TPBM Showing 5,651-5,700 of 8,618

[Jenn]

It's interesting.

TPBM does stuff on a dare, knowing from the start it's probably a bad idea.

[Garrison]

I don't take dares no matter what the risk/reward factor is.

TPBM doesn’t consider celebrity happenings to be newsworthy.

[Angie]

I rarely ever even know any celebrity names.

TPBM thinks crushed cookies and frosting is a legitimate way to make a cake.

[Garrison]

Absolutely! I'd definitely eat something like that. :)

TPBM believes that growing old is about mind over matter (if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter).

[Angie]

Absolutely. I don't see why we should care so much over something we cannot control.

TPBM never forgets anything - they're just on the process of remembering ;)

[Garrison]

Absolutely. With the right trigger, any memory can be brought up from its remains underneath.

TPBM lives near a convenience store.

[Angie]

Ummm, there's a Safeway about half a mile away from my house. Does that count?

TPBM is starting their story for this week's contest.

[Garrison]

I already wrote it. It's a nice zombie story called "Lord of the Crack House" and so far it has received critical acclaim from our own Edward Davies. :)

TPBM is hungry for bacon and cheddar potato chips.

[Angie]

No, but I'm craving potato skins.

TPBM thinks fish tastes better with the head attached.

[Garrison]

I've never eaten fish like that, so I wouldn't know.

TPBM has lost weight by abstaining from fast food.

[Angie]

I haven't eaten at a fast food place in a while, so I don't know if I've lost any weight from it.

TPBM thinks baby name websites are wonderful resources when looking for meaningful character names.

[Garrison]

I like to go name harvesting on Wikipedia instead. I mix and match first and last names from actors' filmographies, MMA fighters' professional records, and sticking to first names I really like such as Marcus, Mario, and Mitch (three M's).

TPBM is shocked by the recent pedophilia accusations against Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.

[Jenn]

It surprised me and my family.

TPBM checks b-day and x-mas cards they get in the mail for money before even really looking at the card itself.

[Garrison]

Either money or a gift card, but I do make it a point to read what's on the card. Otherwise, that would be in bad taste.

TPBM can relate to the movie "The Way Way Back".

[Ruthie]

I haven't seen that movie, so I wouldn't know. I'll probably google it later.

TPBM is so much into technology, that he/she is totally affected by the "Google Effect".

[Angie]

I just looked up that phrase, and I'd have to agree. I also have a tendency to double-check even the simplest facts on Google just to make sure.

TPBM is going to try out a different genre than their usual for this week's story.

[Garrison]

I don't always write zombie stories, so that's a change. :)

Whenever TPBM completes a creative project, he or she takes a celebratory power nap.

[C. J., Cool yet firm like ice]

Hmm, sounds like a good idea.

TPBM likes to think of their favorite vacation spot during the summer!

[Garrison]

That vacation spot would either be the coolness of Canada or the warmth of Hawaii. I haven't decided yet.

TPBM knows that wealth is not about how much you make, but how much you save.

[Ruthie]

Actually, I think of wealth not in monetary value, but the things a person learns in his/her life. So, even if one doesn't have much money, but is still happy with his/her life experiences, he/she is wealthy enough.

TPBM likes to learn about other religions especially Islam.

[Garrison]

I'm not big on religion no matter what it is, so probably not.

TPBM prefers unsweetened iced tea over sugary iced tea.

[C. J., Cool yet firm like ice]

I love both though I DO like sweet tea a little less knowing it's not so good for my diet. Homemade iced tea is awesome too!

TPBM finds it is kind of fun to make homemade lemonade.

[Garrison]

My lemonade comes from packets of Crystal Light and they are gooooo-ood!! :)

TPBM can run up a flight of stairs without being winded afterwards.

[Angie]

Yes, I can. My dad has also started triathlon training and I'm thinking of joining him.

TPBM has competed in a triathlon before.

[Garrison]

Not a chance. My athletic prowess is limited to water walking and stair running.

TPBM would like to try kickboxing someday.

