: Well, I'm sure that any question about the Christmas holiday has already been asked, but I feel so non-jolly right now that I just need to air it. Here are the questions:
: 1. LUST - You can spend the night in front of the fireplace with some eggnog (or alcohol) and one person - who is it?
Well, this may come as a shock to you, but his name begins with an "M". Sweet lovemaking will ensue like it has for the past 4 years.
: 2. PRIDE - What do you consider to be the "best gift" you've ever given someone at Christmas? (and virginity doesnt count)
I dont really know. I never feel like anyone really likes what I give them so much as "acts" happy.
: 3. GLUTTONY - Does your family have any holiday ritual of foods consumed on Christmas Eve or Christmas day?
See "The Queen"s post. The garlic cloves at dinner on Christmas Eve are the most fun.
: 4. ANGER - Whats the shittiest thing thats ever happened on a Christmas which ALMOST or SUCCEEDED IN destroying your Christmas spirit?
My house was robbed. I lost everything I cared about as far as material possessions. They trampled my art and stole all my drawing supplies. I was uninsured and never saw any of that back.
They broke in through the window in the back door and it took my landlord a week to replace it. The heater went out and it was freezing downstairs while we used space heaters to keep the upstairs semi-warm...
I didnt want my parents to know that I was robbed and didnt have any insurance and I didnt want to ruin the holiday season. So, I opened my gifts of DVDs, CDs, computer games, etc... Knowing that the enthusiasm was bullshit and that they went through all that work to buy me things that I would like and I couldnt enjoy any of them. It made me feel like shit and I hate Christmas because of it. The end.
: 5. ENVY - Did someone you know get a gift for Christmas that honestly made you jealous? What was it?
Yes - the "MASK" headquarters toy playset. God only knows how old I was.
: 6. SLOTH - How long ago were you dont with your Christmas shopping, or have you even started? Is this the normal pattern you follow?
I havent even started. This is pretty much normal.
: 7. GREED - How important are the material possessions to all that is Christmas? Saints aside - we all like gifts... be semi-honest.
I used to care. Now I dont. I dont know if it was growing up or just losing that Christmas spirit. The farther you move from believe in Santa Claus, the less magic I really feel.
: Oh, and buy me gifts:
I already bought myself porn. What more do I want?
