My guilty non-green pleasures and how I will never be extreme-green...

I know I am much greener than most people. But I don't feel I will ever be extreme green. It just is not possible at this point for some things and other things I just can't give up.  My list of things that at this point will never turn green:

Soda - I was doing so good for awhile but I am now back to one a day, shame on me.
Gas - I really wouldn't mind giving up driving for the most part if I could live near pretty much everything I need.
Girl Products - I have heard of the re-usable maxi pads from the same companies that make re-usable diapers but I don't think I will ever have it in me to wash that stuff.
TV - or video games, computers, etc. Really they are not that bad, but use up unnecessary electricity.
Packaged Foods - My consumption of them has declined but I will not be one to live off only fresh foods and bulk grain.
Magazines - I know they can be read on the computer and save trees, but I love having one to hold and they are easier to keep in the bathroom in paper format.
Paper in General - I am anally organized and keep paper copies of most items although I have them on computer, say my calendar. I have about 4 different calendars that I am constantly updating. Although I do get electronic versions of most bills.

If you had to pick one thing you could not give up to be green, what would it be?
