Your Guilty Pleasure

[sixtyandaquarter]

Everyone has a guilty pleasure, something they do or enjoy but don't want others to know. Something that would be embarrassing for others to know.

Post yours! You don't have to post them all, you can post one and later post more, or post all of 'em at once if you want to get it all over with. I'll go first, but I like prolonging things so I'll be back to say any others I feel like sharing, but I'll post two to get it out of the way, and people could easily laugh at it and post their own so let's go!

I'm a musical whore. I love musicals. Put a musical on, and watch me sing. It's the only thing (nearly) that will make me sing in public. I will watch any musical I can get my hands on, and by the end of every song I'll be singing along with the chorus. I don't care if it's in English, I'll watch damn near any musical with a good soundtrack.

I also secretly love chick flicks. I get teary eyed and everything. Beaches killed me. I didn't get teary eyed with that one, I didn't shed a tear - I actually cried. :'( Cried! And yet, when it's on cable I must watch it again.

There, get your laughs on at my guilty pleasures, and laugh at yourself as you post yours!

Lol! Well ... I assume this should stay PG-rated, so I'll keep it clean. :'O

I laughed at the chick flick thing; I can't stand them. And I'm a chick! ;')

I have several. I'll list a few.

1. I LOVE biting my nails. I've been doing it since I was four, and I don't swallow the bits, I just love the feeling of chewing on them. Don't know why. As a chick it's a little annoying, since my husband wants back scratches and my mother would scold me about it and the other girls sorta made fun of me, but when I'm alone and not gaming, typing, or drawing, one of my fingers is being gnawed on. I keep them clean so atleast I'm not eating filth .... And if I am, I don't think it'd stop me :'O. This addiction will never be shaken. Atleast it's better than smoking! :'D

2. Enya and the Eurythmics. When I'm around people I blast Zeppelin and Skynyrd like crazy, but when I'm trying to reach my "creative place" and I have earbuds in, I'm playing Enya and all that hippie, moody instrumental crap.

3. After I wake up at 4 PM on the weekends, I go downstairs and "rest my eyes" for another 1-2 hours on the couch in the den. In a given weekend day I doubt I'm actually "awake" for more than 10 hours :'D. I do work a LOT though. And there are insomnia troubles. But mostly I just have a love affair with sleep ;').

Heh heh. I'm a lazy hypocrite with no nails X'D

[JakeyZombie]

I like to lure kids into my lair and bad touch them.

 

[coloratura]

:'D You like... musicals?! *happy dance*
I am a huge musical theatre person! But it's not a guilty pleasure for me. I'm totally open and crazy about it! (Being a girl and a music major, it's easy to have it out in the open!) What are your favorites? I love Spamalot, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Beauty and the Beast, The Sound of Music, The Producers, Phantom, The Last 5 Years, gosh... so many! If movies count, Aladdin, Little Mermaid... anything Disney!

My guilty pleasure is the Disney Channel and Cartoon Network! It's practically all I watch. And Zac Efron. I think he's super cute, though I'd never, ever admit it to anyone ever! :X

 

[Fafnir]

Mine is that my room is filled with models of giant japanese robots(Gundam, Eva, etc.). More of a nerdy pleasure really. But I just find them fun to put together and display, and they look cool in my opinion.

Hell, animation and comics in general could be considered my guilty pleasure.

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

@ coloratura,
I don't see a lot of theater musicals, but: hair spray, spamalot, the producers, fiddler on the roof even, and just about anything.
Love Disney musicals such as Little Mermaid (which is one of my favorite movies actually) - but my favorite animated musical (like) is The Last Unicorn. And yep, I watch the Disney channel, toon disney, cartoon network, nick. Hell, when it's early in the morning I'll watch PBS child shows and nick jr. Though being a 25 year old guy - this gives me lots of goofs.

Guilty Pleasure Numbah Tree: Winnie the Pooh. I may be the only 25 year old who has -right next to all the slasher and zombie flick dvds- a collection of Winnie the Pooh movies and specials.

 

[Sketch]

My guilty pleasure?

I used to watch the OC. Religiously :P.

Then it got Fox stupid.

 

[MidnightSpider]

@coloratura: Disney Channel and Cartoon Network are the best channels ever!XD
I also think Zac Efron is cute but its not one of my secrets everyone knows that lol

@sixtyandaquarter: I also cry at chick flicks. I get teased a lot by my friends and family.

My guilty Pleasures,

1. Eat more crap then anything healthy but don't gain weight (People would hate me if they knew that)

2. Like to top other people's stories (Don't know why but I take pleasure in it....)

3. Act younger then I am most of the time

 

[JakeyZombie]

I've got the best one.
I eat those big tubs of yogurt in one sitting...
I don't know.

Yup

 

[Venetia]

lol @ pyramid head, but that's why I said I assumed this was rated PG ;'D.

Another G.P. from Venner:

I love getting away with lies. I don't lie very often, but when I do I'm very good at it and it's like a painting to me--I like to see it finished, well executed, realistic, and very colorful.

