TPBM
I don't really like giving/getting cards at all.TPBM knows what Ghost Pepper tastes like?
Can't say that I do. Is it supposed to be spicy enough to set your tongue on fire?TPBM is a Carl Hiaasen fan.
Nope, but ghost pepper would be great for a Halloween story.TPBM likes playing practical jokes on people.
Would "friendly ribbing" count as practical jokes? I love to rib people.TPBM thinks foolish guesses on Wheel of Fortune are funny.
Yes. :)TPBM thinks it's funny when people think that the name Jose starts with an "H".
Even better is when people pronounce the Spanish name Jesus the English way. Hehe!TPBM thinks Snot is a weird name for a metal band.
I did not know that Snot was the name of a band, but yes that is quite weird.TPBM thinks giving pets people names is weird.
Very strange, unless the members perpetually have runny noses.TPBM finds it funny when dentists have bowls of candy by the receptionist's desk.
Hehehehehe! Yeah, that is kind of ironic. In fact, any dentist who does that is the..."King of Irony"!TPBM tries to be sneaky when self-promoting.
Of course not. I shamelessly promote my things in the most obvious way possible.TPBM is entertained by bilingual puns.
I snickered at a story my Spanish teacher told where instead of saying, "The pen exploded in my pocket and embarassed me.", the girl said, "The pen exploded in my pocket and impregnated me." So yes, bilingual puns are hilarious. Hehe!TPBM is glad he or she is not an MMA referee.
I'm fairly indifferent to that occupation.TPBM has blown on dandelions and then tried to catch all the seeds before.
The closest I've come to blowing on a dandelion is sneezing on it. I wish they had children's Allegra back then. TPBM has a playlist on their computer of sad songs.
A playlist and station on Pandora.TPBM has more than a dozen Pandora stations for all of their random moods.
Not Pandora, but I've got those same playlists on Windows Media. I've got one for sadness, romance, fighting, sleeping, and just one for beautiful music.TPBM doesn't understand why Nickelback gets criticized a lot.
I love Nickelback. How could anyone not like them??TPBM sometimes suspects themselves to be bipolar.
Considering that I scream at my computer for being too slow one minute and feel sleepy the next, I'd say that's accurate. TPBM likes spearmint gum.
I don't like the taste of mint and I think gum has a weird texture.TPBM likes to line up M&Ms by color and then eat them in order of number in each line.
I can't say I've ever done that before. If I did, I'd probably eat the brown M&M's first regardless of how they ranked.TPBM is looking forward to the new Lego movie coming out next month.
Looks interesting and pretty funny, so I'll probably hop along and see it. So... yes. :)
TPBM can't wait to see the 'The Book Thief' movie.
TPBM can't wait to see the 'The Book Thief' movie.
I'd see the movie based on the title alone. I love books, so it stands to reason. :)TPBM is going to watch Cheaters tonight.
I don't know what that is.TPBM stays up way later than they should.
I do, but only because I'm too bored to go to bed.TPBM owns at least one piece of Super Mario Brothers paraphenelia.
No.TPBM often spends time searching for things that are already in their hands.
I've done that before. It's not my proudest moment. TPBM is a Simpsons fan.
Not a fan per se, but I do watch episodes upon occasion.TPBM suffers from extreme procrastination.
No, I just suffer from extreme too much to do.TPBM thinks cows are cute in their own way.
I want to pet the cows! AWW!! ^_^TPBM thinks tarantulas are creepy.
Yeah, lets just round up and say all bugs are creepy.TPBM has had a bug as a pet.
Not a long term but pet, but we used to keep caterpillars until they turned into butterflies.TPBM's entire rest of the house is asleep.
My niece likes to wake up at weird hours of the night for no reason, so that's not entirely true for me.TPBM is a messy eater.
Only in public for some reason (though I try to be neat). At home, I'm extremely neat while eating.TPBM is sad to have to return to school.
I am feeling a little blue right now, but not about school.TPBM can't be cheered up by others, only by themselves.
I can be cheered up by myself or by friends. Sometimes even strangers. It all just depends on who feels like cheering me up.TPBM is feeling lonely.
I feel lonely a lot these days. The only thing stopping me from feeling otherwise is my shyness. I want to reach out to my friends, but I don't want repercussions (imagined ones, mostly).TPBM listens to "Beautiful Goodbye" by Amanda Marshall when they're feeling down.
I never have before, but I just looked it up and I thought it was pretty.TPBM feels forgotten in crowds.
Not as a rule, but it is time to relisten to that song.(I saw her live on top of Blackout Mtn one year.Listening to Talking Heads always cheers up TPBM when s/he is feeling blue.
What Talking Heads song would you recommend to me, Guy? And yes, I do feel forgotten in crowds. I'm more invisible than Wonder Woman's jet.TPBM also listens to "Battle Born" by Five Finger Death Punch whenever they're feeling moody (no pun intended).
No, not really. When I feel moody and I'm trying to get a handle on my emotions, I crawl into my closet and sit in a fetal position until I calm down.TPBM sometimes has mental conversations in their head in which they silently move their mouths and make facial expressions.
I don't make facial expressions, but I do talk to myself at night as I've established in the "Snow" story thread. I do love a good conversation even if there's nobody around to have it with me.TPBM prefers to read while lying in bed (as opposed to sitting in a chair or standing up).
Especially with a soft blanket and a warm mug of hot chocolate.TPBM thinks that cupcakes with those little plastic rings on top of them are cute.
Any kind of cupcake is fine by me. Yum! ^_^TPBM likes to drown their salads in their favorite dressing as opposed to just dab a little on.
No, veggies taste good so I go light on the dressing.TPBM has daydreamed about being their favorite animal.
Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a kitty curled up on my bed with a stuffed animal. Aww! ^_^TPBM admits to modifying words in order to make them rhyme with pre-existing words. For example, "Ayatollah of Rock n' Rolla".
I do that all the time.TPBM has stayed up later than they should have.
I stay up until 1:35 in the morning every Saturday night because that's when my favorite sketch comedy show (The 206) is over.TPBM likes to mix ethnic names to make weird combinations (i.e. Kamal Rodriguez or Nigel De La Paz).
Not so much.TPBM is trying to write a novel right now.
I'm not really writing one right now, but I'm editing the hell out of it. I'm combing a two-part story called Brawl-Mart for paragraph spacing, unnecessary words, and awkward descriptions. When I'm finished editing Brawl-Mart, then I'll concern myself with writing a novel.TPBM enjoys talking about his or her dreams (sleep-wise, not fantasy-wise).
I don't have many dreams that I remember when I wake up, so I don't talk about those dreams very often. If I did, they'd be very boring.TPBM is currently sick.
