TPBM
Not anymore. Ahh, the sweet memories of school and too much work, poor time management and procrastination.TPBM enjoys working with their hands, fixing or making things.
I really do. It depends on the thing, I suppose, but there's something really satisfying about that kind of work :) TPBM enjoys the company and conversation of intellectuals, but dislikes intellectualism as a general concept.
Hmm. Purely intellectual dialogue, meaning reasoned argumentation without heart, no longer has a big appeal to me, so not really. TPBM prefers wisdom to intelligence.
Absolutely!TPBM prefers kindness over intelligence.
Um...not sure. I've never met someone intelligent who's unkind.TPBM is a lover of fantasy genre
Oh yes. Fantasy is my favorite :) TPBM enjoys drawing or painting.
Grace wrote: " TPBM is always disappointed of film depictions of dragons "YEAH -_- it is unbelievable how badly they're animated. I was so shocked to see the Eragon film. The book was completely about dragons and the film couldn't even manage to get them animated decently.
I love to draw! I haven't this past year or so much but yes it was one of my favorite hobbies.TPBM has read S. E. Hinton novels.
Just The Outsiders, and I need to read it again because all I can remember about it is that I really liked it :) TPBM hates love triangles.
Also love quadrangles, and more. But when it gets to love dodecagons it gets so silly, I'll love it. TPBM loves fountain pens.
Fountain pens are awesome!! I use them to ink my drawings :) TPBM has watched and enjoyed Victor Frankenstein.
I want to! Huge fan of McAvoy and Radcliffe. But I haven't watched it yet. :(@Grace, you draw and you write? That's awesome!
TPBM thinks Interstellar isn't as complicated as people make it out to be.
No, I don't think Interstellar is that complicated, but it's real beauty is in its scientific accuracies. The entire movie is so well researched!!TPBM likes to calculate forces and trajectories in actions scenes of movies.
@Deepak it's an awesome movie! Just saw it :)
I have been known to wonder at them, sometimes, when they seem completely unrealistic especially.TPBM is not watching the Oscars.
Nope. I'm just dinking around my computer. No Oscars here.TPBM wonders if Batman has a criminology degree.
I don't. TPBM has a large collection of well thumbed comic books.
I Only started reading comic books about a year ago, but I have started a collection, and the small amount I have are well thumbed ;)TPBM likes dark superhero stories?
I tend to be more of a fan of openly heroic superhero stories, but I did enjoy Watchmen (the movie). :) TPBM is enthralled by the idea of space travel.
I used to be, but now it has become fascination with the journey within.TPBM prefers shopping in stores than on-line.
If I'm looking for something specific, I like going online, but for more general shopping I really love real stores. There's no real room to be pleasantly surprised by anything when you're online. TPBM enjoys folding socks.
I do, especially Granny Smith apples. TPBM actually knows someone with the first name Booker.
I can't say I've ever met anyone with that name. TPBM goes through periodic seasons of mental and emotional exhaustion.
Yep :/ they're great for hermiting in your room and binge-watching good shows, so at least there's that, but otherwise... Not so fun. TPBM has read Asterix & Obelix comics :)
I read a few of them when I was taking French at school, but otherwise no.TPBM wants to get into comic books, but is hesitant.
Not so much hesitant as eternally confused about where to start and what's canon in which universe... I've enjoyed the few I've read, though :) TPBM does not have enough bookshelves.
I have a five tier shelf, a two tier shelf, and my TV stand which has two-tiers. They'll all be filled up with books in due time.TPBM thinks that if Sylvester Stallone did medieval fantasy movies, his main weapon of choice would always be a gigantic repeating crossbow.
Haven't thought about that.TPBM did Physics at some point in their schooling.
I read a chapter of a physics book once, got very confused, and retreated into chemistry :) TPBM is a fan of classic sci-fi.
Yes and I need more... TPBM enjoys reading outdoors.
Yes.TPBM is looking at downsizing their book collection.
If you mean maybe giving only a few away that others would enjoy then yes! But I might buy more. ;)TPBM is sometimes up way too late! (I know how you feel. ~Note from TPAY).
The latest I usually stay up these days is until one in the morning. Hell, I once got out of bed at two in the morning just to write a story called "Flipped Off". It was well-received.TPBM has a fascination with the dark fantasy genre.
Absolutely *_* TPBM love everything fantasy.
No, but I enjoy reading them.TPBM has not heard of candida toxicity.
I've heard of it but I've no idea what it is... TPBM has listened to Adventures in Odyssey at one point in their life :)
I've not. I've read the book by Ulysses and seen more then one movie adaptation of the Odyssey.[Candida toxicity is the stomach bacteria being out of balance because of too much sugar and starches in our diet. Symptoms are varied depending on the individual constitution. They can be mild from fatigue, irritation, mood swings and skin troubles to depression, arthritis, multiple sclerosis to cancer. It's with looking up.]
TPBM is scheduled for dental work today.
@Guy interesting! I'll have to look into that... I do know that lots of sugar and bread does make me pretty sick, so that makes sense :) Adventures in Odyssey is a radio show revolving around a town called odyssey, not really any connection to the epic. it's pretty fun, though :D
Sometimes math makes sense, but those times are extremely rare... TPBM enjoys painting on walls.
Yup.TPBM loves art but can't do it/ isn't good at it?
I love art, but I'd like to think my drawing and photography skills have gotten better over the past decade. I certainly get a lot of likes on Face Book for those pictures. TPBM is a multi-generation writer.
I'd like to think so.TPBM has been ice skating before.
Only once. And that was enough to make sure I never go again.TPBM has been snow skiing.
No, but I'd love to seeing as how it's the hometown of former WWE wrestler CM Punk and heavy metal band Disturbed.TPBM would read a story about a hydromancer (a wizard who controlled water).
I've been avoiding writing all day... A story about a water wizard could be really interesting. I'd definitely read about one if the plot looked fun :)
TPBM will always pick up a book that has thieves mentioned in the synopsis.
