TPBM
No,at-least not at the moment.TPBM just reached home.
Nope, I did that 12 hours ago, after a walk to get green tea, in a very light spring rain on a cool morning.TPBM enjoys walking to the store, even when it is lightly raining.
Yes, I walk almost everywhere.TPBM is procrastinating on doing those dishes in the kitchen.
I am. I've chosen to not empty the dishwasher until I get home after work.TPBM woke before the alarm rhis morning.
No, I hit snooze this morning.TPBM Loves playing card games.
Yes. I generally enjoy games of all sorts.TPBM has zero energy.
No, I'm usually wired on caffeine.TPBM has had coffee-flavored candy/ice cream.
Yes, yummy.TPBM loves how green everything is this time of year.
It's a nice time for it yes. More green means more fresh air!TPBM loves to head to the library during this time of year.
Yes. But then that is true of mean every time of the year. [Hello CJ! How have you been. I haven't seen you around in a while.]TPBM comes home from the library with a dozen or more books.
Always. I have hit the limit on how many books they let one take on various occasions.TPBM loves when rain spontaneously pours down in the middle of there walk. (I start singing songs normally.)
I live in a temperate rain forest, and so 'love' is not the adjective I'd use. Acceptance, with a light heart, perhaps.TPBM has decided that s/he would like to take singing lessons to increase the joy of taking a shower.
I think my neighbors are satisfied with my bathroom voice.TPBM just went to the supermarket.
Nope. I am pretending to work.TPBM is looking forward to being a fully indoctrinated labourer.
No i'm not, i'll leave that to youTPBM is hungry.
I'm always hungry. I'm a bottomless pit.TPBM misses the X-Men cartoon show from the 90s.
I do not. (Sorry.) on the other hand I do miss Ally McBeal.TPBM prefers reading comic books to watching their cartoon versions.
Yes that's pretty true. Hi Guy! :)
I know I have been on and off here a lot but I hope to get back to writing and stuff soon!
Yes, but I wish there were comic book libraries so I could get my hands on comic books more easily.TPBM has ideas of how to obnoxiously wrap a passive-aggressive present.
Lol! Well, I have a good imagination and so I have, but I had not imagined sending passive-aggressive presents. (Odd, but I was wrapping presents yesterday, but without any hints of passive-aggression, I hope.)TPBM likes sending people gifts through the mail.
Not really, I'd rather just give them in person.TPBM will wrap a present to a friend in a way that's nearly impossible to open, just to annoy them.
I have been known to do that sometimes. Or present in two or more boxes so they have to keep opening more and more.TPBM had just recently started buying things off Amazon.
Nope. Though I'm surprised I haven't yet.TPBM feels they are at the least not bad at being thoughtful when choosing a friend's gift. (By that I mean the "Right" gift!).
I'm awful at buying presents, I would rather just hang out with someone.TPBM isn't ready for their birthday to come yet.
That's true. It is 10 months away, and so I am procrastinating on my state or preparedness.TPBM has had enough birthdays to find prep time minimal and the shock bearable.
Even though I'm turning 30 this year, the shock is definitely bearable. It feels no different from any other year. Thirty is just a number.TPBM has an air purifier in his or her bedroom.
Nope. I've never had need of one.TPBM likes to eat candy and watch Netflix when they're feeling lazy.
Instead of that, I eat Little Caesar's pizza and surf the internet. Does that count?TPBM uses almonds and milk as sleep aids.
No. But I drink almond milk. (as a substitute, no sleep)TPBM makes lists for just about everything.
When I have time.TPBM goes to bed late.
I go to bed at either 12:30 or 1:00 in the morning, so yes, I believe that qualifies.TPBM knows how to pronounce the band name Live (as in either “a live performance” or “live your life”).
I've never heard of that band, so I'll have to say no.TPBM loves buildings with lots of windows.
They're especially lovely at nighttime when they light up the dark skies. That would make for a beautiful piece of photography.TPBM is a nonconformist.
I would like to think so, but I feel that everyone would like to view themselves as such. I'm not sure if an objective opinion would agree with my self evaluation.TPBM wonders what the point of personal mottoes are when most people choose similar mottoes anyway (i.e. carpe diem).
As someone who doesn't live by personal mottoes, I'd have to agree with that.TPBM believes that major changes in his or her life can be good.
Of course. We should never stop trying to improve.TPBM hates it when they start a "trilogy", read the third book, and find out there are going to be a dozen more books in the series.
I haven't gotten that far in a book series for that to happen, so I can't be sure of the feeling.TPBM enjoys sleeping in a cold room regardless of what season it is.
Yes, I do.TPBM enjoys teaching in informal classroom settings.
Yes, I also like learning in less structured environments.TPBM finds it really hard not to pick at their scabs.
It's especially hard when those same scabs itch like crazy. A few days after Nacho bit me back in March, I kept scratching at the wounds until they reopened.TPBM can tell if someone is lying to him or her.
I wish. Unfortunately, I'm as oblivious to lying as I am to social cues. TPBM hates it when they charge something only to find out hours later that it was never plugged in all the way.
I can't say that's ever happened to me before, but it would definitely piss me off if it did. Sounds frustrating.If TPBM is a member of Deviant Art, he or she can explain to me the purpose of llama badges (I’ve been a member for a decade now and I still don’t know).
I am not a member of Devianart, but those llama badges sound interesting. TPBM finds it mind blowing that the letter 'a' is not included in any number until you reach 1,000.
That is mind-blowing indeed, Angie. It's those little things we don't think about until someone figures it out. TPBM is happy for Green Day now that they’ve been inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
I'm not a huge Green Day fan, but I do like a few of their songs, so I can be happy for them.TPBM is so busy all the time that they don't know what to do with themselves when they get some free time.
Most of my busywork is self-imposed, so my free time is used just for that. If I was going to school or work, then it would be a different story.TPBM doesn’t understand why the word “vanilla” is used to describe something boring when it’s a yummy flavor of ice cream.
I M! And I wonder if it came about with the abominable invention of artificial vanilla flavour eng used in most ice cream that was eaten everywhere.TPBM has begun to cook with the seeds from real dried orchid pods.
I can't say I've ever cooked with those, Guy, or even thought of that. TPBM always gets insect bites in the most inconvenient places.
The last time I got an insect bite was in the late 90's on a cruise ship. I got stung by a bee on my middle finger. That hurt badly.TPBM thinks it’s creepy whenever monsters or psychopaths recite nursery rhymes.
