How is this a source of guilt for you?

Brace yourself...I like to cook! AGH! There...I said it...it's out! There is nothing better to me than going to a restaurant, eating there and trying to make it myself and...make it better. I'd have to say I'm at about an 85% copy rate and about a 40% rate of making it better.

Dude. Cooking is the best thing ever.

Don't be ashamed of cooking. You cook for your friends, they come back over. Your place is now the best place to hang out before/after/during whatever you have planned.

It's not a source of guilt. I can't think of anything that's a source of guilt for me, actually. A guilty pleasure is something one considers pleasurable despite it being mainly received negatively or looked down on by a majority of society.

How is this looked down on... I LOVE Harry Turtledove's work. My Father got me into it hardcore when I was younger... I liked Guns of the South, which I read on my History Teacher's recommendation in 10th grade, and have not looked back...

Pokemon. Seriously. I'm addicted and Imustevolveitandwinasupercontestgoddamnit!

Oh. I also watch shows like TMZ and "Celebrity Rehab" *shame* I'm going to go scrub myself clean.

No, unfortunately, that doesn't make you weird, just gross... (Nothing personal, but those things are horrid. At least you are smart enough to know that you SHOULDN'T enjoy them.) The only way you would be weird is if you were part of the minority that liked those shows... You are part of the majority... So rejoice in the fact that society doesn't shun you. And I would still be your friend despite this deep personal flaw...

Historical fiction in and of itself is not so much a guilty pleasure. However, I'd just as soon none of my coworkers caught me reading a Signet Regency Romance.

Now Romance novels I do see as a guilty pleasure... WHOA, hold on... They have LESBIAN ROMANCE NOVELS? Why am I surprised... Can you buy them at a supermarket like you do regular romance novel, or can you only get them at specialty shops...

Playing Viva Pinata and watching construction documentries (don't know why)

I have a pile of cd roms with crappy old games like MDK, Diablo, Starcraft, Heroes of Might and Magic I, etc. When the mood strikes me I re-install one of them and play them for a few days straight, usually neglecting things like food, sleep, and personal hygiene. I snap out of it eventually.

Also I thoroughly enjoy watching How It's Made. The narrator's accent intrigues me.

Also, smoking. :(

Ace of Base.

There, I said it.

They even have Lesbian Regency Romances! Now if I can only find a Lesbian Elizabethan Swashbuckler, my life will be complete. And you can't get them at the supermarket, but you can get them in most major bookstores.

Wow, learn something every day... Every time I see you post on a thread with personal information it goes straight to the top of my list to read... You are simply fascinating.... And you always entertain me with random facts...

if i buy chocolate i must eat the entire block on that day.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I could watch it all day. Also I like the song Talk Dirty To Me by Poison. I don't know why. I just do. Maybe because it's so romantic.
