2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?

very much so... cutting it down and turning it into a brand new paved parking lot for a brand new Galeria helps me relieve all my built up tension too.

3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?

of course they did, and unicorns used to ride rainbows all the way to the land of Jesus where happy little bunnies laid eggs and frolicked around blissfully with children picking daisies and singing happy songs of love peace and happiness while John Lennon, Biggie and Hoffa sat around a camp fire, sang Kumbaya and stuffed themselves with pink marshmallows!
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?

Fun loving criminals
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.

what sort of mission? Is the space ship sort of like the Enterprise with a hologram room and a machine that makes any sort of beer that I tell it to, or is it one of those capsules with no room to move... cause in that case I'd just bring a lot of music, some exotic seeds and enough books to keep me reading till my eyeballs fall out of my cranium.Rafal Wolk edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.10.09 o godzinie 07:40

Thank you for sending them along, Steve.
1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?
I love a lot of aspects about each of them. If I have to I'm saying early spring.
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
Not peace of mind. I carry a knife after all. Some animals don't like surprises. I do it a lot, and I'm going tonight as a matter of fact, and the most ethereal time for me is in the night in the worst storms.
3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?
I've "seen" them. :)
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?
"Beggars can't be choosers."
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission

1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?
Autumn and winter. It's so cold and dark outside that you really appreciate your safe and warm house. Besides, people and cats are much more willing to hug and cuddle.
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
Not really, since I'm always afraid of getting lost.
3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?
No idea whatsoever. By the way, why should we use past tense? Maybe they still hide somewhere.
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?
With a sense of humour.
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.
Good food, good drink, good book, and a map to find my way back. I know I mentioned only four. And after a while of thinking, I'd take only the last item with me.Urszula K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.10.09 o godzinie 09:27

Thanks to Agata Wojtowicz for these!

(I edited one or two of these.. hope you don't mind!)

1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?
Spring: symbolic of resurrection, of winning over death, fresh wind, storks and cranes coming back, fresh cold air in the morning, trees blossom...
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
Yes. Makes me think why my ideal profession is not in forestry management :-). Gantt charts for hundreds years ahead :-)
Makes me think of Thoreau and Whitman, transcendentalists.
3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?
Oh yes, they lived in our minds regardless of our cultures, existed from China through Aztecs. They must have been very real in our past.
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?
I believe every good natured person with moral integrity becomes physically attractive with time. Physically in the sense that the first impression makes one prefer the presence and cooperation with this person more than with others.
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.
I assume practical limitation: I must fly alone and take few things.
- a simple small morse radio-station easy to repair and some spare parts (somehow I would not trust NASA with communication),
- a simple personal tool for accumulating electricity from sunlight (again, I mistrust NASA)
- for reading and writing (CDs with lots of audiobooks, photographs of the past and a couple of pencils and note paper)
- if CD fails, one pocket book of imagination inspiring poems in small print.
- a miniature bow or sling, before I learn how to build one after landing (to hunt and defend myself)
(EDIT: (removed) a small version of Kalasznikow (it never fails) if locals dont let me in and immediate return to Earth is not possible :-) (I do not say I wish to kill anyone, but who knows if I am not going at least to need assertive arguments if attempts at friendly relations fail) Also for hunting.)Jacek Kotowski edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.10.09 o godzinie 10:04

1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?
Late spring, because there's sun (which doesn't bite too much) and there's summer ahead (which bites and burns like hell, great yeah). I love the sun. If there's sun, I can even bare the winter.
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
Of course.
3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?
To me, the dragons are some sort of dinosaurs, yes? (I don't have this culture of yours about hobbits, dwarfs and dragons. It's so boring, this medieval Christian thing... but I have a respect of course).
If dinos were here, then why not the dragons. Not in a way to neglect the natural laws of the planet Earth though... I tend to not believe in bullshit. So, `no` if you mean 10 tons of flying flesh and bones by this `dragon` thing.
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?
For what?
I mean there's a woman for each task...
hehe. I know I'm bad... I'm nationwide.
Seriusly:
The ones which are not truely aware that they are beautiful.
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.
Do I have the food? I'd make sure I don't die sooner than planned. Then, of course, I need women. If 'best of breed', 1 of 'em could be sufficient enough. But she should prefer men. I don't want to compete with women. That's tough.
Then comes the fast interwebz and a sturdy machine to be able to use it. I need it. That's 4?
I'll think about the 5th one, promise.

