Best part about open house inspections is seeing what dirty secrets the neighbours had.

I wasn't pleased because they had like none however I did manage to take their alcohol which in turn works for everyone.

Ugh I need to clean this dump of an apartment before my friend comes over Sunday to watch Game of Thrones.

She's always talking about how me having cable is a "waste of money," and yet is eager to take advantage of my having HBO.

Slap her and tell her to shut up or she needs not to watch GoT and she can watch her normal tv

I'm thinking of telling her that she can help pay my cable bill if she's going to watch GoT over here.

Also, she torrents everything, certainly she can find it online somewhere. If she really can't, tough titties. God forbid you might have to pay for entertainment that other people put months or years of hard work into to make possible.

(I mean, I torrent things from time to time, but the fact that she almost never pays for books/music/TV/movies is something that kind of pisses me off as a friend who is hoping to have a career in one or more of those industries.)

We don't have that many assignments this week because of the musical that a lot o' students are gonna be in. Next week's the one before break, though, so we're gonna be up to our necks ._.
What musical? :eek: (sorry if you mentioned the title already)

I'm on break! Well... I don't have much left anyway. Spring Break is wayyyyyy to short.
Agreed. @.@

One of the comments in response to the Seven Deadly Sins quiz blog post I made, is someone with 0% of both Lust and Pride.

Which is sad. Those are the two best sins!

We're all very high in Sloth, though. I mean, that's pretty much the entire Internet.
I got:
Sloth: 80%
Gluttony: 60%
Wrath: 20%
Envy: 0%
Greed: 0%
Lust: 0%
Pride: 0%

On this quiz:
Greed: Medium
Gluttony: Medium (but less than Lust)
Wrath: Low
Sloth: Very High
Envy: Very Low
Lust: Medium (but less than Greed)
Pride: Low

The internet comment is very accurate. :U

Wow you guys suck at references.

You get a battering ram!
The only thing I can think of this might refer to is fairly odd parents.
My favorite episode is the one where Cosmo and Wanda pretend to be on TV and they spoof I Love Lucy and Seinfeld, among other things

Cosmo said:
It's a show about nothing!
...how do we know when it's over?

Yeah, first week of March. :( Thankfully my last exam is on April 30, so I'll be driving home on May 1. So only a month left. But a stressful, crappy month.
Suckage, I was gonna say take advantage of spring break to catch up on things. :s But like you said, one more month. You can do eet! :D

And I'm working on an article about this, which sounds both potentially really cool and potentially really ineffective.
Looks neat. :eek: Good luck with your article!

TUMBLR IS DOWN RIGHT NOW

WHAT CAN I DO
CRY

Though thankfully that was hours ago and the near apocalypse has passed.

And none of you got what I meant about Lust and Pride being the "best sins."

Since, you know, they're both related to a certain popular topic on this thread.

@Kakuna Matata; So I took the 4degreez quiz. I think I remember taking this quiz in high school, along with the corresponding "what level of hell" one (which I'm not as much of a fan of, since whoever created it doesn't seem to understand the difference between "blasphemy" and "heresy").

Anyway, like the rest of the Internet, Sloth is the highest one. Funny how I score much higher on Lust when they're talking about thoughts and desires (and attitudes about sex, where I'm very open-minded) and not just actual sexual experience.

(I don't really consider Lust a sin, though; I think it being seen that way is a relic of a sex-negative world. And relative to my previous statement, I don't think Pride is either unless it's undeserved. I think one of the major problems with the world is the wrong people are too full of themselves, and the people who are truly gifted and interesting and original are not confident enough.)


Also, I finished my article, on time this time! Add some comments you guys, because it didn't go up on our Tumblr (because it was posted during the Tumblr blackout) I'm not getting any yet. :-(

Same. No offense to your quiz, but I think this one gives more...leyway? I seem like such a prude on the first one. xD

I wouldn't consider any of those sins (being agnostic-leaning-towards-atheist), but yeah, in excess none of those are good. (like being so lustful you can't manage to get anything productive done. er, productive in things other than producing offspring.)

Oh, none taken. Blogthings quizzes are mostly silly and that's why I love them. I just think that one is funny because of how much of an asshole it makes me out to be. :)

And I also think the way they define lust here is more correct in terms of how the Seven Deadly Sins were originally conceived. Early and medieval Christian theologians tended to see impure thoughts as bad enough on their own; you didn't actually have to be engaging in bad sexual acts to be doomed by lust.

(I took a whole class in this in undergrad. It was the aforementioned - in this thread - awesome class where we also learned about incubi/succubi and homunculi as well. Pre-modern Western attitudes about sex were really, hilariously fucked.)

Everyone knows Greed is the best sin.


After taking both of those quizzes, I got this:
GBM's
Sloth: 80%

Greed: 60%

Gluttony: 20%

Envy: 0%

Lust: 0%

Pride: 0%

Wrath: 0%

KM's:
Everything was medium but Wrath, it was the highest one

I haven't taken either quiz because I'm too lazy to take them.
Heh, don't worry, that makes two of us. They look pretty interesting though, maybe I'll give them a try later.
