Thanks to Andrzej Starzyński for this week's fine contribution!

1. If you were too choose 3 Anglospherians to take out for lunch/evening out - who would it be? Why? Where would you go to?

Just three? Out of the people I've met, well... I enjoyed myself with Violetta and Ilter at the Turkish restaurant, and would like to do that again. Meeting Sylwia was quite a hit, as she had some great stories to tell, and the place we went to was nice too, although a bit cold; next time I'd love to see her get drunk. Adam is a wonderful person to talk to, and his choice of bars and restaurants is amazing - with Adam, you should drink at least one Mojito. Steve Jones always knows where you can get good food with bad service who tell you to get out of the restaurant because they're closing... And I'd definitely want to see Warren party like there was no tomorrow!

Out of those I haven't met yet (you hear me? YET!), Marta G. (but I'll be seeing her next week), Lidia, and Joj, who has still got my red licorice.

Did I mention Steve H.? No? ;)

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

Yes. I'm leaving at ten to attentd my grandfather's funeral and then I'm going to take part in a reception ("stypa"). Fun enough?
I've already gotten my card, so I consider V-Day ticked off.

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

Enchiladas and beer.
Roasted suckling pig (whole) with a bottle of good dry red wine.
Sukiyaki, rice, miso soup.

Desserts? I'm not into desserts, but I like flan.

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be? what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

Silence.

5. If you were able to make an influential mental appearance to your younger, teen self what would you tell yourself? Would it be in a specific situation or time?

Nope. Nothing. Life is as we make it, and we need to go through it by being responsible for our own decisions.

1. If you were too choose 3 Anglospherians to take out for lunch/evening out - who would it be? Why? Where would you go to?

First of all (my inner party pooper kicks in!) we've already had this question.
Second of all: math and numbers... only 3 people... pfft!
Third of all: all those in Anglo-mod group.

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

I'll be fighting a monster hangover after my band's gig (tomorrow). We'll be packing our stuff. Order a pizza. More packing. Wine. Whine. Packing.

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

Calzone, and/or Troffie al pesto

I'd have white wine with the former and beer with the latter (or vice versa).

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be? what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

5. If you were able to make an influential mental appearance to your younger, teen self what would you tell yourself? Would it be in a specific situation or time?

I would come to the party where I started smoking and persude myself not to do that. I smoked four years. it was very difficult to quit. I haven't smoked for 6 years and I can say that smoking was the most stupid thing I've ever done in my life.Katarzyna Marszalec edytował(a) ten post dnia 12.02.09 o godzinie 20:06

>
Well, I know quite a few of them (eg. Tatiana the Foxy Lady, Steven H. the Last Gentleman, Ilter the Sensitive Emotional Powerplant Guy, Warren the Last True Brit, and Steven Jones the Intellectual Pervert). So perchance I would drink with the ones I actually expect to see here -- Rafał and Joj. Andrzej Starzynski would also make an excellent drinking companion.

Why? Out of curiosity. Or because I sense kindred spirits.

Where? A place full of damoselles in distress.

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

>
A party day like any other. There are several V-Day parties brewing, possibly outnumbered by anti-V-Day parties... I'll probably end up listening to Debussy's "Pelleas et Mellisande" anyway. Too tired.

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

Spaghetti. Parmesan, tomatoes, oregano, or sometimes mozzarella and broccoli. I treat it as freely as my compatriots treat bigos -- I add everything I can find. A bottle of Zinfandel is a must.

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be? what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

So, my heart laid bare:

It would be a piece of Elizabethan consort music, originally scribbled down by Innozenzo Albarti, performed by Jordi Savall.

The melody is full of calm and warmth. It is dignified, too. You can almost imagine the elegant guests dancing the pavanne, eyes flashing in the light of the torches. Elate and morbid at the same time, passionate and bringing a sudden chill -- such is the spirit of the simple tune I adore.

"Who can tell the dancer from the dance?"
- Yeats

if i choose to, i will let them know, not you ;-P
+ i already know whom i will meet

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

it's my girls partah! don't know where we're going yet but hopefully NOTHING red..

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

oh man..
i might not appear as one but i do enjoy food a lot!
can't name just one single dish but definitely love my Dad's fried prawns with garlic, yummy!!!

i drink either water or semi-sweet white wine with it.

then i would probably go for lychee.

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be? what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

alternative music

sometimes it's PJ Harvey, sometimes Pear Jam and sometimes King crimson or something Polish.

no ONE single piece, sorry..

Danke :)

1. If you were too choose 3 Anglospherians to take out for lunch/evening out - who would it be? Why? Where would you go to?

- Well, initially I wanted to write Tatiana, but I did not seem to have impressed her much during out first meet :( So, I'm devastated and will stay home all weekend, sobbing ;(
- Ilter doesn't want to, since he fears my plans for world domination.
- And Michal can't since he's beat from work.
So I reckon I'll go Sushi and choose the blowfish filet.

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

Nothing in particular. I loath the wrath of organized fun and games. So usually the Punk in me comes through.

