TPBM
I can't say I've ever done that before. My step-dad has in order to make stuffed bell peppers, but not me.TPBM knows an effective way to cure hiccups when water isn’t an option.
Yup.TPBM has exams to do within this month.
A course manual on order to complete a certification I'm working towards.TPBM enjoys the quiet of waiting in a car when they are unexpectedly early to a destination.
Nope. I'd get too anxious and then I'd get impatient then bored.TPBM is a morning person?
Not even close. I wake up in the afternoon and still feel exhausted. Not much progress was made in treating my sleep apnea. Then again, it hasn't even happened yet.TPBM wonders what it is about the name Joe that makes people want to use it as part of their nicknames (examples include Samoa Joe, Joe Hardcore, Banana Joe, Average Joe, GI Joe, etc.)
I never thought about that. I think I attributed it to being a common name like how they have John Doe. TPBM has gone zip lining.
Whoops. Sorry Lee-lette! My browser isn't loading GR very well for some reason. I'm a bit tall back home but average here in the US.
TPBM doesn't like Google Chrome.
If I eat too many I will have none or something small yet delicious the next day (my diet is not too strict; it's weird to say this way of eating is working but hope I stay on the wagon this time) ;)TPBM wishes if they had the money they'd travel to places in the world and take in the many cultures.
As long as my travels didn't include sitting uncomfortably still for hours on end, yes, I could live with that.TPBM once said the words "I’m not mad!" in an angry voice.
Knowing my friends, I probably would have done that.TPBM is afraid of insects.
I actually find insects fascinating. They're just wonderful. Granted, I wouldn't let them crawl over my face. TPBM has heard that some species of scorpions are monogamous.
My answer is a resounding yes!TPBM wonders if plants could understand us.
I have a lot to do and I'm feeling motivated to do quite a few of the items of my list. TPBM can get easily distracted even when they're motivated.
Absolutely. Fall is my favorite season.TPBM has never participated in NaNoWriMo but wants to give it a go this year.
I don't have any plans to do that. Coming up with a novel on the spot isn't my forte. My novels take advance planning. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. The six P's.If TPBM ever has to wake up early in the morning, he or she at least finds the black skies comforting.
I wake at 5 am almost every morning and find that black skies are a part of the scenery. TPBM enjoys looking at stars, and is always surprised at how many more s/he can see when s/he is away from city lights.
Absolutely. I keep wanting to go out into the desert with some close friends to go star gazing, but plans never seem to work out.TPBM doesn't understand the social media practice of posting philosophical quotes with completely unrelated photos (such as flowers, waterfalls, or pictures of themselves).
Lol! I find the posting of philosophical quotations to be often funny on their own, because the context of the quotation is not included and may not mean exactly what it seems to mean.TPBM likes collecting quotations that are meaningful to him/her, even if, or especially if, they are likely unknown or confusing to others.
It depends on who I'm socializing with.TPBM finds it hard to sleep during the daytime.
I wish I had too many Oreos, especially of the double-stuffed variety. But alas, there were none to be found around the house.TPBM is getting ready to self-publish a book.
Nope! But maybe a bit too much pumpkin pie.TPBM celebrated Thanksgiving today with turkey and cranberries.
Thanksgiving in the United States doesn't come until late November, so no, I haven't celebrated it yet.TPBM has seen a video store in his or her hometown that’s currently in business despite the fact that everyone uses Netflix and Hulu at home.
Nope. Not sure if they are all gone from Metro Vancouver, but the ones in my extended area have disappeared.TPBM enjoys making playlists.
I do, especially if those playlists are going to be burned to CD's for my loved ones. 'Tis the spirit of giving. :)TPBM knows the definition of being “ten years behind” in something and would like to tell me.
Nope.TPBM is doing NaNo WriMo and is going to join my new NaNo group so they can be with like minded people (crazy ones).
I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. Simply not enough time. I still want to join though.TPBM might sleep at a sane time today.
I'm feeling a little fuzzy-headed today. I don't know why.TPBM has seen a payphone in his or her hometown despite the fact that everyone has smart phones now.
Not much is going on next week, so I don't really care.TPBM doesn’t understand the idea behind a record company releasing greatest hits albums when iTunes and other internet music outlets can provide that same feeling.
The only reason I can see is if they add bonus features/tracks onto it. But if they're just regrouping songs to be able to sell them twice, I don't see the value. TPBM agrees that seeing someone during the day and spending quality time with them are two different things.
I agree wholeheartedly. In my own life, it's the difference between eating supper in the same room as my mom and spending time to give her a shoulder massage and some conversation. I'm such a momma's boy. :)TPBM plays Dungeons & Dragons.
Never even heard of it.TPBM is a student of some kind?
I used to be a student of creative writing at Western Washington University, but I graduated back in 2009, so no, not anymore.TPBM takes pride in his or her own weirdness.
That's a long time!! I though you were going to say something like 'but I graduated earlier this year or last year even' not 7 years ago!!TPBM is suddenly sleepy when it starts getting dark out.
I'm not even close to being sleepy yet. I still have an episode of NCIS and an episode of NCIS: New Orleans to watch tonight. I'll be damned if I miss them. And yes, Lee-Lette, 2009 feels so far away compared to today. :)TPBM has eaten snake sausage before and thought it tasted like normal pork sausage.
Nooooope.TPBM just got their copy of The Amazing Book is Not on Fire and is super excited to read it.
No, I haven't. But with a title as interesting as that, it might not be long until I do. Hehe!TPBM knows something about book marketing and has valuable advice for me.
The weather here in Washington state is moderately cool, so I don't have to worry about being sweaty and sticky all the time.TPBM keeps a collection of plastic bags around the house either for disposing of cat litter or lining a garbage bucket.
Nope. I despise cats so I don't have one.TPBM is a neat freak.
I have.TPBM is laughing because Alex lives in the wrong state for snow.
I do! Even being north of the 49th I find I am warm.TPBM gets attached to certain clothing items for no obvious reason.
Not any more. Yoga and the DeCamillis stretch have helped me get to a single thin pillow.TPBM uses a blanket to sleep under even when it is warm.
Well, I switch blankets; a light one in the summer, a comforter in the winter.TPBM has a raging head ache even though they already took medicine for it. XP
Nope. No headache no medication.TPBM will do some yoga tonight before going to bed.
