It was a quite ok day. Went fishing with a young chap from work. He's 19 y/o, mildly autistic (dx-ed as) and a good bloke. I haven't been fishing for years and I thought it could be nice, maybe try to motivate him a tad.... he tends to be a bit passive at times.... Anyway, we caught 9 fish in total and one I caught was a carp of about 40 cms, which isn't really that big but it was the biggest of the day. Saw twice a kingfisher (prob. the same) and lots of those big dragonflies (10-12 cm., yellow, green and blue ones).

I know I am but would you dare saying you're a nature, um, freak? Or are you more 'meh' towards nature?

Is there any book or piece of music that has really influenced you lately?

My own, but if I must choose something else, it must be a tie between Denmark and Sweden, MAYBE Denmark.

Same question.

I always dreamed of going to Costa Rica.... but sadly I've never been there. That country is known for it's beautiful and lush nature and gov there made a very wise choice earlier to combine preservation of it's nature and tourism. Plus the fact they don't have an army (I dislike the army and shite a lot) makes the country very attractive for me.

Ok, the opposite.... what country do you dislike a lot?

I'm afraid my tastes change over time, so there really isn't a constant. If I had to choose, I'd say comedy.


Do you prefer watching series' or films?

Probably series, since they have more material, the characters can develop more, and they can have multiple themes within a given setting or environment.



Same question for next person.

no preference. like parakeet said, characters are usually better written and developed in series, but then again that makes making a really good film such an art form because the format is limited and therefore more difficult.

favourite series that's on this fall?

Honest to god, I really had to think for a second about what you meant by "series"....
"world series? TV series? Huh??" :huh:

In a completely un-self-righteous way, I must say that I don't watch TV.
So I can't answer your question. Sorry :(

Whether by misdirection or distracted confusion,
have you ever gotten lost while you're out in the world?
Please tell us about a time when you got lost.

Some of the only dreams i have that i remember are of getting lost. For as long as i can remember. It's probably led to my obsession with directions and driving and map reading abilities and why i've actually never gotten lost before. Very meticulous when it comes to figuring out directions when i'm going somewhere new.

Same question.

I get lost all the time :(
But sometimes not :)

Generally, are you the type anxious or more casual?
