My worst, embarassing guilty pleasure I shoudl never admit to the public....
I like to buy thoes fuzzy posters you color in.
They are just so fun cause you can never color outside the lines. Very mindless and calming.
I color them in...and then throw them out.
HOLY SHIT! I have a bunch of these too! My (ex) friend and I used to scour Michael's and Toys R Us looking for fuzzy posters and good markers to color with. We tried to get other people to do it too, but they just didn't understand. Did you know they make little fuzzy color-able puzzles too? :P
My other guilty pleasure is Petula Clark. When I'm in a bad mood, I listen to her and she cheers me right up.
Okay one more - solitaire.

I'm back because I thought of more.
This is my favorite sea shanty: http://www.privateerdragons.com/music/drunkensailor.mid
This is my favorite board game:

This is a website that makes me laugh:

And for the past week or so I've been finding it really funny to hum the chicken dance song and then pretend that something has flown into my eye. So I've been doing that a lot.

hehe...all of my pleasures are guilty, nerdy, and embarassing....;D
Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle...I don't know how many times I've seen it, I own it, and I've introduced all of my friends to it.
Video games, mostly old-school, stand-up arcade ones. Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Centipede, a lot of the older/Tekken fighting games...and a driving video game at the 24-hr laundromat down the street from my house...you can pick different locales to drive in (Atlantis, Hong Kong, "Exotic", Vegas, etc)...my recent fave is India, because there are gigantic elephants that poop on you as you're driving.
Rollerskating. Awkwardly. Good god, that's a terrible word. awkward.
Ditto with playing with my grown-up sized hula hoop.
Comix, like Love & Rockets, Diary of a Dominatrix, Butterscotch, Strangers in Paradise...
Reading this list, I realize my guilty pleasures probably wouldn't be so guilty/embarassing/nerdy if I was a 14-year-old boy, or a girl in some cheesy 80's movie.
Le sigh.

I was a musical theater major when I first went to college too(before I was talked into changing my major to psych....stupid parents)
We did Into the Woods in high school too!! Me and the drama teacher were mortal enemies, so I was on crew...I would have KILLED to be the Witch!!
