Glutton for…Everything
This week’s Girl Talk Thursday is all about vices.
If I have any vice that matches up with Dante’s Big Seven, it would have to be gluttony, and not just for food & drink. I want to taste, feel, do, experience everything.
I love to eat and try all kinds of new foods. I love to play. I love to connect with as many people as possible in different ways (Hellooooo Twitter addiction) and to laugh, and talk, and eat and drink some more.
I am impatient. I want to indulge in a lot of things, and when I decide what I want to try next, I want it now. 
While a little anticipation is nice ( I actually enjoy the wait for Christmas, for example) I do not handle long delays of gratification well. When I don’t get what I want, I can easily revert to behavior befitting a petulant six year old, or Veruca Salt from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
“I want the world, I want the whole world!”
So I guess there’s a little greed in there, too. But it’s a greediness for information, sensations and experience, rather than for stuff. I can spend all day on Google Reader checking out blogs, and design websites, and forums, and then run off to go try something I read about there. Later, I’ll invite a friend over to try it out with me and share a glass of wine, so we can indulge together. Is being an Enabler a vice, too? Hmm…
*64 more days, in case you were curious.
64 days. You’re evil. lmao
I want to taste, feel, do, experience everything.
I can totally relate to that. BOY, can I. If what I have now is good, more is better, right? Ha. Veruca Salt am I.
I think your lust for life and experiences is a really good vice to have. I often see people who are content with the same square patch of life for the rest of their lives… and yet there’s so much more to the world. Good for you for going out there and taking some of it for yourself.
See, this is why I love you Juliana Finch. I would agree that your vice is that you want to experience everything, but I really see it as a good thing. The best part about being your friend is knowing that at some time or another, you’ve had a similar experience because you just go out and do everything that you want. Eating, drinking, going places.. It’s really quite wonderful.
Keep being so sinful!
