Five Things on Friday - Not So Guilty Pleasure Edition

I'm reclaiming my life. I don't even know what that means, but it occurred to me recently, when I quick shut up and quit singing something in the grocery store. Not because I don't want people in the grocery to think I'm crazy for walking down the aisles singing, but because I don't want them to think that I am so un-hip that I listen to what is basically a kid's group.

I do this all the time. I love things, full fledged and excitedly, and I hide them because I don't think they are cool enough.

It's time to grow up. Like what I like. Embrace who I really am, forget about what everyone else thinks. So, here we go: public announcement.

Five Things I Don't Feel Bad About Liking


1. R5 - I can't help it. They are so catchy and cute and holy crap, I could listen to "Pass Me By" on repeat all day long. I'm even going to forgive them for using "livin' yolo" as a lyric, as if that's a real word. And it's not just about Russ, despite what's going on in #2. It's about the whole sound. It's so happy. Even their sad songs are happy and hopeful. It makes me wanna dance and laugh and throw my hands in the air. I like that, okay? I like feeling like there's something worth smiling about.

2. Austin and Ally - I watch this with Brynna and Maren all the time, and I like it because it's almost never mean, it's cute, Trish is awesome and seriously, adult shows could learn a thing or two about "will they, won't they" from this. They date, they break up. They're in love, they're with other people. He wrote her a love letter, she keeps his flower card. It's crazy. And even though I know, it's Disney, I can't help but stop everything and watch when it's an episode I haven't seen. I even watch when the girls aren't home, shhh. This isn't the only Disney show that I can't seem to turn away from. I also love Good Luck Charlie and Gravity Falls. But nothing is as addictive as Austin and Ally.

3. Seth Rogen - It started with Freaks and Geeks, but you know what? I'm sunk. I've spent the last few weeks watching everything he's ever done (that I can get my hands on for free). And you know, some of it sucks. Although, I loved Green Hornet and I know most people hated that. I hated Paul. But I watched the whole freaking thing. Because *sigh* Seth Rogen. I mean, really, Ian Sommerhalder, Jensen Ackles and Seth Rogen. Will someone please explain my type to me.

4. Pizza rolls, Kool-Ade, Spaghetti-O's and Peanut Butter Spoons - I also like fancy-schmancy food, but there is nothing like a peanut butter spoon and spaghetti-o's for supper. When the kids are away.

5. Candy Crush - I have been on level 125 for three weeks. I still can't quit playing. Also, I refuse to link it to Facebook, because of all the game requests, so I have to do quests. Yep. Still sold. I wish I could quit you.

What about you? Willing to share anything you love that maybe sometimes wish you didn't?
