Guilty pleasures...

For me it is Japanese animation. I'm not talking about the artsy stuff like Miyzaki's Princess Mononoke (though I like that too). I'm talking about the kinds with giant robots and nuclear mushrooms.

Oh yeah, I read Harry Potter too.

I wouldn't describe anything that brought me pleasure as a "guilty pleasure" but some of the things that bring me pleasure are creating things out of other things (like we just make a gazing ball out of my mothers bowling ball) and reading.

Harry Potter, Suzanne Brockmann romance novels, cheese of any kind, potatoes, a nice warm bed...

The list could really go on and on, heh. Oh, and TV shows like Sex and the City (and most recently, Cashmere Mafia) - way more addicting than you'd think. Believe me.

It is nice to meet more adult Harry Potter fans. I generally don't talk about Harry in front of my IRL friends. They can be kind of brutal.

You're right. Why should I feel guilty!

It would probably be chocolates, chocolates, chocolates!

Though I know that sometimes I already eat too much of it that I feel bad on the throat, still I eat or at least save it for the next day. Anything chocolaitey would do: brownies, choco bars, choc donuts. Yum! I sometimes even get selfish and greedy. Teeeheee

I would say: knitting and Project Runway.

That TV Show "Big Brother" is definitely a guilty pleasure for me. I'm not really a reality show fan, but that show's got me hooked.

Hot dogs are definitely a guilty pleasure as well. Haven't had them for a couple months and not a day goes by that I don't think about buying some. Maybe over the weekend I'll treat myself to a few... Oh god now I'm hungry. so very hungry...

Chocolates.
Coffee.
Internet.

Thats the 3 that top my list.
Oh and there's also movies. All kinds. I like watching them.
Music. I could listen all day long...everyday.
Harry Potter? I guess Im done with the series.
Comedy Sitecoms.

I would identify a "guilty pleasure" as something I loved but would pretend to dislike or to make fun of when around other people. Mine would be watching "America's Next Top Model" and eating cereal for dinner ^^

Really, really terrible 80s and 90s pop music. On the outside I'm a modern alternative rock lover, but on the inside, I'm a total sucker for -- I don't know -- Spice Girls. Pop from back then is so much better than that radio nonsense of today.
