Oh god, Daizex, you're bringing back memories.

When I was 8, I had a couple of older friends (around 12), that convinced me I was a Saiyan. One of them even got their *FUCKING BUFF STATE CHAMPION WRESTLER* elder brother, 17 years old, in on it. He "challenged" me to a "fight", and I used "kaioken" on him, and I "won".

I felt pretty awesome that spring break... and then I went back to my regular 3rd grade life, tried to smash bullies with Kamehamehas, and got my ass kicked worse than before. Thanks; Middle School Douchebags :D!

If they did, it's nothing to be afraid of. Even Goku's done it before.

I subconsciously do the "rkkrk-" thing when I'm picking up heavy things and doing other stressful activities instead of grunting.

And when I'm alone, I'll shout random attack moves.

All of you do it. Don't lie to me.

Oh, and I've tried to fandub a scene or two, but now I'm hesitant to upload them (thanks to the Toei zerg rush).

I do the arm motions to "fire" a Kamehameha at my sister CONSTANTLY.

It annoys her to no end.

To this Day "Scenes from a Memory" is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I don't really think that should count as a "guilty pleasure" though, Dream Theater is an incredible band.

A "guilty pleasure" is something that, if someone caught you doing and went "wtf", you'd be fumbling over yourself to explain.
Liking Dream Theater isn't a guilty pleasure, but liking the History of Trunks Funi soundtrack sure is. I hate when Funi just tosses songs like that in.

This is the greatest thing ever.

My guilty pleasure is buying Dragon Ball Gashapons. I've got tons of them, I don't even have space to put them anywhere anymore, I've spent loads of money, but I keep buying them, I've got almost all the villains! Next collection: Sauza and Restricted Super Saiyan Broli! :D

I still play Final Bout.

And hate every minute of it.
I'm not ready for this.

Ultimate Battle 22!

That was the game to play, so sloppy but with great music and presentation, I really liked it!

Ah, imitating the Kamehameha move when you're by yourself.

Pfft! I imitate the bloody Burning Attack (for lack of a better name) when I'm by myself. I'm pretty good at it too. Now if only it would actually spawn a bright yellow ball of destruction...

Holy crap, how could I forget this, what a fantastic, yet horrible game.

Sorry to disappoint, I live in the UK, but am actually from Portugal. If I do it, it will most probably be in Portugal :P

I once did the "kkkkkkkkkkkk" sound the characters make in the Japanese version when they're angry to open a jar. I'm not sure if I'd call it a guilty pleasure though because it worked.

Maybe a bit off-topic, but I never did understand that sound. I mean, I've done my fair share of strenuous activity and endured a fair bit of pain, but I never started... well, making that kind of sound. Maybe it's a Japanese thing? =P

As for my guilty pleasures... well, I occasionally do kamehameha hand motions when I'm bored (not full re-enactments), and I happen to think that Goten and Trunks are the cutest pair ever. Don't tell your friends, though--it's a secret! ;)

Reminds me of the breathing in a Ki-development-based Karate Kata called Sanchin.

Trying to find the photo on facebook but there is one of me and my friends taking our senior band group photo and we are doing the Ginyu pose in the back of the bleachers.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

Alright. I PMed everyone who said they were interested in my notes on Ki. I didn't feel like making a wall-of-text that was completely off-topic.
