Guy (egajd) | 11249 comments Not my birthdays, actually. I have been good at guessing Christmas gifts, though.

TPBM is more excited at having friends with them for their birthday than the gifts s/he may get.


message 4452: by Carly (new)

Carly (writeorwrong) | 161 comments yes!

TPBM is embarrassed at how fast s/he can put away (eat) a bag of potato chips


message 4453: by J. T. (new)

J. T. | 540 comments yeah...just a bit

TPBM is trying to get fit or at least somewhat fitter


message 4454: by Guy (new)

Guy (egajd) | 11249 comments Well, I was. But I have managed to become fit in the last two years! I now do yoga every day and walk often.

TPBM finds yoga intimidating.


message 4455: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments Not so much intimidating as frustrating. When I try to do yoga with my friends, I find I can't do half of the things because I'm not as flexible as them.

TPBM loves to watch old movies.


message 4456: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Well,it all depends on the movie genre.

TPBM finds something very everyday(whistling/gum chewing/etc) highly annoying.


message 4459: by J. T. (new)

J. T. | 540 comments If I'm surrounded by a crowd of people it's very likely that several of them are going to get on my nerves in various ways

TPBM is definitely not a morning person


message 4460: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Definitely not especially on a Saturday morning

TPBM likes to cook


message 4461: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments Yes! So long as I'm able to slow down and enjoy it. If I have to cook a lot in a short time span, its likely I'll get annoyed.

TPBM has worked out sometime this week.


message 4462: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Yes I did, it was fun!

TPBM is tall (6ft 2" the last time I checked)


message 4463: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments I wish! I'm about 5'3".

TPBM recruits tall people to get things from high places rather than find a ladder.


message 4464: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Ha! I don't need to!

TPBM doesn't like standing beside short people


message 4465: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments I don't normally care what height someone is if they're standing next to me. If he speaks in tongues or has rancid body odor, then I might change my mind about standing next to that person.

TPBM has no problem leaving comments on their friends’ online pictures telling them how handsome/beautiful they are.


message 4466: by Guy (new)

Guy (egajd) | 11249 comments I have no problem at all because I don't do it.

TPBM is satisfied with how tall they are because so long as their feet reach the earth all is well.


message 4467: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments I can make do with my height enough to be content.

TPBM has always wanted to try his or her hand at archery.


message 4468: by Guy (new)

Guy (egajd) | 11249 comments As a matter of fact, yes. Especially so after reading Zen in the Art of Archery and One Arrow, One Life: Zen, Archery, Enlightenment.

TPBM prefers reading about being physically active than actually active.


message 4469: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments Not really. I'm a fairly avid runner.

TPBM has actually gone to get a haircut and asked the stylist to make their hair look like an actor's before.

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments No I haven't.

TPBM has mid-lenght,wild,puffy,Jamaican hair


message 4471: by J. T. (new)

J. T. | 540 comments no...I always get a number2

TPBM has had enough of summer already


message 4472: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments I sure did,however i'm looking forward to it this year because this July i'll be old enough to work :D Oh the joys of having your own money!

TPBM is hungry


message 4473: by Caitlan (new)

Caitlan (lionesserampant) | 2869 comments Yes, but I'm always hungry. XD

TPBM is watching one of their favorite television shows.


message 4474: by Guy (new)

Guy (egajd) | 11249 comments No, I am doing yoga instead. Well, thinking about doing yoga.

TPBM watches a lot of TV on their computer now.


message 4475: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments No I don't, I read a-lot on my PC though.

TPBM just came home


message 4476: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments If by just came home, you mean two hours ago, yes. But more accurately, I just showered.

TPBM hates it when authors/directors keep a series going until it runs to the ground, rather than allowing for closure at the end of the last installment and starting anew.


message 4477: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments There's a term I like to use for those instances: "life support", as in that's what the book series or show is on and vitals are not looking good. So yes, I agree with that sentiment.

