TPBM
I'd like to think I am, but not overly so. Coding is a pain in the ass, but programs like Excel and PowerPoint come naturally for me. TPBM likes the band Seether.
I like some of their songs, but not all of them.When TPBM dances, it looks more like they're having a seizure.
Actually, it looks more like I'm starring in an X-rated movie, which is more information than you guys probably wanted to know about me. Hehe!TPBM wants to see the new Peabody & Sherman movie.
It actually looks really cute.Other people get annoyed with TPBM for over-analyzing movie plots.
The only time I've ever done that was when I suggested The Hobbit had racist themes (because of things like "orcs are digsuting" and "dwarves are animals"). I haven't really irritated anybody by saying that, so no. TPBM likes to write stories based on their favorite songs.
Each chapter in my second book starts with lyrics by a splendid local band. ^_^ they get a cameo and everything.TPBM enjoys Chuck Palahniuk.
I've never read any of his works, but I did enjoy the movie version of Fight Club. I especially like what they did to the clam chowder. Hehe!TPBM draws funny pictures whenever they're not writing or reading.
I'd like to think I would if I had any drawing ability.TPBM likes to color-code.
It sounds like a cool way of organizing things, but unfortunately, I haven't done it yet. TPBM sees nothing wrong with wearing an outfit that is all one color.
That isn't normal??? O_o My friends and I do that all the time.TPBM is currently experiencing writer's block.

Yes, damn it. I've been trapped in the same scene for over a month now, and it only just occurred to me the other night, "So, then leave it!"All the TPBM's woes could be cured by a large bowl of pho.
I'm actually craving a bowl of vanilla ice cream.TPBM has an idea of what I should write for my essay. (The topic is how medical research has benefited people.)
This is just me being biased, but I think anti-psychotic medication being used to treat schizophrenia might be a worthy topic. TPBM likes Hot Pockets.
Only if they are on hot pants worn by someone hot in a hot yurt eating a habanero in the Gobi desert.TPBM is about to decide to do a random act of kindness to pay forward someone else's act they experienced this week.
I experienced no such acts this week to pay forward. However, I'm usually the one doing that stuff without being compelled to.TPBM likes mustard potato salad more than the regular kind.
I don't like potato salad at all.TPBM likes reading outside in the shade.
True, especially under a tree. Austin's capital is a great place to read, FYI.
TPBM likes to cloud watch with Imagination. OR Believes in cloud angels, I should say. :)

There are very little clouds in Phoenix. So cloud watching giant very fun. TPBM likes to send creepy texts to their friends when they get new phone numbers.
I like to find other ways to creep out my friends and family, particularly by telling disgusting jokes and hanging scary music posters on my wall. TPBM has a sick sense of humor.
Just a bit. ;) This is probably as sick as I can post here, because we have some younger members.So a woman walks into a pet store a sees a parrot on sale for 50% off. The manager explains that it's because the parrot used to be in a brothel. She shrugs and buys the bird anyway.
But when her husband gets home, he does a double-take and looks at the parrot with horror. He doesn't answer when she asks what's wrong. However, the bird calls out, "Hi, Dave!"
TPBM has a detached earlobe.
No, but my grandmother does. She has flaired nostrils, too, but she is so beautiful!
TPBM likes to whistle when working.
TPBM likes to whistle when working.
I wish that I knew how to whistle. :( The closest I can get is sounding like a boiling tea kettle.TPBM has seen the musical, The Addams Family.
Nope... but my parents watched it on their first date, apparently. :)
TPBM accidentally calls somebody on a daily basis?

I'm not a phone person, so not really. TPBM thinks it's cool when people have colors for last names (Brown, Black, White, Green, etc.)
Yes, and I love it when the name is a bit ironic. Like a black person whose name is white or vice versa. And there's a boy at my school whose last name is green and he has the most beautiful emerald eyes. When TPBM first sees a person, their eyes start from the head and work their way down.
@GEGThere was a guy I used to like who I would text on my iPod. But when i would sometimes accidentally press the button for FaceTime instead and I'd have to hang up immediately. As you can imagine, it was very embarrassing.
((Ugh, how embarrassing, Angie! Hate it when that sort of thing happens. I once called my Grandma at around midnight when I accidentally sat on my phone... she was not pleased. :))
Usually, it depends whether or not they have something written on their T- shirt.
TPBM loves rain.

I prefer sunshine. That way, I can go for long walks outside and not shiver by the time I get home. TPBM enjoys studying psychology.
Absolutely. People are strange creatures.TPBM always orients their bedsheets the wrong way when changing them.
No. But..... I didn't know there was a right and wrong way! Maybe I've been doing the wrong for the last thirty-five years! OMG! (Faints from hyperventilating.)TPBM tends to fall prey to random thoughts.
Are you kidding me? It's like I'm playing Wheel of Fortune up there sometimes. TPBM has creepy posters on their wall.
Nope. All my posters haven't moved. Well, I only have one, but it's state of inanimation seems undisputed.TPBM wonders if Vanna White was really the only reason the Wheel of Fortune made money.
Not really.When TPBM reads a good book, they sometimes forget to eat.
Happens all the time. Maybe that's how I'll lose weight: by reading all the time.TPBM laughed during the scene in The Dark Knight where The Joker did his pencil trick.
But could not for the life of herself reproduce it.TPBM will have just finished reading a book that changed his/her life.
The only book I've read that changed my life was "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. It made me regret being shy when I was in my teens. Even today, I'm still cautious around people I should be opening up to. TPBM wants to see "The Way Way Back".
My company in this wonderful and eclectic group makes me feel as though I am from the way, way, way, WAY back.TPBM is at present asleep and dreaming of what I have just written in the newest "Poetry Stuffage" topic "self-denial," and has decided to deny themselves the pleasure of writing about it.
I was awake when that was posted, and am only just replying to it now because all the awesome emulators on vizzed.com are eating my soul. I haven't read anyone else's entries yet, and I'm on the second draft of mine.TPBM is expecting snow on Monday.
Bonus if they're really tired of saying that.
A mix, and I'm VERY tired of that.TPBM regularly roots for the villain in books/movies/etc.
Only if the villains have the necessary charisma to pull off being likable. Crazy K from Tales From the Hood and Alex De Large from A Clockwork Orange come to mind.TPBM doesn't care how much money his or her significant other makes as long as they're in love.
I'd like to think so. I can't really see myself living in luxury anyway. I've always liked to keep things comfy but simple. TPBM songs and dances as they brush their teeth.
If I did that, there would be toothpaste stains all over the bathroom mirror. Hehe!TPBM sometimes wonders how rock music started off happy and then became progressively darker throughout time.
I think that statement would apply to most genres if music. Maybe it had more to do with people than with the music itself?TPBM isn't a
I like John Lennon and George Harrison's solo work, but not the Beatles as a whole. "Imagine all the people..."TPBM played Guess Who when they were little.
No sure how to play that game so I cannot answer the question.
TPBM has heard of classic swiss radio?
TPBM has heard of classic swiss radio?
Can't say I have. TPBM doesn't understand why people on TV get bleeped whenever they say "goddamn".
I live in Canada, and the anti-Goddamn bleeping laws do not exist.TPBM doesn't understand why American's are prudish about sex and swearing.
