a reply to: soulpowertothendegree

Way TMI.

Of Chocolate.

Don't ask.

Im a 42 year old IT Professional that has done really well with 23 year career as a high end PBX-Voice-UC Engineer getting ready to finish my CCIE Collaboration and like the OP it's a Sat night and when I should be labbing things out Im watching WWE Smackdown!

THats certainly guilty pleasure number 1 closely followed by guilty pleasure number 2 which is watching the TV show Supernatural.

Chocolate is good. Chocolate covered chocolate is good, too.

Same here about not feeling really guilty and owning it. I get weird look but oh well. It's not like I'm eating the mayo like pudding or anything. Hmmm. I wonder what peanut butter and sardines is like.

I have Mmmm, Bop circulating on my playlist somewhere along with Copacabana ...

Thanks for contributing, everyone. This is exactly what I wanted to read after dragging my boyfriend to the late showing of The Last Witch Hunter, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

A literal answer would be certain JRPGs or other Japanese games. The grindier and more repetitious the better. Xenoblade Chronicles, Earth Defense Force, Record of Asgard War, etc.

A less literal answer in that it isn't a pleasure but is something I end up doing frequently then feeling guilty for, is "long winded rants." I don't always realize how much I talk. Possibly because I'm an Aspie. Yesterday I was doing this about something completely banal, and then someone basically told me to STFU because of what was happening in Paris (I hadn't heard.) I didn't know what they meant so I continued and they really let me have it.

I now loathe myself somewhat for this, and it happens more frequently than I care to admit. *Sigh*

Peace.

If I wasn't an atheist, I would never forgive you for that.

Turning up Heavy Metal type of music when alone.
Last night I almost got caught by my two sons and husband when they came home- I was cooking int he kitchen jumping around and screaming with Rage Against the Machine.
Luckily I heard them slam the car doors in time to go turn it off and compose myself. I like to get out some of my old punk rock tunes from teenage days, too.
For some others, that is not anything to be ashamed of- when you are a 47 year old woman? Ugh, I hate to imagine the scene through someone elses eyes!
Imagine your mom in the kitchen jumping around and screaming at the top of her lungs "F*CK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!"
"Oh hello dearheart! I made you a birthday cake!"

I also have an affinity for chocolate with nuts. When alone, if it hits me, I can eat massive amounts. Embarrassing amounts.

God you lol

Who the heck are you woman

i dont feel guilty about anything. i dont hide anything either but a few things do seem out of character for me i guess.

i love me some chick flicks.
religious art. i have a lot of it. the thing is i do not believe in any of it. i pretty much despise organised religion and i dont understand how people can get duped into believing that #. still though, when i am at garage sales or second hand stores and i see those old school paintings or statues i have to snap them up.
i think i am fascinated that people are fascinated by it.

old school pictured of other people. people i dont know and were never alive in my lifetime. i snap those up to. i have old wedding photo's on my wall of people from 100 years ago.
i just think they are cool.

more weird pleasure than guilty pleasure

a reply to: Bluesma

Heh, we sort of have to own that too.

Our son started grooving in the back seat to Rob Zombie the other day.



So when your 5-year-old is bopping around singing, "Blacken the sun, what have I done ..." and you have to send him back to his Christian school, it gets you a bit anxious. Oops!

Did I mention this song is also circulating on my playlist with Mmm, Bop and Copacabana?

I have a screwed up playlist ...

I've recently developed a guilty pleasure. I have just indulged in it and the glee I felt still warms me

I am alone with no-one to care for me (cue violins) and I don't like cooking or washing dishes but a little wheeze occurred to me last week.

That meagre offering from a tin that I was going to serve up for lunch hardly needed a dish. I could just eat it straight from the saucepan. Not only that, but I didn't need a wooden spoon to stir it, I could just be very careful using the metal one I wanted to eat with.

So I tried it and wow... the sky didn't fall on me and I'd saved considerably on the washing up. Yippee.

Plus, I'm a chocoholic and had been 'on the wagon' for over a decade. Recently, I found chocolate made in a nut-free environment and am almost back on my chocolate diet. I just throw in a few bits of 'normal' food to make it look as if I've made an effort. The amount of washing-up and messing about that saves is phenomenal.

Happy Days

Minimalism is great, isn't it? I'm trying to convince my SO that we don't really need more than 4 of anything kitchen related. Bowls, forks, glasses, etc. our friends rarely come for dinner by the masses, and they all drink beer so we don't need glasses.

I think I have seen every Shaw brothers Kung Fu film ever made.
I also watch 'Gumby' with semi- religious reverence.

It could be worse. Your son could be singing Slayer songs.