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

I carry something pink for a boost when I feel I'm going to need it.
It dates back to an ex who for-whatever-reason made me paint one finger nail pink to relax and remind me of things when I was blamed in a suicide letter.
Ever since then whenever I feel like I'm up shit's creak I carry or wear something with a little pink on it secretly. When I went to a group thing recently, I was extremely upset so I exchanged the catch on my earing (whatever you call that thing that's behind your ear and clips to the post) for a pink one. Just a little mental reminder.

No one in real life knows. Only on the internet now.

 

[Venetia]

Aw, I've never felt so close to you, Sixty. Not that I feel hugely close right now, since you're 1100 miles away ;')

It almost seems like mostly everyone's too scared to post their G.P's here, but since Sixty made an example of himself I will too, again.

Spoiler: Kinda sad G.P.

I like to pretend I'm an apathetic jerk sometimes. That's right, I like to. Because in reality I'm not. Sometimes I care too much. Most of my friends walk all over me because I'm so giving. I'm always the one to volunteer when you need a ride, even when it's fifty miles away. I'm the one who offers a shoulder and buys dinner and rounds for friends who are down. I'm the one who actually makes gifts for peoples' special occasions (cool ones, like photo albums or custom paintings). I'm the one who ALWAYS listens and has advice for ANYONE who needs it, regardless of our relationship. I volunteer to read peoples' stories and poetry and I critique them with all I've got. I'm always there on time, because I'm accountable, and I never want to let anyone down.

But I also am always the one who is let down, who is walked all over. Nobody pays my tab or listens to me b!tch about life's problems. Nobody gives me a call when I post a depressed blog entry, nobody reads my novels. Nobody feels like going out with ol' Ven when she wants to get some sushi. Sounds like I'm being melodramatic but damn I wish this wasn't true. So far as I know I have a good personality ... I just have the tendency of liking flakes, and the non-flakes move away :'/.

So I like to pretend I'm apathetic. It's easier to not get let down that way. But I don't really admit it to anyone ;').

Okay, the pity party has left the building ;'D

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

Vennie, wanna go out for some sushi? 50 miles, 1100 miles, same dif right? C'mon, I'll read your novels.

Guilty Pleasure:
I love exposing myself for who/what I really am. I actually really dislike holding things back - though I will just to take measure of people in odd ways. But I do this most with people I'm not close to. I'll tell a strange my life story, everything I'm afraid to admit - anything, but not my closest friends most of the time.
But I love having a back and forth conversation with strangers just admitting to stuff. They admit, you admit, it's the whole judgelessness... well not reallyl, it's just you don't want to be impolite so you act as if it's all okay.

 

[Anglachel]

My GP (sounds like RPG money :P ) is pretty ironic if I post it on these forums. You see my guilty pleasure is actually RMXP.

Might be a little hard to explain and actually get people to understand. You see, I'm still in high school. I'm in the cool, popular, sporty group of the school. I am pretty sure they wont be kind of the idea that I'm making RPGs in my spare time. Sound shallow? Maybe, but its true. This way I get the best of both worlds.

Spoiler: Venetia

I'm exactly like that, I get it from my mum I think, but I don't get much pleasure in being apathetic hah. I'm always the one to listen to peoples problems, but normally they never care about mine. Still then you appreciate it a little bit when someone decides not to tell you anything anymore... maybe. Your first paragraph reminds me of Sephirothspawn too.

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

I haer ya Anglachel. Like me and my pink articles and Winnie the Pooh enjoyment while hanging out with people who think dressing up is torn jeans and a black band shirt with a leather wrist strap.

BTW I even had my hair dyed pink once, since I brought it up. I was an accident but I actually thought it was the coolest my hair ever looked.

 

[Venetia]

lol! My hair was purple once. Bright orange, too. I always wanted it pink but as some people here know I was kicked out at an early age (16) and had to interview for jobs ... Which ain't so easy with pink hair. The purples and oranges were products of my more drunken haze while I was stumbling through being fourteen and fifteen :'O. Now it's dark auburn and I think this is my favorite.

And Sixty, I <3 our back-and-forths too, ;'D

One day you me and Anglachel gotta meet somewhere for sushi and b!tch sessions. ;')

What's the midpoint between Florida, New York, and Australia? Probably somewhere in Africa. Hmm. Maybe let's do Spain instead? I know a great little town there ... (lol)

 

[Anglachel]

Haha seems like its just us 3 spamming up these forums :P Spain sounds cool, although you might have to pay for my ticket... I used to learn Spanish too. Never tried sushi so that would be an experiance, although I didn't know it was a specialty of Spains

My hair has never changed colour. So interesting.

lol@Sixty. Who knows what else I would do if I didn't feel the need to limit myself to concur with society's percieved rules.

I have a few more guilty pleasures but they aren't too interesting. First, I don't know if anyone here knows this, but Australia is suffering from a water shortage (well parts of it). And I take really long showers. So bad, yet I can't help it.

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

GP:
I enjoy spamming threads with people, mainly this thread right now. But unless I can find me a boat to sail to Paris and barter for passage on a carnival heading for Spain, there's no way I'm gonna make it.
