Weekly Short Stories Contest and Company! discussion

Uh, no. Definitely not.

TPBM is tired.

No. I'd better not be. I'm reading the poems then the stories for week 149.

TPBM has already come up with the perfect idea for the picture prompt.

Oh yes! I love the picture. I'm writing something about spiders.

TPBM is looking forward to this New year's day!

Yes. I'll raid my stash.

TPBM is watching NCIS Los Angeles.

Well, it is only 10:51 here, so not yet. But undoubtedly I will.


TPBM finds that the writing is more important in a movie or tv show than the acting.

It's important but it's nothing if crappy actors are performing it.

TPBM has to clean today.

Yes, but I’m putting it off as long as possible.

TPBM isn’t looking forward to the end of the holidays.

No because that means I have to go back to doing math. But, on the flip side, it means it'll be less time until I get to see my brother.

TPBM is avoiding everyone downstairs.

Yep!!!

TPBM is somewhat proud of their loner-ness.

TPBM wishes they had some soda."

ALEX!!!!!!! NEVER HEARD OF LOOKING FOR ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I SUPPOSE YOU'VE NEVER READ THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, EITHER???????!!!!!!!!!

XD Stephanie said that she hadn't. Also, calm down. Haha

No, I'm not proud of my loner-ness.

TPBM is having trouble with their parents and banks.

It's bad enough to have trouble with either one of those!

TPBM is craving dark chocolate.

No, I don't like dark chocolate.

TPBM is sad there's nothing to eat in the house.

(Gasp!) Stephanie doesn’t like dark chocolate.

Nope. I prefer milk chocolate.

No. I'm eating food right now XD

TPBM is appalled that Stephanie doesn't like dark chocolate XD

No. Individuality and individuals are important to me. Incomprehensible, but important.

TPBM thinks that the fiscal cliff is a man-made economic hobgoblin.

I have no idea. I do think that politicians have no idea what the word deadline means though.

TPBM wishes there was something good on t.v.

at this moment? yes.

TPBM is playing the wii.

Nope.

TPBM wishes they were playing the wii.

Nope.

TPBM wishes dinner was ready.

Not really, seeing as though it's not even lunchtime for me.

TPBM is sick of all the firesafe preparation stuff.

Nope. For some reason I've never been intrigued by the WII, and I've never played it. Instead I am watching the quietly brilliant but almost unheard of movie Lullaby for Pi.

TPBM prefers to celebrate the New Year with friends and family rather than out at a big bash filled with strangers.

Yes. I did that and we all got to play the Wii!!

TPBM was glad to have celebrated saying goodbye to a good year while it lasted.

Is it over already? I’m stuck in the past!

TPBM is having a scrumptious breakfast!

No

TPBM Is at the ski jumping at Garmisch-Partenkirchen where there's a chance somebody will win.

No, I don't ski.

TPBM's legs hurt.

No, but I have a toe that is annoying me just a little.

TPBM just finished sneezing so hard that they had to clean their monitor. Ugh!

Lol, no.

TPBM is wishing people in their house would watch something other than t.v. shows about houses.

Hahaha, no, I love those shows.

TPBM believes in strong coffee?

I don't drink coffee.

TPBM wishes they had some extra sharp cheddar cheese.

Sounds good to me.

TPBM is having a ham for dinner tonight?

Mmmm, that sounds good.

TPBM is thinking of watching Supernatural.

No, sounds scary.

TPBM is so glad it's a whole new year!

Sure.

TPBM is hanging with the family.

No. Just my wife.

TPBM is reading the Harry Potter novels in French.

No, but I wish I owned the Harry Potter novels and could read them in French.

TPBM is back to school today.

*Happy jig* Nope, never been and never intended to.

TPBM is shocked at what some books rate?

Yup.

TPBM is watching Duck Dynasty.

Don't even know what that is. At first I wondered if it was related the Marx brothers.

TPBM is watching Duck Soup.

I don't know what that is :D

TPBM has a family full of sick people to take care of?

(I mean in the physical sense not mentally :D)

No thank goodness.

TPBM should go to bed soon.

Well, probably. But undoubtedly it will be delayed for a couple more hours yet.

TPBM thinks that diamonds as a gem are overrated.

Well, no. I'm not a mocha drinker. Now, the unsweetened soy-milk macha lattes? Well, that is a different story.

TPBM is struggling to interpret a difficult dream sequence.

Well I was. I can't believe I have gotten sick. But at least it is a bearable sickness...

Oooh. And Guy. I know about the movie Duck Soup. I haven't seen it though. I am more of a Three Stooges kind of guy.

TPBM hopes their bookstore located nearby doesn't shut down (though it seems to be happening everywhere else that contains these things that people seem to not care much about. lol).

Why go to a bookstore when you can download books on e-reading devices? I love bookstores, too! I have a sad feeling, though, that the same fate awaits them that was in store for movie rental places when services such as Netflix became available.

TPBM has a lot to do today but nothing that it’s easy to get excited about.

I don't have a lot to do and none of it is going to excite me.

TPBM just woke up.

About an hour ago yes.

TPBM has gotten a lot done since getting up?

Does eating breakfast and cleaning up afterwards count? If so, then yes. But the day will be busy.

TPBM has yet to completely read an e.book.
