TPBM
Lol! I have given that some thought a long time ago. Maybe I'll include as thing to do before I die.TPBM no longer reads anything but ebooks.
I still have a collection of paperbacks at home, so no, I don't read many ebooks. Paper is easier on my eyes than a computer screen.TPBM likes to take naps during rainy and windy weather.
Nope! I love being outside, letting the wind push me to where it wants to go.TPBM has a throw pillow they love
I sleep with it every night. My elderly kitty Smokey loves it too. She claims it's her pillow and she just lets me use it. Hehe! ^_^TPBM is not ashamed of admitting he or she is a Nickelback fan.
If I were I'd likely not be ashamed of it, but I'm not. (I have a strange taste in music, and like things like Apparat — A Bang in the Void and Anna Von Hausswolff Plays An Epic Pipe Organ In New York and Caravan Palace — Rock It For Me.)TPBM went to sleep listening to the above before they completed their TPBM.
I'm still wide awake, but it's definitely not my kind of music. Sorry, Guy!TPBM cringes at the thought of sitting at a school desk or on a park bench with graffiti on it.
Lol! No apology required for having your own tastes! Graffiti does not make me cringe, so I don't have a problem with it. Instead I will, sometimes wonder who created it and why and where is s/he now.TPBM is excited by the challenges to be explored today.
It depends on what those challenges are, which I don't know yet. Sometimes I procrastinate and sometimes I face them head on. We'll just have to wait and see how this day progresses.TPBM is a night owl.
Sort of, in a limited way for an off night. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.TPBM carries a small red journal with them almost everywhere they go.
I kind of did that as a habit for a little while only I kept it over a friend's house in case anything struck me for inspiration.TPBM watches a LOT of YouTube.
I watch You Tube videos whenever my brain feels like mush. My favorite channels are What Culture, Buzz Feed, College Humor, and Cracked. I especially like Cracked's "Honest Advertisements" with Roger Horton. Those are hilarious. :)TPBM thinks that Marcellus Black is an awesome name for a professional wrestler who used to play football.
Yeah I guess so.And Garrison it's funny that all the things you mentioned you watch on YouTube because I either watch all of them or used to watch them. What's the chance of that?? :D
TPBM is right now having some great time with family.
I just wolfed down my early Thanksgiving dinner with family, so I believe that counts. And CJ, that is indeed a wonderful coincidence! Speaking of You Tube videos we both like...
TPBM laughed while watching College Humor’s “If Google Was a Guy” videos.
That is a hilarious series! "Is baby powder made out of babies?" "You
know
it's not!!?" lol.TPBM (like the person AM) loves most when the humor to something is done so stupid yet is funny!
"Why do farts smell?""One of the most important painters of all time and you want to know why farts smell!"
Yes, I'd say that's accurate, CJ. Hehe!
TPBM was once referred to as a giant teddy bear.
Nope can't say I have.TPBM has gotten teary eyed at Simpsons episodes that tug at the heart strings (the ending of "Mother Simpson" from season 7 comes to mind).
I wouldn't necessarily say teary-eyed, but the episode about Homer's childhood dog Bongo comes to mind when I think of tugging at the heartstrings.TPBM has at least one character in his or her stories named Corey.
I do not.TPBM now enjoys a food that they at one time loathed.
It's not really a food, but I've learned to like plain chamomile tea. Sometimes it tastes like pool water, but it's better than caffeine any day of the week.Whenever TPBM has an excess of money, he or she likes to donate some of it to a reputable charity.
Excess money? I wish! ;-) I do give to my local food bank.TPBM is able to relax when standing in service line ups.
As long as I'm not in a hurry or already in a bad mood.TPBM thinks it's funny to read 1-star reviews of their favorite books, especially really popular/classic ones.
Usually people who give one-star reviews so frequently have an axe to grind, so no, I don't particularly enjoy reading those.One of TPBM’s self-destructive habits is peeling the white excess off of his or her fingernails as opposed to using clippers.
I do not. At least not anymore, now that I'm advancing into being aged.TPBM has at least one tattoo.
Not even one. I have a low threshold for pain, so getting drawn on with a needle is out of the question.TPBM has zero interest in playing fad games like Minecraft and Pokemon Go.
Yep pretty much. I almost wanted to try out Minecraft then felt to not even bother because I heard it's become more geared toward kids.TPBM when they don't think they will be able to play a certain video game instead watches let's plays of that game on YouTube.
That became true with me when it came to Mortal Kombat. I tried it once, but sucked at it, so now I just use You Tube demonstrations of it for creative fuel. Holy cow, that's a lot of creative fuel!TPBM has seen the movie Suicide Squad and loved it.
Nope, not seen, and so completely indifferent to the movie.TPBM has heard the music of Alcoholic Faith Mission.
Not really my cup of tea. Mmmmmmmmmm, iced tea.TPBM once considered a career as a psychological therapist.
In a way... a Jungian Analyst.TPBM dropped something from their kitchen today and broke it.
Thankfully, I haven't done that recently, let alone today.TPBM has at least once shopped for Christmas presents as early as August.
Not that I remember. I'm not even close to being that well organized.TPBM is reading a book of poetry tonight, for a change.
Not tonight. I'm getting ready to read a nonfiction book instead called "Titan Screwed". I hope it's good.TPBM believes in the phrase “less is more”.
Yeah I guess so.TPBM isn't quite finished Christmas shopping yet.
Actually, I finished mine back in August and September.TPBM is a fan of the rock group Sick Puppies.

It's funny, right when I was coming up with the above comment I saw an earlier of yours that said about that, hehe.
Nope haven't heard of them.
TPBM would listen to indie rock music than most of the popular "junk" playing out there today.
It doesn't matter to me if the rock songs I listen to are mainstream or independent as long as they're good. TPBM likes to give rhyming nicknames to his or her pets (examples from my life include Piper-Diaper, Saggy-Maggie, Tori-Dori, Smokey-Pokey, and Stitches-Bitches).
The closest to that is when someone owns an adorable canine I call it a "doggy-woggy." Haha.TPBM doesn't know what they want for Christmas.
I have a long list of books and CD's this year. Having a long list makes me easy to shop for. :)TPBM is affected by ASMR triggers (tingling scalp sensations) and watches massage videos on You Tube to get the feeling.
I am not.TPBM still listens to CDs and iPod as music source more than streaming.
Yes, I do.TPBM enjoys the song “House of Wax” by Paul McCartney (or Tarja Turunen since she covered it once).
No, I don't.TPBM has visited an exotic club before?
Umm . . . no? TPBM does not have a fever?
I'd say that's pretty accurate, Lee.TPBM is a fan of Alter Bridge.
Just looked Alter Bridge up. I don't think I've heard their songs before.TPBM has just seen a movie or plans to see one in the theaters soon!
I'm dying to see The Lego Batman Movie, so that'll be a lot of fun when I eventually go. :)TPBM once spoiled his or her dogs by feeding them Spam.
I don't have a dog . . . anymore.TPBM is listening to music.
I'm currently listening to a Sting CD called "The Living Sea". Very comforting and peaceful.TPBM enjoyed watching Disney’s 1973 animated version of Robin Hood.
I'm not sure if I watched that, I don't think I did.TPBM loves chocolate ice cream.
