TPBM
my entire house is antiquated. Got a couple of outdated technologies gathering dust, but not ready to be sold yet!TPBM listens to music from all over the world, can even appreciate Korean an Japanese pop!
Yes. (Here is a play list I created for a friend's birthday: 4lMY23: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=... )
Oops! TPBM likes fresh fruit with yoghurt for breakfast.
I've never had fruit or yogurt for breakfast.TPBM has gotten a song stuck in their head that was in a language they didn't even know.
NoThe TPBM has had ice cream for breakfast.
LOL! Yes, I have, but only once or twice.TPBM will likely have this French stuck in their head for the rest of the day: Quand Est? by Stromae.
My head can be a chaotic place sometimes, but not for French-language songs. You're talking to a guy who used to listen to Mexican rap and still listens to German metal and Hindi world music.TPBM keeps a list of pretty much everything in his or her creative life.
No. Although I have a copy of Sei Shonagon's The Pillow Book , which is perhaps one of the most beautiful and literate book of lists ever written.TPBM enjoys the sounds of trains passing by in the evening.
It's a nice sound that I haven't heard in awhile 'cause the passenger trains here in Jamaica stopped running for some while now.TPBM wan't to go on a stay-cation for the rest of the summer break.
Summer is already finished here. We're already into the rainy season. I had to work overseas during the summer months. :(TPBM likes to listen to music while doing work/homework.
Yes, it's soothing and helps me not to stress too much about he work.TPBM just ate.
I did. A small snack since I had a very light supper tonight.TPBM enjoys the flavour combination of ginger and chocolate.
I'm not a big fan of ginger, but give me all the chocolate you've got! Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM is a night owl.
Yeah and working on it to get back on track. It's hard though to work at getting a decent time to go to bed when everyone else in the house stays up late as well!TPBM loves the air conditioner while someone else in the house likes to turn it off (or finds it too cold).
We don't have an air conditioner in our house. We have ceiling fans and in this summer weather, everybody loves them.TPBM constantly has people asking if he or she is okay.
Yup! Especially since I'm suffering from a cold and has been coughing a lot lately. My colleague even gave me a face mask and medicine. LOL.TPBM is medically required to wear glasses, but stubbornly refuses to do so. :)
The only way I would be required to do so is if I was driving. But since I haven't a license nor a car, I don't have to worry about that.TPBM freaks out and runs away whenever a bee or a wasp is buzzing near him or her.
I think our winged friends have a sort of grace about them. I often find myself watching them, until I get stung.TPBM Does things they know will hurt them for the purpose of a little fun.
Yep, I'm an idiot like that.TPBM suffers the consequences of being the one in the family who is best with technology.
Frequently. When I was in Japan, my mom would call at night just so I can teach her how to navigate her phone. :DTPBM is so busy at work/school and looking forward to some vacation time soon.
Nope.TPBM is sweating due to the heat even though it's raining
It's not raining here in Port Orchard, so I can't relate.TPBM would like to visit Sin City despite not being a gambler.
Nope.I don't think i'd be able to not yield to the temptation.TPBM prefers to be at home when it's raining than out and about.
I'd say that's accurate. A novel in my hand and a kitty on my lap would be perfect for that kind of weather. :)TPBM lives in a city other than New Orleans where the traditional song "House of the Rising Sun" would apply.
I don't think I've ever heard that song before so I would't know.TPBM hasn't done anything remotely fun since the summer holiday.
I was going to say La Grange, TX. Refer to the ZZ Top song."House of the Rising Sun" is a reference to brothels.
It is strange you say that, my brother and son have spent the whole summer flying remote controlled planes. But I don't.
TPBM is a really good cook, but not to eat, just enjoys the cooking.
The best thing I've ever made was a batch of oatmeal peanut butter chocolate cookies. Not only did I cook them, but I ate them too. Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM enjoys water-walking.
Never done it before.TPBM is watching the news.
I'm watching WWE Smackdown instead. The local news is too depressing these days.TPBM is getting ready to move to a new home.
No, but if taken metaphorically I am preparing for a change in my life. TPBM enjoys the playfulness of mind that metaphor evokes.
Metaphors are fun, especially the well-executed ones. :)TPBM has a fan or air conditioner blowing in his or her room even during cold weather.
Yes, because I love snuggling under thick covers during cold weathers. TPBM has a sleeping fetish that annoys other people (ie using a blanket even during the hottest weather).
Sigh. I snore. Is that a fetish? Hmmm. What a funny thought. But it certainly annoying.TPBM recently discovered their first grey hair!
I'm 30 years old and have the world's most convincing baby face. My first gray hair is too far into the future.TPBM has been to San Francisco before and would like to vacation there again.
I haven't been to San Francisco but it's one of the places I want to visit. (I've been to San Diego, if that counts as something.)TPBM has a song that they can listen to any number of times without it becoming boring or annoying.
For me, that song is the one I'm listening to right now: "Hey You" by Pink Floyd, a band I've been a fan of since I was a little kid.TPBM prefers to keep his or her past a secret rather than write a memoir about it.
I don't want to write a memoir, but I tend to incorporate my past into my stories and poems.TPBM has one book that they wouldn't mind reading repeatedly.
No. I have several and perhaps even many that I love to and do.TPBM has reread several books more than 5 times.
No, I woke up this morning and that in theory is a good thing and everything that follows is a bonus. TPBM likes to give and get hugs to help pick up people who are having bad days.
I'm a natural born hugger, so yes, I'd love to do that for someone having a bad day. :)TPBM is a Pink Floyd fan.
Maybe if I knew who that is.TPBM just got online.
Yes.TPBM is relaxing before or maybe after supper.
Before.TPBM made dinner tonight.
Dinner comes from CostCo this evening in the form of a roasted chicken and caesar salad. Needless to say, I didn't make it tonight.TPBM has reading to catch up on for this week’s story and poetry contests.
I do, but that won't likely get caught up.TPBM had a productive work day, howsoever that person defines work.
My idea of productive work today was helping my parents move furniture and catching up on my reading assignments for this group. It was a physically and mentally busy day for me.TPBM came close to crying recently, but it never actually happened.
I try to save my extreme emotions for when a situation truly merits them. So, this hasn't happened too recently. However like three weeks ago I had a panic attack of sorts, in which I cried.TPBM Is deeply into herbal remedies for everyday illnesses.
Yes, for the most part, which includes acupuncture and chiropractics. And I am about to register for an intense course on the ancient Indian ayurvedic practice of Marma Chikitsa, that seems related to acupuncture.TPBM has seen someone close to them be completely let down by so-called 'Western' medicine.
