Guilty Pleasures

List 'em guise!! My particular vices are

The Cleveland Show: I really should know better

Microwaveable Donor Kebabs: Eating one of these bad boys presents as much of a social stigma as wearing a bell around your neck. Half a days calories ingested in 3 minutes flat. Yummers!

Chris De Burgh: I may as well be a middle-aged woman drunk on gin crying away with mascarra running down my face

No doubt i'll think of many many more. But what are your particular shameful loves?

    My guilty pleasure is Dragonball. And it's less a guilty pleasure than it is a guilty obsession. I listen to a Dragonball-related podcast more or less every week, I know the names of many voice actors in both the english dub and the original Japanese, I know many of the names and styles of animation directors and far too much behind-the-scenes information. Basically, I over-analyze a show meant for the 8-12 year-old market. I'm the person they made the American iteration of the Dragon Box sets for.

    I'm ashamed.

    ICP is my guiltiest pleasure. I was a juggalo as a teenager, and it's hard to stop listening to songs you used to love.

    I'm also a bit embarrassed by the extent of my love for Avatar. I always wanted to learn another language... little did I know it'd be one made for a movie. And to think I used to scoff at people who spoke Klingon. Seems we are aysmukan in geekiness after all. :p

    I don't think I have any guilty pleasures, because "Guilty" is the key word there. I like Queen, no shame in that. I like Sam and Max, again no shame.

    My addiction to Deadpool may count, but just maybe

    Guilty pleasures are eating things high in sugar, which would make me fat. Im very strict on my diet so i remain in shape. Another guilty pleasure for me is when i eat stuff high in cholesterol as i struggle to keep it on my normal levels.

    Nonrelated food, my guilty pleasure is naruto and one piece. But where i live very few know em and cant understand why i see it. I also consider playing video or pc games are guilty pleasures in a way. As people consider those nerdy activities which i clearly believe i arent.

    My guilty pleasure is South Park. As horrible as it is with the cultural stereotypes, I like to tell myself that it's okay for me to think it's funny since they make fun of my own background on almost a weekly basis. :3

    I used to feel guilty pleasure when i played WoW w/ a subscription usingf my own money.
    I felt i wasnt putting to good use my money and that i could have done lots of better things with it than to play WoW. So i stopped playing WoW and paying it.

    I like monocles. I don't have one. Nor do I know anyone who does. But I sure wish they never went out of fashion. They're so cool!

    I can't think of any guilty pleasure.
    Maybe I'm just shameless.

    The word guilty is throwing me off here. I don't feel ashamed of any of my obsessions/hobbies. But I guess there are things that some of my friends have chuckled at (but I just believe they don't see the innate majesty in it). So I guess I don't believe I'm the guilty one for liking it but rather them, for not having an open mind.

    With all that said, I have been told that this is something I should feel awkward about....but I don't, it's a fantastic bit of fun with lots of famous comedians.

    Edit: The awkward part is probably that I re-watch it on a somewhat regular basis.

    I place guilty pleasures as things that other people (say parents) can guilt trip you about. Such as the "Why are you spending money on this when you should be getting a job or studying for school?" classic guilt trip.

    I don't know if this is a guilty pleasure, per se, but I (used to) collect Star Wars Lego. I've still got what I have set out on my desk :)

    Whining, moaning, complaining, and annoying about TF2; any recent updates, the horrible drop system, ugly hats etc.

    I shouldn't but I do. So satisfying.

    Mine is music I have no business liking. I'll say exactly what music if/when I work up the nerve.

    Also, Kim Possible for some reason, though that's one I hardly ever indulge.

    We won't judge (much). Do tell. :D To soften the blow, I'll share one: I enjoy not one, not two, but THREE Ace of Base songs. :o

    I'm definitely not going to make the mistake to google a song that's apparently that addictive.

    I'm trying to find more audiostuff to listen to while knitting. They're called "saga MP3" in French but I have no clue about the English name. You know, like webcomics, only audio.
    Anyway, trying to find more of these to follow, I got a SD card just for them for my MP3 player and it's not nearly full!
    Also, I'm slowly typing up my knitting patterns so I can have them as ebooks on my reader. Need to get a hold of a scanner someday so I can keep the pictures too, as they can be useful.
    Talking about this made me realise I still haven't added table of contents to most of my omnibus ebooks (likem all volumes of one series in a single ebook, or collections of short stories, things like that), which I'll have to finally get to doing. The earlier I can remember how to, the better, since I'll definitely need a TOC for pattern ebooks.

    Oh, and I'm having a lot of trouble finding audio version of stand up comedy. What happened to that? I used to have lots, surely they're still available somewhere!

    I'm also thinking that between my sagas, speeches, comedian routines, audiobooks, radioplays, etc, etc, I'd never survive if I had to use one of these "shuffle only" players.
    Heck, even for opera and stuff that wouldn't be very practical.

    EDIT: oops, for some reason I thought this was the "whatever's on your mind" thread. Sorry.

    I own and enjoy all three High School Musical movies. Not planning to do that with High School Musical 4 though as it lacks the original cast.

    I'm currently downloading all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

    For that matter, I still have a huge box full of all my old toys from the first four Power Rangers series.

    How old am I, again?
