TPBM
(I'm with you Garrison. Of course there is a reason, but WHY? *giggle*)No, I just assume that's how things go, and I know its not very hard to negotiate your way into what they're charging new people. (My mom does it at least every other year.)
TPBM doesn't have a lot of green in their wardrobe.
I love green and I have three green shirts and about six sort of turquoise/sea green shirts.TPBM has read at least one series in which they thought it was all over, only to be surprised when another installment was published months later.
It happened to me with "The Cleaner" by Brett Battles, the same book that turned me into a born-again bookworm in the first place.TPBM thinks an iPad is a feminine hygiene product (if you do, then according to Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a redneck).
Lol! I do not. But am likely a redneck regardless.The TPBM finds the iPad actually harder to write with than pen and paper.
I don't have one, I don't really like Apple stuff.TPBM has read a series with a really screwy reading order and gotten confused.
I kind of like it when the installments aren't in order chronologically, but it depends. Sometimes, it's nice to follow up with a prequel and then one of the future. But if it's a cliffhanger, I think authors should just go to the next thing that happens.TPBM wonders if the producers of X-Men are ever going to finish with the prequels and follow up on the cliffhanger they made at X-Men: The Last Stand.
I am here by certifying myself as a redneck by publicly declaring that I am not wondering that nornwas aware that that was something that could be wondered. TPBM is wrestling with whether or not s/he is addicted to TV and whether or not such an addiction is really a bad thing.
I don't think it could be considered addiction if I only watch TV less than two hours a week.
I'm only addicted to two things in this world: fast food and fast computers. These are two addictions that are worse on my mind and body than smoking crack (not that I've ever smoked crack before, though if I did, it would explain the weird stories I pump out every week).TPBM agrees with Einstein when he says the true definition of insanity is doing the same thing every day and expecting different results.
I wake up most days and eat and drink then sleep. By his definition we are all insane and I suspect that that is true. Does that mean I agree or disagree?TPBM is weighing the pros and cons of red wine versus white with supper tonight.
I'm not 21 yet, so that's not really an option.TPBM is horrified at the cost of college tuition.
I'm done with college and my loan payments are pretty low, so I can't really say I'm "horrified".TPBM has no desire to join the military.
I definitely don't want to go into combat, but I've considered becoming a medic. TPBM likes to put French fries in their burgers.
I haven't done that yet, but it sounds mmm-mmm-good! TPBM used to be or currently is creeped out by the movie poster for Pink Floyd the Wall (the screaming face with the bloody chin and shoulder).
No, that poster did not and has not creeped me out. But it did not inspire me to buy the album or see their show.TPBM is and was rarely on trend with the popular music of the day, and finds him or her self drawn to indie music.
Yes to the first, no to the second.When TPBM sees a startled squirrel suddenly freeze, they wonder if the squirrel had just thought to itself, "Dog!"
My brown and white Springer Spaniel, Molly, loves to chase squirrels and probably got that look a lot. Hehe!TPBM has a list on his or her computer of ideas for TPBM posts.
I keep it on a sticky note on my desktop, right beside my internet icon.TPBM wishes that they could speak Latin.
True. Like my father and Angelina Jolie.
TPBM has eaten washed-curd cheese.
TPBM has eaten washed-curd cheese.
No, but it sounds really gross.TPBM hates it when they stand up too fast and everything goes black for a second.
That only happens to me when I hold my breath to cure hiccups or when I laugh too hard.TPBM follows George Takei on Face Book.
I have no idea who he is.TPBM hates it when someone who takes four hours to respond to a text gets made at you for not texting back immediately.
I've never been much of a texter, but I suppose that would piss me off if it happened.TPBM has talked to a celebrity before (either in real life or on the internet).
I knew Bill Erwin once - Somwhere in Time's Arthur. We performed one act plays together.
TPBM likes Tex Mex.
TPBM likes Tex Mex.
I suppose it depends on what you would consider a celebrity. I only emailed someone who hosts a radio show with a million listeners. Does that count?TPBM thinks that if they met their favorite author, they would be conflicted over slapping them for all of the emotional grief they've caused, or hug them for their amazing writing.
I will choose a hug in all cases unless the person in question was stealing my thoughts, ideas, and paintings telepathically. Then I would slap.
TPBM, could write a poem right now about the islands of sun that grace the days of inspiration.
TPBM, could write a poem right now about the islands of sun that grace the days of inspiration.
Probably not. I've felt pretty sad and bummed out today.TPBM would make all of their own clothes if they could.
I took Home Economics when I was in middle school and hated the sewing projects. Sewing my own clothes would be torture for me. TPBM thinks it’s childish to call everybody we don’t agree with a Nazi.
I don't think it's any more mature than making a KKK reference. TPBM wonders what the statistical probability of every student in a class being sick on the same day.
On the day of a major test, very likely, provided it's fake sickness.TPBM once ordered a pizza with pesto sauce in lieu of tomato sauce.
No. But maybe I should try it. TPBM thinks mini M&MS taste better than the original
The only M&M's that are better than the original are of the peanut butter variety. Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM once described a mediocre book as being an “acquired taste“.
No, I don't sugar-coat it when something's bad.TPBM has injured their self with an x-acto knife.
An X-acto knife, hunting knife, a throwing knife, and a butter knife to be exact. But not all at the same time. TPBM likes it when everything is symmetrical.
Only for a moment. And then the tension of perfection irritates me.TPBM finds waiting in waiting rooms a excellent opportunity to catch up in the WSS.
I only get WSS on my iPod so I need wifi to get on. So waiting rooms aren't the most convenient places.TPBM sometimes mishears "cantaloupe" as "cannibal".
Nope. But sometimes I hear more than I want with four kids dancing, singing, talking, horseplaying...all at once!TPBM needs lots of motivation right about now.
Do I ever. Maybe I'll reach out to Tony Robbins someday. I've never heard him speak to a crowd before, but he's got some great hype behind him.TPBM thinks it’s ironic that Kanye West writes a song called “Gold-Digger” one minute and marries Kim Kardashian the next.
It is pretty ironic isn't it?TPBM sometimes wonders if they're bipolar.
If I did, it would be the third mental disorder I've got going on right now. The other two are schizophrenia and autism.TPBM thinks if Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Vickie Guerrero ever become a celebrity couple, they should call themselves Quickie.
That would be cute.TPBM thinks that "Lil Fecal" would pass as a legitimate name for a rapper.
Maybe if he was doing a remix of "I'm a Gangster" by Josh Tobin. Hehehe!TPBM hates being told how to eat.
I hate being told how to eat, what to eat, or how much to eat.TPBM has a tendency to fall asleep at around the same time, even when they don't want to.
Considering how much diet soda I drink at night, the time I fall asleep varies from late at night to early in the morning.TPBM once described a book as being "foo-foo".
I'm not quite sure what that even means.TPBM has an idea of a snack food to bring to a potluck.
Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs (since it's so close to Easter). Those things are like cardiovascular heaven to me. :)TPBM wonders if Pop Evil and Korn will form a super group together and call themselves Popcorn.
Haha that would be hilarious if they did.TPBM thinks everything tastes better home-made.
My step-dad Dale is an iron chef when it comes to making clam chowder. I just had two bowls of it tonight and it tasted like heaven. I rest my case.TPBM gets thirsty for soda whenever they hear a song described as “pop music”.
No, but the corniness of that thought made me laugh. TPBM is about to eat pop corn.