When setting a goal, TPBM uses “I am” statements instead of “I will be”.


message 4478: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Yes,yes I do it makes a goal really seem like a goal (i don't know if i'm making any sense)

TPBM has brothers


message 4479: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments I have an older brother named James. He's two years older, in fact.

TPBM wants to take a nap every time they hear the Native American surname Goodblanket.


message 4480: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Now I want to take a nap too!

TPBM is sleepy


message 4481: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments Even though I woke up earlier than usual, I'm not really that tired. It's weird, because I'm tired when I wake up late and active when I wake up early.

TPBM wonders why Starbucks clerks always botch their customers’ names (I’ve been called Erickson and Jarrison by them before).


message 4482: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments It's a mystery to us all!

TPBM jut ate


message 4483: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments As a matter of fact, I just had a lovely turkey dinner with white meat, brown gravy, and green vegetables. White, brown, and green: the colors of a scrumptious dinner! :)

TPBM can’t make it through listening to “Slip Away” by David Arkenstone and Charlee Brooks without having their heart break.


message 4484: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments I just listened to it and its certainly beautiful.

TPBM sometimes lets calls go to voicemail if they don't recognize the caller number.


message 4485: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments Seeing as how my cell phone is only on when I need a ride somewhere, most of my calls do indeed go to voicemail regardless of who the calls are from.

TPBM once used the word “donut” or “donut-hole” as an affectionate nickname for someone, whether it was a human or an animal.


message 4486: by Garrison (last edited Jan 20, 2015 10:43PM) (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments There are only a few alcoholic drinks that I actually enjoy and they're of the fruit-flavored variety. So yes, I prefer that to inhaling toxic smoke.

If TPBM is a woman, she prefers to be called Ms. instead of Mrs. or Miss.


message 4487: by Angie (new)

Angie Pangan | 4795 comments Well, seeing as I'm only 17, that's pretty much all I get called.

TPBM has no qualms borrowing another person's clothes to attend a fancy event.


message 4488: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments I don't attend a lot of fancy events, so I have no need for a tux (which nobody in my family has anyways).

TPBM is hungry for glazed donuts.


message 4489: by Monise (new)

Monise Tua (monise_tua) omg AMEN! Always am !

TPBM likes the Hunger Games


message 4490: by Sola (new)

Sola (booknerdspells) Love the movies! Haven't gotten around to the books yet which is annoying. I hate seeing the films first.

TPBM spends a lot of time on goodreads.


message 4491: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments Good Reads is where all the magic happens, so yes, I do spend a lot of time here. The prompts for my short stories come from Good Reads. I've also made a lot of friends here.

TPBM doesn’t understand why being called “corn-fed” is a compliment. What’s so special about eating corn?


message 4492: by Monise (new)

Monise Tua (monise_tua) Yes. But it was the tiniest thing ever!

TPBM loves shower-singing.


message 4493: by Guy (new)

Guy (egajd) | 11249 comments I do, sort of. My 'singing' is not singing, not rap, and best not heard outside the shower.

TPBM finds their head filled with creative thoughts while showering.


message 4494: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments Yes i do (and that is why I like showering in the dark)

TPBM has the flu


message 4495: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments I had the flu a few weeks ago and I'm over it now. I had a schizophrenic attack at the same time I had the flu and I'm over that as well.

TPBM has at least one character in their stories named Corey, either as a male or female.


message 4496: by Monise (new)

Monise Tua (monise_tua) Nope. Never.

TPBM is in bed.


message 4497: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments Now that you've mentioned bed, I think I'll take a short nap before I read this week's "Time Lapse" stories. Later, taters!

TPBM is a night owl.


message 4498: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments I am but only on weekends because of school

TPBM sang all day


message 4499: by Garrison (new)

Garrison Kelly (cybador) | 10185 comments I tried to sing "A Warrior's Call" by Volbeat today, but I couldn't get Michael Poulsen's voice down perfectly. He's a huge Elvis fan, so he's got a deep register.

TPBM dislikes pineapples.


message 4500: by Lee (new)

Lee (lee-lette) | 1840 comments yes I do

TPBM has to get up extra early in the morning
