Guilty Pleasures
Everyone has them. I'm not talking food here, folks =) I've got a few, and I have to keep it really quiet/basically a secret from even my closest friends and family. So let's get it out here! =P
1. I'm into anime. There I said it. I make and watch AMVs all the time, I write fanfiction, I watch the japanese editions of shows. My personal favorites have always been "Naruto" and "Yu-Gi-Oh" (it's actually a pretty dark and mature show in Japan). Most high school kids who are into anime are laughed at, let alone sophomore girls. So...I have to keep it quiet.
2. I LOVE Video Games. I'm not talking about just Wii Sports and Mario Party...I'm a pretty hard core gamer. Again, not many 15 year old girls are into this too...
3. I'm a sucker for vampire fiction. Oh I love it so much, no matter how cliche. My personal favorite is the "Twilight" series, but a lot of teens love that series, no matter who they are.
4. I still watch cartoons aimed at younger kids. I would watch Spongebob over The Real World anyday.
There...that felt awesome saying it =P. Your turn.
But my top favs:
-I know you said no food....but I'm a barista so my iced coffee w/ soy is probably the top (i sadly can't remember a day where I've missed it!)
-Friends dvds (preferably season 7:P) -knitting! haha seriously! -def! celebrity gossip magazines for sure -and pedicures...those keep me happY!
So my guilty pleasures are going to have to be...
1. I listen to Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, and Avril Lavigne on occassion. I'm open about my love for Backstreet Boys but I keep my CDs for these three hidden from my fiance.
2. Garlic. It turns me on. There's something so... enticing.. about the scent of garlic wafting out of the kitchen, especially if Alex is the one cookin' it.
3. Wearing Alex's dirty jeans. Just.. You know, if he's worn them already, I've got to wear them at least around the house for a little while. They're so comfortable, they make me feel better especially when I'm sick, and they make me feel sexy?
By guilty pleasures I take it that you mean things I enjoy, but normally resist telling anyone about. So, here it is:
1. I really enjoy making up my face. Sometimes when I'm bored or have free time, I'll break out all my makeup and do really elaborate things with my eyes and lips. A lot of times, this also leads to a closet session; I start trying on a dizzying array of outfits from my closet, sort of like shopping without having to spend any money. I picture telling that to people and having them shake their heads and say "Wow, you really need to get out more." lol
2. I love 80's rock. I don't mean that it's all I like, but that it does have a special place in my heart. Hey, it's what I grew up with!
3. This last one, I can't even believe I'm going to say this... I enjoy correcting people in my head. I almost never actually bring it to their attention, but I do get a weird sort of pleasure from picking out grammatical/spelling errors and rearranging those words in my head into a more pleasing form. On this site alone, for example, you'd be amazed at the number of people who can't spell "lose." They always spell it as "loose" for some reason.
-I LOVE music by the Spice Girls, Hanson, Backstreet Boys, and other old 90's teenybopper bands. They're the bands I used to love in middle school, so I guess they kind of stuck with me over the years. I would never admit it to anyone but I still love to sing along if I ever hear "Wannabe."
-Trashy daytime talk shows. I know most of them are probably made up, but I love stuff like Jerry Springer, and the somewhat less abrasive Maury.
-Diet Coke. I can seriously put this stuff away. I work at Subway, and on nights that I work I just keep refilling my cup. I know it's not "good for you", necessarily, but I really eat healthy pretty much the rest of the time, and it has no cals, so I figure if it's my one vice I'll be ok.
That's all I can think of for now... fun post by the way!
I actually like a few reality shows... America's next top model, all those weight loss/exercise shows (except biggest loser. hate that one) and fashion designing ones.
I would secretly love be able to dress goth... but if I did start wearing those clothes most my friends would refuse to be seen in public with me. And then there's the need to look professional.
My son is an anime fan and through him i totally love Bleach.
I love Survivor and The Biggest Loser.
I'm a Paula Deen addict and want to be her when I go up or at least go gray.
Oh and I'm 38 and I love Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games on the Wii.
Also love blogging. Guilty pleasure because I have a job and a business on the side that i should be tending to but instead...blogging.
Survivor is my favorite show and has been since 3rd grade. I'm just not guilty about it XD
I love Anime...and secretly...I REALLY REALLY want to cosplay one day...but like everyone of my friends thinks that dorky beyond belief....hehe
I dance in front of the window every week with the lights on so I can see my relflection....EVERYONE "knows/thinks' I can't dance...hahaha. I really want to go clubbing one day...my best friend goes ALL the time, and has been trying to make me go for the past like 2 years.. but I keep refusing her from slight embarssment
I LOVE Hip Hop music...don't know why but most people don't know that about me. My majority of music on my ipod is rock and some pop and some japanese music but I have a fair size of hip hop....and like; Chris Brown makes me weak in the knees <3 hehehehe
i basically have the same ones as some of you.
