TPBM
woo so excited! not really.TPBM is not a robot.
Considering I don't have any wires or computer chips sticking out of me, I'd say that's accurate.If given the opportunity, TPBM would read a story about a crime scene cleaner (as in someone who scrubs a murder clean of DNA evidence before the cops find out what happened).
I read anything that is well written and that my intuition asks me too read. I have a book to read called
My Life with Corpses
for example.TPBM enjoyed the movie Sunshine Cleaning, about two sisters and their father who clean up murder scenes.
I haven't seen that movie, but I will now that you've mentioned it.TPBM would be creeped out if he or she saw a line of hooded and robed figures in snake masks standing outside of his or her house.
I think that would creep anyone out.TPBM is the sarcastic one in their group.
Last time I checked, yes.TPBM enjoys listening to the Pop Evil song “Seattle Rain”.
I don't listen to it.TPBM misses the days when TV shows had catchy theme songs.
If you're talking about Seinfeld as one example, then yes, I'd say so.TPBM knows better than to ask a future employer during an interview if they require drug testing.
Nope. I have no idea if that is either illegal or just inconsiderate.TPBM enjoys playing friendly games of poker with friends and acquaintances.
Not usually. The last time I played poker was at high school. We swore we did it not to gamble but our homeroom teacher stopped it anyway.TPBM loves to go on vacation not just for the view (if beaches, etc.) but to get to speak to interesting people.
As a shy guy, finding people to talk to and be friends with has always been difficult for me. But hey, if somebody wants to come up to me and engage me in meaningful conversation (as opposed to idle chit-chat), I'm all for it.TPBM enjoys reading Brett Battles novels.
No, only because I haven't read them.TPBM enjoys reading best in a rocking chair.
Never tried but it sound like I would.TPBM is busy now-a-days.
I can't remember a time I wasn't busy, to be honest. TPBM wishes they could slow things down and just enjoy life once in a while.
Yes, I did get to do that just recently (I just went to a local bluegrass concert!)TPBM would love to be open to other forms of music if given the chance.
My musical tastes are already eclectic enough as it is. On one hand, I love to be lulled to sleep by New Age music. On the other, I love to be energized by heavy metal and hard rock. Everything in between is good every once and a while too.TPBM typed in the Google Images search field “cartoon characters on drugs” and became deeply disturbed at what they saw.
I already love and do that!TPBM will love Apparat and maybe some of Guy's other favourites in YouTube.
Clicked it. The first is like easy listening and wasn't bad. The video following it is great too. That lead singer of the Talking Heads can really bring out those vocals, wow!TPBM likes humor that could be described in a way as "Stupid-Funny" (CJ's terminology, haha).
Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. One person's stupid is not another person's funny. [Glad you enjoyed the music you tried.]TPBM managed to successfully avoid seeing any part of the Super Bowl game.
I don't care about football, so yes, that statement is true.TPBM uses random selection to make most of his or her decisions because he or she enjoy surprises.
I do use a random selection for some things, but not to generate a surprise.TPBM has won some kind of sports pool using a random selection process.
Nope.TPBM is the only one who probably remembers that dumb thing they did five years ago and yet still feels embarrassed thinking about it.
I have a bad memory but strangely,I remember every embarrassing thing I've ever done . Yeah, life sucks when you can't forget things you so want to. TPBM thinks their best friend is a genius
Yes, yes I do.TPBM has had pen pals but always ends up "losing" them. (they don't write back after a while).
Nope.TPBM's eyes water whenever they are near curry.
Sometimes, but only if I haven't changed my contacts recently. TPBM feels a sense of accomplishment when they can finish all the ink in a pen before it goes dry.
Not really. For me it's a regular occurrence.TPBM likes to sit in a park and observe people.
I do, but not as much as I enjoy reading in a park.TPBM likes ABBA.
Maybe I would If I knew what that was.TPBM likes to think of him'herself as normal?
Not so much TPBM has a pet named after a literary character?
Nope, I haven't thought of doing that, although I've known several people who did.TPBM has a sibling named after a literary character.
Nope, I haven't thought of doing that, although I've known several people who did.TPBM has a sibling named after a literary character.
Well, my parents first heard my brother's name in a book, but he's not actually named after the character...TPBM is always thought to be either five years older or younger than their actual age?
Yes. When I was young I was thought to be older than I was and now people are surprised at how old I really am.TPBM has had a tooth extracted.
It was years ago and it was a mauler that hadn't passed through the gums yet.TPBM likes to eat grilled cheese sandwiches.
Two slices of Velveeta cheese on homemade bread, with pickles.TPBM still refuses to step on cracks in the sidewalk.
When I was very young.TPBM writes a blog.
I write one called Garrison's Library and it currently features every piece of writing that I do whether it's short stories, poems, or reviews.TPBM recently put together a new bookshelf.
No, I don't actually have that many books to warrant a shelf. TPBM gets books from the library more often than they buy books.
Yes, but haven't done it much.TPBM enjoyed the transcription of Sin City from graphic novel to animated film.
I haven't read the graphic novel nor have I seen the film, so I wouldn't know what to say.TBPM would read a story about a samurai who used a chainsaw instead of a katana.
LOL! Only if it was well written.TPBM is puzzled by this apparent societal fascination with the inappropriate use of chainsaws.
They're vicious, they're violent, and they cut through anything, including human body parts. What's not to be fascinated about?TPBM is afraid to try new things outside of his or her comfort zone.
Nope. I like trying new things :) TPBM loves comic books more than people
There are plenty of things in this world I love more than people: animals, computers, books, the list is endless.TPBM is easily susceptible to hiccups.
