No. I collected Corey Hart pics when I was about 12-13 because my friends told me I was abnormal for not having a crush on some famous hearthrob(s), and both Michael Jackson and Duran Duran were already spoken for in my clique. I put a few of those pictures on the wall, but they never amounted to a shrine.

My friends had shrines, though.

TPBM has taken flying lessons.

False, unless skydiving counts as flying.

No... I do sometimes think that something like that would be a good way to deal with my fear of heights. When push came to shove, though, I'd need a push.

TPBM is an expert in pre-1950 horror films.

Not an expert, but I did grow up with Lon Chaney, Bella Lagosi and Boris Carloff as my stars of Friday Night Frights and Science Fiction Theater

Don't believe any famous monsters are real, but that doesn't keep me from getting stressed when the wind scrapes a tree branch across my tent on our Montana property

I do.
TPBM will tell us a story about how s/he discovered one of her/his favorite musical acts.

Hmm... I wish I could remember any of those stories. My favourite musical acts, it feels like they've always been with me. Most of them I probably discovered through friends, or via compilation albums, or something equally boring.

TPBM has plonked at least one ePlaya user in the past.

Oh, yeah. I have two that are total anathemas who are plonked under any circumstances and then I find that I'm too damn old to cope with people who are constantly irritating, so my list is longer than I can recite.

Fishy didn't ask anything because she already knows too much about the person below her. Damn cryptographers!

TPBM has a drawer full of gifted artwork that has too much sentimental value to be given away but for which there isn't really room on the walls.

Not gifted. Or not all gifted. Some I even did myself. Still don't know what to do with the Sea Monster and Bride and Groom...

Just my theme camp, daytime bar, and running the Oregon Fire Conclave. Otherwise, I have no plans for TTITD.

A perfect weekend would have involved finding my Soviet pins and having mad fishy sex with some cutie...
TPBM knows what would have made my weekend even better than that.

A trip down memory lane I guess. Diving head first in the shoe box full of receipts. Canadian taxes are due in a week :?

Well, if someone kidnapped me and dumped me in a strange place where I knew nobody, didn't know if there were predators about, didn't know where to find food, and suspected the locals weren't kind to outsiders, then...

I'd be in ePlaya?

Definitely not a humane place for a racoon. There are badgers everywhere.

TPBM thinks that the worst description of ePlaya s/he has heard in a while. After all, the bar is clearly labeled.

I would be delighted to sit in the back and throw spit balls... But why not sit in the front like we don't give a FUCK?!? Way more fun!

((OR))

Abso-fucking-lutely. I can't wait to meet all you beautiful people and have real drinks together. I have to come up with an ePlaya-themed shot recipe...

TPBM is hoping that recipe doesn't include bacon.

Nope. Last night I saw the inside of my eyelids.

Yes, and yes. My desk is littered with empty club soda cans and dirty dishes. There are more dirty dishes piled up in the kitchen. And there are SOOPs (shoes out of place) all over the apartment, most of them my partner's.

TPBM would like to be a meteorologist in the next life.
