4. How about of the same sex?: Yeah. =P
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you?: Alice… over something stupid. XD
6. What is your pet peeve?: Willing stupidity. It’s okay to be ignorant… it’s not okay to stay ignorant.

SLOTH
1. What is one thing you’re supposed to do daily that you haven’t done in a long time?: Go to the gym. e_e

5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones)?: For sure. Years and years ago, though.
6. When was the last time you got a good workout in?: Hmm… a month or two ago, when I ran two miles and it killed the hell from me.

2. Meat eaters: white meat or dark meat?: All meat.
3. What is the greatest amount of alcohol you’ve had in one sitting/outing/event?: Let’s see… it was either that bottle of vodka I chugged, the ten or so shots of soju I did that one night, or one of the nights of ICBs with the guys. Each of these times was in addition to beers. I’m a middleweight!
4. Have you ever used a professional diet company?: No.
5. Do you have an issue with your weight?: Meh… somewhat. I could stand to lose a significant amount of fat, but I don’t think I’d lose much actual poundage from it.

7. Have you ever looked at a small housepet or child and thought, LUNCH?: Who hasn’t?

4. Would you rather be rich, or famous?: I don’t know, really… probably rich. Fame brings too many problems.
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks?: Boring, yeah… meaningless, no.
6. Have you ever stolen anything?: Yeah.
7. How many MP3s are on your hard drive?: Jesus, I have no idea. I know I’ve got in the ballpark of 110GB… how many does that translate into? (My desktop is off, or I’d check)

PRIDE

3. Do you let yourself get your hopes up for something even if you know that there is a large chance of failure?: Sure do. What can I say, I’m a hopeful kind of guy… although I’m pretty pessimistic at the same time.
4. Freedom or fate?: I don’t think either one completely pins it down.
5. Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?: Yeah.
6. Do you gamble?: Poker home games! I’ll gamble at casinos, but it’s not a driving desire of mine.

CHARITY

2. What causes have you given money or time to?: Non-idiocy.
3. Have you ever worked in a soup kitchen or done another kind of outreach for the homeless?: Yeah, but because I was required to. Not that I hated it or anything, but I didn’t do it out of the goodness of my heart.

6. Have you ever helped out a friend with basic needs, like rent or food?: Yup.
7. What’s the greatest extent you’ve gone to help a friend in need?: Let people borrow lots of money… traveled long distances to lend my wisdom… etc.

FORTITUDE
1. What are you most afraid of?: Spiders. Not being needed. Failing a friend. Things going in my eyes. Doctors and dentists. Making some mistake and crashing in car or on motorcycle. Never finding out what it is I want to do with my life and drifting, lost and useless, forever.
2. What did you do today that was really brave?: Nothing yet.
3. Who is your favorite superhero, and why?: Does Spider Jerusalem count?

6. Have you ever gotten stage fright? If so, when?: When I was younger. These days I don’t really ever.
7. Do you consider yourself to be a leader or a follower?: I can be pretty decent at both, but I’m more of a Bean than an Ender… somewhere in the middle, I guess.

JUSTICE
1. Have you ever been summoned for jury duty?: Yeah, but never had to serve yet.
2. If they reinstituted the draft (for both genders), would you go, or would find some way out of it?: I don’t really know. Find some way out of it, probably.
3. Do you support capital punishment (the death penalty)?: No. I think it’s situational, and in some cases it’s one of the least-bad options, but everything I’ve learned in life so far leads me to believe that everyone deserves a chance for improvement and atonement, and that can’t happen if they’re dead.
4. Which should be guaranteed legal?: Definitely. Which should definitely be guaranteed legal. Do you know my dad? PORK CHOP SANDWICHES

2. Do you collect anything?: Hm… I like having things, and I hate getting rid of anything, so I guess I collect everything. Not avidly, though, like stamp collections. Maybe I collect books… or CDs… or video games. I guess I definitely collect cars and motorcycles, but that’s a pretty slow, long-term collection. XD
3. Are you addicted to anything?: Leisure?
4. Have you ever put anything on layaway or used an installment plan?: Not really.
5. What’s your preferred method of paying for things?: Money? I don’t really care.

7. Do you feel that you obsess over things?: Of course. Maybe not enough, in some cases… =P

PRUDENCE
1. Who is the wisest person you know?: Unfortunately, me. I KNOW there’s people out there much wiser than me, I just haven’t gotten to meet any of them. There are people out there I think are wiser than me who I haven’t gotten to meet (Neil Gaiman at a signing doesn’t really count), and there are people I know who I think are equally wise, but dammit, nobody seems capable of besting me. I really want someone to, I really really do, so that I can ask them all the questions I can’t answer. =(
2. Have you ever participated in a vigil?: Nope.
3. Do you take advice when it’s given?: If I think it’s good advice. I consider all advice, if that’s what you mean.
4. What area are you wisest in?: Interpersonal matters.
5. Do you drive defensively?: Hell no, I drive very aggressively. I’m polite about it, though, unless you do something stupid on the road and I have to avoid it. And I’m more defensive these days, since Alice tends to freak out if I, y’know, approach a slower-moving car. =P
6. What did you learn today?: Lots of things about Emily. =P
7. And of course, what is your favorite heavenly virtue?: Shrug. They’re all pretty good. =P
