Sloth, Pride, Envy, Greed, Lust, Wrath, Gluttony.

I’m too lazy to make statistics out of these results so I have one more thing to read. I’ll wish I did once you do and I read them. I’ll probably think you’re hot for doing so, but nor for long, and I’ll despise you. I’ll think up some other way to make your work benefit me. Then I’ll take the credit.

Sloth.  
Gluttony.  
Envy.  
Lust.  
Wrath.  
Greed.  
Pride.

Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Greed. Simply, basic. Gluttony I actively fight, though; sloth and lust, not so much.

Lust, anger, and greed.

Because I would really like to be getting some.

I am very angry for reasons both justified, anger at people, and anger for things i can’t fix, and greed for wanting to win the lottery so I can afford to get the fuck outta Dodge, help my family and go travel.

Sloth  
Gluttony  
Lust

Greed  
Envy  
Pride  
Wrath

I have quite a bit of the top set, and not so much at all of the bottom set. I could quite happily sleep/lie around the house, eat/drink, and sex my way through life without a care in the world. Oh, well.

Hmm, let’s see…

1. Pride: I’m not good at asking for help, I don’t like people to see me flustered or upset, and I’m proud of my abilities (albeit realistic about all the things I suck at 🙂 )

2. Sloth: I’m lazy, and more than a bit of a slob.

3. Gluttony: I eat too much and the wrong things.

4. Envy: I sometimes envy people who have cool things I’d like, especially when it didn’t seem like they had to work for them.

5. Greed: I’m not too greedy, really. I’m happy with my life the way it is now. Not big on lending money or things, though.

6. Wrath: I don’t get angry that often–usually pretty mellow and easygoing.

7. Lust: Um, yeah. Not that strong in the ol’ libido department.

Hmmm. Takes some thought, but here goes:

1. Thinking unkind thoughts about other drivers
2. Masturbation
3. Dodging household chores
4. Picking my nose
5. Whistling under my breath
6. Passing gas
7. Taking pennies from penny bowl at store

Gluttony - Addictions run in my family, and I know I’m prone to them too. I’ve seen the kind of damage they do, even when the addict remains ‘functional’ of a sorts. I’m constantly watching my behavior to make sure I don’t cross that line.

Sloth - I like to do stuff, but on my own terms. I’m a champ at avoiding and procrastinating. Working on this one.

Pride - I can be very self-centered.

Greed - I’ve really enjoyed the few times I’ve gotten to sample luxury goods. I would enjoy the super-wealthy lifestyle. Well, if I’m going to get there, it’ll be on my own steam. Gotta go beat that sloth problem first.

Wrath - I really don’t have a temper, but I do have some deep, festering wounds. Trying to heal those up, but until then there’s an impressive knot of rage inside me.

Envy - not usually a problem, though there are some subjects/people from my childhood that cause impressive stabs of jealousy. Not proud of that.

Lust - Turns out that lust follows love for me, so I have lots of awesome sex inside my marriage and none elsewhere. Works well for me.

Gluttony  
Sloth  
Wrath  
Pride

I’m really working on improving my character in most of these areas, except for Lust. As others have said, I like lust.
