beetigerI rarely do this kind of stuff, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyperegrine tagged me, so I'll indulge her.
Guilt:
Culinary - Marshmallow Peeps - Yay! It's almost Peeps season! There's no way that these aren't objectively horrible, but I just crave these in-season. (Forget those Marshmallow ghosts and stuff that Just Born tries to push on us in other candy seasons; they're Just Not Right.)The purple ones are the best. (Yes, they all taste identical, I don't care.) The scariest part is, they are actually best slightly stale. So the right way to do it is to open the package, at just one 'cause you can't wait, and then put them aside for a few days. They also make good microwave s'mores. Peep squish!
Literary - 'Cosmo' magazine - It's so dreadfully offensive, but I can't resist picking one up if I see it at the doctor's office or something. When I used to travel alone for work, I'd let myself buy one if I had a wait in the airport. I grew up looking at my mother's copies, and somehow it stuck.
Audio(visual) -Open Forum with Harold Camping- This is an evangelist Christian call-in radio program, where the head of Family Radio answers questions about the Bible. He got a lot of crap for mispredicting the end times back in 1994, but apparently people still trust him. He says that all organized churches have been taken over by Satan, and that True Believers should leave them. He's crazy, but really quite consistent. I enjoy trying to figure out what he's going to say in response to any particular question. When I drive by myself in the evenings, I listen.
Musical - Deborah Harry. Her music hit me at a critical time in my adolescence, during my parents' divorce. I used to play "Heart of Glass" over the phone to a boy, whole phone calls just listening to albums together from two locations. Unfortunately, her range is so different than mine that I sound like squeaky hell whenever I try to sing along. But I still somehow feel driven to perform "Rapture" in Karaoke bars.
Celebrity - Paul Simon. He's cute, he's a good lyricist, I've had a crush on him since the eighth grade, and I can ignore the fact that he's kinda sold out and turned into a grade-A asshole in recent years. I recently bought Rhys a copy of a new Sesame Street video just 'cause he had a guest appearance in it.
I tag...you! But only if you wanna.
