GUILTY PLEASURES

Procrastinating! Save me from myself! As a foreword, I don't think anyone should feel guilt about liking something personal. But if I didn't feel that way, here are my answers:

CD I have in my car that I roll up the windows to listen to:

Probably the soundtrack to Wicked, though "Defying Gravity" is - or was, not so much anymore - in such high rotation that it probably transcends embarrassment. I also have a Taylor Swift CD, but I really only like "You Belong With Me."

Song on your iPod you wouldn't want anyone to see:

There are so many, but I'd say "Rumors" by Lindsay Lohan is the worst. "Party in the USA" is pretty bad too. I got both of those as a joke at first, but "Party in the USA" quickly became not a joke.

Book I read flat so no one could see the title:

I can't think of a time when I've ever done this. I find that people tend to approach you more readily if you're reading something blatantly inappropriate to your age/gender/race in public, which I appreciate. I actually made a semi-friend my freshman year by reading Sense and Sensibility with an awful cover in class one day.

Crappiest song ever sung at karaoke:

I've never done proper karaoke. The only time was in Italy and the mic was kind of passed around in the crowd, so it wasn't just me. But the people I went with liked to do a lot of Bon Jovi. "Livin' on a Prayer" and stuff. We did "Sarà perché ti amo" one night, and my contribution was pretty pathetic. I was drunk and only kind of know the words. You can imagine how that went.

Bad movie I watch repeatedly:

I own the Brady Bunch movies and watch them over and over, though I think those are genuinely hilarious. I remember once there was a Lifetime movie about internet porn addiction that I watched, like, three times because it was so bad in a good way. (Found it.)

Article of clothing I love though I know it’s wrong:

I wear gym socks with boat shoes. It looks ridiculous but whatever, it's more comfortable for me that way. I don't own any, but if someone bought me some whitey-tighties I'd probably rock those, too.

What I order at the bar when no one is listening:

I don't have an answer for this one. When I started drinking and didn't know what I was doing I'd just say, "Yeah, I'll have what she ordered," which ended up with some questionable drinks. Now, though, if it were up to me I'd just do shots and drink water all night. I don't really understand the point of drinking alcohol (except wine and maaaybe beer) unless you intend to get drunk. (That sounds like an alcoholic's answer, doesn't it?) I did order Old Speckled Hen a few weeks ago, which was embarrassing because it's such a stupid name.

Fast food item I adore:

Where do I start? I don't eat much fast food anymore but back in my carefree high school days? McChickens were up there. Anything at Taco Bell was good because it was cheap. KFC. Is Boston Market fast food?

Trashy TV Show:

I don't know if this really qualifies but I still find myself sucked in when I watch the evangelical Christian shows. I just love them. I really find Joyce Meyer inspirational. I watch her and wish so badly that I could live with that attitude. Also, anything about fat people losing weight, especially when they're losing 100+ pounds, is dream TV for me. I regularly find myself tearing up over The Biggest Loser. I'm just so proud of them. Related, anything about eating disorders, weird eating, food, cooking, etc. Any E! Investigates but especially the one about serial killers. I've seen that at least 10 times. Almost anything about serial killers, actually, especially the Manson family and the BTK Killer. Uh, the new Degrassi when I'm home. All this basically happens at home. I really don't watch TV at school because it doesn't have that nifty scroll-through-the-channels-while-you-watch-something-else box here.

Video Games?

I freely admit that I still play Pokemon. I break it out probably once a year and have since I was nine. It's therapeutic. You cannot be bad at that game and as long as you finish you are a CHAMPION. Also, I am too invested in Dragon Age and still get a little giddy whenever a new Zelda comes out.
