We all have them, those things we secretly enjoy but are not supposed to like. Here are a few of mine, what are some of yours?

"Godzilla" movies, the old ones where the monster was a guy in a rubber costume.

"hair metal" I am still a child of the 80s and always work out to "Metal Mania" on VH1 Classic every Tuesday morning.

"Bugs Bunny" still love those old cartoons even as an adult.

"videogames" at my age I should have given up on these things, but I really enjoy playing them

"Top Gear" I dream of having a job as cool as what Jeremy, Richard and James get to do, go around the world and basically goof off.

"cheesy sci fi films", there is something oddly alluring about badly made low budget sci fi that intrgues me.

This made me think of all of the Saturday cartoon mornings that always ended with the "Creature Double Feature"... we never missed it as kids.

My guilty pleasures... hmmm let's see. America's Next Top Model marathons. The occasional Lifetime TV movie... Greasy Diner Breakfasts- really good ones- so artery clogging... I watch every Christmas cartoon and claymation show I can find every year- I even print out a calender of when they are all on and hang it on the door.

Ovaltine. Spongebob marathons cuddled up in bed with my S.O. (Often accompanied by said Ovaltine)

The 80's stuff... bad sitcoms, pop music and cheeze metal. The occasional candies (like Necco wafers, Fun Dip, and Good N Plenty, etc.) that were popular then, but now can only be found at really good candy shops. Reminds me of being a kid.

Daytime TV- I used to watch my Mom's soap whenever I was home sick or on short term D until it was cancelled last year. I love Ellen, and have been known to sneak in the occasional episode of Dr Phil or Dr Oz.

Wow. It makes me laugh that my guilty pleasure list is so girly. I am a bit of a tomboy...
Thanks for this!

Hi, this made me think, oh yes I love Godzilla. I watched Americas next top model so many times. My husband likes it too. The Flintstones also. I like the newer movie of Godzilla, like to watch when he comes to New York over and over.

a few more

Kitchen Nightmares. I am not sure why but I just get a kick out of Gordon Ramsey, he can be a real a...hole, but I always think that in the end he really wants to help people be their best. There are a lot of people in the world that frankly could benefit from his brand of tough love.

Anime: I really enjoy the art style of these cartoons, and some have really good stories to them.

Chinese Food: I actually keep away from this stuff as it is mostly unhealthy and I really need to lose more weight, but I develop a powerful craving for it every few months.

FOOD! I love to eat! I especially have cravings for carbs like pasta and for cookies. I love spicey ethnic foods and it's difficult to eat healthfully all the time.

Wine - I allow myself only a few glasses per week and it's always a pleasure. Since money is tight, I cannot afford the good stuff but have found a $4 bottle where I can have a glass or two and then use the rest for cooking later in the week.

Jethro Tull - Love this band!

99 Cent Store shopping sprees! It's always fun and there's little guilt involved.
Thanks for this!

Ooooh, sleeping as late as possible. I work from home and after I have seen the family off to work and school, I very guiltily get back into bed and sleep till about 10 or 11. Its become quite a bad habit. I used to go to gym at that time. Now I just want to sleep.
Thanks for this!

Dashboard Confessional (and no I'm not "emo" style) and I still like the Disney Channel (something about life being so simple that makes me enjoy it)

Did I mention I'm 25?
