I've done this before, it's doing the rounds again, it's vaguely interesting.
A N G E R
1. Who did you last get angry with? Myself, for being lazy.
2. What is your weapon of choice? Fingernails. Or, as the people with scars like to call them, deadly razor-sharp talons. They are neither deadly or razor-sharp, and you would need a very wide definition of talons, but they're vaguely useful against people who weren't expecting this fighting buisiness to actually *hurt*.
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Mostly I am more likely to hit someone the better I know them. This is possibly something I should stop. OTOH, I punch like a girl, so nobody seems to mind that much.
4. How about of the same sex? Same. (I do seem to hit guys more, but this is probably 'cos I know more of them and they wind me up more often.)
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? Probably my mother. It's traditional.
6. What is your pet peeve? Actually, I really dislike the phrase 'pet peeve'. But currently it appears to be Why Doesn't Everyone Like Socialism Waah.
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? I don't believe I keep grudges; if anybody knows otherwise, they should inform me. If I'm going to get someone back for something, I prefer to do it straight away; some people manage to waste my time so much I don't let them have any more of it, but I don't really count that as keeping a grudge.
S L O T H
1. What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't done in a long time? Floss. I need floss.
2. What is the latest you've ever woken up? I really have no idea. I have woken up at all kinds of times, but mostly from about two hours' sleep or gone back to sleep immediately after.
3. Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't: Nobody I've been meaning to contact is still pending, although a good few people I ought to have contacted have been left too long and probably no longer want to hear from me.
4. What is the last lame excuse you made? "I can't do anything better than walking for I shall surely die"
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones...)? I've read plenty of 'Advertisment Features' in the Radio Times, does that count?
6. When was the last time you got a good workout in? Um. How does 'never' sound? Alternatively 'goodness knows, at least half a year ago'.
7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today? None. There was an alarm clock, and despite the fact I didn't have to get up that early I did have to kick![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tienelle out of the house so he could actually get stuff done before he wandered off to Edinburgh.
G L U T T O N Y
1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? Milkshakes! Made with proper stir-up-the-milk-and-put-flavouring-in, not the ice-cream-in-a-cup type. Good milkshakes.
2. Meat eaters: white meat or dark meat? Vegetarians: Vegan or no? Mnnnh. Basically I like any meat which isn't dry and tough. (So chicken legs, lamb, blue steak, well-cooked pork.)
3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting/outing/event? About a thimbleful of Jet, probably. It is minty and tastes deceptively of Night Nurse. It is the only alcohol I have actually liked on its own, and I suspect I could get very drunk very quickly on it, which is why I didn't have any more (especially as I was in Ewan's room at the time and it was his alcohol).
4. Have you ever used a professional diet company? No, although I have filled in the surveys that ads for them give you sometimes, and I have used a calorie-tracking website to try and work out if my diet at Uni was adequately nutritious.
5. Do you have an issue with your weight? Currently, yes.
6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods? Sweeeets. Although mostly I prefer bread. And meat.
7. Have you ever looked at a small housepet or child and thought, "LUNCH"? *looks shifty*
L U S T
1. How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies/family)? One or two in changing rooms. Much embarrassment.
2. How many people have seen YOU naked (not counting physicians/family)? That would be a grand total of zero, then.
3. Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a member of your gender of choice during a normal conversation? No, but I have done so deliberatly to try and work out if they have an erection.
4. Have you "done it"? <insert amusing answer mocking the question here>
5. What is your favorite body part on a person of your gender of choice? Braaains.
6. Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute? No; however, my father was, whilst with my mother and I - the fun of staying in a hotel accidentally in the red light district of Paris.
7. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy? No.
A V A R I C E
1. How many credit cards do you own? None. One debit card, which is just as useful with less faff.
2. What's your guilty pleasure store? $FOOD_STORE. Basically I don't buy anything but food unless I absolutely need it, because food I eat and it's gone, whereas anything else adds to The Dreaded Clutter.
