Secret Girlyness Shame!!

    Ok, I'd like to think I'm pretty cool and am not the prissiest/girliest of girls. I like dirty jokes, messyness and eating lots. I don't do salads and only take 20 minutes to get ready going out. I love male company and really hate bitchy over make-upped female types. I don't watch soaps or desperate housewives etc. I can't stand beyonce and all those types.

    However, I have a secret shame. A shame that threatens to ruin this non girly image I have of myself.

    I still love the Backstreet Boys. They hold a very special place in my heart. I have all their albums and still listen every few weeks on my ipod. My friend is going to see them in the O2 arena in london but I'll be in NZ at that stage. I was heartbroken!

    Does anyone else have any shameful confessions? Am I the only one?! :)

    Nothing wrong with that, they are (or at least were last time I heard their songs) rather talented, there were and are far less talented boy bands who's only ability is to appeal to teenage girls on a rather shallow level.


    Know I'm a bloke so it probably doesn't count but it's something lads don't normally admit: I regularly enjoy looking at cute (in a cuddly, non-sexual sense) things.

    Come on, you know you want to hug it!

    Awwwwwwwwwww I want to squish it!!


    Take That were always my guilty pleasure but they're kind of deemed as okay now so that's not that uncool to like them anymore.

    I do watch Blue Peter just for Gethin Jones sometimes though, that's sad....I did however finally learn how to make paper airplanes from that show though, result!

    I go all silly over kittens, puppies and babies.

    Love stories where the protagonists can't be together make me blub - stuff like Atonement, Brokeback Mountain and Brief Encounter though, not binty chick flix/lit.

    AGH!! YAY!!! lol.....i LOVE them. i feel like i put in too much time and effort in my teens to give up on them now...
    plus Nick is still a roide! :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 157 ✭✭Babette08


    Was never really a fan of the boy bands growing up - loved the odd song here or there but never walked into HMV to buy an album :D. I do hang my head in shame 4 being a bros fan once upon a time though...i was a deluded little girl ;)

    My other guilty pleasure is Shane Ward - a glimpse of those eyes & i swoon. My bro got me the CD for x-mas - too embarrassed to play it!!

    Well, when I was 14 I was actually in love with him. I saw a picture of him recently and he repulsed me.. seriously what was I thinking? :eek:

    I saw the bb in concert when I was 15 in the RDS. It scares me that that was almost 10 years ago!

    Ah, I'm 17. At 17 we're meant to hate babies.

    Ah no everyone is different - I know girls of your age who can't wait to have a baby. Have never been maternal although I love kids (in small doses). I'd like to have then eventually just too selfish at the moment - my kid would have to be the centre of my universe that's why i think you should live your life as fully as you can before having them.

    On the other hand the earlier you have them the closer you are to them in age...yummy mummy ;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    I don't actually want kids, but you know when you see someone with a baby? and you just want to be like that.

    Facials do rock. <3 spa treatments
