Guilty Pleasures

I was asked today what things I was "into" that I wouldn't necessarily freely admit?... What an interesting question! Maybe some of you have better ones, but I found it kind of fun to decide what things are true (and somewhat funny, too!) I'd love some comments on this post. REALLY>>>>>> I want comments!
Here are a few:

-Listening to Justin Timberlake and even, Britney Spears, on occasion. Catchy music, is, well, catchy...
-Watching bad television when I'm exhausted.
-When I'm depressed, giving in to the momentary wake of emotion, just because.
-Averaging 3-4 days (Okay...Sometimes seven days...) to return calls. Sorry to all of you I have made wait!
-Showing up fashionably late to a party. (What? You've done it, too.)
-Deciding that love is hell.
-Deciding that love is fabulous.
-Having a crush on someone that is all wrong for me.
-Having a crush on someone who is hopelessly unavailable.
-Playing hard-to-get dating games. (Yes, I do it, too.)
-Enjoying a chick flick now and again (Sounds basic, but for me, it isn't because I actually have decent taste in films)
-Chocolate-covered strawberries (I don't really like chocolate except in this context)
-Ace of Base, Aqualung and other bad 90s bands, and even some bands that only use drum machines and call it music ***gasp!
-Chuckling when someone cuts me off and I find a way to "box" them in, so they can't move forward after they try to speed past a few undeserving cars on the road
-I spend money at the coffee shop like mad. Really, I do.
-Ice cream (yum!!!!!!!!!)
-Grinning when I find someone doesn't like me (and they don't have a reason, even better!)
-Watching cute footballers play The Game (Soccer, by the way, is The Game, AKA Football! in every country except the U.S. by the way)

  1. My, that is a great question. I will have to brainstorm what my guilty pleasures are. You know, there's a book out that is called "Endangered Pleasures: In Defense of Naps, Bacon, Martinis, Profanity and Other Indulgences." I skimmed it when I saw it in a shop recently - it looks interesting. Not that I would agree with everything the author says, but I like her honesty. It would be a fun book to discuss. She lists driving without her seat-belt as one of her guilty pleasures, and that would be one of mine, too. I also like to blast the car radio and roll down the windows on country roads when a good song is on. ;-)

  2. Ok, I'm definitely responding since you pleaded for some comments =)

    I just have to say that you're guilty pleasures revealed a lot about you and I'm especially bitter about the averaging 3-4 days to return calls... although you have been getting better. Oh.. and of course I loved the comment about football (The only real sport).

    Some of my guilty pleasures:

    -Watching back to back movies after a long few days at work (Really helps me relax and zone out)
    -Getting two scoops of ice cream at Rite-Aid
    -Waiting until the last minute to complete a task (just to create more of a challenge for myself)
    -Packing in more activities over the weekend then I have time and sometimes double booking
    -Ignoring my alarm at 6:30am and sleeping in to 9am
    -Letting my laundry pile up until I have to watch 4 loads because I waiting so long (or buy new clothes... hehe)

    I'm sure there are more but that's it for now.

  3. I try to avoid feeling guilt about what I enjoy, even when that involves blasting Aqua and singing along.
