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,
