Weekly Short Stories Contest and Company! discussion

Always. My stomach can't handle the grease very often. But I'll make do with fast food if I don't have time to cook.

TPBM wishes they had more time to read and write.

I have more free time than I need. It's just a matter of getting into the mood of writing. My lack of energy almost cost me a chance at writing "Orange Moon".

TPBM likes Cake (the band, not the food).

I've never heard of them, so no.

And pie too, Angie. Let's not forget pie. Yum! ^_^

TPBM has a blog they'd like to share.

Nope. I don't have time for a blog. Being a busy high school student and all.

Well, I'm not an adult and I've never collected beanie babies, so... no.

TPBM has never actually uses their Christmas stockings to hold presents but as a decoration instead.

No, my stocking gets stuffed...and there's usually a piece of fruit in there to for some reason.

TPBM still wakes up early on Christmas morning because their so excited.

My family always opens presents at midnight, but I still like to wake up early on Christmas because I like how quiet it is before everyone wakes up.

TPBM sucks at wrapping presents.

Yes, the paper never ends up in the right places.

TPBM appreciates a good wrap job.

Yes.

TPBM can identify all 50 states in the US and their capitals (from memory).

States yes, capitals no.

Yes. My life is very boring.

TPBM wishes they weren't so stressed.

Always, and usually over stuff that doesn't even matter, but I just can't help it.

TPBM is glad they live in a state where pot isn't legal.

As a hardcore Democrat, I'd have to disagree with that one.

TPBM got scared the first time they saw the music video to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2".

TPBM collects more books than he or she can read at a time.

No, I can only obsess over one at a time.

TPBM thinks anything tastes better when it's fried.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. In fact, I eventually want to try deep-fried Oreos and Twinkies. To further emphasize that point, I'd want to try deep-fried Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. Yum!

TPBM immediately thinks of fried chicken whenever a news or political show mentions the state of Kentucky.

You got it right, so there'll be no giggling.

Only if there is an unruly crowd that needs to be dispersed.

TPBM currently has a crush on a pop star.

Not pop, but heavy metal, that being Tarja Turunen (formerly of Nightwish fame).

TPBM doesn’t think that chiropractic care is urban voodoo.

I don't know if it is or isn't, but there's no way I'm letting anyone pop my back like that.

TPBM thinks bigfoot is real.

The only Bigfoot I believe in is MMA fighter Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.

TPBM has no idea what it means when somebody says their "heart doesn't pump Kool-Aid".

Does anyone know what that means?

TPBM daydreams about being in an MMA fight(and winning it of course).

It's what I'm thinking about when I'm listening to my heavy metal music. Unfortunately, a daydream is all it can be since I'm too out of shape to be an MMA fighter. Plus, I'm somewhat of a wuss when it comes to feeling pain. I scream like I'm being murdered whenever I bump my elbow or stub my toe.

TPBM also screams like they're being murdered whenever they feel minor pain.

No, I'm fine with minor pain. Unfortunately I'm such a klutz I usually kick the coffee table hard enough to nearly break my toe.

TPBM thinks a kiss really does help the pain go away.

I'd like to think so.

I don't have pets, but it is cute...although I'm not sure that they like it, so I probably wouldn't do it.

I don't have an account but I do love the photography there.

Every once and a while, I'll replay "Diablo II: Lord of Destruction" as a barbarian or paladin. I've always liked playing with characters that were toe-to-toe brawlers.

TPBM doesn't watch the local news because it's too depressing.

I don't watch much of any news...they all seem like they want to twist the facts to trick people.

TPBM wants to have more than three kids when they grow up.

No, I want exactly zero.

TPBM actually likes kids(their own or others)?

I don't have any, but I love others...mostly because I can leave if they're cranky.

TPBM drives a sports car.

I'm not old enough to have a license (or permit for that matter) yet, so no.

TPBM doesn't like the taste of gingerbread but thinks they smell nice.

Close, I'm not a fan of the smell either.

TPBM pictures themselves as the hero of the stories they read.

Sometimes. It depends on the story. Other times, I imagine myself as the villain. *cue evil laugh*

Hmm. I never really thought about that. I guess maybe.
