TPBM - The Person Below Me
Yes!TPBM thinks Skittles are too sweet.
Definitely. Ick.TPBM prefers peanut M&Ms to the plain ones.
Hhm, on some days yes, but chocolate is chocolate and it's all the same to me :)TPBM is planning on going to the library soon
Oh yeah. Six more of my holds are in. At least I'm taking five books back at the same time.TPBM has difficulty not cursing.
No. I don't cuss and I don't like hearing other people cuss either.The person is going to watch a favorite show of theirs tonight.
No, I’ll be watching that new show on the CW network called Nikita so I’m excited :)TPBM likes going to the movies
Not really. I usually wait for a movie to come on Starz. Side note: The original La Femme Nikita was better. I have looked at who is suppose to be Michael and Birkoff in this version of Nikita. Their computer guy's name is Birkhoff instead of Birkoff and he doesn't have anything on Matthew Ferguson, who played Birkoff on La Femme Nikita. I use to watch the show for Birkoff. I love nerds! Well, it depends on who they are.
The person below me watches cartoons and not because they have children.
On the Nikita fan page everyone says the original was really good but I’ve never seen it so I have nothing to compare it to.I don’t like watching cartoons but I really love animated movies. I’m a big fan of Disney classics and I love UP and How to Train a Dragon.
TPBM is a healthy eater.
Healthy eating is good. Now, what some people see as healthy can be different than what the next person see as healthy.The person below me is a fan of Auggie from Covert Affairs.
No idea who that is. TV isn't my thing.TPBM would rather chat with online friends than go to a big party.
Yep. The person below me can't wait to go home.
Nope. Already at homeTPBM is glad someone created Goodreads.
Lucky duck. And yes, I am. Eternally.TPBM wishes snark was a recognized art form.
EDIT: this is in no way a reflection on anyone here (don't want anyone to take my answers the wrong way), more a reflection of how snark would be extremely useful in the work place if it wasn't a fire-able offense (at least it is when I use it...)

Not to be snarky, but I don't see how what you're saying makes any sense.

I didn't know that. Who the heck would do something like that? There are some really crzay/ignorant people out there.
TPBM had a really bad week
Some uber-Christian pastor in Florida wanted everyone to burn a Koran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Stupidity, ignorance and hatred know no bounds.http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/09/flor...
My week hasn't been entirely pleasant but better than some.
TPBM deserves a fun evening and/or weekend.
I'm sorry Sashana. :( Mine wasn't that great so far either. Had a touch of the flu. I did when I was in 1st grade.
TPBM wishes people didn't fight over religion.
Lisarenee, I really do. Isn't the point of religion to love equally and be good to each other? Sans, I deserve a great weekend :)
TPBM loves baking
Under certain circumstances. I'm thinking this is going to be a gluten-free spice cupcake weekend. TPBM really hates bullets and numbering in Word.

IDK what baklava is. What is it?TPBM wants to visit another country.
Holy buckets, it's delish, that's what it is. http://www.kitchenproject.com/history... It's puff pastry filled with chopped nuts (usually pistachios) and honey. It gives me happy tingles.Yes, I want to go back to Scotland. ASAP.
TPBM can't help "dancing" in her (or his) chair when listening to music.
Ohhh, it does look tasty. I love pastries :). I'm more of a foot tapper and I sing out loud. I rarely dance because I'm so bad at it.TPBM hates doing house chores.
Especially folding clothes. I have no problem washing them, but then they just sit in the laundry basket on a chair and I dig through it each morning.TPBM would like to go get a facial and mani-pedi.
That would be nice.TPBM thinks they should be pampered everyday.
Not every day, because then I wouldn’t really appreciate it, but often though.TPBM just made some library requests.
No but I have a mile long list of requests and usually hear "did you get your holds?" when I'm at the library! :)TPBM has a cat (or cats).
