i admit it...
•i watch mtv, particularly the reality shows, because with some kids that's an entry.
•i have followed wrestling (wwe) when i have kids who kick into it. again because it's a way in.
•of magazines i bring in, i rip out anything to do with sex. kids think it's kinds of stupid. i say -- so what?
•i watch tlc because i hoard stuff, can't paint my apartment and dream big remoldeling dreams.
and i'm frustrated.


...more later

I hate to admit....I actually like a few country songs being a gal who says I don't like country music. Won't admit it if you ask me, but yeah there are a few I like.

lifesaver 05-19-2004 12:10 AM

Heres mine:

I'm cool, but I am addicted to the Hitler Channel - I mean History Channel (all of us call it that becasue 4 outta 5 shows are about WW2)

I still listen to:

Hootie and the Blowfish - (it reminds me of when I first really enjoyed college)

Karyn White (Reminds me of being a freshman in h.s. and hanging out with the older kids)

I wash ice off before I put it in a cup if I am at home. (think of how your freezer smells - if you dont wash ice you DRINK THAT)

All my clothes in myt closet have to be grouped together - shirts (arranged by color) pants (same) and jeans. All hangars have to be the same color and facing the same direction. Also, all l/s shirts have to go to the dry cleaners.

I cant wash my clothes with anyone elses (ick. my clothes swimmin around in their fluids) My towels dont get washed with anythign but other towels.

I have a wierd ritual when I fly. I have to be one of the last people on the plane (unless its southworst) cause I hate sitting there for 20 minutes whiel everyone gets on and gets situated. I really will wait for final boardign call before I get on. (also it helps with that game we all play as people are getting on - the 'oh god, please dont be sitting next to me game') Then I have to listen to the same CD everytime I fly at takeoff and landing - (takeoff is Kid Rock's Only God Knows Why, during flight is Boston's More Than a Feeling, Aretha Frankiln's Chain of Fools, The Hunger's Vanishing Cream, Oasis' Wonderwall and on final approach it has to be Lauryn Hill's Everythign is Everything. The flight attendants always tell me to turn it off as were landing. I know the rule is so that if theres emergency instructions I can hear them. First, I know how to die in a crash. I imagine its a pretty hands off kinda thing. Two, they have to sit down right before you land, so you can put it back on. I actually make a game of it. Passes the time.

I keep really wierd hours. I work for myself and am most productive and creative between 10pm and 4am, so thats when I work. Wake up about 10 am then get ready and start meeting with clients.

ADPiShannan 05-19-2004 12:10 AM

I hate to admit:

I love Britney Spears

I love to watch teen tv shows (ex. WB like Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill)

I am so emotional I cry at commercials and pretty much anything that could be considered sad

pixell 05-19-2004 11:54 AM

I hate to admit it but....

--I'm really competitive...even for no reason sometimes.
--I get really frustrated with people who bother me (especially those I think are stupid)
--I'm addicted to bad tv on VH1
--I listen to country music occasionally (much to my boyfriend's sadness)
--I'm a major slacker

That's all for now. :)

chideltjen 05-19-2004 12:17 PM

I hate to admit:

I also love those bad TV shows on VH1. Especially the ones that feature 5 hours of countdowns. I am glued to the TV for those 5 hours if I have to. I love I Love the 80s as well. I have seen those hundreds of times and they don't get old.

I haven't seen many of the popular movies I should have seen as a child. Example: I have never seen Wayne's World, the 1st 2 Batman movies, only 1 of the Ghostbuster movies and most 80s movies that are staples in people's video collections. I joined Netflix, so I am working on it.

I saw Old School and don't understand the hype. That movie was stupid. :rolleyes:

I was addicted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid. Donatello was my favorite.

I've never been outside of North America but i have been to Hawaii countless times.

lifesaver 05-20-2004 05:09 AM

I forgot:

I'l watch ANYTHING in marathon format: Love Connection, The Peoples Court, Real World, Road Rules, Viva La Bam, Storm Stories, I Love the 80's, CNN Presents, Colonial House. I dont Care; If its' in Marathon format, Ima watchin.

mmcat 05-20-2004 08:00 AM

i got through a year of graduate school in a pair of denim shorts. i finished about the time they did.

AlphaGamDiva 05-23-2004 06:30 PM

ha....i hate to admit:

- i, too, love some PBS....are you being served, keeping up appearances, red dwarf, my new fave being colonial house....fabulous. :) :p

- i secretly hope ppl who stiff me on a tip get into a horrible accident....nothing that kills them....but something that causes them to rely on others to take care of them....and that in that process, they get screwed by the ppl who take care of them. bwahahaha :o

- i will order a large fry, but with a diet coke so it cancels out the millions of fry calories :rolleyes:

FiReKraCkEr 05-24-2004 05:48 PM

....

I have a soft spot for jerky guys...oy

I'm really insecure about my large chest...

I'm really not that much of a B-TCH, I'm a pretty nice person inside

I'm not as strong as I act like, physically and emotionally

Just tell us you washed them occasionally :)

1908Revelations 12-12-2007 06:01 PM

I think this goes into the guilty pleasure/hate to admit pile, but
I LOVE to watch TMZ on TV and I complain that celebs need thier space :o.

whiteandblack 12-12-2007 06:16 PM

I hate to admit, on occasion, I wear black lipliner and blue mascara. I think I do it tastefully.

