I didn’t know I was _supposed_ to be ashamed of liking Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus.” _hangs head in shame_ ---

::whispers:: I listen to 80s music. Voluntarily. And I sing along. I also lust after flamingly gay animated men. Blue ones. 🙂 ::swoons:: ---

I hate how I look. In 99% of the rest of my life I like if not downright love who I am. But I hate my looks. Low self esteem covered by a damn tough shell of confidence. And I hate that I hate how I look. (did that make any sence?) ---

Sometimes, if I can’t find a toothpick at a restaurant, I pull out a piece of my hair and I floss with it. I bought the George Michael CD box set, but I _did_ buy it used. I’ve never tried Circus Peanuts. ---

I once ate all the berries out of a box of Cap’n Crunch crunchberries–but I left the crunch part. Also, I secretly watch Xena and I’m not a lesbian. How embarrassing! ---

I love singing along to Tom Jones. I do a good impression of Mr. Bean. Too good, really. My wife is actually disturbed by how accurately I can portray Mr. Bean. I can’t dance. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by frock75 \* > **I find myself oddly fascinated by the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts info-mercials.** Me too. I don’t find them funny. It’s the morbid fascination of watching dead people insult each other. I also have an unhealthy fixation on the comic book character Vampirella. One Halloween a model dressed as her suprised me with a hug. I was so suddenly overcome by desire that I became nauseous and threw up. (Not on her, thank God.) I blamed it on the beer. I look like a Marine, but inside I’m a hopeless geek. ---

Oh. No, I’m not anime. Definitely not anime. I thought your post may have been to me because I _am_ blue, and I’m not animated, but I am _drawn_, and your reply was a reply to me. Good luck with your shameful quest. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-shame/84207.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-shame/84207.md?page=5)
