Guilty Pleasures; Kinda the opposite of pet peeves

My mom would steal it if I had a lot of candy. Greediness is a bitch. And the guilty part of my previous guilty pleasure is that fact of knowing I did better than someone else in the same class/group.

Guilty pleasures.... God.... Where do I start lol.

Chocolate is definately one of the major ones, I spend way too much money on it, and I always make sure I have a stack of it at work and at home. I always need some every day, if I don't, I start getting really moody and get these constant cravings where no matter what I eat, it won't do until I have chocolate!

And probably the amount of money I spend on buying anime and manga... Another thing I won't ever give up though lol. I can spend hundreds on it in a matter of seconds. I can control myself though so I don't blow all my money on JUST that. But I know some people would look at me and think, "What a waste of money." And all I can say is, "Hey! It's my money! I will do whatever I damn well please!" lol :P

I guess that's about it. I don't play games as much as I used to. But I guess when I do I'm always very absorbed in them and I totally tune out the rest of the world for a few hours lol. But besides that, I think those stated above are my major ones. :roll:

I have a bunch of chocolate now. Heh.

I used to spend quite a bit of money on anime in manga, but I find my interest tapering off. I have, like, maybe a couple that I still really enjoy. Other than that, not much. It's kind of like reading novels of most genres. After you read a hundred, you've read them all, it seems.

I do like the chocolate today. A guy at my workplace was passin out candy bars, and gave my sister a Hershey bar, in turn gave it to me. It was good.

As far as manga goes... I prefer books and novels instead. Manga is good and all, but still... like Kairi, I've kinda lost interest over time. And books of the same genre can only do so much before having to use something from somewhere else.

Take Eragon, for instance. People say it was too cliché insome parts. You know what I think? I think there's only so much you can do with fantasy stories with dragons and princesses and elves and whatnot.

Oh yeah, as you can tell, my guilty pleasure is just reading and analyzing books and novels.

I quite like manga, but it doesn't mean it's the only books I read. I have many novels that I quite like as well. Right now I'm reading the Ouran High School Host Club series while also reading the first book to this trilogy called Tales of the Otori. I'm still reading the first book but damn it's so good... I've found myself reading my novel more than my manga haha. But I still love manga for the fact that it has more story involved in the series than the related anime... I usually find myself watching an anime and thinking, "Wow, that was awsome!" And then consider getting the manga to find out more about it.

My guilty pleasure I have now is going back and watching old, old movies. Young Frankenstein (we talked about that before) is one of them. Wow.. it's just hilarious. And Blazing Saddles was friggin classic.

Haha, funny, I actually started listening to music I hadn't heard in ages and ages. Technically they aren't 70's bands or anything, more like 90's but it's still a shock to the system. I start loving it all over again as though it was my first time listening hehe.

Sister Hazel - All For You

That's from 1994, and I still love that song now. You know, that was actually my first official favorite song to memory. That's the one I would go around singing when it first aired on the radio and I even told my Aunt Hazel about the band named like her. :P

I can't remember the first song I ever loved... It's really going back lol.

Actually, I think it would have been a Spice Girls song haha. Probably their first ever single, "If you Wanna Be My Lover!" ..... Oh god.... It's in my head now! :blink:

Ah, Tales of the Otori is good. I read it quite some time ago, but yeah, it's quite good. They should make a movie out of it; if done right, I think movie-goers would eat it up.

I haven't touched manga in two years. Before watching Haruhi, I hadn't seen any anime in two years, too. But then I got interested and read the light novel, which was amusing.

The only manga I've read front/back to back/front is Abenobashi, which I found out, is also an anime.. had no idea, but it's funny to read.

I just finished the first book today, 'Across the Nightingale Floor' very awsome. I so badly want the next book lol. I was tempted to get the whole series in one hit but I felt that knowing my luck, it would be a series I wouldn't like and I'd waste all that money. Now I wish I did lol. Oh well, should still be around somewhere, just need to find it hehe. I intend to see a movie tomorrow so maybe before or afterwards, I could see about tracking down the next book. Anyone seen Ghost Rider? That's what I want to see :P Just hope it won't be a waste of time lol :lol:

Abenobashi? That's been out for a while, I think. I've heard about it and seen it briefly, but I haven't actually read or watched it, really.

The manga is usually better than the anime, in most cases, I think. And the light novel (if there is one) can be better. Haruhi's light novel is a lot better.

I got the books as soon as they came out, so I'm glad. I picked it up a few years ago, so I did have to do some waiting around for the other novels, but not by much. I think one amusing thing is that the people I know that have Japanese names have the same names as some of the characters in the book. My selected Japanese name is in there, too, coincidentally.

I haven't seen Abenobashi. When I saw previews to the anime, I didn't know how to take it lol. I hear it's really funny and good. However I heard those same words mentioned to Excel Saga, never finished watching it I admit but half way through, I saw no humor in it, I just found it stupid. I'm sure both aren't exactly the same as each other, nor from the same creator, however if it has the same pointless randomness that Excel Saga is, I'll just do what I always have, avoid it :wacko:

Then again, I guess I could look it up on YouTube since it won't cost any money..... Actually, why didn't I think of that before lol. :lol:

You can sort of consider that something like, "To each their own." I never saw Excel Saga, so I can't judge that. I've only read the first manga book to Abenobashi, so I can say from that book, I think it'd be good.

I just don't want fillers in this one, too. <_<

Well, not every anime has fillers. Usually it's the ones that go for a long time like Inuyasha, Bleach, Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin etc. Smaller shows that are like 26 episodes long don't usually have fillers. There may be a couple of episodes which are altered or are added which the manga doesn't have but that's usually as far as it goes. Most of the time it still follows the basic story line from the manga... Most of the time :roll:

Guilty Pleasures? Er... Being a level-whore in almost every RPG I come across would be one. :P

And uh, that's it? Honestly, I've never quite known what "guilty" pleasures meant.

It's kind of like, stuff that you like to do but you shouldn't do it. Or something along those lines.

So, if you don't have many, it probably means you're a pretty good person. I suppose. I don't know.

I tend to hoard my money. I don't spend it. This is kind of a guilty pleasure. I should be donating more of it, I suppose, but I never know what the future will hold. I'm frugal, but not to the point of being stingy. Still, it's slightly a guilty pleasure, I guess, since I like to know that I'll have a little bit when I live for college.

My guilty pleasure lately is being an ass. Something I like to do, though I shouldn't do it. :P

And Eureka Seven was 50 episodes, but there weren't any fillers. It did pretty good, actually, and is now one of my favorite anime series, if not the main favorite.
