The person below me

[OregonRed]

You have no idea how badly I want that.

TPBM was born to rock.

[illy dilly]

Damn straight! From the womb to the tomb!

TPBM thinks its funny that CU Boulder has closed the campus to students in an effort to stop the 4-20 smoke out, but simultaneously has mad 4-20 an actual holiday by canceling school.

This year the university is attempting to put an end to the annual ritual. They will shut down the campus to everyone except faculty, staff and students. Violators could face trespassing charges.
To discourage students from lighting up, the university has decided to fertilize the grassy area of Norlin quad on Friday.

[OregonRed]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My professors deal with it by scheduling tests on 4/20. You really don't want to be baked for most of my professors' tests, unless you're a professional. Which I am.

TPBM doesn't need an excuse.

[Lassen Forge]

Damn skippy!

TPBM can't celebrate 4-20 properly because of work, but wants to...

[catinthefunnyhat]

I am waiting for my pardner to come home (I love that pardner passes the spell-check) from his work, which is definitely interfering with celebration ATM, and we will paint the town green.

True story:Three years ago (I think), on this date, I noticed a dude on my bus whose bag smelled... greenish. So, as he was getting up to leave, I waved at him and wished him a happy 4/20. He sat down beside me and opened his bag to reveal a GIANT baggie of weed -- like, at least a pound (I didn't even know they made ziplocs that big). He reached in and pulled out a large, sticky bud and gifted it to me. He got off at the next stop. It was a surreal and amazing moment. This is not the kind of thing that ever happens to me. I'm the squarest-looking middle-aged lady you ever did see.

TPBM has a special 4/20 ritual, beyond just the smoking.

[knowmad]

I Take all of my inner hate and negativity and scrunchit into a gooie ball about the size and shape of a Baby Ruth Bar and Squeeze it out my Butt at the exact time of 04:20 in the morning then and only if will I be-able to Smoke any Ganja that Year. I takes alot of inner discipline and some fast food. Fortunately as a pot head I have allot of both. just dono where I put them....
Hey Did I ever tell you about my 4:20 Ritual?

TPBM Just Grins when the marijuana law debate comes up!

[Simon of the Playa]

been there done that ran for AG in NYS in 1998 on the Marijuana Reform Party....we didnt win.


tpbm wants a poster from that not so fateful race.

[knowmad]

I Would!

So would you PBM!

[catinthefunnyhat]

Heh... I would indeed.

TPBM still has old textbooks from university courses taken over a decade ago, despite having never opened them since.

[OregonRed]

Guilty. I might need them someday.

TPBM is eating gourmet tonight.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Hopefully! Friday night is date night, so we always go out somewhere nice for supper. Not, like, super-fancy, but interesting and a bit special.

TPBM likes dates -- not outings, but the sweet dried fruit that people put into squares and cakes.

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah. But I'm off dried fruit...
TPBM ate leafy greens for lunch today.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not today. I ate mangoes, cashews, yogurt, and rice. Kind of whatever I could find in the house

ETA: Not all at once

TPBM has half a dozen random herbal teas in the house, but only ever drinks one of them.

[Dr Helix]

Tea? Ah, no. Only one hot berverage in this house and that's coffee.

TPBM is working on BM projects this weekend.

[theCryptofishist]

Not really. But I am going to see friends from Reno poiing in Union Square.
TPBM has so many nice burner necklaces that they never all get worn. (But I have at least one that s/he doesn't!)

[catinthefunnyhat]

I have no burner necklaces at all. I'm not even sure what a burner necklace is.

TPBM has marbles and knows how to use 'em.

[theCryptofishist]

They are to be admired, whether glass or clay.
TPBM knows how to make marbles--and has done so.

[catinthefunnyhat]

sigh... nope. marble cake, i think, when i was a kid. but no real marbles.


TPBM thinks the questions in this game are perhaps more revealing than the answers.

[Eric]

Sometimes.


tpbm is bored of being bored

[catinthefunnyhat]

nah... i kind of enjoy it. there's always enough distraction around to keep me from finding something important/meaningful/challenging to do. i'm sure it's terrible for my brain, though.

TPBM enjoys playing with projectiles.

[OregonRed]

Yup.

TPBM feels like the morning after the night before.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Well, I'm well-rested and not hungover. I got high, had a nice dinner and half a bottle of wine, then fell asleep by midnight (SO. OLD). I am, however, feeling like it's the morning after the gym, which it is (again: SO. OLD).

-- Creeeaaakk...
-- Uh, door hinge need oiling?
-- No, that's me getting up.

TPBM actually does have a door hinge that needs oiling.

[Dr Helix]

Car door actually.

TPBM is in a long distance relationship

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, 2005 and further back to the last third of 2001... It's a little one-sided.
TPBM thinks Captain Sensible has (had?) a really smooth, luxurious voice.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Now that I've listened to one of his songs and part of an interview, yeah. He does. He's also very charming in the interview. I'm using the present tense 'cos it's a recent interview -- from January, 2012.

TPBM loves the whooshing sound that deadlines make as they fly by.

[Trishntek]

I actually prefer the zzzzzZZZZZZZAAPPPPPP! of live lines

TPBM has a great phobia of electricity

[catinthefunnyhat]

Ugh... along with all the other things I'm afraid of: Fire, heights, projectiles, speed, wheeled conveyances of all sorts... and electricity. That about covers it. Oh, and dried fruit, but that's more of a strong dislike than a phobia.

TPBM gets goosebumps when s/he ponders the enormity of space.

[theCryptofishist]

Hm. Vertigo sometimes, wonder others.
TPBM used to have a band.

[catinthefunnyhat]

No, although I was in band class in Grade 6. Hmm... I guess if I look back at that through a sufficiently narcissistic lens...

TPBM used to be a groupie.

[theCryptofishist]

Only in my mind.
TPBM built a shrine to one or more favorite musician/musical group.
