Can You Tell I'm Feeling Guilty?
Okay, LJ & Vox friends, here's my random question for you. Of all the crappy junk food in the world (I'm talking twinkies, ding-dongs, ho-ho's, anything that has a potential decade-plus shelf life, or any fast/frozen/drive-thru/bad-for-you food) What's your guiltiest pleasure? I have a couple, and for some reason, I really think it tells a lot about you!
I've always had to be really careful about what I eat, since I despise exercise and go out of my way to do as little of it as possible. So to stay in the good ol' size 5-7 (especially after having a child) I usually have to watch my calories and carbs and all that crap. But I get these crazy cravings like no other.
Burritos, for example. That was one of the few things that did carry over from my unusual pregnancy cravings. I used to hate all things beef or beef by-product (as the case may be, heh). when I got pregnant, I was a changed woman. It was hysterical, in a way, because I craved two things while I was pregnant. Mexican food and pancakes. I threw up after EVERY. SINGLE. MEAL. And did that stop me? No f'in way, dude, I was hooked. CARBS! SPICY MEAT! GREASE-- MORE GREASE! BRING IT ON!
(Oreo cookies, too, now that I think back on it. And I wondered how I gained almost 40 pounds?)
I still get this once-monthly craving for a burrito. And, not surprisingly, I had one earlier today and am now ridiculously sick.
Totally worth it, though.
In Other, Less Disgusting News: I was talking to a friend of mine from my work and divulged one of the most surprising secrets about myself; my celebrity crush. You have no idea, but people FREAK OUT when they hear about this obsession I have. First off, it's been, like... Jesus, pushing 8 years now and still going strong. I am obsessed with this damn guy, I can't even help myself. I almost never go out of my way to say who it is, though it's usually pretty easy to figure out. But, needless to say, people who know me in person or in my personal life always wig out when they find out who it is and how badly I'm infatuated with him. I get a lot of,
"OH MY GOD! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! THAT IS SO [insert the usually-deragatory term here]! THAT IS SO UNLIKE YOU! I NEVER, EVER, IN A BILLION YEARS WOULD HAVE GUESSED!"
Yeah, what can I say.
It always becomes totally incorporated into my relationships, too. I always, always manage to pick guys to date who have a passionate hatred towards this dude; just coincidentally. They are always incredibly devastated/jealous to find out my little secret, causing them to hate him more. It ALWAYS becomes a running joke in the relationship. It can be a deal-breaker, I'm not kidding. I could quote you guys the most HILARIOUS conversations we've had revolving around the subject, but it would give away who he is & I'm not quite ready to embarrass myself at that level yet.
It's moments like these when everyone can see how mature I'm really not. Heh.
Who is YOUR guilty celebrity crush? Do you guys have a celeb that you think is the best thing since sliced bread? Does it surprise people when you tell them? COME ON, PEOPLE. Make me feel a LITTLE bit better about myself, ok? I'm counting on you!!
