      Tell me what some of your guilty pleasures are. Please?

      They can be of any kind.

      Just had a conversation with a friend about this, and was wondering what other peoples' were. I find it insightful.

      here's some of mine:

      • singing in the shower
      • dancing alone [mostly to World Zone, but not always]
      • going barefoot
      • silent movies
      • musicals
      • making up words
      • people-watching
      • internet diaries
      • "talking" to cardinals
      • collecting found objects
      • PostSecret and Found Magazine
      • boy/boy or girl/girl snogging
      • attempting to use mind powers
      • drinking too much coffee/staying up for long periods of time
      • writing down quotes of conversations with friends
      • taking pictures of people while they are sleeping, or otherwise candid shots
      • rap music [Outkast, Dead Prez, Wu Tang, The Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def, The Roots, Tech9, etc....even some Lil' Wayne]
      • other musical guilty pleasures include: Saves The Day, Boondocks, really old U2, Dashboard Confessional, old Death Cab, and Hanson
      • driving while it's snowing, in an area with no street-lights, and pretending I'm driving through space

      In all seriousness?


      Soy milk.
      Hugging trees.
      Windy weather.
      Public speaking.
      Cran-raspberry juice.
      Climbing onto things.
      Rolling around in grass.
      Getting soaked in heavy rain.
      Over-exaggerating my gestures.
      Imagining comical ways of dying.
      Talking to trees and other plants.
      Carrying a sword around in a guitar case.

      What an awesome list.

      I talk to plants sometimes too. It's always a one-sided conversation though...

      Not much unlike writing in a diary. At least this way you know you have a living thing who'll listen to what you have to say without cutting you off or sneering.

      Apparently plants grow better when music is played around them.

      i sing along to my songs when im alone, then once the song is finished i realise ive just done it and think about if anyone heard me.
      i also do a bit of air guitar along to my songs, infact, one time i had loud headphones on so i couldnt hear a thing outside them, and i was air guitaring and my dad walked in and i happened to look ove and i got the fright of my life, he says he had only just walked in, but i reckon he had been watching me for ages lol.

      ive probably got more guilty pleasures, but cant think on them now.

      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      xD don't hate me

      1) Being hard-headed. An this is a double-edged thing because many of the times I insist on something, I'm right.
      2) Being smart. If I had chosen any quality I would want for life, that would be it, but I agree I'm pretty arrogant at times.
      3) Manipulating people just to see how far it can go. +.+
      4) Lying epically.
      5) Making sure I look weird, or at least not average, to show people what my personality is.
      6) Being gay. Seriously, my best quality whatsoever. I would have been very different otherwise.
      7) Deduction and people-reading, a la Sherlock Holmes. But once again, this can make you arrogant.
      8) Hugging my pillow imagining it's someone there with me xD
      9) Being overly sincere and straightforward.
      10) Creating coded alphabets so that I can write notes only I will understand.
      11) Speaking English around people who know zero of it when I'm angry, just to piss them off/make them confused.
      12) Of course, boy-boy stuff, but I'm gay, so it's kinda.. expected
      13) I also dance alone.. But not just dancing, I make real dramatic choreographies in front of the mirror and memorize them. Sometimes I do one figure or another in public and my mother calls it gay and ballerina-like, so..

      Guilty of that as well.

      Some more of mine:

      • pretending to be a spy
      • "Taxicab Confessions"
      • smiling at strangers
      • falling in love often
      • trivia
      • voice imitation [especially when it comes to singing; male or female]

      Writing long letters to people I haven't spoken to in a long time or have yet to meet, then lighting them on fire and watching them burn while ignoring the feeling of guilt for what I'm doing to the environment.

      I'm a fag ass.

      Oh yeah. I particularly love doing soprano songs, my family gets extremely mad at me saying it sounds gay, which is like, pure hilariousness for I really am gay xD

      I also love to smile at strangers, but as in, trying to make them smile back - it can really change a person's mood you know.

