I am speechless...
1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?

Tatuś has plenty of tattoo, me neither and never won't.
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?

Yeah. I cover it very well.
3. What drink sums you up as a person?

Pepsi. I quit it after 25 years being a new generation. Michael passed away...
4. Why bother?

Economy, stupid!
5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives.

Learning is my be(a)st defence.

1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?
No I do not. I do not wish to spoil my perfect body, nor do I need extra attention by doing it ;)
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?
I always used to think I am shy (in person), although reality is quite different and others think otherwise.
3. What drink sums you up as a person?
Long Island Iced Tea, mixture of almost everything!
4. Why bother?
Because otherwise life makes no sense.
5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives. What can we do about this?
Nothing really, there is no cure for stupidity. One has to "grow" a rather thick skin to foolishness and be very stupid-proof as it could be infectious.

1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?
Does a mental tatoo count? Eg. the tatoo of witnessing somebody die in your hands?
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?
I am shy. I do not want to. Thus I am occasionally perceived as an overreactive fool, behaving somewhat strange.
3. What drink sums you up as a person?
I will stay with beers and relative sobriety.
4. Why bother?
We will regret we did nothing.
5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives. What can we do about this?
Fight, do not stay passive.

1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?

No.

I've always wanted one, (or several), but never got round to actually having them done.

Story of my life.
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?

Yes.

No.

My 'aggressiveness' is a mask.
3. What drink sums you up as a person?

No idea.
4. Why bother?

Because it's better than not bothering, I suppose.

I regret more things I didn't do, than those I did.
5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives. What can we do about this?

That is a 'stupid' thing to write.

People who accuse others of 'stupidity' are generally heading for a fall.

It is not always possible to realistically measure your own intelligence in relation to others, and you'll find, when doing so, we often fuck up.

1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?

No. I get bored with things too easily...
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?

Yes, but only in certain types of situations.
Almost never noticed by others.
3. What drink sums you up as a person?

No one has come up with that drink yet :) And when they do I am sure the recipe will be highly sercet!!
4. Why bother?

Why not?
5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives.
What can we do about this?

Stupidity is relative. Assuming that perception is our reality we can start changing stupidity by trying to change the way we perceive things!

Good job :)
1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?

No, though I used to want to. I didn't do it eventually, as I didn't want to scar my body.
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?

I am.
No, others perceive me as a self-confident person who I sometimes am anyway. Weird.

1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?

I used to draw a lot of temporary tattoos with my eyeliner and once I genuinely wanted to have one but eventually decided against it because I don't like the way a nice black ink drawing with a sharp definition fades into a greyish, dull and smudgy thing over time. Apparently you need to keep reapplying fresh ink to keep it vibrant but I'm not sure it works.
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?

I am shy. But at times I can be a bit loud (I'm an attention hooker ;))

3. What drink sums you up as a person?

Kronenbourg Blanc.

4. Why bother?

Because you never know who might appreciate it.

5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives. What can we do about this?

I wouldn't worry about other people's stupidity but my own. If every person did that, we'd soon have none around.Sylwia Łubkowska edytował(a) ten post dnia 13.11.09 o godzinie 20:56

My hero!

1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?

I'm considering getting a swallow. But the procedure of lasering off a Lone Star from by shoulder blade has scarred me for life I guess. What if I feel that the meaning behind the swallow is no longer relevant? I'll wait till January :)

2. Are you shy?

Definitely not.

3. What drink sums you up as a person?

Żołądkowa Gorzka. Bitter-sweet.

4. Why bother?

Why not?

5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives. What can we do about this?

Ignore it. You know, someone will always make a better idiot.

Thank you Steve :)
1. Do you have a tattoo? What and where and why not?
No but I would like to have one. just one. But there are so many possibilities that I can't decide. I've seen so beatiful tattoos. I a bit "painproof" so its not the case of procedure more about getting myself bored with the design
2. Are you shy? Do others see you this way?
People do not see me that way but ..depends on the situation, sometimes I feel shy or unwilling to make the first step :)
3. What drink sums you up as a person?
no idea, really
4. Why bother?
If you don't need to, don't bother
5. We are surrounded by stupidity every day of our waking lives. What can we do about this?
