I was big on Savage Love until she told a dying woman to cheat on her husband-- he'd never know the difference. The reason the woman wanted to cheat is that apparently her husband was only mediocre in bed, and her ex-boyfriend was in town who was awesome. If I recall correctly, there was also some question of her pretending she was going somewhere for disease treatment when she was actually going to go fuck this guy.

That made me so mad/sick to my stomach that I just couldn't handle Mr Savage anymore. That, by itself, made me hate humanity a pretty good bit.

Sometimes when Lenny is yelling (meowing REALLY LOUDLY) in the middle of the night I tell him to shut up. This is not something I am proud of.


Dude, your cats own you.
I would never feel guilty about telling my cat to shut up when I'm trying to sleep.

Also, the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," although I'm prepared to argue that that song is legitimately okay.

I was okay with that song until practically every teenage girl with a journal/blog/subdomain*/whatever had quotes from that song as either the title, the subtitle, the </title>, or the motto of their little corner of the web. Seriously, one day when I was bored in the computer labs at college, I started counting. Just picked one, and followed the links page. When I got to 40 after an hour, I stopped.

* Remember the pre-Livejournal days, when getting a web site meant begging someone whose parents bought them a domain name to give you a subdomain? I paid for mine, and not a day later, the requests for "Plz give meeee a subdomain!!!!11111!!!!" started.

I cannot refute that statement. Sigh.

I don't find liking nerdcore to be a guilty pleasure. I LOVE nerdcore. In fact I wish I had more of it. I need to get off my lazy butt and update my music collection with all the music I keep saying I like but never get around to acquiring. :/

But I digress.

Hm... guilty pleasures... I guess I would have to agree with the people who have said that they don't believe in guilty pleasures. I am not ashamed of anything that I like/enjoy even though I'm sure a good portion of it is stuff that most people would think I should feel guilty about liking.

Although the idea surrounding the worry over telepathic people is an interesting one. I thought I was the only person who worried about telepathic people. Being a teacher, I have to model respect and honorable human behavior all the time; so quite often during the day I find myself thinking horrible thoughts that a teacher shouldn't be thinking, for instance, if a student is really struggling with a concept, on the outside I might be patiently re-explaining it, but on the inside I'm thinking, "What are you, stupid? What the hell is wrong with you? Idiot!" and immediately afterwards I feel profound remorse. And I look over my shoulder to see if anyone in the area has telepathic powers and might have picked up on my inappropriate thoughts.

Totally off-topic: I really missed this place. Haven't had time to do any real reading for several weeks. Good to see everyone again.

Don't worry Muse, this happens to me too.  I am screaming curses in my head at the kidlets sometimes, while the rational part of my brain knows they're trying their best, and I am saying things out load to encourage them.  I only feel guilty about it if I end up then actually transfering my impatience or frustration into actual treatment, which rarely happens.
