RIGHT.
So far, in the past 16 years of my life, how I managed, I have committed all 7 deadly sins.
I looked up the punishments, and I'm in for a fun time in Hell if I get there (and if they want me)

Hmmm, interesting questions.. (semantics arguing aside...)
What is my "sin"? - Envy
What is that my "sin"? - Hmm.. I suppose it is a little hard to describe. But I really dislike myself, and see myself as quite inferior to other people (it's not too much of an issue for me in most respects, it's just my life process). That being said, for some aspects of life, I am envious of the more "happy, living people" I seem to always see.
You can choose up to 3 sins. - Hmm, Maybe a bit of slothful nature at a few points in my life, but I would say that is more due to events that were out of my control in my life, other than that, I would say that the idea of "envy" is probably to closest one to something I commit~
(But still, I'd like to think I am actually quite "innocent and pure."
Once again, semantics.)

I don't have a very high opinion of the seven sins, or sins of any kind. They'r outdated, archaic, and their original versions are irrelevant today (Religiously, Pride has more to do with the sin of being self-confident and independent enough to have no need for your god).
But with more modern interpretations, and for laffs, my three main sins are:
Sloth - It has affected my schoolwork, and is currently contributing to certain anxiety (University) and boredom (too lazy to do anything useful, eventually gets to you).
Greed - I enjoy my modern privileges, and the materialistic "stuff" available to me while i live with my parents (In the process of moving out. Don'th ave that much money myself). I also enjoy collecting stuff, including Magic: The Gathering, Mangas, books, and of course video games (Trying to limit myself to only buying Guild Wars 2 and Total War: Shogun 2, but Dragon Age 2 and Arkham Asylum look awesome as well). It costs money, which i don't have much of.
Lust - After 20 years and still no relationship in sight, the need to satisfy some basic human needs are starting to surface.

Yeah, I like food.
But, why are these still sins? Seems to me that in reality they account for the spectrum of human emotion. If you're a determinist objectivist like myself.

A little bit of everything, if mostly pride and wrath.
As I tie my ethical evaluation to actual harm, not mere thoughts, I don't consider any of these traits to be "sinful" as such. Character flaws perhaps, to some extent, though I'd consider complete lack of them to be just as flawed.

Anger: I've got a short, short fuse and a hard time knowing when to stop shouting/ranting/etc
Gluttony: Don't see it as a sin, but as an enthusiastic cook who eats everything she creates, no matter how mangled it gets or how wrong it goes, plus the whole just paling loving food thing, it would have to be there.
Envy: Do I even need to explain this one?
I would have said lust, but I don't think you can count it as a sin (so to speak) if it's entirely unfulfilled (and frustrating). Or can you? i guess that and envy would tie for third then.

Greed and Pride.
Deadly duo, there. I'm greedy about a few things. I want a countless number of books and games, to the point of irrationality. This may be nerdy, but I also want to learn way too damn much. I know I can't major in Psychology, Physics, English, Computer Science, Classics, and Statistics but I want to so bad it visibly frustrates me.

Probably Greed...I like having stuff so what? If that makes me a horrible person then I guess I will burn in hell...lol.
All of them to some extent, although I think the concept of sin is rather silly(yet a very good theme).
Hmm, I can't think of any that applies to me particularly. Perhaps Sloth, but I'm not THAT lazy. Pride is probably higher on that list, but still not quite there...

All of them to varying degrees.
Edit- Greed- Depends on your specific definition... but I am greedy regardless. xD
Lust- Horny as Hell. ;D
Envy- This is just me all over. haha *sigh*
Gluttony- I eat ALOT (and yet stay thin
)
Anger/Wrath- I think everybody is this. I have a short temper and hold grudges though.
Sloth- I really can't be bothered explaining...
Pride- And I am proud of all of the above. ^.^ (and a lot of other things... >.>)
