TPBM
YesTPBM hates it when people use their phones at the table?
No. I find it amusing. TPBM knows and accepts that all communication technologies can be used constructively or destructively.
Yes! I'd accepted that fact a long while ago. TPBM gets annoyed when people skip meals?
Lol! Not at all. TPBM WOULD likes to watch kids skipping rope while eating healthy food.
I can't say I've ever seen it, but it would certainly be amusing. TPBM wonders how a person could have enough hands to simultaneously jump rope AND eat food
I imagine it would be kind of like double dutch on steroids, so to speak.TPBM enjoys watching team double dutch skipping competitions.
That was so cool O_O !TPBM is an amazing cook
I'm not as bad as my dad, but not as good as my sister. TPBM prefers crunchy Cheetos over puffy?
Neither. As if by accident my doing yoga has changed what I eat.TPBM loves listening to music in languages and styles that s/he is unfamiliar with.
I love French pop music from the 1960's. They have a whole selection on AccuRadio.TPBM can recite the rest of: " One bright day, in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight, one was blind and the other couldn't see, and they both chose the Devil for the referee......"
No. I am not, but the opening does catch my attention and brings a smile to my face. I'll go and look it up. [Addendum: I did, and found a version of it in Wikipedia that is the same but different:One bright morning in the middle of the night,TPBM loves the irreverent wisdom and humanity in Shakespeare character, Feste, from Twelfth Night.
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back-to-back they faced one another,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
....]
I'm not much of a fan of Shakespeare anyways. I tried to understand the dialogue and take it seriously, but I just can't. The last time I went to a Shakespeare play was in 2011 and that was Julius Caesar.TPBM doesn’t like debating because he or she has a limited number of talking points while the opponent can go on and on forever.
Very much so. I usually get dead tired when I have a cold and today is no different. TPBM wants cookies. Lots of them.
I really do.TPBM isn't a coffee person.
No, I kind of was. But now, I'm leaning towards tea. But honestly, it's cocoa for me. TPBM has to cook but doesn't want to.
Not my turn to cook tonight, so nope. TPBM would like to have some strawberry and cinnamon pancakes.
I just had a grilled cheese sandwich, butternut squash soup, and salad with ranch dressing. Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM has his or her creative work backed up on at least four flash drives.
Nope. They haven't backed up yet.TPBM sings to him/her self when no one else is around.
Sometimes. More and more often, although usually with silly lyrics or non-words.TPBM sometimes hums when writing.
Not this one, I've grown up with three brothers!TPBM got serious about reading more by their adolescent age.
Nope. I was serious before grade one. The thing I remember of the first day of school in my one room elementary school was the library. I sat down and began to read Pinocchio.TPBM doesn't remember learning to read.
Possibly though remembering writing out upper and lowercase letters doesn't really count. In my opinion it's kind of like imitating shapes on paper just because they were already demonstrated in front of me.
TPBM loves banana bread!
Nope. When thinking of their bestfriend, TPBM wonders how they never get bored of this one person
Not exactly. My best friend is loads of interesting (and in fact he and I as friends go back as far as elementary school)!TPBM has at any time in their life done extracurricular activities at school (band/orchestra included).
Yes, although I hadn't thought that until your 'TPBM'. TPBM did sports when they were young, despite being not very good at them.
No, I never had any interest in sports.TPBM likes rainy days?
Nope. A poem or at least a poem - like thing.TPBM likes reading more than writing.
of course *-*TPBM agrees with the quote: 'The greater the artist,the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.'
Yes! Absolutely. Furthermore, the greatest evils are done by those who KNOW that they have the truth.TPBM likes Taoist philosophy.
Oh yes. Earbuds mess up the bass line :) TTPBM: do you buy newspapers or get your news elsewhere?
Both,as I read news online too :)TPBM has had depression at some point in their life?
Hmmm, not that I've been officially diagnosed by a doctor, but I've had plenty of times that I've felt depressed for several days or weeks (not to the point I couldn't function though) -- sorry, that's probably more info than anyone wants to know... The person below me has a vacation planned in the near future.
Not really. I find seeing animals penned up a bit sad.TPBM finds goats to be a comical animal.
Sometimes.TPBM has heaten peanuts this week.
Nope. I'm on a no peanut diet as of 2 years ago.TPBM has eaten some form of nut today.
Nope. TPBM likes old black and white movies?
Depends on the movie. If it has William Powell or Myrna Loy in it, I'm in :) TTPBM: favorite music genre?
I have several that I would term favourite. How about a Canadian guitarist's version of Latin flamenco music: Jesse CookTPBM enjoys world music.
I do. Ravi Shankar, may he rest in peace, was one of my all time favorite sitar players. He still is.TPBM is a fan of the early 2000’s anime Cowboy Bebop.
I am completely ignorant of it, so not at this time.TPBM is listening to a radio station via the computer.

See you, Space Cowgirl! :)
As far as Guy's TPBM goes, no, not at the moment. I'm currently listening to my Windows Media Player, which is playing "Carnivore" by Starset.
TPBM is forgiving of celebrities who say stupid things in public as long as they own it and they don’t do it on a consistent basis.
