  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)

  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

I honestly have no pleasures that I feel guilty about. I wear my interests proudly  :)

I grew up on comics, cartoons, punk and the beat writers. I've grown much since then, I'm an artist and I've taught art and of course I've grown aesthetically in my tastes as I've "matured" over the years...but I can still listen to Frank Sinatra next to Bad Brain next to Neutral Milk Hotel...and I can watch Woody Allen next to Ingmar Bergman next to the movie Dude Where's My Car then put on Spongebob...and I can read Archie next to Robert Crumb next to Dick Tracy then switch to Chester Brown :)

I love it all :)

listen: i listen to rap/r&b/ 90's r&b and rap, stuff like that. My family ( except my dad, he don't say anything but if the song comes on the radio in his car he turns it off being mad) thinks and says to me I have weird taste in music, and its total opposite from my mom and sisters. My mom likes the Beatles and stuff like that, and my sisters like rock

I also like watching sitcoms from the 90's. Sister Sister, Family Matters, Step by Step, The Cosby Show, Full House, A Different World, Moesha, etc. Now I'm hooked on 227 but that was in the 80's. Once again my family sees that as weird. Its like I was born in the wrong time period to them xD

the worst one... everyone knows I dislike Justin Beiber... well my friend shared his new song with me and I kind of love it. Not admitting that one to my family, they'd make fun of me for weeks.

That's okay, archiecomicxfan215.  I'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus, but I loved "Party in the U.S.A.".  :)

She's wicked hot in the video.  :smitten:

The only song of hers I really like is The Climb.  But I will confess to somewhat enjoying the Hannah Montana movie; I have seen it a few times. (The show's harder to watch, ironically.)

Thanks to the computer game Audiosurf and my constant desire to find fun songs to play on it, I have developed a liking for bubblegum dance music, despite the fact that most of it is really cheesy.

Because of that, I now have songs by the following artists:
Jenny Rom and/or The Zippers (some credited to Jenny Rom, some credited to The Zippers and some credited to both)
Dr. Bombay, Carlito and Dr. MacDoo
The Cartoons
Aqua

I also have assorted other oddball dance songs ("The Girl and the Robot" by Royskopp, "Oh Le Le" by the Pizza Boys, etc.)

I'm not sure this could be called a "guilty pleasure" but if there's anything I do that I wouldn't want my family to know about it'd be my writing. I'm really secretive about the books I write because they're close to me and when I write them, if I thought my family was going to read what I wrote I would be too reserved on what I wrote about. The idea that these are books only strangers who dont know me will read gives me a little bit of comfort because then I can say whatever I want. I can be very strong in my writing when I know it's for my eyes only.

That i am a closet romantic. it makes me feel rather hypocritical that i enjoy something i am cynical about.  i know the psychology behind it, but still feel a little guilty.

I don't think that's bad at all.  It's just everyone else, but you, is probably an idiot. XD  And I'm being serious about that, you shouldn't have to abandon your ideals about romance because most people are stupid.

And I still don't know what I would list on this thread.  I don't really feel guilty about anything I like pretty much.  lol

Music: Anything my relatives can't understand. Or just don't listen to/never heard of. (Someone literally screamed in my ear, "You listen to Japanese music?!" when I was younger) Or isn't considered "okay" by racial standards. I'm almost surrounded it by it.

Movies: Animated stuff I love. I get told, "Cartoons are for kids."  ::)

Life: The fact that I actually enjoy not having a boyfriend...yet. Some of my relatives think I'm crazy.

Books: I still read Archie Comics.

TV Shows: I love 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s stuff. Sort of grew up on it.
When it comes to food Archie Comics, I'm an expert.

Oh my gosh! My whole family hates his guts! (lol, we're easily exitable people). Especially my brother. He's always complaining about Justin Beiber lip sinking this song, and lip sinking that song. (Not to insult anyone who likes Justin Beiber, I just kind of hate him).

Oooh, almost forgot:

My parents thing I'm crazy because of my "irregular" sense of fashion. I love long, flashy socks (rainbow, stripes, polka dots, you name it), grubby shoes, cutt offs and t-shirts from nerdy websites with slogans on them nobody understands. I have this shirt with a quote from the WhatYouOughtToKnow videos on youtube (look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about, who am I kidding? Of course you don't XD) It says "I Brain You" on the front. (except in place of "brain" it has a cartoon picture of a brain). It's supposed to be a parody of "I heart you" because technically love comes from the brain, not the heart. Brett Winn made a hilariously geeky video on it, so I got the t-shirt and every time I wear it to school, literally five or six people have to ask me what it means. O.O

Also I love old shoes. The older the better. Well, and hats. I have this one hat that my mom had from when she was little and a hippie left it on her front lawn. XD And my dad has (er, had) a pair of ratty old converse that I decided I liked and started wearing every day. And he got all mad at me for "stealing" them. So he ordered some new converse for himself and said he wouldn't let me wear them and I was all, "You'd better hide them well, then."

These are pleasures for me, but you could call them guilty because my mom's embarassed to be seen in public with me XD
