1. Lust: Well, I don't lust after anyone, but there are a number of actors who I think are very good looking. Ewan McGregor (with his sexy Scottish accent), Johnny Depp & Daniel Radcliffe. But I think it's more about the characters they play, not the actors themselves. 2. Envy: I can't think of any time in particular, but in general, when I see a girl with a boyfriend, I get quite jealous because I don't have that, even though I don't necessarily want her boyfriend. 3. Pride: The only thing I can think of is in a class several months ago we had to present our papers and after I went, a number of people told me my thesis was really unique & interesting. I felt pretty good about that. 4. Gluttony: The chocolate chip and coffee cake muffins from Dunkin Donuts! Those things are so delicious! 5. Wrath: I don't think I hold grudges, mainly because I have such a bad memory, I wouldn't remember I was mad at the person. 6. Greed: I can think of something I want but can't have, but it isn't an item. What I want is to lose weight without changing how I eat or exercising. 7. Sloth: So many things! Cleaning, laundry, school work, exercising and not eating all the unhealthful food I really want to eat...this could go on and on....
