Okay, so I was thinking about this and I really don't feel any guilt about any of my actions or inactions. I think that what would be classified as my guilty pleasure is something that will sound completely silly.
:) I'm an 'Net Junkie. Please remember that I did not say that I am addicted to the internet but rather I derive a lot of pleasure by means of knowledge from the information available online. I grew up basically spending most of my time in the library, where I was alone with the books. I am very fortunate to have had the ability to be able to keep reading and studying throughout almost two decades. Though I prefer hard copy text, I prefer the speed and ability to quickly access information available online. I guess I should feel some guilt for being a net junkie but I'm not an addict. I go stints of time purposely not going online just to make sure that I will not become that way. Like I said before, I do not feel guilty about this but it is one of my pleasurable experiences. I just feel there is something amazing when I learn something strange or new, or when I find something and then some more. :)
