What was my guilty pleasure? Most of the women there posted about a glass of red wine, faking a stomach ailment to get some alone time in the bathroom, popping a big zit, reality tv. Nope. Not odd or guilty enough to win the contest.
Dale picked Divamommy who likes to shampoo her carpet to drown out the noise of the kids.
"I love that Divamommy finds 'guilty pleasure' in cleaning. Thunderously loud, escapist cleaning. It's a sort of overachieving guilty pleasure, as opposed to just, say, just swallowing ice cream."
Me? Well, Teen Titans fan fiction. Now you all know. Or maybe you don't. Teen Titans...don't know who they are? Well - the photo here is of the cartoon characters, however, they were originally a DC Comics title starrign Robin (Dick Grayson of Batman & Robin), Kid Flash, and Aqualad. They were shortly joined by Wonder Girl and Speedy (Green
Arrow's sidekick). In other words - a sort of junior Justice League. (Please don't make me define the Justice League...just google/wikipedia it).Fan fiction is fiction written by fans. The most prolific site is Fanfiction.net. Currently there are over 23,000 fics for Teen Titans, though most are crap written by pre-teens and have no plot, so character development and are short fan-love fics that aren't worth reading. (omigosh I'm critiquing Teen Titans fanfic).
In any case, other the past few months I've really gotten into Batman and the whole DC Comics universe. I even recently bought my first comic book - Battle for the Cowl #3. Whenever I go to Barnes and Noble or a used bookstore I go first to the graphic novel/comic book section to check out their selection.
Randy, of course, encourages this wholeheartedly, since, as he says, it makes me officially the coolest wife ever. I play video games and read comic books.
I think it just makes me a huge nerd. And now that I'm basking in the afterglow of my victory, I don't think I'll stop. So, there. I'm flying my freak flag mighty high right now.
