Guilty Pleasures

Sarah Chase · Post by **Sarah Chase** » 17 years ago

I also like dogs more than most people, and sweatshirts are my hero.

Okay, wait, where was it I read about this guy who was always trying to put more cowbell into songs?

Edit: Figured it out, I was reading about Christopher Walken last night.

MEMORY FOAM!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEES! And I'm not at ALL guilty about that! Really, I'm not terribly guilty about most things I do. And considering how easily I get addicted to TV shows, that's kind of impressive.

I like ALL kinds of music, but I definitely have to disagree about the country thing.

*ducks to avoid flying shoes*

Anyway, I'm a music freak. I have over 300 CDs in my personal collection. Some days I'll be jammin' with Bob and others I'll get all angry rocking out to Rage Against the Machine. My boyfriend is a metal drummer, so there's some more flavor for my collection. Basically, I have every major classic album; all the Beatles, the Stones, Pink Floyd, most of the Led Zep's, etc.

My collection is METICULOUS. I even have a "go-back" crate. That's what happens when you work at Virgin Megastore for over a year. All of the CD's are on a shelf in alphabetical order by artist, and within the artist's albums, they're in chronological order.

Also, I never carry the real CD in the car - if it's traveling, it's burned.

I should also mention my 12-year obsession with the Beatles. My dad bought me the White Album when I was seven and it just has never been the same. When I was 11, I had a pony named Sgt. Pepper. I have a huge pencil sketch of John Lennon in my room, and a whole shelf of Beatle-related books. I can't wait for Chapter 27 to come out. My Beatle horses:

Can't Buy Me Love
Crybaby
Hello Goodbye
Love Me Do
Love You Too
Penny Lane
Rubber Soul
Say Goodnight
Somethingabouther
Strawberry Fields

I think I have more but I kind of zipped through my list of 550+ horses. You get the picture though. Mallory <3 Beatles. Moreover, Mallory <3 John Lennon. Hence, Instant Karma.

Susie used to come into my room after class and just plop down onto my bed. This was before she got her memory foam pad and after my mom sent me one. It took me all night to get her out so I could go to sleep! Hehe! Those were the days, Sus...

I think I should add that I, on a somewhat daily basis, open up Onwardsilvercharm's page and just look at how much awesome he really was...

Yes, I am guilty of being infatuated with an imaginary horse. I'll admit it. He's my hunny.

I forgot to mention my other prized possession: a pair of memory foam slippers. Its like... walking on your bed, except portable!

Susie Rydell · Post by **Susie Rydell** » 17 years ago

Slippers?! Where did you get them?

Rebecca Rose Hepburn · Post by **Rebecca Rose Hepburn** » 17 years ago

Oh man, where to start?

I love old movies, musicals etc, the cheesier the better. And I will admit, I do love Disney movies ;P As for shows right now, I'm addicted to Heroes and other things of the sci-fi fantasy nature. I'm slowly working my way through the current run of Dr. Who from the BBC, and if you ever want to hear me rant and rave ask me about the cancellation of Firefly ;P

I love old things, things from the past. If it's something on an old historical society list, I'll want to see it. I loooove old Ghost Towns.

I do admit that I fish. Whenever I go camping by a lake or stream I help catch dinner and have a blast doing it.

And...I am a NASCAR fan

Guilty pleasures... oh so many.

I collect little cars (Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, etc) and I must have thousands - I stopped counting several years ago. Since Lego's and little cars were my favorite toys growing up, I just never really grew out of that phase I guess. I can own any "cool" car without having to pay the insurance or know anything about how to fix them. Now if I could only shrink down to 1:64th scale....

Music. I love music. I will listen to anything once, twice (or more!) if I like it. I earned a degree in Music with the emphasis in recording arts, so I spent every minute of nearly 4 years deep in the world of music. I also play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and any other instrument I can get my hands on. Maybe I can't play them all very "well", but as long as I am having fun who cares!

Cartoons. I love cartoons. Saturday morning when I was a kid was spent watching Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes, Superfriends, Scooby Doo (before Scrappy!), The Flintstones, Jabberjaw, Pink Panther, Speed Buggy, Mr Magoo, Jetsons, Fantastic Four, Kroft Super Show, Popeye, George of the Jungle, Under Dog, Mighty Mouse... the list goes on and on. And yeah I am old. There was no such thing as cable tv or Cartoon network so Saturday morning was it. I still like cartoons as I have several Spongebob DVD's along with Shrek and Monsters Inc. I also like the cartoons on Adultswim, the weirder the better.

The Godfather and that style movies. Yeah I have watched Casino, GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Once Upon A Time In America, etc. many many times. My "gangster" movies will kill any and all broadway musicals that come within 200 yards of them.

And of course CHOCOLATE! I am surprised no one even mentioned it yet. Maybe it isn't so much a guilty pleasure and more of a sustaining life force...

I just watched The Godfather for the first time ever today. It was awesome. I am off to watch it with the director's commentary now - if there's a commentary included on a DVD, I will watch it. That's a given. I also enjoyed Kill Bill, for all it's B-movieness. I have a hunch, looking through Ronda's horses, that she also is a fan?

Scientists have discovered that (dark) chocolate is good for you - so it's no longer a guilty pleasure.

Next thing you know, they'll be saying hot fudge sundaes are health food and wheat germ is bad!

A friend once told me that he doesn't like Bruce, and I didn't speak to him for a week. He finally apologized so I spoke to him again, but I've always liked him juuuust a littttle bit less after that!

YES! I loved the critics, they were my favorites. It's been too long since I've seen that show

I am also a sappy romance reader. My new obsession is Marlon Brando when he was young and hot.

Mallory Claire · Post by **Mallory Claire** » 17 years ago

Oh-ho yeah. Young Brando was beautiful. I had such an obsession with him that I even liked him a little when he was fat. Haha. He just had this rogue-ish hotness about him.

~1951: Yum!

1996: Huh?
