I'd wander around an interesting foreign city, looking at the architecture, sampling the cuisine and learning about the local culture(s).

What's the first song you remember learning as a child?

It was in kindergarten and those were some Polish children's songs.

How did you find out for the first time that something like Aspergers exist?

I watched a documentary in 2002, I wasn't diagnosed yet. And I didn't see myself in any of the subjects. I rewatched the same documentary in 2004 shortly after I was diagnosed, my parents were about to tell me and showing me the doc was their way of easing me in.

Same question

In the late summer 2003, right after I got the net access, I typed down the word "autism" in the Google search engine out of pure curiosity - you know, just to check what it is - and I was left with the term "Asperger syndrome" :) I instantly thought the symptoms were weirdly familiar. But I didn't think it could REALLY be this until like 2007 when I decided to finally register on here because at first I was just toying with this idea I could have it - it would explain to me so much. I was already so tired with my futile, pathetic attempts to fit in.

Do you have good or bad teeth?

I don't know, but I do brush my teeth after every meal.

If you won a big award, where would you put it outside of your home?

I keep winning every now and then but I wouldn't have any place outside of my home to put it, I'm afraid. Because I live in a block of flats.

What's your most favorite ancient civilization?

No idea, maybe Ancient Greece or Ancient Egypt.

What do you think are the most misunderstood books people should read?

365 Days by Blanka Lipińska :lol:

http://www.kathryns-inbox.com/2021/03/r ... inska.html

If you were a Pole like me, you would certainly have known what it is :lol: :twisted:

This book is of veeeery poor literary quality (but my dentist loves it - the whole book series as well as the movie, though I'm sure he watched it just to spank his monkey :twisted: :D and my dentist, let's add, is, as I said, a man and not a woman, what is more, he is not even gay, as he already has the second wife :) ). But I do believe everybody should read it, just to know quite a bit about abusive relationships and the Stockholm syndrome.

What is your most favorite horror movies monster - like a zombie, a vampire, a demon, a ghost etc.?

Being American, I know about this guy:

How did you feel about the FIFA 26 logo?

As someone who doesn't follow sports, I had to look this up and I found this:

Personally, I think this is very... meh. I can't say that I understand the statue. To me it looks like a globe in some sort of goblet. Maybe a claw? Roots? Tree?

You could definitely play with the idea of the Earth being a football.

I can imagine that there's probably been animated material before where it starts out as a football and then as it is kicked around it becomes the Earth as it spins. Maybe hits a puddle and you see the reflection (or silhouettes) of various footballers with a message about football uniting people. That's the obvious direction you could go, in my opinion. Of course that's more about general advertising campaigns than the logo itself.

I can tell that they're trying to be modern with the typography and the black & white. However, the golden statue looks slapped on. This is the kind of thing I'd make when I couldn't be bothered with a particular assignment when I was at design school. It's not bad but it's nowt to write home about either.

Uh, what's your favourite rock song?

That statue is in fact the World Cup. My problem with the logo is that the 26 is so not evocative of a 26, plus I think it ugly.

As for favorite rock song (rock is not necessarily my favorite form of music) perhaps More Than a Feeling.

So have you ever been to a country other than your own, and literally not liked the place?

Once to italy and that was unpleasant, work-situated with (lorry-truck-semi), nasty people as far as that trip was concerned, and no toilet in the whole region?
i'd like to see the toscany region, but realistically that would not happen

same question

I have been and I really didn't like the place. There was a lot of child abuse going on.

Can you see my avatar?
