TPBM
I do. I love playing on words everywhere words can be found.TPBM enjoys doing crossword puzzles.
I always expect to enjoy them, but end up frustrated by the vague descriptions of the words. I love putting together new words in scrabble, though :) TPBM has recently finished, or nearly finished, a project that's been hanging over their head for awhile.
I'm halfway through editing all the chapters of Occupy Wrestling. I'm finished, but only by 50%.TPBM knows that hobbies and interests don’t always have to be about making money or getting famous.
Most certainly! As a goal, money is a bit... Blah. TPBM thinks that crows always look particularly disgusted by life in general.
Lol! I do not. I find that they seem to find it funny and a kind of carnival. TPBM has been attacked by a crow.
Fortunately, no, I haven't. I imagine getting pecked by their large beaks wouldn't feel very good. Hehe!TPBM remembers and grimaces at the Bowflex commercial where the guy says, “I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends.”
Never seen it, but that sounds pretty grimace-worthy. TPBM is a tea-drinker.
I am. Unsweetened iced tea, to be exact. It's the ultimate thirst quencher for a long hot day. :)TPBM enjoys the Lacey Sturm song “Impossible”.
Just listened to it, that is an awesome song! TPBM finds the Goth subculture extremely cool.
I used to, not really anymore.TPBM likes weather other people call depressing and thinks it's cozy instead.
I've learned to enjoy the rain over the years, but windstorms and thunder I can do without.TPBM enjoys the Failure Anthem song “Paralyzed”.
I did enjoy it, thank you Garrison.TPBM learned something new about him or herself today.
I actually did; my need to have control of everything can actually prevent things from working, instead of helping. it's something I've known in my head for some time, but today it finally made sense :)TPBM enjoys being a bit of a hermit every once in a while.
Being a hermit is extremely underrated. Some of my best thinking comes from my alone time. Although, it's nice to get out every once and a while to see a movie like Zootopia with my niece and brother. :)TPBM wants to see the new Warcraft movie that’s coming out this year.
That movie looks so cool!! I'm really excited to see it :D TPBM is excited for Captain America: Civil War :)
Yes. After the slight disappointment that was Batman v Superman, I am excited for Civil War. TPBM knows of Alan Moore.
I just Googled him, and no.TPBM's caffeine situation is sliding from habit into addiction.
I've purposely avoided caffeine to keep from developing a dependence on it TPBM is planning on moving somewhere new this year.
No, though I want to get my own apartment within the next couple of years :) TPBM has a burning desire to read everything a certain author has ever written.
Yes. It's Neil Gaiman for me now. TPBM wants to know more about psychology.
Yes and no; it's fascinating, but sometimes trying to find explanations for every machination of soul seems like an exercise in futility. TPBM has a book series or TV show they're hoping to get caught up on soon :)
The only thing I'm trying to get caught up on is watching the latest episode of WWE NXT. Technically, I could watch it anytime I want, but I have to be in that certain mood to do so.TPBM has a concert to look forward to this year.
Not really, no. No concerts on my schedule. Yet, at least. TPBM has a lot of chores/work to do.
They are now down, so no longer.TPBM likes the music of Aretha Franklin.
I can't say I've ever heard of her. TPBM has recently gotten over a bout of the stomach flu.
Thankfully, I've never had to. In fact, my stomach is very happy after a Pizza Hut dinner. :)TPBM likes to write reviews for books and movies and post them online.
Nope, I actually haven't been sick in a while :) TPBM draws on their skin when they're bored.
@ Garrison, yes I do, although my reading has been paltry lately, and some my reviews are scant.@ Grace, I do not. I stopped that practice about 45 years ago, or so.
TPBM has a tattoo.
I'm too intolerant of pain to have a tattoo. I scream like a madman whenever I accidentally bang my elbow, so having a tattoo won't be any better.TPBM feels like drinking a banana daiquiri.
Lol! Not in the least bit.TPBM disliked alcohol the first time s/he tried it.
I've never had alcohol (still only 18), but I dislike the smell of it. TPBM is terrible at dancing but enjoys it nonetheless.
I tend to look like a duck having a seizure when I dance, and the happy abandon is truly epic :) TPBM tends to be behind the times with their tech preferences.
Indeed I am. I just purchased a second-generation iPod on Amazon because I didn't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for a current-generation one.TPBM thinks that “cray-cray” sounds less like a slur against the mentally ill and more like the name of a cute and cuddly cartoon crayfish.
I think it sounds kind of like a new generation crayon, lol.TPBM is preparing for tomorrow after a pretty good day.
I always make it a point to mentally tell myself that tomorrow will be a productive day. When tomorrow comes, it usually is. I wrote a short story for this week's contest, so that makes me happy. :)TPBM remembers the movie Fargo only because of the scene where Steve Buscemi gets fed through a wood chipper.
I've never seen the movie, but that would definitely be memorable. Poor Steve! TPBM thinks that 'Hamlet' should be reproduced in a space opera setting.
It probably has been, somewhere.TPBM likes it when Hamlet is produced without cuts, even though it is very long.
I'm not a big fan of Shakespearean plays, but I am a huge fan of crossovers. That idea could very well work! :)TPBM enjoys creating creepy characters for stories.
I don't write much, but yes.TPBM is anxious for The Walking Dead to come back and resolve the cliffhanger.
Not at all. (I've managed to no see even one episode, and have missed most of the advertising and trailers.)TPBM enjoys Shameless.
I've never actually heard of it... And I love it when Hamlet is produced without any cuts! It just seems wrong when they take out lines and scenes from Shakespeare. those words are all there for a reason.
TPBM would like to travel through outer space.
Perhaps. It would depend on where to.TPBM reads more fiction than nonfiction.
That has changed over time. About 50-50 until recently. Now I'm reading philosophy and non-fiction mostly. TPBM enjoys writing philosophical poetry.
I do, and those poems end up sounding like rock song lyrics. I constantly fantasize about singing in a heavy metal band, which is why I write lyrics instead of traditional poetry.TPBM has been to a Roger Waters concert before.
Nope. I can't say I have. TPBM doesn't like spicy candy.
I feel like spice destroys the whole point of candy... TPBM tends to have a difficult time writing book reviews.
Annd now I have an ice cream craving. That sounds delicious! TPBM enjoys looking at cool fan art for their favorite books and shows :)
It sounds like it would be fun, but I haven't done it or even thought of doing it.TPBM enjoys doing the annual income tax calculations.
As someone whose primary source of income is social security, I don't pay taxes, so I wouldn't know.TPBM enjoys the song “Sarah Yellin’” by 3 Doors Down.
