Five Guilts: Tagged by [livejournal.com profile] majorsamfan  
Most memes don't make me think very hard - that's their nature, no? But this one was something of a revelation for me. I don't feel guilt about what I do. I simply don't. Now then...I might be a bit embarrassed by my pedestrian tastes or wish I did something differently and I do feel 12 kinds of guilt about things I do not do, but I don't seem to have a jot of guilt over things I do.

These particular topics aren't my hot button issues but hey, I answered the meme.


Guilt
What is yours?
Explain yourself
Culinary: I'll cook for the dogs when I won't cook for myself. I hate doing dishes. When J's out of town, which is frequently, I literally do not cook. Ever. Unless it's for the dogs. Strange priorities.
Literary: I loathe most depressing "Literature," a.k.a. English class reading lists. I'm a voracious reader - it's one of my great pleasures - but I never developed a love of many of the classics, most especially Charles Dickens, Herman Melville, Sylvia Plath, and Dostoevsky. Nathaniel Hawthorn has his own ring of Hell in my version of the Inferno.
Audiovisual: I don't use my iPod enoughI had a hard time coming up with something here. I lusted after iPods and even got one but I screwed up the settings somehow on iTunes when ripping through all the songs/albums I wanted to archive. The record level was WAY low even though it sounded just fine through my computer's very nice speakers. Playing back through the car speakers gives a nasty signal/noise ratio so I don't use the iPod nearly as often as I thought I would. I SHOULD go back and figure out what I screwed up and then re-rip everything but I just haven't done it yet.
Musical: Pop musicI love anything happy with a beat that makes me want to dance. So, yeah, that means I love stuff that I'm supposed to hate: disco, 80's New Wave, and even some newer stuff since we finally, finally exited the 90's and its grunge inspired Unrelenting Wall Of Sound.
Celebrity: I got nothing.I'm not coming up with anything here. Sorry, but there just isn't any guilt - oh wait, I become a tongue-tied doofus when face to face with someone I admire and/or lust after. Does that count? Not really "guilt" so much as "chagrin," I fear.



Here is where I'm supposed to tag someone. I don't mind being tagged, I even like it for innocuous things like this one, but there's something about me that absolutely refuses to bow to peer-pressure so I just can't bring myself to exert peer-pressure, however inadvertently it may be. It's not that I'm uncurious about the people on my flist; in fact, you're there because I AM curious about you. :) If anyone whose flist I'm on is reading this and wants to do this meme, please consider yourself tagged.

If you want to use the auto-table generator for this quiz to complete this same meme, it's HERE.

*sigh* Every time I try to close the [center] tag, the preview just prints my "[/center]" and I'm too lazy to go back and figure out exactly where the coding issue is and properly place it. Ok, that was just an issue with the preview pane and not my actual post. Cool.
