THE SEVEN HEAVELY VIRTUES
FAITH
1. What religion do you follow?
A: My only solid belief is that if there is a divinity, then no mortal is qualified to speak on it.
2. What religion were you raised as?
A: Same as most people in the UK; Quietly Agnostic.
3. Do you believe that forgiveness is a religious property, or a human property?
A: It's a concept and a process, not a property or attribute.
4. Do you have your own commandments
A: Do what is in the greater good. Understand every point of view. Always, always care, for if we don't care, everything is lost.
5. What was the last promise you broke?
A: Erm... "Yeah, I'll be there, right on time..."
6. Have you ever said the words to a prayer and not meant it?
A: Nope. I haven't prayed since I was 11, but I meant every word when I said it.
7. Do you believe that anyone could be perfect?
A: I beleive that perfection itself is a myth. There is no such thing, it's a true impossibility.
HOPE
1. Did you get everything you wanted over the last holiday season?
A: No. Who cares?
2. Regarding your future, what is the best thing you could hope for?
A: Artistic success. Perhaps getting a place of my own.
3. Do you let yourself get your hopes up for something even if you know that there is a large chance of failure?
A: Oh, all the fucking time. Fucking seriously. I think I fucking hate myself or something. This is why I've sworn off romantic feelings. They're nothing but pain for all involved.
4. Freedom or fate?
A: Fate is far too intangible to seriously deal with. Freedom I truly prize.
5. Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?
A: No.
6. Do you gamble?
A: No. I think it's a mug's game and the road to ruination.
7. Have you ever had something called off on account of bad weather, but then gone ahead and done it anyway?
A: I live in England... of COURSE I have. z: )
CHARITY
1. What causes do you support?
A: It's been a while since I've given to charity, but I used to give a lot of spare change to the RSPCA and the British Heart Foundation.
2. What causes have you given money or time to?
A: Erm... isn't this the same question as above?
3. Have you ever worked in a soup kitchen or done another kind of outreach for the homeless?
A: Sadly, no.
4. Would you ever consider joining the Peace Corps, Amnesty International, or another travel?
A: No, but I always think that I should. The third world deserves our money and labour a lot more than we do.
5. Do you give money to the homeless on the street?
A: On many an occasion.
6. Have you ever helped out a friend with basic needs, like rent or food?
A: If giving someone somewhere to stay for two months counts, then yes.
7. What's the greatest extent you've gone to help a friend in need
A: See above.
FORTITUDE
1. What are you most afraid of?
A: The Blob and all things like it. Slimy things that consume and kill you.
2. What did you do today that was really brave?
A: I only just got up.
3. Who is your favorite superhero, and why?
Jack Knight, the younger Star Man. Because he was a breath of fresh air, a human and relatable forced-into-the-role type who was NOT also incidentally a munchkin.
4. Would you put your life in danger to rescue someone?
A: Yes.
5. If you were to face the Wizard, would you want more courage, more brains, or more heart?
A: I think if I had to face a magic user, I'd have to do it intelligently, use my cunning to nullify his advantages.
6. Have you ever gotten stage fright?
A: Yes, but strangely never on stage. On stage I flourish. On the phone to one person, I choke. z: j
7. Do you consider yourself to be a leader or a follower?:
A: I lead or I observe and advise from the periphery. I have trouble following.
JUSTICE
1. Have you ever been summoned for jury duty?
A: No.
2. If they reinstituted the draft (for both genders), would you go, or would find some way out of it?
A: I'm not certain. It would depend on the exact circumstances. Today and now? I'd get out of it. Go to prison, whatever. If they can't handle the current situation with regular professional soldiers then they should tuck that tail between those legs.
3. Do you support capital punishment (the death penalty)?
A: No. I think that's a power that needs to be kept out of the hands of governments. Besides, if someone has really done something truly bad, then they should live and suffer under the weight of their guilt.
4. Which should be guaranteed legal?
A: This needs clarification.
5. Do you believe that George W. is rightfully President of the USA?
A: No. No I do not. The USA has been overtaken by a cabal of ruthless fanatic assholes who probably want to destroy all life.
6. What was your favorite media circus trial?
A: They all make me a little bit too sick.
7. Have you ever written a letter to a politician?
A: Yep.

2. Do you collect anything?
A: VHS and DVD, CD and Vinyl, price stickers (I'm making a fasionable coffee table z: ) )
3. Are you addicted to anything?
A: Marajuana.
4. Have you ever put anything on layaway or used an installment plan?
A: Yep. That's how I got my Telecaster.
5. What's your preferred method of paying for things?
A: Chip and PIN. Even if it is too easy.
6. Tell us one thing you wish you hadn't let yourself do?
A: Lost my virginity the way that I did. It was awkward and crap.
7. Do you feel that you obsess over things?
A: I don't have the attention span. z: )
PRUDENCE
1. Who is the wisest person you know?
A: It was a man called Jonny, but... he died.
2. Have you ever participated in a vigil?
A: Erm... not sure, perhaps?
3. Do you take advice when it's given?
A: I'm pretty shit at taking advice. I always listen, but I never learn.
4. What area are you wisest in?
A: Having patience with people.
5. Do you drive defensively?
A: I ride a push bike. If I didn't ride defensively, I'd be dead meat. Drivers are fucking impatient, self-centred, ignorant fucking idiots on the road.
6. What did you learn today?
A: That this illness still hasn't gone away. I still feel like shit.
7. And of course, what is your favorite heavenly virtue?
A: Temperance.
