aw that's nice

there's Xmas movies here all year long too I have lots of faves, like Home Alone, Mixed Nuts, While you were sleeping, Jingle all the way, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, all the fun ones

Same question

kerbear28

^ I have so many. I actually haven't seen Mixed Nuts, but I adore all of the other ones you mentioned. I can watch Home Alone and While You Were Sleeping over and over every year and never get tired of them. I would just add It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story to my list. I have several favorite Hallmark Channel Christmas movies that I love to watch every year, too. Yes, sometimes they are way too cheesy and the storylines are over the top, but some of them are really sweet, romantic and well-done.

TPBM has ever has ever had a bad experience with a roommate (who wasn't family )?

JoJoF92

Mixed Nuts is really funny hope you'll watch it sometime. I quote it all year long and my family is really tired of it


um, yeah I have I think it was 2nd year of college, I had 2 roommates first and one of them was making out with her boyfriend all day all night so it was really annoying luckily she moved out after a few weeks. then the one I was left with got so drunk one night she came home around 3am and puked all over the floor while I was asleep it smelled so bad and she didn't clean it up until morning, ugh.



TPBM is good at navigating?

kerbear28

I'll have to check out Mixed Nuts sometime. Love Steve Martin.

Oh, no! I suppose those are pretty typical roommate horror stories. I was lucky with roommates when I was in college. I lived in the honors program dorm, so everyone there was pretty serious about their studies, and boys and partying weren't too much of an issue. The only time I had to take care of a roommate who had drank too much was when I was in law school - and at least then she got sick in someone else's apartment. Thank God.

^ Oh I'm absolutely HORRIBLE at navigating. Like... comically bad. I'm what I like to call "directionally impaired." I can barely tell my right from my left, so unless I can use landmarks as a guide or I've traveled the route hundreds of times, I will be of no use whatsoever.

TPBM owns a bicycle?

JoJoF92

I'm just as bad at it too


yeah I have a bike. it's one of the few sports I still do although not as much bc my workplace is so far away from home now I can't use it there



TPBM is a stress-eater?

kerbear28

^ Aw that's a shame. I admire those people who bike to work in the mornings - especially in the heat of the summer.

^ I definitely can be. When I'm busy, anxious, stressed and/or sleep-deprived, I'm much more likely to eat badly and snack way too much.

TPBM is careful about germs?

JoJoF92

I try to be. washing my hands whenever I can

TPBM knows any poems by heart?

kerbear28

^ Honestly, I don't really know any fully by heart - which is somewhat embarressing considering I was an English and History major in college. However, here are a few of the ones I'm most familiar with and love:

Song of Solomon 8:6
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening - Robert Frost
O Captain, My Captain! - Walt Whitman
Sonnet 18 (“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day”) - William Shakespeare
I carry your heart with me - E.E. Cummings
She Walks in Beauty - Lord Byron
Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night - Dylan Thomas

TPBM same question?

JoJoF92

wow, not bad


I do know the E.E.Cummings one, and lots of Hungarian poems cause we had to recite so many in high school


TPBM likes to watch sports?

kerbear28

^ I do. College football is really big here, so I watch that quite a bit. College volleyball, too. I don't watch much professional sports - the Superbowl, and some golf and tennis when I catch it on tv.

^ TPBM has a favorite fast food restaurant?

JoJoF92

I really like KFC. I don't have access to lots of the big companies here but that one's good


TPBM thinks world peace is possible?

kerbear28

^ KFC is one of my favorites, too.

^ Oy that's a complex question, but my simple answer is YES. I believe anything is possible with God. Perhaps TRUE and lasting peace - the peace that God alone can give - is only experienced fully in Heaven. But I believe that everyone can have a taste of that peace here on Earth - if they place their trust in God and strive to love others as they were created to love. Sure, we live in a broken, fallen world, but there is always hope for mercy and healing - for things to be better. That's what gets me out of bed in the morning.

*** Sorry for the rambling reply when "YES" probably would have sufficed. Obviously, this is my view as a Catholic Christian, and is not meant to offend anyone.

TPBM took lessons to learn how to swim when they were little?

JoJoF92

^ that's all right as a Catholic I feel the same way. it's not possible without God that's for sure

um, we did start in primary school and I really hated it because we couldn't use the swimming rings and we had to put our head under the water, I was so scared and I hated breathing water in I always loved the water but only with the floaty devices. eventually I learnt how to swim but I still don't like going underwater

TPBM has a favorite wild animal?

kerbear28

^ Oh yeah, breathing in water is the WORST. I took a few lessons at the public pool when I was really little, and then took a couple years of private lessons at a lady's home who had an indoor pool. You had to try to make it through different "levels." I could never quite get the hang of diving, so I never made it past "guppie." It was hard for me to really practice because there were a few summers when I couldn't swim much at all because my arm was in a cast.

^ Oh, tough one. I love so many of them. If I have to choose one, I would have to say tigers. Their markings are so beautiful, and the cubs are the CUTEST.

TPBM washes their hair everyday?

JoJoF92

oh, God, no it's not so bad after one day. I wash it twice or 3 times a week but that's enough


TPBM has ever dyed their hair some crazy color?
