TPBM
No thanks, Guy, I'm good. TPBM’s least favorite subject in school was physics.
Nope. Physics was fun.TPBM has taken ballroom dance lessons.
Define 'skills'. I mostly did not step on my partner's toes, but I sit behind a desk all day instead of dancing my life away.TPBM would like to take ballroom dancing because they would be surprised that they are not as clutzy as they have been falsely lead to believe.
Yes, but it is pretty much going nowhere very quickly.TPBM would like to have the courage to see his or her self exactly as s/he is.
I've never had ginger beer. TPBM is going to sleep soon.
[Yet another all-nighter *me sighs*]
Nope. Not even close. I'm just getting ready to leave work.TPBM will be making something from scratch for supper tonight.
[You've never had ginger beer!?! You need to go to the grocery store right now]No Guy,not tonight.
TPBM is going on midterm break soon?
[I love ginger beer!]Nope, no break. My next break is Christmas vacation. Just a few days.
TPBM has already begun Christmas gift buying.
I wish!!TPBM had a headache sometime during the week.
Nope. TPBM is struggling to finish a recommended book that is disappointing.
I just finished reading "The Girlfriend Wager" by our own Edward Davies. It didn't disappoint. I loved the hell out of it. Four stars!TPBM wants to vacation in Seattle.
Not really. Perhaps visit, it's a couple of hours from where I live.TPBM has a passport.
I do. I've used it to go to Mexico, several South American countries, and Canada.When writing short stories, TPBM sometimes chooses titles that don’t fit the plot.
I don't think I do. All my titles tangentially relate to the plot or the characters or something in the story.TPBM likes organizing stuff.
I'm a bit OCD so I would say yes. TPBM finds it frustrating when they meet a person that looks familiar, but can't remember how they met
That would be frustrating if I spent hours thinking about it. Perhaps that person could be a Face Book or Deviant Art contact someday.TPBM has been to a Pink Floyd laser show before.
Nope, never even considered going to one.TPBM struggles with the dilemma of managing time.
Depends on the time period, like if it's sports season and exam at the same time.TPBM is hot.
Nope. North of the 49th and in an air-conditioned office.TPBM enjoys fresh apples.
If I feel like eating an apple. But overall, i'm not an apple person.TPBM ate something delicious today.
I had a foot-long ham and turkey sandwich from Subway. Does that count? My taste buds think it does. :)TPBM has eaten alligator nuggets before and thought they tasted like normal chicken nuggets.
Chocolate cake with Oreo cookie ice cream! YUM!TPBM has at least one character in his or her stories with the last name Storm.
Yeah. I have two. Madeline and Viktor in my first novel. Still WIP though. TPBM had a pounding headache.
Thankfully, nope, not at the moment.TPBN is wearing spandex.
Nope. Loose cotton pjs and an old tank top.TPBM needs to cut their nails, but every time they cut their nails, they find that they need their nails for something.
Often times, not quite always. Trim them every day, and in time you won't need to use them anymore? Hmmm.TPBM finds if funny that TBAM mentioned nail cutting, as s/he cut his/her nails this morning.
I don't cut my nails. I peel them off. It's probably something I should stop doing due to the finger infections I've had, but old habits die hard.TPBM plans to spend the entire day sometime this week finishing a book they’re currently reading and is past the halfway mark in that same book.
Sadly. Not reading any booms for fun right now. My life is homework, homework, homework. TPBM thinks Nutella is great with fruit
Nutella is great with anything, Angie. Chocolate flavored peanut butter? Mmm-mmm-mmm! Hell, it's even good by itself on a spoon. :)TPBM’s hair grows so quickly that he or she needs to get it cut every two months.
It grow quickly, but I never cut it.TPBM likes to sing.
Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm any good.TPBM has lots of hobbies where their passion exceeds their skill.
Yes!!TPBM just bought a pair of jeans yesterday? (I know, this is just so random)
I prefer to wear sweat pants and athletic pants over jeans. Every time I try to itch my legs in jeans, I never get the full effect of the scratch. Plus, they're just plain uncomfortable.TPBM keeps a container full of multi-sided dice nearby in case he or she needs to make a randomized decision.
Nope, but I just might start doing that....TPBM is a early riser.
I was. Now with all my all-nighters, I can wake up only at 7. TPBM has a list of countries he/she wants to visit.
Not on paper.TPBM has frequent headaches?
Nope. But I know several people who do. TPBM likes to sing with friends at a party as loudly as possible.
I don't go to parties, but I do like to sing loudly at concerts. My throat was scratchy after singing along to Slipknot's songs this past August.TPBM will go to You Tube, search for a song called “The Room of Ancillary Dreams” by Harold Budd, and fall asleep after listening to it.
Nope. I might look up the song, but I don't fall asleep listening to music very often. TPBM walked through the autumn leaves this afternoon.
Sigh, no. But I haven't been practicing. I bought some learn Japanese language books from friends who speak it, though. Maybe if I put them under my pillow that would help.TPBM has stumbled into a new interest in life.
I can't say I've done that yet. If I do, you'll be the first to know, because I'll probably write a short story about it.TPBM would barbecue and eat the spider alien from those anti-smoking commercials if given the opportunity.
What? That's just...uh!! *shudders* TPBM would go to an underwater museum.
I've been to one while vacationing in California in May 2014. I got to watch sea otters play in the water! Sea otters! AWW!! ^_^TPBM thinks it’s silly that there’s an organization called “The Department of Water and Power” since when those two things are mixed together, the one doing the mixing gets electrocuted.
Not really. I know a good deal of energy here in the southwest comes from hydroelectric power made by the dams. TPBM loves the sight of the wind turbines in California
Me. Nope. Not at all. Or, well, not very often. Most of the time. I think. Perhaps. Maybe. ... Hmmm. Where was I? I forget. Well, I guess it wasn't all that important.TPBM is sipping rooibos before getting ready for bed, while reading something that challenges what they think might be true.
Well, I am excited for those who have taken the leap. TPBM is listening to classical music this morning.
No. I was singing it :pTPBM is going to have a party this week
[Nice.]Nope. TPBM is not very good at texting and talking to the phone at the same time.
