Everyone should know by now that I am hedonistic and extremely self-indulgent...and it did occur to me, surely I am not the only one? So...confession time! Just whisper to me one or two or all of your guilty pleasures...I promise not to tell! |

i'd answer this quite honestly if i had any guilt ... but since i don't, i'll tell you how what pleases me is built -- the thing i love to do the most is slyly to chase birds, meandering 'round trees and such with rhymes and cryptic words. not every bird, now mind you, does pandora eye as prey, there's some who are more appetizing, that's all i can say. and so i sit beneath a tree where hawks and such will perch, and wait until i spy a wing -- ha! therein ends my search!! this kitty cat can leap and pounce, off logs and from the rocks so i will say to birds today, beware pandora's box!! but if you'd like to have a nip, serenity, my friend, i'd gladly join you in a shot and drink to now and then. oh hell, let's drink to all the posts right here at this website, and when we're through, i'll toast to you and then we'll say goodnight. we'll wake up in the morning and go out for the raw bar... unless i've caught a bird or two, then, i won't go too far... hehe  < !signature--> beware pandora's box...

Pandora says beware the box to not all birds just mainly hawkes she has no guilt because she's free to sit and wait beneath a tree but this old bird says she can claim to share her pleasure without shame but hawkes like cats are pretty sly and knows when caught the fur will fly so now he waits pandora's feat while sitting in the cat-bird seat..  |

i said "hawks", not "hawkes", dear wings! (that rebel bird's quite clever! i never mentioned him by name! would i do that? no never!) this kitty is a bit more slick than what you might imagine - she does not mention birds by name, although that's out of fashion! now, if you'd LIKE me to pursue a HAWKE that is a rebel, mewing can start right NOW, and you will hear meows in treble.... so threaten me all that you'd like, rebellious wing'ed poet, and just dream on of flying fur - dreams are just dreams, so know it! because i said that i liked hawks, i didn't point a finger... but if you beckon me to come, pandora's pounce might linger! i never took too kindly to big birds with words that threaten - so please don't rub me wrong, dear wings, pandora's box, you're bettin'! rofl... meeeeeeeeeeeoooowwwta here < !signature--> beware pandora's box...

Ok, I'll give in..*g* Laughing when I should be worrying Crying when I should be thinking I'm lucky Yelling at the cat when he drops a dead mouse on the bed at 06:25am instead of saying "good boy Snoops, thanks for bring me a present" Grrrr! Being caught smiling at the nice guy's bum when his girlfriend catches my eye...ooops Leaving today's bills unopened and having a cognac instead, the former will make me sad, the latter will make me hiccup...*g* Ranting and raving and hitting the send button and then thinking, "oh well, it's gone now, can't get it back" and wondering at the reaction...oooops Feeling guilty all the time and thinking life is just too damned short... Sleeping naked and loving the pleasure of smooth silky sheets...*g* Answering the phone "I'm awfully sorry, I'm tied up right now, please leave a message and I'll return your call later when I'm untied" and laughing cause they don't realise I'm not an answering machine at all...*crazy humour* Never feeling guilty when watching someone smile.... Boring life, huh?...ROFL, or maybe I just kept the bad bits to myself..*g* HUGS |

Guilty pleasures - Staying home from work when I'm not sick and taking time out for a 'fantasy nap' in the afternoon. Novels by Joan Smith (ok, I admit it. Regency novels that take me about 2 hours to read. When I'm 'hiding' from the world, they help me escape. Rice Krispie treats. |

Guilty pleasures, eh? I have a few... Being able to just stare at Abrahm (my boyfriend) when he's driving...I love to just watch him. Ritz crackers, salami, and cheese....yum... Coloring in coloring books....yes, I'm nearly 17, but I still love to do that... Driving by myself at night with all the windows open and the radio blaring....I love that. Well, that's all I can think of at the moment....good idea here, serenity! *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

Guilty pleasures? Nope, not me...I'm innocent and pure...don't smoke, don't drink. Well, I guess it depends on what you consider guilty--I swear sometimes (not that that's a big pleasure, but you know what I'm saying), and I do enjoy magazines like Cosmo and Glamour. Then of course there's chocolate and all the time I spend online when I should be doing real work. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near...

