TPBM (The Person Below Me)
No, but now that I think about I'm thirsty. Barnes and Noble.com has the hardcover of Eragon for 11 dollars so I figured that since a paperback is 10 it' a pretty awesome deal:D There is also something about the paper of the hardcovers that I love so much.
TPBM will tell me what they use as bookmarks?
That is a great deal!Right now I'm using a book mark I found when I was going through my boxes of books. It's a Lord of the Rings one from when the first movie was coming out in theaters, it's got the LotR title in script, and on one side it's got a picture of Aragorn and on the other side it's got a picture of Arwen. They gave 'em out in the school library back when I was in high school (graduated almost 10 years ago), so it's kind of an old book mark, holding up pretty well so far though. But usually I just use whatever's handy, old lottery tickets, envelopes, scratch paper, whatever. I'm not picky :)
TPBM likes to go to flea markets and look for cool stuff and bargains?
Well, not flea markets, but I like to go to thrift stores to look for books. (Victor-I have a cat bookmark. It looks like a baby Gizmo on top of a big stack of books. It looks so much like Gizzie girl, I had to buy it!)
TPBM is just now cooking dinner?
Nope. That sounds cute, Kathryn.
TPBM is stuck in their dark cousins house unable to read?:(
No, never been to any of my cousins' houses (been to my aunts' and uncles' but now most of my cousins are moving out on their own and I've never been to their 'hip, new places' lol)TPBM wishes things would quit going wrong with the house?!
Sure, but nothings wrong except that EVERYTHING from the kitchen is in the living room and we can't use our stove or microwave(I never want to see fast food again!*barfs*). TPBM has a love/hate relationship with how Stephen King connects books with other books(ex. Pet Sematary-Jud tells Louis that a dog went rabid and killed 4 people-Cujo)I think they're kind of spoilery, but I can never bring myself to read his books in chronilogical order:(
I'm doing good What are you doing this weekend?
I LOVE how almost all of King's work in connected in some way or another..:)TPBM finally got some much needed reading done yesterday?
Yes, but I got mine done this morning. (Congrats go getting some reading done, Dustin!)
TPBM is cold?
Yes. It was worse in gym when we had to stay outside in shorts and a T-shirt.:/ TPBM can't stand people today?(only you guys are the exception(and my Mom). Your all so nice:D)
I haven't encountered anyone particularly nasty, but it's relatively early yet (2:13 PM,) so that could change..(Thank you so very much, Holly! Those 3 hours spent in Haven were utterly amazing and blissful!)
TPBM is hungry??
Yes. I really want cheap pizza. Like from Dominoes, Pizza Hut, or Little Ceasars. IDK why LOL TPBM is worried their mom is very mad at them because the princile had to call them at work? (It's not my fault I got a death threat and told that person I was going to tell on them and made them scared of suspension!)
No, but holy crap Victor! Your mom shouldn't be mad at you. I think you were only doing what was right for you and your best interest. People need to stop being so crazy and threatening. Hope she isn't mad at you, though. TPBM is listening to Neil Young?
Nope. Thanks, Kathryn. I asked her and she said she was just mad that I didn't tell her about it when it happened because I got voicemail saying all that stuff.:D
TPBM is relieved and happy that they will be reading Dark Tower books 2-4 this year? I won't be finishing book 4, but I will bevery close.
No, I'm happy because I already re-read them earlier this year, and it was amazing as always :DTPBM thinks some people are just a lost cause?
Sure I don't know what you mean, but sure:D TPBM likes ketchup?
I love ketchup. Makes me want french fries now.TPBM wishes my husband would shut up? He has been talking non-stop ever since he got home.
Haha:P No. It's okay Kathryn. Get earplugs or just start pull a book out and pretend to read until he gets it.:) I just had french fries, Kathryn. McDonalds has the best don't you think?
TPBM hates the smell of peroxcide? (my cat just attacked me so I put some on the
Never noticed the smell of peroxide before... will have to go downstairs and sniff some now... lol! And yes, McDonald's has the best fries of the fast foods, for sure.TPBM likes the smell of oranges?
Yup. TPBM has a really battered copy of the Tommyknockers? The cover is about to fall off and it's very torn in numerous places:()
It's worn, it was my mom's back in the 80s, but it's not falling apart that bad :)TPBM wishes they had a cold soda right now?
