And now the main questions:

1. If it were revealed that one work of fiction you know turned out to be true, which one would you want it be?

2. What condition or quality would you like to have in your life that you don't have now?

3. At this point, let's pause and bring out a question from the archives. What were you wearing at 21:00 last night?

4. WTF is wrong with people today?

5. What is heroic about you? Don't be modest.

:)

Let's start with a bonus question: How should we pronounce his first name?
I was instructed to pronounce it as "George" but without the [r] sound.

And now the main questions:

1. If it were revealed that one work of fiction you know turned out to be true, which one would you want it be?
It`s like asking about a dream to come true.
Not any specific one. For sure some unrealistic story about people being honest, sincere and responsible. A fairy tale? Good overcomes bad?

2. What condition or quality would you like to have in your life that you don't have now?
I`d like to be more assertive and probably more egoistic. Life would be easier.

3. At this point, let's pause and bring out a question from the archives. What were you wearing at 21:00 last night?
A two-piece dress, a blouse, high heel shoes. Yes, a business meeting.

4. WTF is wrong with people today?
I don`t know. I can`t tell you anything wise. But I do appreciate other people who don`t understand wtf is wrong with people today. Also see my answer to question 1. It explains a lot.

5. What is heroic about you? Don't be modest.
I`m not sure if it`s heroic but I suppose that maybe the fact that despite all hurdles in my life, I do go on.

For that this day doesn't exist - 'Five for Fri (13.03.2009) ... snare.

Let's start with a bonus question: How should we pronounce his first name? ... As 'Danzig' is the German name for Gdansk and 'Gdansk' will be for Poles ... 'Joj' must be - as we like it?

S. '1. If it were revealed that one work of fiction you know turned out to be true, which one would you want it be?'
M. - Book:'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess; movies: 'Minority Report' & 'A.I.' by Steven Spielberg (he worked on facts)

S. '2. What condition or quality would you like to have in your life that you don't have now?'
M. That comfort of naive, simple-hearted communication between Human Beings.

S. '3. At this point, let's pause and bring out a question from the archives. What were you wearing at 21:00 last night?'
M. At 21:00 polish time ... some sport staff - daily rutine with bike but ... at 9:oo pm gmt I was naked (shower) ... relativity, indeed.

S. '4. WTF is wrong with people today?'
M. I am still lookin'g to get that answer ... that has been the point that one day I have established 'La'Krla 2002-2012 PROJECT' ... If society is correct ... if society is fine WTF has been with me?

S. '5. What is heroic about you? Don't be modest.'
M. I have been cheeky, impudent to ask questions - 'Why me?' or 'Why not me?'

Well ...

as it's written but convert it directly to phonemes /joj/ ?

1. If it were revealed that one work of fiction you know turned out to be true, which one would you want it be?
Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I don't know why, but it just came to mind. Mind you "The Twits" would be pretty cool too.
No prixes for guessing my favourite childhood author.
2. What condition or quality would you like to have in your life that you don't have now?
Self discipline.
3. At this point, let's pause and bring out a question from the archives. What were you wearing at 21:00 last night?
Right here is where my open book policy slams firmly shut.
4. WTF is wrong with people today?
Lack of self discipline and respect.
5. What is heroic about you? Don't be modest.
The fact that I keep helping people, I just can't stop myself. Others keep telling me to stop and take time for myself, even to the point of an ex holding on to me to stop me walking to an old lasied house to offer to sort her garden because she obviously had nobody to help.
But, this is also my biggest fault... because I usually have no time or energy left for myself.
However, on the flip side, my decision to go and help my Polish neighbour in England ultimately resulted in my decision to move to Poland and discover so much more about the world.

Let's start with a bonus question: How should we pronounce his first name?

How about... Norman?
And now the main questions:

1. If it were revealed that one work of fiction you know turned out to be true, which one would you want it be?

'Alice in Wonderland', 'Moomins' and 'Winnie the Pooh'
2. What condition or quality would you like to have in your life that you don't have now?

Spring :/
3. At this point, let's pause and bring out a question from the archives. What were you wearing at 21:00 last night?

Too early an hour Joj (sorry, Norman :-)) for interesting answers :P. Jeans, top and the works.
4. WTF is wrong with people today?

We don't think. At least not enough.
5. What is heroic about you? Don't be modest.

Nothing. I'm not heroic. I do what I have to do in difficult situations, but that far from heroism. Fortunately there haven't been many occasions for me to check that and I hope there won't be any in the future. I like my good, boring life :D

1. If it were revealed that one work of fiction you know turned out to be true, which one would you want it be?

"The Songs of Distant Earth" by A C Clarke, of course :) I'm a very romantic versus scientific kind of a psycho.
And NO, I will not have it treated :)))

2. What condition or quality would you like to have in your life that you don't have now?

I miss the lack of responsibility :) But seriously - I need much more freedom than I can afford right now. And having a relationship with some sex and friendship [but in one package and long-lasting ;)] would be nice too. Well, at least I'm being sincere :)))

3. At this point, let's pause and bring out a question from the archives. What were you wearing at 21:00 last night?

At 21:00 I was sitting on the floor wearing that absolutely fancy grey tracksuit :)

4. WTF is wrong with people today?

They spend too much time online...? ;)))

5. What is heroic about you? Don't be modest.

'Heroic' is too big of a word. Things just happen and sometimes you can't help them. You just have to live through them. You go on, you smile again. That's not really 'heroic', is it ...? :)
