Top 10 Guilty Pleasures

I had a hard time coming up with the definition of a guilty pleasure. Basically, they are things you enjoy that you know you shouldn't. I see this in two categories...things you know are bad for you, and things you're just embarassed to admit you like or feel the need to explain. Let's see how this goes.

10. Hair Band Music
I occasionally still enjoy putting that bad 80's/90's rock on. Warrant, Motley Crue, etc. So sue me.

9. Ice Cream
One of the world's most perfect foods. If only it was good for me. I keep waiting for the study that proves a bowl of ice cream each day helps prevent something tragic.

8. Singing
Yep...singing in the car, when nobody's home, etc. If I'm by myself, I'm usually making a fool of myself...but since I'm by myself, who cares? There are those times that people in other cars give me "that look." Bah.

7. eBay
The rush you get from trying to fight off another bidder as time runs out must be what gamblers feel like. I think I have a problem.

6. Vanessa Carlton Songs
Now, I've only really heard two of them so far...but they both got stuck in my head (A Thousand Miles and Ordinary Day). The songs are WAY over produced, but the girl has talent...and she can write some catchy hooks. Not my usual thing, but I can't help myself.

5. Politics
Sometimes I want to just turn off the news and ignore the stupidity that is our government...but I can't help it. It's like watching a train wreck. I always have to fight the urge to get involved. Ambivalence rules.

4. The Kazoo
It's silly, juvenile and somewhat annoying. I love it.

3. HGTV
I think it's a side effect of building a home, but I find myself drawn into even the lamest programs on HGTV.

2. Gilmore Girls
A show about a mother and her teenage daughter. I know it sounds like sissy stuff, but it's really good.

1. Doing nothing
A much as I want to be a productive member of society, there's nothing better that sitting back and doing nothing. Except maybe laying back and doing nothing.
