I agree. And also those things on the iPhone where you can say I'm at so and so place. It seems stalkerish to me. someone could  try to track you down at said place. You don't need to share every single minute detail of your day.
Hey, my highly functional relationship is the product of stalking. :P

This might not be considered so much of a "guilty" pleasure, but I found the Royal Wedding very exciting and I just got done watching it.  Most elegant three hours of my life! :smitten:

Really?  What's the detailed story?
I have my cake and eat it too, until it's gone.  Then I can't do either.

I think you're in the majority, Haids. I didn't actually watch it, though. Too much going on in my life lol. I can always youtube it later.

Well, I was hoping! ;) I didn't think that was too much of a confession, but y'know.

I only got to watch 15 minutes of it or so but her dress was so beautiful.  I can't even imagine how nervous she probably was...that would just be absolutely crazy.

Today's big news in America has reminded me of another these.

Don't hate me, but I can't stand that god-awful song "Proud to Be an American." It is terrible. I despite that it became so damn popular after 9/11.

And my hatred of that song goes back much further than that, of note. I was in marching band in high school and we did some Memorial Day parades. That song was one of the ones they would play at one of the stops we made during the parade in my hometown. And I hated it every damn time!

Oh man, I hate that song too...but, embarrassingly enough, when I see a choir of little kids singing it (like at a Veteran's Day assembly or something), I cry like a baby every time. ::) I know! I know!  It's so lame and cliche, but I can't help it!  It's like seeing a bride walk down the aisle--the tears just come and won't stop! :P

Okay, Twilight-related confession time: Stephenie Meyer wrote "The Complete Illustrated Guide" to Twilight, which was released sometime last week.  When I saw it at Target last night, I actually blew the $23 and bought it. ;] WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?! I can't not buy everything that she writes that's related to Twilight!  The fanfic and other books can just blow past me, but whenever I see that Stephenie Meyer has written something new, I must have it!  But, in my defense, it's really interesting.  It goes through the characters, locations, etc. like an encyclopedia, and it's detailed and seems to be answering some of the "in-between" questions.

Please let me live.  I beg of thee!  :sweating:

If you write a nice long piece summarizing and mocking it, then I'll refrain from judging :)

So far there's a 62-page interview between Stephenie Meyer and some other author (Shannon Hale...I'm guessing that's where Rosalie Hale's name comes from?) and I haven't gotten through it yet.  I'll keep you updated and write my mocking piece in the Twilight thread...I want to live!

62 page interview?! What? Why? How--what could they possibly talk about for 62 pages?!  :o

Like I said, it's more interesting than I thought it would be! *Shamefully hides face*  It's divided into sections: the beginning of Twilight, her writing process, on how she feels about her characters and how they shape the story...I got through half of it, but my eyes were drooping and I needed to go to sleep.  I plan on picking it up again in the near future.  ::)

I'm sure Katie and snabbot cry every time they hear it, too. ;)

EDIT: Just so I'm clear, Cat, I'm not making fun of you. :)
So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

I like the sentiment of the song, just not the song itself. :-\

I like most nationalistic songs, but not that one. :P

EDIT: I suppose that's a "Please don't kill me" confession. :P Does anyone else like das Deutschlandlied? :P All awesome anthems are by renowned composers. :D Austria's is by Mozart. :P

Since you're not American, I don't think anyone would necessarily expect you to like it. Well, at least anyone who doesn't think America is the center of the universe. :P

Actually, I'm a dual citizen, but I've considered giving it up at some point in the future because I'd like to acquire English citizenship and I don't think you're allowed to have three. :P
