TPBM
No, I was not allowed to touch the phone until I was 16 and too old for prank calls. TPBM thinks the color purple is funny?
Hmm. I never thought of that before. If you mean the color purple meaning the hue itself I guess so.And thank you guys that you would like to see me do a vlog. I don't know if I would ever do one but I just might. . . though I'd be surprised anyone would find anything happening in my life as being deemed "interesting."
TPBM has heard the color orange can make people nauseous.
No, I haven't heard that one. I thought it makes people happy? lol

I am indifferent to pink, but love to be in the pink, unless that includes nakedness.TPBM has had a bird hit them in the chest while driving.
Nope, I must say that has never happened to me.TPBM has too many birthdays to deal with?

I prefer to docter up cake mixes.TPBM goes through a lot of a eggs in a week?
Not really. I eat too many waffles, though.TPBM is ashamed by people who are obsessed with something?
Not really. I've never been an object of OCD, as far as I know, so we keep our distance.TPBM lived with someone who was OCD and so has become OCD about not becoming an OCD.
Hmm. I don't know how to answer that one. I have had OCD before and I know someone in my family does that too probably even worse so than I. I am glad to say I easily broke away from being that way. I only occasionally get into being obsessive about little details but I never go too far.TPBM has seen the movie "As Good As It Gets" a fictional story mainly about a man with OCD.
Indeed I have. Several times, in fact, and well worth watching.TPBM still avoids stepping on the cracks in sidewalks.
Nope. I guess even as a kid I thought it was a silly superstition. But my mother's back is getting rather pained though... uh oh.TPBM thinks the broken mirror superstition was probably spread by a mirror company during the old days.
Lol! No :)
TPBM is excited for a weekend getaway to the mountains.

I do eat celery, but after the stringy bits have been cut.TPBM enjoys cutting vegetables into uniform cubes or fine minces.
Honestly, I don't really enjoy cutting vegetables.TPBM eats way too many waffles?
Only if one every eight years or so counts as too many.TPBM prefers cooking proteins over legumes.
Not really.TPBM why certain things are so popular. {*cough cough* Hunger Games... *cough cough*}
I do, although confess to being pleasantly surprised by the pertinent satire in The Hunger Games.TPBM is is puzzled that with the over abundance of food in the world, that more than twenty-five million children will die of starvation or its side effects this year.
Yes. I get into strong arguments about that.TPBM has a "Blah, it's work tomorrow" feeling?
No! I'm on a lovely stay-at-home vacation.TPBM is finding that their chosen career is now feeling like the wrong path.
No, I don't.

TPBM finds it difficult to speak in public.
Nope, but I've had a bit of practice at it. I can remember a time when it was an issue though.TPBM wishes a horrible death upon all mosquitoes.
Oh, yes. Did you know that the ecosystem could completely survive without them?TPBM loves the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
I noticed when I was in Hawaii there were no mosquitoes, and the ecosystem seemed to be getting along pretty well, above average eco actually. But no, not as an absolute truth, I did not know that.Craig is cool with me.
TPBM doesn't know why spiders always make webs directly in front of where they are walking.
I don't understand spiders and I don't want to.TPBM has arachnophobia?

TPBM has taken Belly's The Horrible Haiku test.
Yes I did! Very recently (I think it was yesterday) as a matter of fact!TPBM is soothed by the music coming from this day's Google doodle! (it is "Clair de lune" by Debussy).
No, I had to learn that song in French in elementary school.TPBM is looking forward to Halloween?
Every year my friend Jill and I write and plan our own murder mystery dinner party, so yes, yes I am looking foward to Halloween!TPBM hates a movie everyone else seems to love.
I have several.TPBM loves a movie everyone else hates?
Yes. Though there is only a small few of these that I know many people hated. I don't feel like mentioning any just because... :PTPBM likes the show (now off the air) Monk!
I like the actor. Monk, not so much.TPBM has fallen up the stairs
Yep definitely! And as expected I felt stupid. I felt "Only I would be able to fall UP the stairs..."Speaking of things to make one feel dumb...
TPBM has at least once accidentally thrown an ice cube into the trash.
Haha, yes.TPBM body has yet to learn there is a pipe in the throat for air and a very separate pipe for food and drink?
I have in fact learned this, but not well enough to always keep the two from becoming confused.TPBM has had Coca-Cola fly out their nose at least once in their life.
Yes and for the record it burns.TPBM is familiar with J-Rock?
Nothing comes to mind....is he a rapper?TPBM uses overlong sentences merely because they can?
Yeah sure as everyone knows on here I like to get into long sentences because I want to fill people in on as much as I know as possible since that is just how I am and I sometimes get on my own nerves that way. Hehe. (Wow that was surprisingly hard to do deliberately).And Adrian I am wondering. Could J-Rock be Japanese Rock? Because I have heard of J-Pop too.
TPBM loves it when a person on here (especially M) says something witty.
(There must be another M in the group.) Some of the things that get posted in the W.S.S. leave me in stitches.TPBM dreams of a luxurious yacht, the light of a late-summer sunset on its sails.