I like to watch the cooking shows, which is really bizarre because I do NOT cook.
Same here! People think it is so odd when you admit you don't cook. I am addicted to "Top Chef"...I also love cookbooks and recipes, I just never use them.

I also LOVE looking at/for fabric, but I don't know how to sew.

Me Three!!! I look at the cooking shows and sometimes write down the recipes....just to throw it away the next day.:o

SthrnZeta 12-12-2007 11:28 PM

^^ Add me to that list too, lol. I love Giada and the others on Food Network and I'm always like, that sounds easy, I'll have to make that. Riiiiight....

I like everybody on Food Network but Giada because of the OCD way she overenunciates everything, especially commonplace Italian words like "spa-GHEY-tee!" Yes, we get it. You're Italian. Stop showing off. :cool:

SthrnZeta 12-13-2007 11:20 AM

^^ YES! That always cracks me up!

catiebug 12-13-2007 11:34 AM

But she's married to the guy who owns Food Network (or so I heard), so she can get away with that stuff.

That's why I don't use ice...ever...not from anyone's refrigerator, anyway. I also order drinks without ice when possible. I also "sniff" water and tea and other beverages to see if the water smells funky. I refuse to drink tap water or even filtered water from the refrigerator.

honeychile 12-13-2007 11:52 AM

I hate to admit that I feel guilty for having some people on ignore.

ForeverRoses 12-13-2007 12:07 PM

I hate to admit that I am such a snoop at Christmas that I have figured out everything my husband is getting for me. But it's all good stuff so I don't have to fake being happy!

And I love the Food Network and did actually try some of the recipes from Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals and they tasted like a**.

AlethiaSi 12-13-2007 01:47 PM

i hate to admit:
I love those cheesy movies, bring it on, stomp the yard, etc etc.

I am a CSI, Veronica Mars freak

I eat all my sandwiches and all my food all around the outside and then eat the inside last... its the best part!

I always do my roommate's dishes, I hate having dishes in the sink, I'd rather do them than have to look at them.

I smoke more than I am willing to admit.

I love to sleep, almost as much as I like being with people. Usually sleep wins anyway.

I really don't like most of the people I work with. They are too nice, therefore they irritate me.

Most things irritate me.

I feel bad about being irritated.

Cardinal026 12-13-2007 03:54 PM

I hate to admit that I cry over ever single stupid sappy movie, show and commercial - especially ones where the guy puts a necklace on her in her sleep, even that terrible radio ad where the girl is talking about how her boyfriend proposed by putting the ring in the microwave and she says "I almost cooked it!"

BUT - I didn't cry when my fiance proposed. It still really bothers him! ((My argument - I was too excited!!)

33girl 12-13-2007 04:04 PM

I hate to admit that I like all of Paris Hilton's perfumes and I'm waiting for a set of all 4 of them to come out.

scbelle 12-17-2007 08:59 AM

I hate to admit that I'm looking for the New Kids On the Block Christmas CD. I'm a dork like that.

"Have a funky, funky Christmas..."

SthrnZeta 12-17-2007 10:35 AM

I hate to admit that I am also a snoop and knew what my boyfriend was getting me for Christmas :( I also did not have to fake being happy (we did presents early since we won't be together for Christmas). Coach and Tiffanys - you can't go wrong! :D

Sadly, no. There's still New Year's though... And I did make a huge fuss about one of my pledge sisters just getting engaged (she e-mailed me a pic of a candle, lol). No worries, I'll post a pic of the ring when it happens ;)

Girl says: WOW So-and-so just got ENGAGED, that's SOOOOOO AWESOME.
Girl means: Hey, you big dumb jerk! That's your cue. You're supposed to be thinking along those lines too.

Guy hears: Squeak, squeak, some guy just screwed himself over.
Guy thinks: Glad it's not me.


Making a big deal about engagements to a guy is usually NOT a direct enough hint. Direct enough hints include: Pointing out the ring you would like, leaving bridal mags out with sticky notes on the bride and groom saying "YOU" and "ME", and flat out telling him that unless he proposes, you're out of there.:p;)

Yeah, we've talked about it and I straight up told him that I would feel better about us if we were engaged before he deployed. We've talked marriage before and I said (to ease his mind) that engagements aren't legally binding and we know we're eventually getting married anyway, so why not at least get engaged. We just bought a house, people assume it already anyway! When we were clearing out of the apt this weekend and the apt complex lady was walking us out, she asked if there was a wedding anytime soon (in front of his parents!) and he was like, I dunno maybe (in that happy tone, not the shut up you're freaking me out tone). I think it's entirely possible New Years (we've already got reservations at the Palms restaurant in Nashville and a pretty nice hotel) but it's entirely possible he won't at the same time. My mom seems pretty optimistic though which makes me wonder if she knows something... and the parents met over the weekend...

...that Food Network channel has jumped the shark. Every show is some "competition" now.
