TPBM
I don't like coffee, so no, that won't be true. My primary source of caffeine comes from diet sodas. Lord knows I need to stay awake during moments of sleep apnea-induced haziness.TPBM will never date anybody who is already married.
Definitely. I will not. Pardon the expression but that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. TPBM feels that true musicians aren't being appreciated anymore.
I can play the piano, but not as well as I'd like. Then again, I hardly practice anymore, so that might have something to do with it.TPBM would read a fantasy novel about an orcish warrior who used a scythe as his main weapon and dressed like the grim reaper.
No matter how good my books are, at some point I have to put them down and give my eyes and my mind a rest. Such is the nature of being easily tired.Without looking it up on Dictionary.com, TPBM knows what the word "Inamorata" means.
(eyes darting back and forth) Yes! I know what it is.... (whispering) by looking at en.wiktionary.org.... shhh!TPBM is in a goofy mood.
I'm always in a goofy mood. In fact, I posted two jokes to the Humor thread and then made a Photoshop picture of Ric Flair as a Mind Flayer from D&D. Hehe!TPBM plans on watching The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror this year.
No plans, but since I don't watch TV that is no slight against Homer et al.TPBM has read or read about The Upanishads.
I probably should be, but I'm not. I'm happy with being a self-published author despite only making $1.16.TPBM went to You Tube, looked up the new age song “Inamorata” by David Arkenstone and Charlee Brooks, and thought it was the most beautiful thing he or she had ever heard.
Not really, I think that for some it is the right thing to write, and others probably not.TPBM is finding themselves waffling over the silliest things these days.
I can't say I've ever done that yet, but boy, do those waffles sound delicious! Oh wait, that's not what waffling is, is it? Oh. Hehe!TPBM is a good sport about getting negative reviews (because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, good, bad, or indifferent).
That is hard to answer, as I've not had time to write any, recently. But the latest round has got me wanting to dive into again. TPBM enjoyed re-reading a friend's poetry blog.
I don't have many friends with a poetry blog, so I wouldn't know where to start.TPBM likes going to aquariums because he or she thinks sea otters are adorable.
The fish are absolutely lovely too. Aquariums seem so peaceful.TPBM feels their allergies worsening as fall comes.
I don't have many allergies. So I can't say. TPBM doesn't like seeing the unread email notification.
I can relate to that, Deepak, because it sometimes means an admin wants to tell me that I've overstepped my boundaries in terms of mature content. Those emails never feel good to read.TPBM thinks it’s redundant that Nabisco has a product called "Cookies & Cream Oreos".
I do, but I also find that what Nabisco calls cookies stretches what I have come to understand the concept 'cookie' means.TPBM ate something today with a pumpkin flavour or theme.
Not until you mentioned it, although my want for coffee stuff has begun to wain now that it has been 13 months since I've had a cup of anything coffee or coffee based.TPBM has recently started using matcha in their infusions and cooking.
I stay up until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning strictly out of boredom. And then I wake up 12 or 13 hours later to start my day. What I life I lead.TPBM doesn’t judge people by their age when handing out Halloween candy.
I'm always down for chocolate, especially if there's peanut butter mixed in with it.TPBM thinks it’s silly that there’s an organization called “The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms” since those are three things nobody should be using simultaneously.
Oh yeah. Chocolate is my coping mechanism sometimes in addition to writing and cooking. TPBM has funky tee-shirts and loves them
[At Garrison.] LOL! The department was formed as a means of allowing criminals to buy government officials.Nope. Well... no, not funky.
TPBM has hunted with a rifle.

[ :-) Yup. That hasn't happened in a while. How is everyone tonight? Well, hungry, craving chocolate, headachy, and me - a little tired and sad. Hello everyone. ]
Yes, I do. We haven't had much this year, in this temperate rainforest.TPBM is struggling to multi-task tonight, but is too distracted.
Yeah. A slight drizzle or a heavy downpour, rain is always awesome![Sorry about that. Although it was awesome that we posted at about the same time. XD for the tees.]
TPBM had some amazing muffins today.
Al wrote: "(Not only am I hungry, but I'm HANGRY as well. ;] )"[ :-) Yup. English is such an expressive and dance-able language. ]
@ Deepak. I did. I made apricot blueberry muffins with spelt flower and yoghurt. So so SO good!@ Al. Sometimes.
TPBM likes Grass cuts.
Al wrote: "Never mind. Not making blueberry muffins."[I suggest you add some re-hydrated dried apricots. The combination is excellent!]
I haven't heard of them before. I listened to a bit. I think I might like them. [Sorry about the interruption again. I was looking at the wrong page.]
TPBM likes to lip-sync to songs.
(G'Night everyone! Too tired! Being here was fun as always :D!)
[Good night, Deepak!]Not a lot, but a little. I'm not great at remembering lyrics.
TPBM had a conversation today with someone about a favourite old album. [By old, go way back to the 70s!]
Maybe not today, but on the 25th anniversary of Pantera releasing "Cowboys From Hell", I had a 40 year old friend say he was going to "hide his cassette tapes" because he felt so old. Hehe!TPBM can translate the Spanish phrase "Sangre Por Sangre".
Only hints and allegations of it because of its common latin roots with the 'romantic' languages and English.TPBM gave a hug today to someone who was was crying.
I love hugs no matter who they come from. I guess I'm just an affectionate kind of guy! And as far as Fritz Lieber goes, I can't say I've ever heard of him. Sorry!TPBM likes to eat at sushi bars.
I won't be eating sushi or veggie rolls tonight. For my midnight snack...I haven't figured it out yet.TPBM considers food and beverages to be his or her vice.
LOL! I keep a stash, and so don't need to say it. Lately I've discovered I like to have organic dark cooking chocolate with small pieces of candied Australian ginger.TPBM is using a pen on paper to write in their journal tonight.
Not always, but often and perhaps even usually.TPBM has several letters they would like to write in the next day or two.
Nope, but maybe soon that could happen, but I hope not.TPBM just put in an order for some more books. [Good night Al. Good luck with the headache and the chocolate cravings. Good night, Garrison.]
I just added books to my Amazon wishlist, bought a few off of it, and got some new graphic novels the other day. I need to lay off purchases for a while.TPBM has developed a vampire sleep schedule.
Lol! Nope, not yet. TPBM likes blueberries with their breakfast, whether in cereal, muffins, yoghurt or smoothies.
Nope. But I slightly undercooked the pumpkin bread I made on Sunday, but it was just cooked enough to be edible.TPBM had a great walk this beautiful fall morning.
I walked and it was morning. But it was 95 degrees and sunny so I don't think it counts as fall just yet. TPBM hates having to talk in an accent because they can't shake it off for hours.
