Vices. Like Miami Vices? Yeah, no. Hmmm... Let's see.
Lust
I lust after Chebbar, but I think that's to be expected. I don't covet my neighbour (ew). I'm generally happy with what I have, so I don't yearn for fancy cars or shiny shoes (they're generally not very comfortable anyhow). Lust? Not so much.
Gluttony
*heavy sigh* Yeaaaaah. *checks ass* Guilty as charged. I'm a Taurus: (and I quote) "Allied to their taste for all things beautiful is a love for the good things of life pleasure, comfort, luxury and good food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to over indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and covetousness."
God, I'm screwed.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm no foodie. I'm not a food snob. If anything, I have the culinary tastes of a 12-year old boy -- I like simple, familiar,
I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, and I rarely drink. I like food: sue me.
Greed
I don't really think I'm a greedy person. As I mentioned above, I'm generally happy with what I have and I've never had grand dreams -- I've never wanted a $90,000 car, I've never dreamed of jetting off to Paris to become a fashion designer, I don't want to live in a mansion. That being said, it sure makes life easy when you're able to be content with what you have (and I'm very appreciative of this).
Sloth
Well, if procrastination counts as laziness, I'm definitely a sloth. Heh. Procrastination coupled with my gnat-like attention span means many forgotten or incompleted tasks if I don't do them rightthisverysecond. I also like sleep. And sleeping in. And sitting on my ass.
Wrath
Welllll, thanks to my newly-diagnosed PMDD, I think it's safe to say I dabble in the wrath. Coupled with my *cough*road rage*cough*, I'd say I'm up to my arm pits.
I try not to be wrathful. Generally speaking, I'm a pretty easy-going person. But I hold grudges like a mother trucker. And heaven HELP you if you hurt someone I love. The reign of fury is not nice, no matter how unscary I look at 5'2. I'll put a pox on you AND your house. So there.
Envy
Much like greed, doesn't really apply. At least not often. ;)
Pride
Oh, pride. I am very prideful. I hate looking stupid. I don't hate being wrong as much as I hate looking stupid, mostly because over the years I've been able to think of those instances as learning experiences, but it's still not fun. My biggest struggle with pride comes from within: I am a perfectionist to the nth degree, so "failing" in any capacity is a HUGE blow to the ego for me. Pride is a tough one for me.
Now, if you want to lighten it up a little, I'll give ya some of my "fun" vices:
- Junk food
- Crappy TV
- Crappy music
- Temper tantrums (hehehe)
- Teh intarwebz and all my friends that live inside my computer
- Uh, Chebbar?
ooooh lust. we sure do like that one dont we?
ReplyDeleteI'm the queen of the uber-grudge. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI try not to hold grudges, but I definitely consider certain people dead to me. I mean, I forgive them, but there's not trust and certainly no friendship left to share. I'm not so much with the pox as I am the "Oh, are you still alive? I didn't pay attention."
ReplyDeleteAlso, goat cheese is one of my top five favorite foods! I even made goat cheese bars once.
Ahhh, my fellow Taurus, we are so alike!