Hmm..I'm not sure what that really means, but I'll give it a try. * Taking time to actually let a strange stare of appreciation know I noticed by smiling back. * Sharing fantasies with trusted friends. I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any right now. |

"stupidity" or there again .... "brazeness" or "exhibitionism" or just plain "desperation" ~~~~~~~ chris sounds like a good plan ....though she's suspiciously quiet ..wonder why! ...phiLip ~~~~~~~ still not playin' though  |

Ok, I'm back. Seems my name has been called and I guess the jig is up. So, let's cut to the chase.... "guilty pleasures"?, asks serenity....ok, I will answer in verse.... no guilt I feel from pleasures taken, lest my heart has been mistaken. simple things complete my pleasures - ice cream cones with double measures, cabernet, shrimp peel-and-eat, pool halls and kind words, too sweet, riding down a highway, smiling, notes for poems in books, compiling, talks of dreams all filled with rhyming, music, danced out to heart's timing, books and books-on-tape complete me, friends I've never met to meet me, roller skates on kids in kitchens, sweaters fit with double-stitchin's, chopin, stevie ray, and jagger, moon's dark side can make me stagger, coffee, cream, shared in the morning, thunderstorms without a warning, walking solitaire on beaches, honesty, and all it teaches, words from caring love's protection, confidences resurrected, trust and hope and parlayed wishes, dining on blue willow dishes, holidays while family gathers, bubble baths, vanilla lathers, tanned skin soaking sun's illusion, forgive myself of life's confusion, watching films on television, discussing plato and religion, reading shakespeare by the fire, rock-n-roll and blues inspire, short sonatas on pianos, harmonizing with sopranos, brunch out on an autumn sunday, constellationed skies on monday, on and on and on i ramble, pleasures taken are no gamble, no guilt i feel from joys and pleasure, peaceful breezes while in leisure. no guilt I feel from pleasures taken, lest my heart has been mistaken. ~ all you can really ever expect out of life is a sincere apology and some decent poetry ~ |

Philip, I've been thinking too...and it's okay. You see, I got an e mail yesterday from someone who shall remain anonymous, so for the purpose of this post, I shall call them, Anon. Anon stated that I was remiss throughout this entire thread, as I was asking of the forum what I could not seem to produce myself. Anon was referring to my on-going battle with chemical dependance. Now I'm not even sure if that is a proper term--some days it is more like a love affair than a battle. But I did think about it, Anon, and while my starting post did not ask for ALL of one's guilty pleasures, I agree that in the spirit of honest self-inventory, I would indeed be remiss if I did not at least mention it. So, Guilty? ABSOLUTELY. I confess. I am thirty-nine years old. I started getting high when I was nine. That's thirty years of self-delusion. I was molested at age seven by a neighborhood boy. (teen-ager, actually) I was his continued sexual experiment for two years, until he finally moved away. Ironically enough, I started "using" at that time, and never stopped. But I am confused at this point as to whether or not I can consider this "pleasure". Perhaps it is the absence of pain that I mistook for pleasure. There are days when I wake up, and I am shaking like a chihuahua. (Like right now--smile with me, please.) Maybe this is more of a debate for the philosophy forum--I have described it to another friend as being as natural to me as reaching for a warm blanket when I'm cold. But I'm unsure as to whether that can be construed as "pleasure". I did not begin this odyssey to feel good, I began with the desire to feel NOTHING. So for what it's worth, Anon, here is your reply. Perhaps it is a guilty pleasure of yours to watch me running naked through the forum. I'll leave that one for YOU to think about. So on that note, I'll close this wordy business by stating it was never my intention to cause anyone any pain. This was all done in a spirit of "fun", but I thank you for the "think"--and to the rest of the forum may I add my gratitude, and a bit of advice? Don't be too hard on yourselves. It is my humble opinion (of course) that if any of us were perfect we would not be here. So hugs to all, and have a peaceful Sunday--and brrr---it's a bit cold in here...grin. Just kidding people. PEACE. |
