Jealous

I doubt it. Don't know. Don't know. No.
Yes definitely.

i thought of that actually, but the word jealous has kind of taken over from envy in everyday speech maybe?

Fuck everyday speech!

I can't imagine why anybody'd be jealous of me *smirk*

I'm jealous of Millar because of his sexy bosses and his low-pressure work environment.

Definitely not -- check out the ilx life swap for proof of that. I'm not envious of anyone in particular, but I am envious of people in general who have the means to do things like travel or get more education that I just don't have the money to do.

Yes. Not saying. Because people are drawn to me more than to them. No they don't.

I'm jealous of the people at my work who look at porn all day and get paid a quarter million to do it.

I bet I'd be jealous of myself if I wasn't me

Yes they are and yes I am.

i have loads of silly envies that don't really deserve much contemplation. i'm more comfortable now with who i am and what i'm doing. the past is still a problem in that i'll be envious of someone who's 'achieved' or 'experienced' more than i have in terms of what i'd aspire to have achieved or wanted to experience, but that's life - it's fine - and things do tend to balance out.

i was notoriously (but never dangerously) envious of a friend of mine for years. i would sort of make subtle jokes to him and others and the gist was that i really was jealous but just trying to play it down in a jokey way, which was okay - he didn't mind this and we remained friends so obviously i never actually resented him (tho i did think about seeing and speaking to him less often for a while just to get a better perspective cos i feared bitterness would creep in). he'd always have great anecdotes to tell and was generally what you'd call a 'lucky' person - the spawniest guy i've ever met in fact. i felt like he had a perfect life, in my view. then one day his Dad who was by no means old or unhealthy got cancer and no-one was sure why or what the cause was. after a routine battle a couple of years later he passed away and my friend's world and 'perfect' life was shattered forever. it was awful. when i heard of course i was sad, but at times something crept into my head that there was some warped form of balance taking place. this was not schaudenfreude by any means. i even felt guilty for thinking this. but i figured that there are people like him whose lives are lived to both extremes - he's experienced intense forms of hedonism i have not (and i probably wouldn't even want or see worth in, at least not now i'm older and wiser), and he's experienced painful situations i have not. the metaphor i applied to it was in climate terms he would be like California - usually idyllic but with this 'once in a blue moon' threat of a devastating earthquake - and i'm like London (ever-changing spells but never anything extreme). but i guess i analysed it waaay too much huh? ;)

are people jealous of you?
hmmm, maybe some at first but then they get to know me and they can't take me that seriously any more. I've got a silly sense of humor.

who?
Um, strangers I guess.

why?
I dunno. Why not? (don't answer that)

do they admit it?
um, sometimes I guess. In a way.

are you jealous of anyone?
Sure, but I've been better at it lately. Usually I get jealous of people in bands that I admire or people with mucho dinero - you know, silly stuff. And I guess sometimes I wish I looked like Bjork or some other ridiculously cute person.

You're a lot cuter than Bjork, Sarah.

gareth should answer

I don't think people are jealous or envious of me. What would they be jealous or envious about? I'm not anyone particularly special, so why would someone want to be that?

I'm not jealous of anyone, according to the proper definitions (N., today you are the linking king!), but I am very envious of half the people I meet up with. Much of what I'm envious of is intangible -- assets a person possesses from the inside rather than the resellable kind. I figure that with monetary things I can work to earn them, but there are things one CAN'T get from a store that make my jaw drop.

And yes, I know about envy being one of the Seven Deadly Sins, but it's the only one I feel I committ on a regular basis. Lord have mercy on my soul.

I am jealous of people's talents, relationships, and anyone who has a G5.