Have one *slurp* Coke is good:) TPBM is happy that people like their recent status so quickly?
Not me.(Kit-I was the same as you. Mark asked me what I wanted for dinner, and I said, "A very large diet coke." So, that is what I am enjoying right now.)
TPBM is going to read tonight?
Yup.:D TPBM is finding the Tommyknockers a weeeeee bit boring(I can feel something might happen soon though)?
Yeah...I kind of am, to be honest.TPBM is wanting to finish The Tommyknockers soon?
Yes. What part are you on, Kathryn? Are you going to quite or take a break or just go hard and force yourself to finish? you just had Coke for dinner, Kathryn? Cool. I'd rather do that than eat McDonalds. So fattening and I really don't need the extra fat:/ )
TPBM will tell me how they read story collections(straght through, a couple at a time, jump around until they're all read etc.)
I read straight through short story collections and don't skip around.Just started "4. Bent and Jingles." I am going to just go hard and force myself to finish.
haha, no. We had burritos. Mine was a vegetarian burrito. I had a Diet Pepsi with it, though.
TPBM can't wait to get their swimsuit in the mail and start swimming laps for a new exercise?
Cool, I read them the same way except if it's something like the Bachman Books where their novels instead of stories. Wow Kathryn you are really getting in to Tommyknockers! i'm on Book II The Town, Chapter 9 the Funeral
I know something else I'd like to get in the mail:D
I can't swim anyways:(
Oh! Whoops! I know how to swim, but I can't because of my ear infection:( I still am able to take showers, but I have to wear ear plugs that just annoy my ear so much!
I know! I can't wait for you to get your package. I didn't think to get a tracking number so we could track it's location. At least it's already Wednesday tomorrow, so hopefully you'll get it by Friday!TPBM burned their tongue on coffee yesterday and it still hurts?
Oh no that's not good TPBM is watching teen mom with my mom
No. I guess it's a good thing, Kathryn because if it got here like now I'd be tortured to not read it:/
How is the Tommyknockers now? I picked up for me:)
TPBM is cold?
I'm not TPBM is watching the golden girls
Nope, not me.TPBM had to turn their heat on this morning?
I would if we had heat..:((Victor- which book is Kathryn sending you, if you don't mind me asking..? That's so very kind of you, Kathryn!!)
TPBM is hoping to continue reading today, but with the start of packing, I'm not sure if I'll get anything read..?
Awww Dustin! :(I really hate to pack.....I do hope to get more reading done today though.
(Good luck Dustin!)
TPBM is getting frustrated?
A little. TPBM hates it when people write EXTREMELY long reviews that take more than five minutes to read?
I don't hate it, but sometimes I just don't read them:) (Dustin, Kathryn is sending me The Bachman Books. It is such a nice thing for her to do!)
TPBM really wants to read Twilight?
Team Edward yeah! - Seriously....noTPBM thinks maybe they should spend less time on facebook and more time in the real world (not the mtv show)
Haha, a lot of people should do that. TPBM is going to workout?
Not me. TPBM has a busy reading life?
Nah, I read pretty leisurely, one book at a time at whatever pace is comfortable :)TPBM hopes today is a good day?
Yes, I do.TPBM isn't looking forward to snow?
The high daily temp here hasn't dropped below 100 degree's for literally 5 months, so I'm realllly looking forward to snow when I finally leave.TPBM is quite self conscious, but when alone will dance like a maniac singing along to their favorite song on the radio :O
HAHAH, Tim....how did you know that was me? I won't dance or sing in public. I will only sing in the privacy of my car or dance and sing in my house.TPBM REALLY wishes their book would pick up because they have three library books staring at them?
Nope, I'm moving right along with my library books. Although I think I might have to check one of them out again....TPBM is having a good day?
Eh, I'm not sure yet..(Victor- yes, that was incredibly sweet and kind of Kathryn to send you a copy of The Bachman Books.. now you can read Rage! You're the best, Kathryn!)
(Well, we still haven't begun to pack, but that was the plan yesterday. But because Tanya was experiencing contractions throughout the day, her OB doctor put her on bed rest for the day.)
TPBM is kind of regretting his/her decision to read The Tommyknockers with the SK group because I'm nowhere NEAR finishing it!?!
BTW, just so everyone knows, tomorrow is King's 65th birthday!!!
