Day 10:Your Guilty Pleasures

Ah, so I'm a little embarrassed... I missed two days... So to make up for it, I'm going to do all three, tonight. Day 10, 11, 12, as well as a 12.5 that's just off topic and honest... It isn't called a challenge for nothing. To be honest, I was in... That place, over the weekend, that dark little corner in my head. I was there all the way up till this morning. I don't know why it went away, it just did. That's kind of how it works. It starts with a disinterest in everything, then total apathy and self-loathing, all the while you can't concentrate on a goddamn thing... Eventually it goes away, but you can't out-think it. You can distract yourself, and you can make little coping mechanisms, and sometimes they don't work, sometimes they do... But I'm back now.

Okay, guilty pleasures, in no particular order.

- Pop divas.
Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Lana Del Rey, Adele... That's just how it is. And I am not ashamed... If she wears the crown, a bitch better bow down, haha.

-Musicals
I saw Rocky Horror with my ex, was amazing, watched the film, watched Grease live and on film, watched all three Highschool Musicals, watched Glee *religiously* for a long while, Rock Of Ages. Not even going to joke... I am a total sucker for randomly breaking into song and dance. As lame as that is... But I mean, if I'm that kid walking down the street screaming along to Lamb Of God at 7AM while every other student gives me a total face of what-the-ungodly-fuck-is-he-even-doing...

-Girly anime
Tokyo Mew Ala Mode, or Mew Mew Power as it was called outside of Japan was one of my first. I also watched wayyyy too much Totally Spies... My first manga was actually a shojo romance called Fushigi Yuugi... I read it the wrong way at first, thinking it was just a print error, but then after correcting myself, I found it to be one of the most enthralling experiences... I just bought it because it was on sale at some ancient ass book store and I liked comics.

-Daydreaming
See, before I wrote the book I wrote, I actually day-dreamed the whole thing... I'm like 30 years past where the book ends in my head. This was something that I just developed as a kid as a result of what I guess was an over-active imagination. Only child for 10 years, and we moved around a lot, so at times I had to invent friends. Or stories. A lot of them were based on TV shows I watched. I laughed really hard at that one episode of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, where Will takes Mac on a tour and then there's Mojo Jojo and he's all like "Some kids aren't very creative so they just copy what they see on tv." I sort of directly related to that. My stories got better as I grew up... I guess I've been grooming myself into a writer since I was 8.

-Girly alcoholic drinks
Beer tastes stupid. There. I said it. It's overly macho and *really* bitter. And disgusting. Why are the pink drinks the ones that taste the best? Even the non-alcoholic ones... Ever had that sparkling Ruby Grapefruit soda? That shiz is amazing... And pink lemonade? AAAHHH ♥ I'm sorry, but cocktails are fun and not loaded with calories and you can get waaaaaasted. Beer is stupid. Except Carling Black Label, I guess... It's the cheapest drink when your money's gone down the sink.

-Wearing my Onesie... Uh.. Onesy... Onezee? Fuck.
I have a Batman one. It's awesome. I wear my Batman sneakers with it and walk around yelling "JUSTICE" in my best Christian Bale voice. I'd list Batman as my guilty pleasure, but nah...

-True Blood
It's not for everyone. There's sex, violence, Southern accents and so much weird. Just... In your face. And Joe Manganiello's abs... (O.O) How do you even get THAT ripped? Like... Even I want to touch them... Besides all the titties in your face and weird vampire sex and weird werewolf sex and that one time Bellefluer fucked a fairy on a pool table and you know what? You get it, right? There are some great allegories about racial discrimination, the evils of capitalism, dangers of conservative thinking, effect of drugs and addiction... If you can sit through all the *rambling going off into the distance* then True Blood is... Amazing. NO GUILT! Right up until my dad walks in... UGH. My dad once walked in on us watching TB and Jason was getting it on with this one chick while they were watching a sextape of her and a vampire and my dad bursts into the room triumphantly, announcing that he has made a masterpiece of a meal, and now there's lots of sex noises and really visible sex happening... And I pause. Tits. I unpause and pause again, A better shot of tits. This went on for about three minutes before I paused on Jason's cumface which was decidedly the least awkward thing to display.

I haven't lived it down since.

-Sonic The Hedgehog
Can your problems even keep up with Sonic The Hedgehog? No. They can't. He's too fast. 'Nough said.


Okay, guilty pleasures... Wow, I sound feminine... Cue questions about my sexuality in 3, 2...
