Okay, as an adult (well, young adult) I harbor a secret love... Pokémon.

My nephew LOVES the games, he plays them all the time, and I have to admit that I play them too now Guilty Pleasures They're really addictive! He plastered my wheelchair in Pokémon stickers, and I secretly don't mind. I think I spent an hour this morning taking Pokémon quizzes. He's gotten me completely hooked on his Gameboy Pokémon games.

...Kinda sad Guilty Pleasures

So what about you guys? Everyone has a guilty pleasure!

Ok I will admit it...I buy the cereal for the toy inside. If the toy isn't good I won't buy the cereal. It is hard these days because the cereal companies don't put toys in their cereal much these days.

I don't know - I tend not to feel guilty about my pleasures - I kind of figure as long as it's not hurting anyone else, who cares. i guess the closest thing I have to a guilty pleasure is jewellery buying. I spend way too much money on jewellery, especially antique. It's almost a joke with my friends that whenever I go away on holiday, I always buy expensive jewellery as a souvenir, so the first question I get is what did you buy. I kind of like it though because I can look at my jewellery and associate it with where I bought it & remember the great trip. Gonna have to cut back on this habit though since it looks like I'll be taking a lower paying job soon.

Oh man, lots of guilty pleasures. Ice cream and 80's metal probably topping the list.

<font color="purple">My goodness, it's funny you say that because...
I love Pokemon too Guilty Pleasures
(It's not so bad, I'm 16, and my brother is 18, and we both love it)
I play my Pokemon games whenever I'm bored, and I like to read the comics (aka manga) too. .. ... oh yeah, I watch the cartoon (aka anime) as well Guilty Pleasures

Pokemon is not so much my guilty pleasure, because it's not something that I feel guilty over anymore... </font>

I find some music to be a pretty guilty pleasure too... I used to have a guilty pleasure of rocking out to Simple Plan when I did the dishes Guilty Pleasures

Kaika, once I get my DS wired up to go online, we should exchange friend codes and battle Guilty Pleasures

<font color="purple">Sounds cool. Guilty Pleasures
What level are your Pokemon? I've been playing for a long time now, so if we battle I want to make it a fair match. I have wireless internet, so I have no problem going online (yay!)

Yeah, I litsen to music no one ever litsens to. ever.
Like, Apocalyptica, 12 Girls Band, and E Nomine(only their non-satanic songs...), Karl Jenkins (aka Adiemus) as well as anything else that sounds good and has a bit of meaning. (wich is exactly why I hate 90% of rap/hip-hop, some songs are good though, and I think eminem is pretty good, if only for his level of emotion)

though, I don't like dancing in front of people Guilty Pleasures</font>

Well I JUST started a new game and traded all my high level guys to my nephew... so I'll have to wait until I level them up Guilty Pleasures But once I get them to a higher level maybe... right now I don't think so Guilty Pleasures

I'm really into french néo-trad (kinda folk-rock) and french indie music and french rap music too.

I know the Cotton Eye Joe dance... another guilty pleasure!

Kaika,

I love Apocalyptica - they're awesome Inquisition Symphony is my favourite CD by them. But I used to get weird looks when I played it at work.

I love the pokemon games too!! That is probably my main guilty pleasure..they are just so much fun.

I guess second on the guilty pleasuer list has to be eating onions plain and raw..I don't know if that is just weird but for the sake of this topic I'm calling it a guilty pleasure

Music wise my guilty pleasure is Fergie..I have no clue why I like here music..but I do. I've heard of Mes Aiuex before..I just can't rember where...that is going to bug me now..I have to go and figure out where I've heard that before.

Griffe thank goodness someone finally agress with me on eating onions raw!! My friends and family think it is the oddest thing. I love eating ice cubes too.. Radishs I have to disagree on though.. they do smell nice when you get them fresh from the garden though. What about eating salt plain I rember doing that all the time when I was like three or four.

<font color="purple">For the record, I like eaing potatoes and red radishes raw, as well as ice Guilty Pleasures

Haha, yay for more Pokemon fans!
I'm letting this kid who I'm friends with on the bus (he's only about 8) play my Pokemon games. He's really funny how he does impressions of all the pokemon, but he has quite the mouth when he get's angry and starts losing (I think I'll have to work on him with that...) his absolute favorite Pokemon ever is Onix. I...don't exactly know why, but he loves it. It's funny though, he acts like he's so tough, but then he see's a cute Pokemon and is all "Awww how cuuuute~" </font>

Pepper? Hmm I'll have to try that. I LOVE THE LION KING!!! I rember when it first came out I saw it four times in theater and I had a bunch of the Lion King figurens. It is still one of my favorite movies. Disney movies are some of the best. Was Balto a Disney movie?

Really? It seems like Balto would be a Disney movie..because it is that good!! I would love to see the broadway version of Lion King and Beauty and the Beast I was obbsessed with that movie too. What did you think about Lion King 2 and Lion King 1/2. I was disapointed in Lion King 1/2 Guilty Pleasures.

The Broadway version of The Lion King is amazing! I saw it and I'm so glad I did Guilty Pleasures

I didn't like 1/2, I thought 2 was alright, but no way as good as the 1st. Some of the songs were catchy though.

I was never into beauty and the Beast... But I adore Jungle Book! Oliver and Company is great too, so is Robin Hood. All Disney!
