TPBM
Most definitely. Well, usually it is--now it's pretty clean. Under normal circumstances, however...TPBM feels sick.
Not at all! Although I am about to stretch out on the rug for a 15 minute power rest while listening to music.TPBM's bedroom has a desk next to a window that looks west.
My window does face west! (I think...I'm horrible with direction.) My desk-er, vanity-sits at the opposite side of the room from my window.TPBM has had a panic attack.
Yes, several times. Once, on a test, I was so panicked I forgot how to spell 'is'. Another time, the only time in my life, I froze so badly during a chem exam that I failed it - but when I reviewed it afterwards with the prof, did it perfectly without him saying anything. TPBM believes that growing old brings with it more freedom than it does responsibility.
I believe there is a threshold--once you get a certain age, "responsibility" becomes irrelevant. Unless you're evil; in that case, someone needs to keep tabs on you.TPBM likes snickerdoodles. I'm not even sure what those are.
Actually, I am eating the best homemade fresh plum pudding, with almonds, ever! With some green tea. Ahhhhh.TPBM recently gave up reading a novel because it was too boring.
Pretty much.TPBM gets stressed out easily.

Sigh, true. But I have good intentions.TPBM doesn't know who Butch Cassidy or the Sundance Kid are.
Unfortunately, I'm allergic to cats...and all other hairy animals. Guinea pigs and horses included.TPBM has a very unusual pet peeve.
Well, I have a very poor tolerance for intolerance. Does that count?TPBM has petted a reptile.
Yep! A class pet and a personal pet. Many crickets have my fingers touched...I was much braver five years ago than I am now.TPBM needs more socks.
Oddly enough, just the opposite. I went through my old shoes last weekend and tossed into the big shoe horn in the sky several pairs long since past their prime.TPBM enjoyed Alice in Wonderland more than The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe.
I haven't read Alice in Wonderland, but I did see the two movie adaptations (I disliked the most recent one, where Alice revisited her childhood fantasy/nightmare). I enjoyed both stories, just in different ways.TPBM has a mysterious papercut.
Yes, as a matter of fact. But settled for homemade humus instead. Delicious!TPBM nearly tripped and dropped something s/he was carrying.
HUMMUS! I love.Yes-I trip all the time, no matter what the terrain. If the ground's not full of unseen obstacles, I somehow always manage to trip over my own feet.
TPBM wants a massage.
Well, not quite. My wife is, and I certainly have made them.TPBM had ice cream for desert tonight.

No, but I had a small one Sunday that didn't go away until late in the pm.TPBM has a pair of striped socks in very bright colours.
YES YES YES!!! I love them! I have like, 20 pairs. Yes, I am eccentricTPBM has a friend that might be pregnant.
Nope — a yet to be tasted pleasure.Last night I went to Michael Ondaatje's book reading/signing for his recently released The Cat's Table — thanks TT!

Cookies. Always. Cake is too filling.Chocolate or White milk?
White--skim.TPBM has qualms about Christmas.
Definitely. I feel like I've wasted 2011.TPBM will make resolutions and promptly abandon them.
NO I WILL STICK TO MY GOALS!!! I WILL SURVIVE!!!!! /lies.TPBM likes using coding out of context.
True - especially when it comes in a GR unnoticed page change.TPBM will open 1 present the day before Christmas.
I will open all my presents the day before Christmas. This is how Christmas works in my house. In fact half of them are opened the day before that. It's complicated and involves having to carefully plan travel time.TPBM has no idea what the hell I'm talking about.
Correct.TPBM has already completed wrapping all the gifts that they will be giving away.
Yup. I've got to go pick up the drain cover to replace the one that's broken in our shower.Sorry, no more shopping to do. :-)

I'm sure of it.TPBM has a crapload of homework.
My wife, for sure. Really, I don't care as long as it doesn't go on for too long!TPBM snuck a freshly baked Christmas cookie while the baker wasn't looking.