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

I never had something like that. My slight preferences changed over the years but I generally eat and drink everything or would at least taste it if it wouldn't be to gross kinda.

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be? what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

Any good song from AC DC or Gluecifer or Boehse Onkelz.

5. If you were able to make an influential mental appearance to your younger, teen self what would you tell yourself? Would it be in a specific situation or time?

That would spawn a disturbance in the time continuum and since "Back to the Future" we all know what that means. Sorry, but i do fear the repercussions as to be seen on M.J. Fox. Poor dude, he was my teen-years hero.

As for taking the question more literate: If i told myself something that important, I wouldn't be the same in the future after and wouldn't be going back and... would create a paradox which might let the universe collaps which then would lead to me not going out with three Anglo-members and me eating the blowfish.

Something like that ;-)

hi everyone....for the first time leaving my input here.

1. If you were too choose 3 Anglospherians to take out for lunch/evening out - who would it be? Why? Where would you go to?

that would be friends of mine

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

NOTHING I know I will get the stick from some of you but I do boycott that day and will defend my stand off ferociously :). my point is, that if you are in love you show your feelings every day so why the hell should you do something special on that particular day??? I say NO to pressure from society :).

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

Favourite dish? Anything Mexican, Italian, Chinese cuisine will set me for a great time. and when I say anything I mean it. Depending what cuisine is served I would love to have either wine (Italian and Mexican food) or beer (Mexican and Chinese food).

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be? what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

It must be Brit Rock...there are a lot of different types/genres but only that Brits and guys from Ramstein :) know what I like to hear.

5. If you were able to make an influential mental appearance to your younger, teen self what would you tell yourself? Would it be in a specific situation or time?

No regrets in life is my policy.... whatever I did, wouldn't change a bit of my life.

I'd take the usuals out for sure; I think it would/will be a good night.

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

Writing a paper and preparing lesson plans while packing.

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

wow... that's a tough one! I like food... there are so many dishes, depending on time of year or even time of day. I don't think I have an answer... I absolutely love sushi... my favorite - rainbow roll or a black dragon roll ... with beer or thai iced tea.

I have fears, true. But in order to change your mind, to help sweet Poles, I will meet you.
What about you, me and Violetta meet next Friday?
I'll have to attend a crazy party afterwards, so I prefer afternoon hours, but maybe you could come?
Just a note, we may talk about it in a different thread like "Just Chat" or "announcements" bla bla.

Temat: Five for unlucky Friday 13.02.2009:)

1. If you were too choose 3 Anglospherians to take out for lunch/evening out - who would it be? Why? Where would you go to?

I've already met Adam, Tatiana, Violetta, Sylwia and Steven H., so no need to mention these wonderful people.
These people is on top of my list:
Joj, Warren, Lidia
But of course, there are many more interesting people in here, they're just... new. I want to meet all, but these 3 are the golden oldies. mehe.

2. Got any plans for Vvvvvvv (I can hardly bring myself to write it....) Valentine's Day?

Nope. I will be wroking.

3. What is your all time favourite dish/main course and what do you like to get along with it? (i.e additions, veggies , starters, beverages, dessert etc. )

Iskender kebap. It comes with yoghurt, so nothing to add more.

4. If the sounds of music were to describe your deep inner self kept hidden from the world outside - what genre/type of music would it be?

That would be the same tune I expose already. My inner world is not hidden anymore. I've had a massive turn in my life when I was 18, right after my mother's death. I'd realized, we need to let everything out, because time to live and express ourselves can be limited and feelings are precious when they are expressed, not when they are hidden.

what song or tune? (links fairly appreciated)

Er, there's no such a tune. Maybe the sum of all the tunes we've ever heard.

5. If you were able to make an influential mental appearance to your younger, teen self what would you tell yourself? Would it be in a specific situation or time?

Yes, specific time, like my age between 15-17. I'd tell my young version: "İlter, don't be an idiot, and tell mum that you love her, you can never know whether you'll have the chance tomorrow or not"...
"oh, and stop observing, just laugh for God's sake! You're funnier than you think"
I'd also sit and show some guitar tricks I'd learnt when I was 20.
Then I'd start warning myself about the girls I've met in my adult years.
Not really.
Don't believe the last things I wrote. I wouldn't really give any more clues. I'd just show off. Like I always do. Even when I was 13. A complete poser. A good one. That you can't figure whether I'm posing, or I'm the real deal.

Temat: Five for unlucky Friday 13.02.2009:)

Oh true, heck, I gave a big clue to my young-self.
I wouldn't say "... you can never know whether you'll have the chance tomorrow or not", because that would be a massive burden for the young kid. It's just like saying: "I don't know when, but mum is gonna diee!! *sob* *sob*"
It'd be a bad thing to do, and I don't want to change the course of the future much. At least for now. I don't know what exactly I'd do if it was possible. :)

On a more serious matter though, I don't really feel too well with choosing only three people - I refuse to answer, seems too much like a popularity contest of sorts to me. :)
