Pleasure?

I've heard myself use the words "guilty pleasure" a lot lately... in reference to a song, movie, reality show, drink... or some such... whatever. AKA... soft serve ice cream cones from McDonalds... 1.05 with tax, low in calorie... mmm... guilty pleasure.

But I don't really find much pleasure in guilt (nor do I want to)... and don't usually ACTUALLY feel guilty. Soooo maybe I need to come up with some other phrases for those things like:
  • I feel sheepish that I "X"
  • I know I'm ridiculous but I ...
  • I admit it... I know all the lyrics to
  • I shamelessly...
  • I like to "X". Guilty as charged... (is using guilty in this way the same, hm?)
Or...uh, over analyze much? Perhaps.

This is a fun exploration of a commonly accepted "ism". Great wordplay. Love it!
