TPBM
LOL! I have no idea how to define 'good', here. Does it mean someone who is a good listener and allows the conversation to gently meander, or someone who is eloquent and verbose and steers the conversation with fascinating anecdotes and graceful erudition? In either case I am clearly bad at it.TPBM is reducing within his or her self the need to categorize experiences as either good or bad.
Nope. I was thinking of making chocolate chips, but have decided to write instead.TPBM has decided to use almond milk more often.
Lol! Yes, but only after someone suggested it. I think I would prefer a pet tarantula though. TPBM would really like to have a pet goat.
Nope. I'm smiling.TPBM find the out of place silly smiles of others more annoying than endearing.
Nope, all my books are with me.TPBM bought a book today at a friend's recommendation.
Nope! Ate some organic dark for desert tonight! :-)TPBM recently purchased a pair of shoes which instantly became their favourite because of how well they fit, feel and look.
Nope. Although I enjoy both cheap and not cheap teas of various sorts.TPBM likes to do yoga in bare feet.
Nope. Most of the ones I got for myself are still alive. The 10 year old African violet in my office is in brilliant full bloom tight now.TPBM feels like a stranger in a strange land most of the time.
Nope. Marsh mallow is an incomprehensibly horrid taste. Except with rice criss pies, for some reason.TPBM would like to make some chocolate coconut macaroons.
Lol! Not a Canadian spelling. Odd autocorrect and inattentive smartphone typer.TPBM feels that they are often being pressured to hurry even when there is no need to be in a rush.
Nope. I enjoy it, but it is not all good.TPBM made something with potatoes tonight.
Nope, can't say that I have. My step-dad does most of the cooking and tonight he made tacos. Delicious!TPBM is currently listening to soft and peaceful music.
Actually, I'm listening to Skillet right now. I suppose they have a few soft and peaceful songs, but not the one I am currently listening to.TPBM doesn't have to go to school/work until later this afternoon.
Nope. No coffee for me. Am thinking of tea, though.TPBM is listening to music with horns.
Maybe not horns, but Arabian flutes instead. The song is called "Soulfly X" and it's by, surprise, surprise, Soulfly.When creating an online dating profile, TPBM keeps his or her economic status a secret because he or she wants to be judged by character, not money.
I haven't done that because I haven't created a dating profile. Well, I haven't dared. TPBM enjoys riding motorcycles.
I've never ridden on one, so I guess I wouldn't know. TPBM wants to go bungee jumping.
Bungee jumping sounds like fun, but I'm afraid I might be too heavy for it.TPBM believes in the mantra "potential doesn’t buy groceries".
No, but only because that doesn't seem like a mantra to me. Other than that it is perfectly apt.TPBM is puzzled at what the exact meaning is of 'You can't have your cake and eat it too.'
I have no idea what it means, but it makes me hungry for some vanilla cake. Mmm-mmm-mmm!When writing the ending to a story, TPBM tries really hard to find the middle ground between surprising the readers and committing Deus Ex Machina.
I do, unless the Deus Ex Machina has been adequately foreshadowed.TPBM sees images of God hanging from wires onto a tiny and crowded stage evetytime s/he sees the prase 'Deus Ex Machina.'
That is what Deus Ex Machina was originally intended to be since the ancient Greeks did it when putting on plays.TPBM once got the rock band The Police confused with the actual police department.
I do not. TPBM is aware that Sting went to a Jungian psychologist at the time The Police were recording Synchronicity.
That would explain where his lyrical content for that album came from, especially with the song "Mother".TPBM thinks Honey is a cute name for a dog.
Aw,yes ^^ TPBM has never tried dipping fries in ice cream
I wish! Well, cookies first. TPBM is carving at least one pumpkin thus year.
The only thing i'm doing with a pumpkin -this or any other year- is cooking it.TPBM will be baking soon.
Nope. Not planned. But I have been craving chocolate chip cookies.TPBM enjoys having trick or treaters come to the door.
Yes, cuz the kids are so cute. TPBM plans on going yo a haunted house this week.
No! Well, maybe? No! Not sure. No!TPBM is nibbling on the candy they bought for the Halloween trick or treaters.
No because I'm on a dairy avoidance.TPBM wants ice cream really badly.
I'm dressed as an overweight man in sweatpants eating four slices of CostCo pizza. Definitely not a cat. Hehe!TPBM was at one point in a long distance relationship.
Where I live Halloween isn't celebrated, so no.TPBM wishes he/she could sing?
I've been told I have a good singing voice. The problem now is finding a rock band to sing in.TPBM wishes someone would make a drug or alcohol product that made the user act intelligently instead of foolishly.
Why? People would feed on it!!TPBM longs to sit back, relax and write.
I'm going to have the opportunity to write tomorrow when a new short story contest comes to the group. Of course, I did some writing today already with a Deviant Art journal about "Getting with the Times" and a review of a WWE match between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker, so I'm good for today.TPBM got to watch The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror 26 this year.
Nope. TPBM enjoys writing about personal experiences that had an impact on him/her.
I used to write auto-biographical essays all the time until they brought back memories I didn't necessarily want to have thrown in my face. Sometimes personal demons are best left buried in their graves.TPBM sometimes pronounces Paris "puh-REE".
I do, but only in extraordinary times.TPBM would like to take a trip to France.
Maybe on a cruise ship to France, but not by airplane. I can't sit on my ass for that long without feeling sore.TPBM knows that Pink Floyd is a group of people and not one singular person.
Yes I do. TPBM knows that Zelda is the Princess in the Legend of Zelda.
It is? I thought that was Zorba. ;-) TPBM thinks that the movie the Princess Bride is good but not great.
Never watched it.TPBM likes home cooked meals.
Who doesn't? (Provided that the cook knows how to cook...)TPBM has a member of the family who is so bad at cooking they could probably burn water.
Yes. I've yet to taste food as bad as the worst of my maternal grandmother's.TPBM knows their family tree back several generations.
Not at all. I barely know it 2 generations back. Around this time of year, TPBM always finds themselves wondering if pumpkins are fruits or vegetables.
