Guilty Pleasures

[Cinnamon Girl]

OK, now it's Friday afternoon and again I don't feel like working (aren't I the dedicated employee? :zzz: ) and so I'm once more starting a frivolous thread ... so ~ what's your guilty pleasure?

Mine? Well, ummm .... errrr ... reality TV shows. There, I admitted it! Yup, Big Brother, Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Mole ~ I'm addicted. My husband makes such fun of me, says he doesn't understand how I can stand such tripe, and honestly I don't know! But they've got their hold on me! *hangs head in shame*

Alright, so now that I've got that off my chest, anything YOU want to share?
:T

[Melysande]

**is ashaméd** I actually *like* several of the Police Academy movies.

[callalily]

Cheesy '50s horror movies. Preferably ones that star John Agar or have any monster costume where you can see the zipper up the back.

Long live Godzilla!

[WandererInGray]

:D Shiny things!!

[Old Witch]

Same as Wanderers but I will elaborate.......Rubys and Diamonds and Emeralds and Saphires and Citrines and Topaz and..........

[Flaire-FireStar]

MoonOwl- I watch BigBrother too.... :p (I still think the first one was the best. :p)


Hmm... I'll have to say..ketchup chips; no way in heck I can resist those..... :mmm: Or doritos.... or...or granola bars... GUM! Aaagh! I can't refuse gum

[Mithrea]

Two words:

CHEEEEEEEEESY POOOOOOOOFS

[Wicce]

Junk food. I almost never eat it, but it's soooo goood...especially ice cream, and cupcakes, and chocolate! And Chinese food...mmm. Hehe now I want some... :)

[Radocs]

Ultima Online.

[Wicce]

Ultima Online?? How can you stand the lag?? I lag myself to death when I play! :)

[MammaStar]

Soap operas, specifically General Hospital.

I tape it EVERYDAY!!!!! I've been watching since I was 11.

I don't play on the OSI servers anymore. There's more than a few players that have set up their own shards using emulation software so I stick to those now. :)

[Old Witch]

Oh yeah. GH!!

[SpikesPet5150]

The only TV I watch is Buffy. Of course, for those of you who know me, know that I'm completely obsessive about it. It's the best show ever. I don't know what I'm gonna do when the show ends. I might just give up on humanity all together.

I have a hard time saying no to Chelseas London Pub's Long Island Iced Teas. They're so good. Mmm.. thinking about them makes me salivate. LOL

I'm also a sucker for boys with long hair, preferably guitar players. ;)

[Semele]

I just have to watch Emergency Vets and cry my eyes out over the sad tales! I even cried over a stupid garden snake that this little old lady had...I hate snakes!!

[mol]

Programming and computers.

[Old Witch]

Hail mol....Bless mol.........Sweetie, you gotta get out more..........

[Tammy Sullivan]

believe it or not.....Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald not to mention Dean Martin. Guess I should have been born way before I was!!!

[SpikesPet5150]

I had a crush on Dean Martin when I was a kid... hell, lets be honest... I still do LOL :) Glad to know I'm not the only one.
~Bree

[Yvonne Belisle]

My hubbie :)

[earthcat]

video games

old movies/musicals with Alice Faye, Carmen Miranda, Fred & Ginger, Leslie Carron, Audrey Hepburn, Gene Kelly, etc....

kitties

drummers (I married my favorite one...)

anything covered in chocolate:boing:

[Garnet]

The West Wing.
I tape it if I have to work. If I'm not working I refuse all invitations & I don't answer the phone while it's on (not that anyone I know is stupid enough to phone between 8:00 & 9:00 on Wednesdays).

Any show in the 'America's Castles" genre. I love shows about big, fancy houses, especially the outrageous 'Gilded Age' mansions.

CHOCOLATE!

[earthcat]

And....

.........IRON CHEF!!!!!........


Take it away, Otah!

Fnord to that...mmm, long haired musician boys...I like them with pierced nipples. Hehe :D But I don't consider them a guilty pleasure...forget the guilty part ;D

[Old Witch]

Some one else loves "Iron Chef"!!!!!! Yesssss!

[materra]

Reading a whole mystery book in one sitting..especially when I should be doing something else.
Foods I am not supposed to eat due to my health...but do.
My sword...I just love it...shouldn't have bought it...still love it.

[Grey]

Sleeping and I'm way to helpful most of the time.

[Grey]

.........:boing::boing::boing:

[Cinnamon Girl]

Scu-san!

(Or however you spell it!)

:rotfl:

[Cait]

Oooh, Buffy. I love Buffy. I even read Buffy fan-fiction. Actually, reading bad fan-fiction is another guilty pleasure...

Trashy women's magazines...

Oh yes, and I'm rather ashamed to even admit this, but I also play Neopets (http://neopets.com) rather obsessively. I know, I need a life...

[Armitage]

Neopets! AND Yahoo Games!
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Bust-A-Move
Cold pepperoni
Police dramas (anything Law+Order)
E.R.
Animal Planet (Jeff Corwin rocks!)
Chocolate truffles
Small-brew beer
Pokemon
Lots of other cartoons

[flar7]

[Scarlettvixen]

buying jewlrey and not thinking about the price or if i can afford it

[Old Witch]

OK, I'll admit it.....The Crocodile Hunter........

