Guilt sheep

For the record, I don't approve of guilt about this sort of thing, and I don't feel guilty about any of the following answers. Slightly sheepish, maybe ;-)
(I don't tag. Consider yourself tagged if you want to be.)
*A colleague died in a car crash, aged 22, about two weeks ago, and a lot of us from work went to the funeral. I didn't know her very well, but the funeral was still upsetting, as are - I guess - most funerals of young people who die in accidents. From the funeral I went straight to the dentist for my first ever fillings. Monday was not a fun day.

| Guilt | What's yours? | Explain yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Culinary | Tinned macaroni cheese | Childhood comfort food. I'm perfectly capable of cooking the real thing, but it doesn't hit quite the same spot. I was craving it on Monday after spending the day at a funeral, then getting fillings*, but we sadly had none in the house :-( |
| Literary | The Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. Started off 90% plot and 10% sex, and by the time I gave up (circa book 10), the ratio had reversed. | Still don't feel guilty about them though. They're fun, and there's even some interesting stuff in the world background. |
| Audiovisual | I love American high school films, especially those with cheerleaders in them, but I don't even feel sheepish about it. | Cheerleaders! Bitching! Snark! Slashiness! |
| Musical | I sometimes find myself singing along to Bon Jovi songs on pub jukeboxes | I loved soft rock in my early teens, and it still all lives in my head somewhere. |
| Celebrity | Not interested in any of 'em. | There are actors I think are good, and whose presence will encourage me to see a film, but I don't understand why we're expected to care about their personal lives. |

Owww. I hate going to the dentist. You have my sympathy.
I have to ask - did you arrange the double ick on the ground that you weren't going to enjoy Monday, so would squeeze as much nasty stuff as possible in?

No. The dentist appointment was an emergency one, and it looked for a while as if I'd have to miss the funeral to go :-(
