TPBM
Even though I'm a milennial and technology is in my blood (eye roll), smart phones confuse me and therefore I wouldn't know about their internet functions. I have a generic cell phone that I use for bumming rides and that's about it.TPBM figuratively lives in the present and not in the past or future.
I'm trying to get there. But I'm an overplanner who spends too much time thinking about the future and running through possible disaster scenarios.TPBM always defaults to the worst-case scenario when stressed.
I've tried to be a positive thinker over the past few weeks, so hopefully, I won't do that anymore.TPBM isn’t easily disgusted by foods covered in liquid cheese and bacon bits.
No, I like both equally.TPBM wishes teen-angst vampires would die out so real vampires can come back and be awesome in the book world again.
Lord Gerard and Lord Mertuk could kick the crap out of Edward Cullen and Jacob Black any day of the week. You're welcome, Marie. :)TPBM spells dialogue correctly even when it’s being spoken in a strange accent.
Nope! - I hardly ever spell anything correctly and I probably do have a strange accent!!TPBM
Is bored with vampires and werewolves and wants to be wowed by a new mythical creature.
As long as that mythical creature doesn't come from Lovecraft's archives, then yes, that would be fine. TPBM believes that creative fuel can literally come from anywhere.
Absolutely, I've had some weird inspirations before.TPBM keeps a private journal for their thoughts.
Not any more.TPBM is eating Jamaica's' national dish for dinner
I don't even know what Jamaica's national dish is.TPBM has had a bad experience of someone reading their journal without permission.
As long as I'm the one eating it, then yes, that'd be nice.TPBM believes students shouldn’t be penalized for not speaking up in class.
People have different ways of learning so I don't see why they should be punished.TPBM is tired.
I'm pretty wide awake, but that may change as I try to get creative projects done today.TPBM doesn’t feel like they have to justify watching violent movies or TV shows to anybody.
Amen!TPBM likes Meghan Trainer and isn't afraid to admit it!
Never heard of her.TPBM has writers block.
With a seemingly endless supply of synopses saved on my computer, writer's block is the least of my worries.TPBM doesn’t like to wear chap stick because it interferes with the flavor of their food.
I don't wear chap sticks.TPBM has a migraine headache.
I like them both equally well. Comparing pizza to fried rice or spaghetti to chow mein is like comparing...well, to use another food analogy, apples and oranges.TPBM is looking forward to the release of Three Days Grace’s “Human” album (especially after hearing the singles “I Am Machine” and “Painkiller”).
No, but only because I never heard of it. I now plan to look it up!TPBM hates "The Bachelor" as much as I do.
I've never seen The Bachelor, but judging from the previews, I'm not going to start.TPBM keeps his or her character count low when writing stories so that they’re easier to manage.
The last time I ate was a few hours ago and it was three cups of ramen noodles. They were delicious, to say the least. :)TPBM would rather plot a story out in advance instead of improvising.
Sunshine, action movies, beaches, bikinis: you won't find any of those things in winter. So yes, I believe summer is a superior season. Try saying that ten times fast.TPBM likes to go out in public to read because it’s a change of scenery.
Noooooooo sir.TPBM has a crick in their neck.
Even if I did, I'm not capable of popping it myself. That's what I have a chiropractor for.TPBM has a hard time concentrating with people having conversations around him or her.
Depends on the level of difficulty of the thing I am doing.TPBM
Ate too much sugar.
Not recently but I tend to do it sometimes.TPBM doesn't wear much jewelry.
I don't have much of a need for jewelry. It doesn't really do anything except drain bank accounts.TPBM has a loud sneeze.
No,I've got a stuffy nose.TPBM has run out of ideas.
Nope. I'm brimming with them ;)TPBM has just finished a big project and now feels free too come on Goodreads or start a book.
It'll be a while before my projects are finished. But since I can do them little by little instead of all at once, I get to enjoy those victories you were talking about, Angie. :)TPBM at one point in his or her career had a ridiculous penname they still try to live down to this day (I used to call myself Ryu Bashir (yikes!)).
No with pen names but my email, IM name, gaming IDs etc. are otakuqueen02 and naturechild02. Ridiculous? Maybe. Ashamed? Nope.TPBM wants Chinese for dinner tomorrow night.
When you say Chinese, you're talking about the food, right? Hehehehehe!TPBM has a hard time adjusting to changes in his or her life.
My life is constantly full of changes. That might just come from being a teenager and pretty much having to change my routine every semester because of school.TPBM sets their clocks ahead by a couple minutes because they're perpetually late.
weirdly I do like my watch to be a bit ahead, not because I am late often but because I hate being late - being late makes me feel like I'm slightly out of sync with the universe and it takes me ages to get back into step!TPBM likes order and pattern and continuity.
As someone with autism, order and peace mean a lot to me, which is odd because I really like going to heavy metal and hard rock concerts whenever I get the chance.TPBM believes college students should be allowed to get whatever degree they want regardless of the economy’s needs.
They have a right to,but it makes no sense for them to spend time and money to do a degree and when they're finished they can't get a job.TPBM drinks a-lot of water.
I do drink a lot of water, but it's mostly brewed into iced tea. Does that count?TPBM feels just as tired after sleeping a long time as they do waking up earlier.
Not really. I'm a morning person so I feel refreshed whenever I wake up so long as I have more than 7 hours of sleep.TPBM has issues counting to twenty.
I can't say that's ever happened to me before. I've always had good grades in math except for physics, so it's not really an issue.TPBM doesn’t care about the size of a book when selecting something to read.
Nope. I'm primarily concerned with the quality of the writing. In fact, one of my favorite authors regularly published 600-1000 page books. (I read two of them in one week last summer.)TPBM is craving something spicy.
Not writing a new one, but editing an old one. It's an urban fantasy novel called Occupy Wrestling and it's looking better every day.TPBM keeps a list of quotes from books, movies, and TV shows in a ledger on their computer.
Yes! I also keep quotes from people I know that are worthy.TPBM loves garlic.
I had a cold serving of baked potatoes and hamburger gravy. It's just as good cold as it is warm.TPBM is prone to mental exhaustion.
Not that i'm aware of.TPBM is listening to their family play musical instruments
Not my family, but I'm currently listening to Pantera playing musical instruments, and playing them well, I might add. The song's called "This Love" and it's one of my favorites.TPBM wants to participate in the Two-Sentence Horror Story thread, but doesn’t have any immediate ideas.
How about:Blood, lines the street,bones crunch under my feet
Bodies rot and stink-en in the heat,oh what joyous day!
(this may not be good cause I don't know if you're working with a topic plus I just built this on the spot)
TPBM was told by their English teacher that they have expression problems

TPBM thinks it would be an awesome feature if smartphones could turn off their internet access without disabling basic functions (sort of like an adaptation of airplane mode).
