Let's revisit what was, in my own worthless opinion, the single greatest poetry blog thread ever:
Guilty Pleasures

That has to be the greatest thread. I love all of the Felicity refs. One of my guilty pleasures, too. Now the cat's out.
I have big guilt over Barnes & Noble. I know they're a bane to the little guy, but they're open later, have better coffee, and (locally at least) have a much wider selection of books. Related guilty pleasure: reading without buying. [Ducks for cover] Student budget, people! Student budget!
Ah, the guilt. Yup, still guilty here. And I still love this thread.
You, Paul, are my guilty pleasure.
My guilty pleasure used to be professional wrestling, but I don't get much pleasure out of it anymore.
Why the guilt, Ali?! ;)

My guilty pleasure lately is chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate. And butterscotch cookies. (Actually, those rank above chocolate chip ones.) And tea: blueberry or peppermint. Oh, and tv: Survivor and The King of Queens. And I have to admit, Sunday night, I was 'desperate' because Fox wouldn't come in and I was tempted to watch 'Desperate Housewives.' ACK
