Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show

I don't believe in guilty pleasures and I don't have any. Seriously. I think feeling guilty about pleasure is ridiculous. Enjoying a silly television show doesn't hurt anyone, and shouldn't -- and doesn't -- make me feel guilty or embarrassed.

The television show people are always the most surprised to find out that I enjoy is Lilo & Stitch. You guys, it is a fantastic show, and I adore it most of the time. I don't watch it all the time, but when I am having a particularly awful day, I like to curl up with the cats and read some really good fanfic and watch Lilo & Stitch and eat a Mars bar and drink a pot of coffee.

The other day, I was having one of those days, and I put on the second season of Lilo & Stitch (streaming! Thanks, Netflix!), and my mom said, "You -- uh. You watch this?"

And I held up my stuffed Stitch doll and waved it at her and said, "This has been sitting in the living room since I moved back here! Why did you think I had it?"

She grinned at me and said, "I thought it was Theodore's!" Hahahaha. Yes, I cart around a dorky stuffed animal for my cat. Well, that's not out of the realm of possibility (and Theodore does like to snuggle it, and sometimes carry it around in his mouth), but no. It's mine. It was a gift back when a friend and I had gone to see the movie in the theater, and I've had it ever since.

Now I'm singing "Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship, indisputably the best song of 2007. I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you! A few weeks ago, when I went to the Ford Fiesta tristate launch party where Cobra Starship played a short set, I was dismayed to discover that I was the only person in the crowd doing the dance they do in the below video. Then I learned that my friend Megan was in the back of the crowd, and felt much better, since I have personally seen her do that dance, and know that even if she was not physically dancing right there and then, she was doing it in her mind. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch this YouTube video and do the "Guilty Pleasure" dance in my armchair.