1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?
Summer, because it's warm and sunny (usually)
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
Yes and no. Yes, because of the air and beauty, no, because of the spiders!

Thanks to Agata Wojtowicz for these!
Thank you, Agata!

1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?
As I hate when it's cold and gloomy, I love spring when I can wake up from the eternal sadness, get undressed from all those heavy items of clothing and enjoy the sun and early vegetabless. Another advantage of spring is that it's followed by summer :)
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
If I don't do that because I go to work, then it is relaxing, indeed.
3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?
Of course they did! I am their ancestor! (Chinese zodiac :) )
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?
Women? Hmmmm .... :) Witty, honest, creative, and not moody.
Men... it depends what I need them for.... I love when they are tempting in the 'I-like-you-but-we-can't-you-know...' way. And with that blink... And clever and fresh (in every sense).
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.
Electricity. Internet. Laptop. And as the question says 'things' not 'people', I guess my family and friends are already waiting for me there, so I'm taking food and beverages supplies for the rest of the time.

Agata, you are the champion

so the title should be "cinque"?
1. What is your favourite season of year? Why?

For every season: turn, turn, turn,
2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?

I went slightly mad in Kongo.
3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?

Looking at some creatures, I am sure they are still alive. But I found here an interesting opinion of ilter Kalkanci.
4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?

Smiling ready for sex women and men ready for football
5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.

I prefer Venus.

Temat: cingue domandi per il venerdi (23.10.2009)

1. What is your favourite (shouldn’t it be ‘favorite’)season of year? Why?
Of course it is summer, as it gives me power to do everything, I can do all the activates I like – swimming, cycling, traveling with my friends. I need 3 hours sleep during summer while during the rest of the year I sleep like sloth.

2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?
Yes, very much, since I was raised in a house in the forest, and spent my childhood with my sister and grandma there, I just love it, it makes me feel comfortable and free, nothing really matters.

3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?
As a member of the Hogwarts Society for Dragon Awareness I can assure you, that not only they lived, but they still do and they are doing very well, not only in Norway and Romania, but also in Poland in Bieszczady mountains ;)

4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?
People with positive attitude, smart, a bit stubborn. Good-looking, I don’t believe in all the ‘inner beauty’ when it comes to someone I will not only treat as a friend or partner, but I will go to bed with – sorry, personality does not turn me on that much. As it comes to friends the look does not matter at all. Sense of humor is a must, life is to serious, and this quality is a ‘must have’ one. I do believe in what my grandma said – you will find out how the person is by his\her attitude towards parents, especially mother – so someone sincere and caring.

5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.
Camera – I would love to have some pictures with aliens
Warm ‘undies’ – it’s cold there, and it’s good to protect your precious organs
Chocolate – I do not think they have a public transportation there, and while walking I would need some energy,
My cat – she loves to travel, and such an opportunity may not happen again
iPod – I can not talk to the cat all the time, and I love music

5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.

1. Spring because everything is blooming, the weather is nice and not to hot, and it's a positive change after winter bringing more energy and vitality.

2. Usually yes, especially in the forest where are many birches.

3. If dinosaurs were like dragons maybe there is a grain of truth in it.

4. Women: open minded, dynamic but not agressive, creative and open on new challenges
Men: spontaneous, amusing, charming and responsible

5. Space suit, a MP3 with lots of good music songs, knife (I used to be a scout), a good book (but it's difficult to choose one, the best) food pils.

I like them all; yes, the fall in Poland can be dreary but it's a great excuse to have a glass of mulled wine. Or two. Or, come to think of it, three.

2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?

If you can't find inner peace nothing will work.

My son says they used to, and he keeps hoping they're still here; otherwise he won't be able to become a full time knight and slay them for a living!

Smart and witty. Preferably under 6 feet.

I wouldn't want to go, the journey itself would take a year, wouldn't it? Whatever I took I'd get bored with it even before reaching Mars.

Even when cool air starts to chill you , the sky is
high , clear blue and the sun shines pleasantly and brightly.


2. Does walking through the forest give you peace of mind?

Depends on the weather. Not in the cloudy and drizzling weather.. just like now ;((

3. Have dragons ever really lived on our planet?

All over the continents.. in people's imagination.

4. What kind of women/ men do you prefer?

Open-minded, attentive, funny, sincere

5. Mention 5 things which would you take with you on a mission to Mars.

What kind of mission? Basically I would take camera, notebook, empty bottle to put some sand on the surface as souvenir, beer and chips.
