Your biggest vice

[Belegon]

3> a bad habit; a fault in one's character.

I'm not sure that it is procrastination so much as an ability to be easily distracted away from something I don't want to do in favor of almost anything that gives me an excuse to leave the other task behind. More of a twisted failure to prioritize correctly.

A certain Imp-atient partn3r would call me out here for my inability to speak plainly without covering my ass with phrases such as...

"barring a problem..."

or

"most of the time"

or

"in most cases"

Pretty much, yes.

 

[DerelictionOfSanity]

I've got far too many to choose from, but I think the one that I have to be most careful about is procrastination.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

It used to be sex and was replaced by food, which I'm now trying to replace with exercise.

 

[Vermilion]

sloth and gluttony.

ie- I'm fat and lazy

 

[slyc_willie]

Don't know if any of mine would qualify as 'biggest,' i.e. worst, but . . . .

Smoking. I like smoking. Camel Turkish Silver, and the occasional Sampoerna.

Beer. Stout German brews like Spaten Optimator or Warsteiner Doppelbock, or good English draughts like Young's Double Chocolat Stout

I have a tendency to think I know more than I do, but I can bullshit pretty well to get away with it . . . most of the time.

And I have a . . . tendency . . . to use too many . . . ellipses . . . when I post . . . .

fucking

 

[Wildcard Ky]

Porn.

Especially porn depicting humiliation.

I don't know why.

I'm game. You can humiliate me any way you'd like...................

 

[McKenna]

I'm game. You can humiliate me any way you'd like...................

Yeah, that's the odd thing. It's not that I like humiliating someone, and it's not that I, myself, like being humiliated (much), it's that I like watching some other bimbo get her licks.

Voyeurism. Maybe that's my vice.

 

[McKenna]

Not even my closest smoking-friends know about the little box under my bed, where I keep small samples of weed that have struck me as remarkable, and have a written description of the effects of each one...

This made me smile.

Voyeuristic revenge?

Hmm . . . .

I have nothing against those women (and sometimes men, can anyone say gay porn?) who get their just desserts at the hand of their lover/abuser, it's just that I find it arousing to watch them get used and abused like that. I like it when the fucking gets hard and fast, or when they talk dirty, or when they're given direction to do something they'd rather not, i.e., suck another man's cock.



And now I'm done with this subject because I already feel like I've revealed more about myself than I ought. <cough>

I can understand the fascination. I personally don't like humiliation videos myself, but I have watched them. There is a certain allure in using, and being used. It's raw, basic sex. Nothing romantic about it whatsoever. Just the hard, rough, push-pull aspect of pleasure.

I agree it can be hot. I don't fancy it, but I do understand it.

Vice: Excess
Sin: Wrath

I don't see the problem with that. At the end of the day there's no conclusive evidence whether there's an afterlife or not, so what's so bad with making the most of earthly pleasures while you're still breathing?

The goal is happiness and "the good life." Pleasure is a part of that, but not all of it. The satisfactions of accomplishing difficult things that are worth doing are also part of it, for example, among many other things. Sometimes - often - these require forgoing pleasure, perhaps temporarily, perhaps forever in some cases. (Marrying and having a family closes off the pleasures of promiscuous sex, for example.) These things are obvious when someone comes right out and says them, at least to those of us who try to live balanced lives, but I still think it's worth saying them because it's much "cooler" and popular to say things that are actually contrary to them. So consider me designated Aristotlean school marm.

BTW, back in the day I had a stash under my bed very similar to the one you describe. I didn't have written descriptions but I didn't need them - I knew the kind of buzz each variety delivered, and would choose based on my mood. But this particular pleasure did not directly interfere with my living a balanced life. (I eventually realized it did in indirect ways though.)

Hatred of the world and people in general. Is that a vice or a philosophy? Or a philosovice?

More of an attitude actually.

The term for it is Xenophobia.

Or is it a belief system?

I think it's more of a thought system, true. I don't so much hate people as much as I hate any interaction with them unless absolutely necessary.

Vice - Weed

Not even my closest smoking-friends know about the little box under my bed, where I keep small samples of weed that have struck me as remarkable, and have a written description of the effects of each one...


Sin - Is hedonism a sin?

Can I visit your house? Hide under the bed even? Or in it. Your choice.

 

[shereads]

Indecision...Procrastination.

I can't deal with this right now.

 

[shereads]

Avarice.

It's a pretty word, isn't it? Avarice.

"Lady Avarice, chateleine of Castle Impatience, paced the battlements."

[matriarch]

Just to clarify:

I meant 3

Well if we're going on a fault in one's character...then for me there are two.

Laziness and impatience. All wrapped up in a very volatile temper.

It does?