1- i love giving myself a "fakeover" when i'm bored. i'll throw on a full face of makeup, do my hair in different ways, and try on different outfits, trying to find new ways to wear the clothes i have. i really want new ones, but what's the point when they won't fit in a few months?!
2- glamour magazine. i'd like to think i've evolved past the lip-glossy mags -- i didn't read them at all when i was a teenager -- but i picked one up at the airport a few years ago, and now i friggin' love'em!
3- i really like ridiculously dirty romance novels. the tame 18th century, or modern day single-mom dramas? no thanks. i like the throw-caution-to-the-wind, take-the-bull-by-the-horns crazy stuff. it's better than eating a candy bar!
4- i like writing ridiculously dirty romance scenes. i fancy myself a writer-hobbyist, and i write them when i'm bored, or when what i've read just isn't steamy enough. do i have a problem?

mezzo, PLEASE go clubbing with your girlfriend. no one at the club can dance, believe me! no one's gonna make fun of you b/c of your moves. it'll be too dark and too tightly packed for anyone to single you out b/c of your dancing. maybe b/c some guy thinks you're hot, but not b/c you're dancing so bad. 
just do it! you'll feel so much better once you have!
I would absolutely LOVE to get piercings all over but probably will NOT because of the stodgy business world I live in. I got my belly button pierced in 2005 because the only other person who would see it was my b'friend at the time. Unfortunately, you are not supposed to go swimming for like 4 months after you pierce and that just KILLED me, so I'd drink a cocktail out by the pool, then use the tumbler to "cup" over my belly button and keep the water off, yeah, like that was going to work. Anyway, I never got infected but my ring kept rubbing up uncomfortably against by high waisted bizness pants and finally I just took it out. My plan now is to lose the belly fat, wear lower waisted pants and get pierced again. I would love to pierce right below my lower lip and perhaps my nose but at 42, have become too sensitized by the business world that pays my bills.
Alcohol/clubbing/parties
Trashy celebrity/porn star gossip (with pictures!)
Erotica/porn
Sex toys
Obsessive calorie counting
Putting my daughter in front of Sesame Street while I shower alone
I like to catch the enterntainment gossip commentary on the radio on my way to work.
I will browse through Glamour or Vogue - either to laugh at their riduculous notions of "fashion", or to get some ideas. It's about 50/50.
I really liked the movie "Roadhouse."
I pay attention to the the shows that my son watches on Nickelodeon and PBS. You know you've watched it too much when you find yourself engaged in an Arthur episode, and thinking "Why is Francine friends with Muffy?"
I like playing the games in Webkinz world (using my son's account....).
2) Video Games--MMOs and RPGS. I mightily conceal this fact from people at work (I am an attorney--I am 31 yrs old-- and I just know they won't understand since they are all in their 40s, 50, and 60s and to them video games are like pong, pacman, etc.)
3) Watching South Park. One time my wife and I were having dinner with my boss and his wife and she was telling them that we watch South Park. I had to like nudge her under the table. Later on I was like "watching South Park is not quite like admitting that you watch the Simpsons."
4) I use to watch Anime, but lol, I stopped since some of the Japanese hardcore ones just seem wrong. (Not to be confused with real pornography which is a quite normal and healthy thing. However, some of the Anime stuff can be quite.......disturbing). Btw, I know that the prior posters probably were NOT referring to the more extreme hardcore anime when they said they liked anime. Its just that when my friends first introduced me to anime, it was the extreme kind that I first saw.
1.) I like watching bad daytime TV; this includes stuff like the Family Feud, those court-TV shows Judge Judy/Joe Brown/Alex, and, of course, Maury (I AM ONE BILLION PERCENT SURE HE'S MY BABY DADDY!)
2.) Bad movies. I adore bad movies. I know what a good movie is, but I love watching crappy/mediocre movies as well, especially horror movies: P2, Saw IV, The Messengers :P. I love Asian triad/wuxia movies a lot (in their original languages).
3.) Anime/video games/MMORPGS. Childhood obsession. I used to play Ragnarok Online and Guild Wars...more recently my friend is trying to get me to start Maple Story. I'm 22, but apparently the age of the average video-gamer is getting older, so I don't feel as silly. Oh yeah, I love flash games too 
...jayisgames.com, SFW.
4.) I love looking at fashion and haute couture. I keep up with Project Runway religiously! I think John Galliano is both insane and awesome.

I used to watch shows like Maury's, until 99% of it became lie detector tests and paternity tests. I prefer when they have some weird story, or like nerds turned to hotties.
I also play video games, and probably won't stop, I'll be the cool mom/grandma who plays video games with the kids :P
