I've been sneaking around like a ghost for a while now, decided to update because I have bunch of stuff to say...

1. Started writing another novel. I didn't finish the one with angels yet, but I had to write this one because I fell in love with it once I wrote down a general outline. It's about a regular girl who lives in a future world (post-global warming) where every human being has special powers, but she doesn't. It's a very upbeat, romantic, fun thing to write! I usually go with 3rd person in my books but this time I'm sticking to 1st person and it.is.amazing how much insight you have over your character! I should have done it a long time ago. Actually I did it once, but my tense was off. I'm never good with past tense, I'm going with present tense right now and it sounds delicious while reading! ♥

2. I'm waiting for my fall TV shows to start! I'm still watching Alias, but I'm not that fast anymore. I still have 3 more episodes to finish season 2. I still love it though! I've always been a bit intrigued with Slone, but now that I know who he really is, I can't stand him omg.

3. My brother's been watching a one-season comedy series called The Class and he insists that I watch it. Have you guys watched it? It looks funny enough.

4. My dad and brother wants to go visit our grandparents in Izmir, but I don't want to. First of all, it's too hot over there and 6 people in a single house that has no air conditioner whatsoever is torture. I could have put up with it if I was 10, but I can't anymore. Second of all, I have to deliver 2 projects next Monday and I don't want to request vacation time. I'm saving those vacation days for the week of Ramadan Feast. I guess we'll end up sending only my dad to his parents, but still very uncertain. My family loves last minute decisions.

5. Ramadan is here by the way. I'm not fasting, but it's still a very special season for me ♥ and there is warm "pide" for dinner everyday, who can say no to this? But for the first time in my life I was annoyed by the drummer guy during suhoor (meal before dawn during Ramadan). It's a tradition to have drummers walking down the streets and waking people up for suhoor. They're not like rock 'n roll drummers LOL. One drum, one man, random beats (or at least I think they're random).

6. I've just ordered Tap & Gown from Amazon. It was out in May, but I kept postponing it. Today I decided I can't wait any longer so after several clicks I did it. (I keep my "one click order" option closed, it's too tempting!) Amazon says it'll arrive between 8 - 15 September, but I'm expecting it much earlier. UK and Turkey aren't that far apart! :))

7. I have no seven. I'm out of stuff to write about. I can only say that True Blood was very boring, hence no squee on my flist. First 3 minutes were yummy though >:)

Oh look, [livejournal.com profile] nowgold, I'm listening to your song! :D

o aradaki 3 günü de alıp yayacam keyif yapacam. Yoksa bayramda bir yere gideceğimden değil. hem de şirket için de güzel bir zaman, iş olmaz o sıra... ben artık sıkıldım haftada 5 gün aynı şeyi yapmaktan dude. I want to stay home for more than 2 days at a time. I'm weird.

babannemlerde çok iş çıkmıyor bana, orası önemli değil de, işte yol uzak, hava çok sıcak, plus çok rezil bir vakit, ama babam da sadece bu hafta serbest kalabiliyor. neyse o gitsin, anası babası wants him. they don't care so much about mom and I'm too busy ve tolga is just being polite, I know.

daha çok Viva related icon yüklemeliyim. *arela'ları temizler biraz*

ben bu cuma çıkıyorum.. fena mı ediyorum bilemedim ama en azından free bir tatil olsun dedim, bundan sonra alacağım tatil okulla alakalı olacaktır onda da tatil yapmayacağım kesin.

Yay! I was missing you!

I really like your idea! I kind of go back and forth between 1st and 3rd (well, not in the same story, lol), but can't decide which I like better.

And I'm so glad you ordered Tap & Gown! I know here I normally get packages much sooner than Amazon says I will. Hopefully that'll be true for you, too! :)

♥ I miss you too!

I have always been 3rd person and I thought it was safer, but I was wrooong. 1st person is fun!

I miss Amy so much! I actually wandered around a little bit to find a copy of the ebook or something but then I gave up and ordered! I think I'm going to order the other three as well once I have enough money. It's twice as much expensive when it's in UK pounds D: AND RAMPANT!

From: [identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com
That's so uncool. :( Can you buy the ebook version? Though I guess having the hard copy is best! I wish they could, like, simultaneously publish books (and tv shows!) everywhere. I mean, there's an international audience these days!

And my copy of Rampant needs to get here faster! (I'll probably get it by the end of the week . . . but still! Faster!)

popular books like twilight or HP series comes out faster, but I don't think anybody knows about Diana here in Turkey! Except me. Wow, it feels weird haha! I was lucky that I found first three books randomly on internet!

I can't wait to go back into Diana's universes! I'm in the mood for them apparently! maybe I should order Rampant now? I don't know! It's almost the same price with Tap & Gown, I think...

She's not a huge name over here either . . . at least not yet! Rampant's getting lots of good buzz, so hopefully people will know who she is soon!

And, eee! I'm about to post some HIMYM! Maybe my writer's block is finally gone! :)

yay HIMYM! I want to read! post post post!

it's pretty bad in Ankara, I think...and the guys in Istanbul are creepy, lol. the minute they notice that you're a tourist, they don't leave you alone! :(

From: [identity profile] thelake.livejournal.com
ugh, I can imagine the tourist thing yes. well, you're home now and you can wear whatever you want haha! how's college treating you? I see things have been okay from what I've seen on twitter.

Date: 2009-08-25 02:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lynnchan.livejournal.com
yes, exactly! It is SO hot here, I just wear shorts everyday, haha, I feel so free. College is good so far :) Classes start tomorrow and I'm totally excited!

good for you! :D I've been getting those notification emails from my old school (because I never unsubscribed from the email list haha) and classes will start on 31st over there in Binghamton. I feel so nostalgic with all these college talk all over the place! Orientations and roommates and classes ~~ I miss it.