[ShadowStorm]

[Yvonne Belisle]

I have both my hubbie pony tail and my youngest son's as well :)

[earthcat]

My afore mentioned friend/neighbor wants him to donate his hair to the cancer-patient charity.
Although I'd really love to keep it, I think to have it help someone else would be much better than it sitting in my un-mentionable drawer....

[Yvonne Belisle]

That is an excellent cause.

[SpikesPet5150]

Ahh... my newest Guilty Pleasure. Not so new, I guess... but new enough. Jeff. 'Nuff said (for those of you who know me).
~Bree

[Mithrea]

Books. I can't help buying books. ^_^;

Ditto. In my case domains and hosting mostly, books on programming (I have a waiting list of books for when I have money), and people to talk to (not enough of them around and when they are there people get annoyed because they don't know what the hell we're talking about).

And yet almost conversely, Cosmo magazine and makeup.

[materra]

We are guilty about books? :eek: When..How did this happen??

I live in a library...oh, it is an apartment but it is full of books. I would rather buy a book than food...nope no guilt here, not about owning, wanting or having lots and lots of books.

Inhaling them in a single sitting when I need to be doing something else...yeah a really guilty pleasure...otherwise...Books, more books and the shelving to house them... :D

[Silver_Alhena]

Books, and magazines/newpapers.
I buy a paper daily, 2 weekly magazines, sometimes 3, and 3 monthly glossies at least.
Also a book with my big fortnightly food shop. *giggle* and I read every single word and do all the crosswords.

Oh! puzzles as well, logic problems are my faves, but I'm addicted to solitaire on the comp!

[Jeleia]

Those stupid gossip magazines. I know its all bs but I love reading them. heh.

[Garnet]

Ever since I was little, I've been convinced that Heaven/Summerland/Valhalla was a BIG bookstore with all sorts of nooks & crannies to explore. Like Foyle's in London, but with nicer & knowledgable clerks.
With lots of big, comfy chairs.
And with a Godiva store attached.
Oh, and a Schlotsky's Deli attached, too. (Hey, it's my fantasy).

[mooo_mommy]

I pamper myself on company time.. :devil: I do pedicures, manicures and facials while I am working on Sat and Sun.

[ChelleOfShadows]

Oh I am in such turmoil. I have never considered books anything except my one true love. Now I see they are guilty pleasures. Goddess what is the world coming too? I was going to post and beg forgiveness for the container of Ben & Jerry's and now I realize that I was having two guilty pleasures as I re-read my copy of Jane Eyre as I ate it.

<<<<<sigh>>>>>

OK now I'm toptally BUMMED :( 8O :wah: time for that second Ben & Jerry's.........8O *sniffle*sniffle*

[Danustouch]

hmmmmmmm...the wb shows, and upn shows are one of my guilty pleasures. Another is Teletubbies. Hush! Don't laugh so hard! Ya see, it's kinda like being ON drugs, without actually being ON them ;)

Things I spend my money on that I shouldn't...heh...bath bubbles, and candles, and incense by the TON.

Foodwise, actually, i'm pretty well behaved and tame when it comes to sweets, most of the time. One thing that is a guilty pleasure of mine with food, is Sausage or Meatball Grinders. What makes it such a guilty pleasure besides the sheer caloric intake, is that I always crave them late at night, and order out to get them :(

ooohhh.. ditto! I have that aluminum tape.... just cuz its shiny! :D

[earthcat]

I REFUSE to regard my books as anything GUILTY!!!
I WON'T do it!!!
NONONONONO!!!!!:razz:
So what if my house resembles a dump???
I'm flyin' adragonback....
So what if my bills pile up???
I'm exploring a deep dark cave...
So what if the dog is standing in front of me with all 4 legs crossed???
I'm partying with Elves....

GUILTY?!?! Not me!!!!.....

[Emaleth]

I just love the teenage TV soap opers, like "Dawson's Creek' my number one. I watch all repeats :eek: .

And.. I love watching Oprah... But don't tell anyone:blushake:

Blessed Be

[Grey]

ba-bump

[MzNeko]

Hey, I thought we were talking about guilty pleasures!

I share quite a few with others here (cats/Animal Planet/books/Ben & Jerrys...) but don't feel one iota of guilt, shame, embarrassment, sheepishness about them.

Now if you want to talk a guilty pleasure, here's mine...

The Man Show and Son of the Beach

Sigh... I swear, I must have been a guy in my last life or something... :p

Also, I love puns, but I'm not sure that I really feel too guilty about that.

[Rubi Waters]

Ok I love those reality shows too! (boyfriend even knows to tape them for me if I'm not home in time :) )
Chocolate or to be exact peanut m & m's (can't live without them)
and books , books, & more books. (boyfriend built a special bookcase to put in the living room to hold "some" of them)

I've been wondering about that myself MzNeko :)

I can at least (sort of) think of an explanation for the books, I guess. While I was growing up, I got kind of used to other kids looking at me as if I had horns or something when they found out that I actually read for pleasure. Not my close friends, though, they were book freaks too.

What really strikes me as odd is that these days I still sometimes encounter that reaction from other adults. Oh well, I think they're the weird ones. :D
