Guilty Pleasures

[epialesofaergia]

Kids have it so much easier. All they have to do is like something because they like it. They don't care what other people think of what they like. I'm talking really little kids here, before the whole boys think things are girly and girls think... well I don't know what they think, I've never known one younger than twelve.

Anyway, the point I'm getting at here is for one reason or another, adults are forced to deny they enjoy something because of their general image, childish content, etc. etc. Although it seems counter-intuitive to ask people to admit something they're hesitant to admit with the only reasoning behind it being "because I asked," that's exactly what I'm doing.

So let's have it... guilty pleasure in as many forms as possible, not just music/movies. If you have a soft spot for lava lamps, furniture shaped like genitals, or jeggings, I want to hear about it.

My curiosity arose out of a rule that my job recently enforced about headphones (namely that they're not allowed to wear them since they lower awareness of your surroundings). We are only allowed to listen to music through speakers, oddly enough. While flicking through my iPod to find something to play, I was wondering if I had anything that I would actually be embarrassed to play out loud in front of my coworkers. I did, actually:

Spoiler: that dog.

Also, I really like two-tone saddle shoes.

Spoiler: Yea, they're really silly

Bubble wrap

You give me any amount of it, and I don't give a fuck who's watching. I will sit there, pop every bubble, and smile while I do it.

This is probably one of the best decade to have anti-social behaviors in, I myself do not really many pleasures that inspire guilt in me, yes I do things like watch My Little Pony, and I listen to 80's punk as well as other things i am far too tired to list. Now I totally had a point I was working at but I forgot it.

sometimes when I'm about to make an exit I slowly rise to my tipi toes while making rocket ship sounds. confuses the fuck out of people.

Haha, you just reminded me that sometimes when I run I make race car noises.

For me, cute stuff. Power Puff Girls (ORIGINAL, z can go fucking die), IOSYS Touhou songs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLhaCRETM4c], and *sigh*...Precure. Fuck off I'm inexplicably addicted to that last one...no regrets about original Power Puff though. That shit was funny as hell!

I love the feeling of getting a package. I stalk that thing through tracking numbers, wait with anticipation, and then it get delivered. Best feeling ever.

The closest thing thing I have to a guilty pleasure is reading agony aunt columns.

Every week I get together with other people who are nearly 40 and, for a few happy hours, pretend to be an elf. Or a Space Marine. Or a Prince of Amber. Or a Tager.

Does that count?

I make hollow wind noises everytime the room I'm in and the people I'm with fall silent.
Been doing it for 9 years now and it never grows old!

Metal gets you looks everywhere you go.

Especially when you favorite band is a industrial metal band from Germany and the special edition comes with a selection of various size dildos, hand cuffs and lube...

They have a sick sick sense of humour, and it's hilarious when people say "what are you listening to" N i get to explain!

(Btw i'm not saying that the set itself is my guilty pleasure, but the band itself)

I love watching the old episodes (like first season) of Pokemon and the old school Mighty morphin' power rangers as well as The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy and Courage the cowardly dog. Yesterday I was on the phone with a friend and I started singing the old Power rangers theme. After a moment of confusion my friend joined in with the singing and we had a good laugh about it. So yeah, old kid's shows and cartoons are my guilty pleasure

Hmm... Guilty pleasures... Well, let's start: popping bubble wrap, watching Necroscope86 let's plays (He's so gosh darn adorable!), eating jelly beans and popcorn, walking around sans vetemants, singing show tunes, watching 90's cartoons and tv shows, wearing stockings and corsets, watching old movies, and... well that's most of what I can think off the top of my head.
