ON MY MIND: Guilty Pleasures

We all partake in certain things that give us pleasure while simultaneously making us feel a bit naughty for doing so. The following are top three of my guilty pleasures:

#1 - Kdramas

My fascination with Kdramas is rather ironic because I loath American romantic comedies, melodramas, soap operas, and pretty much anything else falling into the category of "chick flick". You'd have to hold me at gunpoint in order to get me to see a Katherine Heigl or Reese Witherspoon movie, and I consider being forced to watch Titanic or any of the Twilight movies as cruel & unusual punishment. However, for some inexplicable reason, I feel compelled to watch Kdramas. What makes this more perplexing and guilt-inducing is the fact that Kdrama storylines usually involve either a love triangle or a love square (or sometimes even a love polygon), and as you may already know, I tend to think that geometrically convoluted romantic relationships are big steaming piles of poo. Nonetheless, there is something really endearing & fun about Kdramas that makes me contradict myself and throw my normal standards/judgements right out the metaphorical window.

#2 - Nutella

This hazelnut-flavored chocolate nectar of the gods makes me weak in the knees. Literally. Indulging in this borderline orgasmic chocolatey goodness wouldn't be so bad if not for the somewhat embarrassing truth that I don't simply eat Nutella...I devour it like a starving person in a hunger-induced state of delirium. Seriously, I grab a spoon as if it were a lifeline and go to town on that jar. And whenever one of my family members is brave enough to ask me to share my precious Nutella, I growl at them like a rabid dog with a juicy steak bone. Yeah, it's not pretty.

#3 - Computer Games

I will admit it. I am a bit of a gamer girl. I love me some acrobatic relic hunting, stealthy bad guy killing, inventory based puzzle solving, and simulated house building. Truth be told, there was a moment in time when I developed a teeny weeny addiction to gaming and spent what should have been normal sleeping hours shooting mutated monsters, assassinating crime bosses, and making my sims do very mundane fake-life stuff over & over again.