[Ruthie]

I would like to learn, but with my bone problems, I doubt I could. I love yoga. :)

TPBM has exercise as part of their daily health regime.

[Garrison]

Water-walking at the YMCA qualifies since it's walking against resistance, so yes, I do.

TPBM agrees with the mantra, "Think globally, act locally."

[Jenn]

Sure.

TPBM has woken up only to realize they fell asleep reading during the day.

[Angie]

I have on a few occasions.

TPBM finds they can't take naps in the afternoon on command.

[Connie]

Yes. But Benadryl is a game changer. I missed lunch!


TPBM just turned on the air conditioner for the first time this year!

[Angie]

Oh I wish! It's been in the 100s since May here in Phoenix!

TPBM is bored at work right now.

[Guy]

I am at work, but not really bored, despite the current drawing being mostly routine.

TPBM would like a job that incorporates both writing and drawing elements.

[Garrison]

That would be awesome! I'd actually be happy to go to work every day if that was the case!

TPBM is excited for the eventual release of Disturbed’s latest album "Immortalized".

[Nadia]

I can't say that I'm excited, because I really didn't know that it was to be released.


TPBM Gets a warm, fuzzy feeling when someone comments/likes something that they wrote.

[Angie]

Always :) This group is great for that.

TPBM is always grateful when they see an ambulance without flashing lights because it means no one needs to be rushed to the hospital.

[Garrison]

It makes me wonder why it's on the road in the first place, though.

TPBM thinks Zeon Kadar is a good name for a demonic character.

[Ruthie]

I guess so. It sort of reminds me of demonic characters from the CHARMED TV series.

TPBM's work schedule is not affected by national holidays (just like mine.. hahahaha!).

[Lee]

I'm a student not a worker...unfortunately.

TPBM has a headache.

[Garrison]

Not at the moment, no.

TPBM would read a fantasy book where a half-orc fighter was the main protagonist.

[Angie]

Yes, but only as long as the author didn't still try to make the half orc protagonist gorgeous.

TPBM hates it when everyone in a book looks like a model.

[Ruthie]

I don't mind if everyone in the book looks perfect (everything looks good in my imagination). I just hate it when characters developments are too black and white. I like to relate to the people in my book, and being either too good or too evil is not realistic.

When TPBM is writing a story, they get a little sidetracked thinking of each characters' background (even though it won't all go into the story).

[C. J., Cool yet firm like ice]

Yep. I do that a lot. In fact, I might be sidetracking myself with the current project now!

TPBM knows it's good to character sketch or come up with a side technique that will help them configure the character progression for a story.

[Garrison]

For the characters I've logged into Garrison's Library, yes, I do sketches of them before randomly selecting them for short stories and novels. It has worked to perfection so far.

TPBM would read a book about annoying debt collectors.

[C. J., Cool yet firm like ice]

I don't know, that sounds too much like a horror book to me, lol! Still I wish I could go to college even if student loan people would probably come after me.

TPBM would love to go to college.

[Garrison]

I've already been to college. Between the forced extroversion and lonely experience, I wouldn't want to go back.

TPBM has at least one character in his or her stories named Marcus.

[Angie]

I believe I had a character named Marcus in one of the stories I entered for this group, but I don't remember what story or what I made him.

TPBM is afraid of heights.

[Ruthie]

I'm not afraid of heights, but I am afraid of falling.

TPBM likes to defy the rules of school/work and life.

[Angie]

No. I'm too much of a perfectionist for that unfortunately.

TPBM likes putting m&ms in their ice cream

[Garrison]

I haven't tried that yet, but if I do, I'd want it to be peanut butter M&M's in peanut butter and chocolate ice cream. That's a lot of peanut butter!

TPBM thinks Seamus Dawkins is a good name for a dark paladin.

[Nadia]

I think that it doesn't have the right feel, considering the paladins were a part of Charlemagne's court originally. I'd lean more towards Gustave Mareem or something like that.


TPBM is a bit of a history enthusiast.
