and reasoning, particularly in others (but also when applied by students toward teachers when the teacher is obviously trying to be on the level), and are arrogant about it.
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
Generally I let them go ASAP. Unless they hit my pet peeve, then I only let them go once the perpetrator gets the picture. Of course this only works if the perpetrator and I are familiar to each other... then again, it's hard to take anything too personally when it's delivered impersonally.
SLOTH.
1. What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't?
Eat breakfast. Horrible of me. I'm currently concerned that I might miss something I need to make up, so I've gotten into the habit. Hopefully I'll return to my old ways shortly.
2. What is the latest you've ever woken up?
Only about 11A.
3. Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't?
My old math teacher from high school. You could in fact insert any of the cool teachers I had in otherwise dreary primary schooling, except for my genetics teacher (whom I already emailed) and my band teacher (whom I visited in person).
4. What is the last lame excuse you made?
'Oh, that light bulb just burned out.'
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through?
Yeah. I'm not sure how it would fall under sloth, though, if you're doing it for analysis purposes.
6. When was the last time you got in a good workout?
I already travel nearly everywhere I go with my own power. As for weight lifting or full contact sports, not for a while.
7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today?
I don't have one. Alarms just make me want to dive back under the covers.
GLUTTONY.
1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice?
Overpriced yuppie beverage... hmm, that's a tough one... I guess some sort of smoothie/Orange Julius/mango lassi type thing. >_>
2. Meat eaters: white meat or dark meat??
I generally eat white meat, but I got nothing against dark meat, assuming we're talking about chicken here.
3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event?
About the equivalent of one half glass of red wine. Also had rose petals in it I think. ^^;
4. Have you ever used a professional diet company?
No.
5. Do you have an issue with your weight?
No.
6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods?
I like variety in my overall diet, though I don't like mixing and matching on the same plate; call me picky.
7. Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought "lunch"?
Not exactly, but I have looked at a little bird and thought, "A cat would call that a dumpling." XD
LUST.
1. How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family):
None.
2. How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family):
None, I believe. ^^;
3. Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of the opposite gender during a normal conversation?
Only because sometimes I bow my head due to nervousness, in an attempt to avoid looking directly at someone. I tend not to do this nowadays, as I've had much practice with being social.
4. Have you "done it"?
Not that I know of. >_>
5. What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice?
I dunno, I tend to evaluate that sort of thing very much through synthesis.
6. Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute?
Doubtful.
7. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy?
Nope.
GREED.
1. How many credit cards do you own?
Zero. It's really annoying that so many things require a credit card even if you don't spend money, btw... even going to Russia probably requires a hotel reservation and thus a credit card!
2. What's your guilty pleasure store?
I dunno... Pal-Do World? Just 'cause of the cahrazy feeling of being racially marginalized.
3. If you had $10 million, what would you do with it?
Stick it in one of me deposits, no doubt. There's no way I could possibly spend all that money, unless I was suddenly smitten with the idea of making a huge donation to a worthy cause.
4. Would you rather be rich, or famous?
Well, Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes made a good point -- if you're rich, you can BUY fame and fortune.
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks?
Very wide open question. Some supposedly boring jobs are jobs I would find passable, and I'd definitely get the best of both worlds if one of those jobs were available. On the other hand, I doubt I could last long in a job I personally found boring.
6. Have you ever stolen anything?
Yep. It's a bit of a tale, though.
7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive?
Not as many as you might expect, but still a goodly amount.
PRIDE.
1. What's one thing you have done that you're most proud of?
Figured out how to integrate everything I learn into a central system. In other words, come up with a suitably personal process of being a student/jack-of-numerous-trades.
2. What's one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of?
Getting as far as I have in the education system.
3. What things would you like to accomplish in your life?
Improve my degree of knowledge and wisdom unto death, make a difference to some people, and find a social ritual/responsibility I truly enjoy and that will allow me to pursue both of the previous goals.
4. Do you get annoyed by coming in second place?
Only if the person coming in first place got there with contributions that no one else got.
5. Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors?
Yeah.
6. Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score?
I'm sure I must have at some point. As a minor who differed significantly from his elders, some social rituals were set against me, and they could have held me back without justification or offsetting benefit. I'm not one to willingly walk into an abattoir.
7. What did you do today that you're proud of?
Taught at least a few people the secrets of phrase-structure grammars and languages.
ENVY.
1. What item (or person) of your friends' would you most want to have for your own?
Let's just say it's a really really good computer.
2. Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with?
My clone who had exactly what I had and who lived his life exactly like I lived mine, and thought exactly the way I do, in a parallel universe where everything is the same. It would at least make an amusing episode of what I imagine is a dumb show. (I've never seen it.)
3. If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be?
I really can't say I'd like to be another.
4. Have you ever been cheated on?
I don't think so.
5. Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own?
Not really.
6. What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself?
Social chameleonness. Though I'd rather it be selective.
7. Do you wish you'd come up with this survey?
Pull your pants up and speak proper english!
Finally, what is your favorite deadly sin?
I'm somewhat partial to Gluttony, because it sounds particularly vile. Wrath, and Greed, and even Lust sound tame compared to Gluttony.
I can't help but wonder if my long-dormant asthma nearly resurfaced today. I was in an intense seminar, literally between two extremely intense people, and everyone was making very long and vituperative oratories. That and the rain certainly caused all the symptoms to appear in a disturbingly familiar way.
Note that we didn't actually talk much about the guest lecturer. AGAIN. X)
