well sure.

tpbm thinks a track of a variety of bubblewrap being run over could actually play a song if it was layed out right.

Perhaps. With a variety of bubble sizes, one could quite possibly play a tune.

I'm not sure which of those to reply to, so I'll do them both.

1. I pop bubble wrap every chance I get. Not while I'm, erm, loving myself, though. :oops:
2. I need to eat dinner every night. Tonight's dinner was delicious.

TPBM is sexy and s/he knows it!

Sexiness is in the eye of the beholder. Cliche, but true.

TPBM is procrastinating.

Yes, always. Right now, I am procrastinating bedtime, because -- like a 6-year-old child -- I still kind of believe that by delaying bedtime, I can delay the arrival of morning.

TPBM likes dark chocolate and avocado. Together.

Never tried it. And I don't anticipate getting it on the playa--too much work.

I am just impressed with catinthefunnyhat overall.

ALWAYS! But this year it seems more enthusiasm and serious discourse among camp mates this early should precipitate a significant improvement!

Thanks Cryptofishist and OregonRed... (now I'm blushing).

So... wait... who puts coins in what now? I might wonder how they did it if I knew that they had done it...
[EDIT: After Googling, I now do find myself wondering. Spooky.]

TPBM likes the smell of fog.

Haha... I just came from the tutu thread... I think I have a latent tulle fetish. Every halloween I want to make an epic tulle ghost costume. So, no, I wouldn't say that I shudder.

[EDIT: Wait, a Tule fog isn't the same as a tulle fog? Go figure... ]

TPBM has filled his/her workout bottle with coffee instead of water. Tsk!

Nope. I don't drink coffee.

Yes but only when my workout was going to be lifting drinks at a music festival.

TPBM has an ongoing battle with trying to give up caffeine.

Damn you OR - getting in first :)

Yes that is suspicious - but commendable.

TPBM wants to know why I didn't just start my reply again after being pipped by OR

GAH! It happened to me, too.

1. I have no interest in giving it up. It's an affordable and relatively safe addiction. And my partner makes the coffee with such love.
2. I think I understand... you'd already put your response out there. And the chaos is fun.

TPBM has had to give up a favourite food.

Yep. I was diagnosed Celiac recently. Over the last fourteen months, I have given up bread and beer, among other foods...

TPBM could not give up beer.

I don't drink beer (now that's suspicious, amirite?). I'm sorry for your loss, though :(

I honestly don't remember writing much poetry as a kid. I definitely write better poetry than that now.

TPBM likes alliteration.

Alliteration, love, lately my leftly lemur has leapt into literary legendhood.
(Note: this lemur is a fictional creation, and bears no resemblance to living lemurs, real or fictional.)
I find that when I do that sort of alliteration it's sort of like when I do haiku. The form makes my words into nonsense. (You'd think that I'd like it, but it actually sort of annoys me. I like my nonsense in different forms...)
I like assonance.
My favorite is metaphor. I do that as a constant struggle to express my inner world which is so different from the external "reality" that I have to figuratively show people what's going on.
TPBM has recently got sick of a long time musical favorite.

Not yet. I tend to keep my music on random shuffle, so it makes it hard to get easily bored of anything.

Yup. Better days when...
1. it's summer.
2. I'm finished my thesis and school really IS out forever.
3. I've got Burning Man tickets, and so have my friends.
4. I'm on the playa.

TPBM is wondering what all the fuss is about.
