Guilty Pleasures Meme
The first player of the game starts with the topic of "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well,and state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. Being alone in my house and reciting Lewis Carroll's poetry, as well as the quote "If thus thou vanishest, thou tellest the world it is not worth leave-taking." loudly. Nearly shouting them, actually.
2. Both books by Tamora Peirce and all the Dragonlance books. They don't have literary value, no matter how hard I try to convince myself that they do. Tamora Peirce is an author of young adults fan fiction that I've been reading since I was seven, and I've read all 23 of her books. I read them when I need very light reading (and she included a realistic lesbian romance in the most recent book, as well as revealing that two women who lived together, major characters in the previous books, were actually in a relationship. This makes me very happy, as it just seems to right for all the characters). Dragonlance books are just...fun. Unless you read some of them by the authors other than the original two. Some are just...bad.
3. Sometimes (again when I'm in the house alone) I choreograph modern dances, or improvise, to songs from musicals. Yes, songs from musicals. It's insane, but strangely addictive.
4. Clementines. I don't know why, since they're good for you, but they taste so delicious they must be unhealthy somehow...
5. Life itself is a guilty pleasure. At least, that's how I veiw it. I'm a bit too tired too explain exactly how at the moment, but I will explain later if anyone is interested.
Arguably, one could say that both fan fiction and RPGs are guilty pleasures. I think they both have value for all involved, for the experience of collaborating with others in RPGs, and helping with alot of writing skills in both of them. But I do spend far too much time working on them that could be spent doing something more "productive".
I'm not tagging anyone, because I don't remember who has done this meme before.