      I will add some of mine from some I have seen already.

      - Singing in the shower. I don't do it often but I get the chance I love it. I love singing out loud in general when I'm on my own, not so much when others are around though. When I'm listening to my I-Pod I will usually mouth the words to the songs as well, I can't listen to a song without singing it.

      - Dancing alone. I don't know what world zone is but I also love to dance when I'm alone. It just puts me in a good mood and makes you feel energetic.
      Plus I think I'm a not too shabby singer or dancer, although other may disagree lol.

      - Making up words. I guess it's just putting random words together rather than making up my own words, although I did do it as a kid. I like coming out with some random crap and everyone is just going ''what are you on''. I like to feel and be different and I don't care if people think I'm weird. I love how I'am and will not change.

      - I did sometimes to the mind powers thing as a kid, thinking that it could actually work. To much T.V I guess.

      - Girl/Girl Snogging (ha snogging, that's so English). Who doesn't like a bit of that. I mean watching it, since I ain't a girl so it'd be pretty frickin hard for me to have a girl on girl.

      - Air Guitar. I always do this with every song that has guitar's in it, mainly Beatles and Oasis. Funny thing also, I used to think that an air guitar was an actual guitar that you could really play... Yeah probably shouldn't admit such a dumb thing like that but what the hey, and yeah it is a heart stopping moment if you get caught doing it.

      - Burping loudly and loving it. I'll usually try and not burp if I'm around people but when I'm on my own I would occasionally to it out loud, it's kind of imature that I find it funny when I do as well but it ain't harming anyone.

      Others I would say are being hard headed, I agree with Kromoh's number 8 & 10 and capoopy's number 11. I love trivia and getting people to always ask me questions to test my knowledge and show off the fact I knew something they didn't.

      I would strongly agree with voice imitation. I would always do impressions of teachers at school and got into trouble for it a few times when I got caught. They would say thing's like if I want a parrott I'll buy one or some other stuff like that. I can do a lot of good celebrity impressions as well.

      You have a funny family as well Kromoh, calling you gay when you are gay, it just doesn't make sense lol.

      1. Reading these fora.
      2. Using the (probably incorrect) plural "fora."
      3. Reading a cannabis news forum while my parents disapprove.
      4. Distilling my own alcohol. (Which, by the way, my parents DO approve of. Go figure. )
      5. Pointing out others' logical fallacies and hypocrisy.
      6. Meta-references.
      7. Coasting to save gas while pissing off the guy behind me. (I drive stick.)
      8. Criticizing others for being lazy and not learning stick.
      9. Walking around in the woods.
      9. Writing the same number for different things in a list.

      Am I the only one who's gonna be posting the unpopular guilty pleasures? Really? Alright, then, here goes...oh, and these ain't in any particular order of importance, either.

      1. Proving others wrong and making them look like idiots in the process, esp. in front of other people
      2. Laughing at the misfortunes of others
      3. Calling myself a genius (even though my personal "breakthroughs" may be worthless to everyone else)
      4. Making up new swear words ("fuckballs" was mine before I ever even saw AVGN)
      5. Having entire conversations - especially rants - with no one but myself
      6. Masturbation
      7. Talking smack about people behind their backs
      8. Slacking off at work by visiting DV...
      9. Overdosing on chocolate snacks
      10. Criticizing female bass players of being nothing more than eye-candy for bands (sexist...or true, to some degree? Hmmmm...)

      And now for my less negative guilty pleasures...

      11. Doing nerdy-ass things like reading Harry Potter books etc.
      12. Taking strolls in winter weather, especially rain or thick fog
      13. Watching the Angry Video Game Nerd over and over again
      14. Spending a month playing through every Legend of Zelda game I own (this happens once, sometimes twice a year)
      15. Daydreaming constantly (well, maybe not constantly..."regularly") about video game-related stuff
