Deb did this at her site, and of course, I’m stealing it for my own. I’m a thief like that.
Five of my guilty pleasures:
(1) The O.C. - That show is dumb on so many levels, but I can. not. stop. watching. it. I have no idea what draws me to it every week because the SMART part of my brain (it’s a small part, I know) admits the show is stupid. But, I just can’t help it.
(2) E! TV - When there’s nothing on my TiVo for me to watch (rarely, but it happens) I immediately check out what is on E! TV. I’ll watch just about anyone’s True Hollywood Story and I’ve seen Christina Aguilera’s about ninety million times.
(3) Trashy tabloid mags - ALL OF THEM - I’ll pretty much pick up anything off the checkout aisle and read it. And each time I do, I feel my brain cells dying.
(4) Chik-Fil-A Chicken Biscuits/Sandwiches - LilZ and I became vegetarian at the first of the year (I was a vegetarian many moons ago for several years, LilZ talked me into going back) but I miss Chik-Fil-A with all my heart. I drive past TWO of them everyday on my way to work and I want to eat there so bad I sometimes cry. Seriously.
(5) Popular fiction. I rarely read anymore (books? what are those?) but when I do, it’s almost always something in the Popular Fiction section. Koontz, Cornwell, Patterson - those are my faves.
Now - make me feel better - what are YOUR guilty pleasures?
Thanks again, Deb.
I’m the same way about The O.C.-especially this season. It sucks so hard, but I come back every week.
First of all, one of the main reasons I moved back to Georgia was because Illinois did not have Chick-fil-a. I worship Truett Cathy and at time would sell a semi-vital organ for a nugget (of course, this mostly happens on Sundays).
Other guilty pleasures? Hmmmm……
I generally can’t stand reality stuff ……EXCEPT I dig myself some American Idol and don’t even get me started on Extreme Home Makeover or The Biggest Loser.
I will use my last nickel to cough up money for a new issue of US Weekly or People magazine. And if it has Angelina Jolie on the cover, well, let’s just say “see above regarding the semi-vital organ part”. She fascinates me in a way I find very disturbing.
My guiltiest pleasure (there are many) is America’s Next Top Model. I can’t wait for a new season to start! And, when it’s on VH1 as a marathon, I will spend an entire day watching it.
I guess most of my guilty pleasures would be tv related.
1) Dr. 90210
2) The Bachelor or any other type of reality show like it.
3) Myspace
4) Chicken Nuggets from McD’s
5) wouldyouhitthis.com
I totally have my pic up just to see how many people would “hit” me… it’s trashy I know but I get better ratings on there than I do on hotornot.
1. Glazed cherries
2. Reading gossip sites online…unfortunately I can’t eat the cherries while I do this, ’cause my fingers get too sticky
3. Sleeping ALL DAY (my holidays finish in one week)
4. The New Zealand Ghost Hunt program on TV
5. Owning about a million different tubs of body butter
OK, I’ll bite. I’m taking it over to my blog, such as it is.
1) All My Children
2) Flowers in the Attic series
3) Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream
4) Pens
5) Dear Abby
I deserve to be shot for this list, and yet, I’m not ashamed!
If I have more like 500 guilty pleasures, do I just choose the five guiltiest?! Heh.
I love James Patterson. I own the vast majority of his books. They are such an easy read!
1. Reading 15-20 Blogs during my work day
2. People Magazine
3. Reality TV (shh 31 and watched Laguna Beach)
4. Nachos and cheese
5. Working on wedding web page at work
I like crunching up doritos and putting them on my salads, sort of like a nacho cheese crouton. I also subscribe to STAR magazine.
