Do you have any guilty pleasures? Guilty pleasures meaning something you like but are embarassed to admit that you like. I have a fair few....Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill, Georgette Heyer, the Bollywood version of Sense & Sensibility....and on and on.
So what are yours?
Love your sig. That was my most recent guilty pleasure worthy noting (seeing that movie.)

Anime and manga are guilty pleasures of mine. Some more things I like to do that I'd never admit to in public are using a marker to paint myself odd colours, chewing on things that shouldn't be chewed on, looking at art books that have nude paintings in them, and using this site. If I said any more, this topic'd have to be moved to the 'mature AS issues' forum.
Have you ever seen "What the bleep do we know?" The marker thing reminded me of that.

I associate guilt with everthing I find pleasurable! *idiotic grin* (Only half-joking, too)

I've only heard a little bit of it but I think just the sound and flow of his voice is mucally hilarious (though his lyrics are.... *ahem*)

That is a rarity, after being programmed with the worst sort of self-loathing (roman catholic education), plus the viciously aversive control mechanisms of parents who basically hated their children (or at least me - the favourites were treated differently), I wonder whether or not it is possible to have pleasure without feelings of guilt?
Oh, the wonders of socially enforced self-loathing!
If this had happened in the 1990's, at least it would have been recognised as child abuse ...
I knew someone would bring up Catholic guilt!! ! Congratulations on being the one to do it!

As for my main guilty pleasures, I'd say listening to music I burned from my boyfriend is a big one recently (though it was with permission and is actually probably something I should feel better about than listening to Adult Alternative at 19 yeard old). Reading Young Adult fiction is another (I'm rereading Robert cormier at the moment but that's not pleasure, that's masochism- excellent books which will make you want to die). Back to the music, when nobody can hear, hollering along to Alanis Morisette with enourmous facial contortion is another one- I do that driving a lot when I probably shouldn't. Uhhh.... Hmm. That's enough for now, I guess. And, of course, being on this site.