3. If you had $1 million, what would you do with it? The thing is, $1 million just isn't really that *much* nowadays. It's not, for instance, enough to put in a bank and live off for the rest of your life without the risk of losing enough of it to be a problem, which is the only actual use I would personally have for a large sum of money. Knowing me, I would probably put it in a bank and forget I had it, although occasionally I'd feel guilty and donate large chunks of it to charity / give large loans to friends.
4. Would you rather be rich, or famous? Rich. I don't understand why anybody would *want* to just be 'famous'. I guess you might get your opinions heard more, but I don't think the famous are respected in the 'governments think you're right' way, especially if they are not also rich.
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks? It depends. I would feel I ought to because then I could give the money to people who were better at actually doing worthwhile things than me; if it took up all my time and hence was likely to make me a nervous wreck - therefore it would burn me out after a few years or make me much more likely to be horrible to people and generally suffer great moral decay - I would probably be selfish enough not to take it.
6. Have you ever stolen anything? I pick things up when I'm fairly sure they'll be damaged if they're left there, and things which are unattended (on a lecture theatre/school desk or on the floor) and as trivial as a pencil or something, and keep them rather than handing them in anywhere if there are no obvious identifiers and it's not likely to be worth more than about £1.
7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive? This hard drive contains Many - about 5Gb. I have, however, decided that I really ought not do the whole copyright theft thing, because at best it's tremendously disrespectful, so Moondaughter currently has probably about ten hanging around in folders I haven't got around to searching out yet. When I get my boxes down I'll happily rip the CDs I actually *own*, though; I think people trying to prevent me putting my *own CDs* on my computer are being disrespectful to *me*.
P R I D E
1. What one thing have you done that you're most proud of? Being in the right place at the right time for God to do stuff, once or twice.
2. What one thing have you done that your parents are most proud of? Probably 'got into Cambridge'.
3. What thing would you like to accomplish in your life? I've already accomplished everything I set out to accomplish in my life. Anything else I accomplish is just an added bonus.
4. Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? Yes.
5. Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors? Yes.
6. Have you ever cheated on something to get a higher score? Yes. I have this awful tendancy to be hopelessly competative, and so I cheat and lie pretty much by reflex, especially at games and previously on school tests. I try and catch myself and apologise whenever I do so nowadays, but have made much more progress on the lying side than the cheating; I still habitually cheat at games, and pretend I don't need to own up (or at least not until I won) because it's only a game and it doesn't matter.
7. What did you do today that you're proud of? Jogged for about five minutes at the end of an hour's walk.
E N V Y
1. What item (or person) of your friends would you most want to have for your own: I don't know, really. I'd kind of like a working body, but I think everybody's has its problems.
2. Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? *googles for Trading Spaces* Eww, decorating. I wouldn't wish to inflict my lack of taste on anyone else. They would come back to countryside murals in lurid purple and cyan and Hot Pink.
3. If you could be anyone else in the world, who would you be? I don't really know anyone else in the world well enough.tienelle's next few years sound quite fun, if rather busy.
4. Have you ever been cheated on? No, although I have had to dissuade people from being too friendly with my boy when I'm feeling possessive.
5. Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own? I want my face not to be fat any more. Also, I want my hair to be longer. Other than that, I think retractable claws and fur would be quite nifty; not that, uhm, I'm tremendously predictable and wanna be a cat girl or anything. (With wings. Proper ones to fly with. Which fold down neatly, possibly into extradimensional space.)
6. What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? The ability to *draw*. Failing that, to *sing*.
7. Do you wish you'd come up with this survey? Kind of. It's quite decent, and I like doing things which lots of people enjoy.
8. Finally, what is your favorite deadly sin? The one I have most of is Sloth; my favourite is Avarice because I can generally be smug about not having any (um, because I've always had enough money for the essentials and computers and hence don't really notice money).
And this is just *cute*:
