Metallica
I've been to the Metallica concert, quite accidentally. The thing about metal music is that I find it extremely loud, although sometimes tolerable. But only sometimes, and that is quite frankly why I would never go to a metal concert, especially one in a stadium, full of Metallica fans.

When one of my friends told me she had to sell the ticket, because she had to be somewhere else on the day of the show, I bought it since it was cheap, and people I have fun with were all going. Anyways, when the day of concert came closer, however, I found myself incredibly close to selling the ticket on internet. Why, on the world, would I go to a concert of a group whose songs I've never listened to before? (And this is no exaggeration) But, I couldn't sell the ticket, and I found myself on a bus on the morning of the concert, going off to Istanbul. The time of the concert came quickly, beer was cheap, cheap, and cheap, and I'm not talking about money here, I couldn't drink, so I was sober. It was fun nevertheless, I didn't know any songs let alone lyrics, but they seemed similar enough, and I headbanged. Me, of all people. Guess the Metallica soul can happen to anyone.


Lipstick Jungle
I've just been watching. Not as good as Sex and the City, never will be. Lindsay Price has an Asian background, or I'm dellusional.

Istanbul
Is it too much to endure, or can I live in that wonderful city? Maybe by the wonderful city? Universities have campuses on the outskirts, too. I must say I adored Istanbul Modern, or the part of it I could see, and I absolutely fell in love with the Archeology Museum this time. But it is still extremely crowded, big and loud.

The book which gave it's name to the post
Absolutely loved it. Jonathan Safran Foer, too. It was much too sad, though.

Airports
Out with the old, in with the new already. I do not say I prefer trains, but they need upgrades too.

Don't you just love J.K. Rowling? I know I do, for writing Harry Potter. Every year around June, a weird feeling overcomes my will to conquer lists as "the best 100 of century" and pushes me to Potter books.

Great thing about Potter books: they never, ever bore you (at least me. I can swear to have read The Prisoner of Azbakan about 30 times, and it still can be read).

Bad thing about Potter books: they are addictive. I can not read any other book when i want to read a Potter.

I'm wondering if Jo will write any other book apart from those related to Potter world? It would be really strange to read a non-fantastic fiction or, amazingly, non-fiction. I'm guessing only an autobiography would serve the fans, but it would not score as high as Potters of course. I just can not picture Jo's name on a book talking about the daily wanderings of average British. It may be a thrilleristic young adult novel taking place in Africa, though. I don't know.

What I do know is Potters will be selling for a long, long time. And I, for one, will give them to my brother and my kids, so that they too can share Potterism.

Well, who is my favourite fictional character? Without giving much thought, I'd suggest someone from Harry Potter, possibly Remus Lupin or Albus Dumbledore, whom i dearly respect and love because, well, if you have read the books, they have "it", a quality that captures me vividly. Another option would be adorable Sirius Black perhaps, but not for sure. Severus Snape, also, has always been a beloved figure for me.

Apart from Mrs. Rowling's books? Let me see. I simply loved Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but most of this love results from pity. I'm looking around at the books, but wow. My standards are pretty high I guess: Emma is a little too snobbish, Jane is a little too stupid... Mr. Darcy is a close call. I like his cool and wit, but what would he be without dear Elizabeth? ı do love the narrators in Nick Hornby novels, especially the one from A long Way Down. The protagonist in Mark Haddon's "A Spot of Bother" was also really nice. Oh, I know.

I really love Vladimir&Estragon from Waiting for Godot, and the narrator from The Secret Flame of Queen Loana. And of course... Hercule Poirot! How could I forget my all-time favourite detective?

The answer is then, I guess, Monsieur Poirot! He is smart, he uses his little grey brain cells, he is witty, he is nice. His representation is movies are far from the truth according to me. I truly love him.

That Sam guy who appears when i choose a mood is really really weird, i pity yet fear him. Anyways... tomorrow is the end of my spring break, and back to school will probably be harder to never having left.

I just updated my deviantart :) happy am i. (yoda time)

happy are you?

coffee, chocolate, cooking, making desserts, starting something new, bş, square faced people, wide shoulders, green, purple, purple and brown, nice hair, perfume, smell of bread, smell of grass, emma thompson, orlando bloom, jane austen, fashion magazines, umberto eco, kings of convenience, indie, postmodernism, buying notebooks, moleskine, bookstores, amazon, walking with shoes off...

these cds are quite interesting to listen, and the spanish accent is quite hard, although it does not show.

mucho gusto/custo - nice to meet you
buenos dias - good morning
buenos tardes - good afternoon
muy - very
si - yes
please - por favor
thank you - gracias
you're welcome - de nala (or smt like that)
no problem - no ay problema
of course - claro!

for now, that's all i got to learn.

anyways, although there is school tomorrow and i have plenty to do, i am still fooling around. and those food blogs i found lately are to die for.

http://cafefernando.com
http://www.travelerslunchbox.com/journal/
http://www.nordljus.co.uk/en

there are some more, but i only remember these three vividly.

and i dunno why but i just realised i have so many usernames in the net. lately i've been trying to change it and suddenly there were like 5-6 usernames scattered all over the net. i just invented a new one and liked it so much that it became my nickname for the forums i signed up for...

grande - big
chico - small
rapido - fast
facile - easy
difficile - difficult
pays - country

this is like the mixture of french and english, with e at the end. what i would really like to learn is italian, but that seems impossible for now. the only things i know in italian are:

brani - songs
artisti - artists
in riproziduone - playing now
stop - sleep
la luna - the moon
una notte - one night
napoli - naples

(thanks to ipod language preferences and pink martini - una notte a napoli)

i really loathe self-centered, egoist people.
they simply want me to puke. this has nothing to do with underestimation, but when i see someone claiming they are over "confident"... arghhh i get so angry!

its not that big deal! you can be the best in your field, or what you think is a field, and people can imitate/hate/adore you, but bragging is worst. whenever i see someone bragging its done, i start to hate them immediately.

that goes on hate book too.

staying up late sucks. for years now i haven't been able to manage my sleeping times: i never go to bed when i'm actually sleepy (around 10) cause I'm watching something, or I really have some hmw etc. And then it all goes away, and then its 12 o clock, I can't sleep and I haven't done anything!

anyways now it is 00.18 here. which is really late for moi, because I have to get up around 6.30... damn, i hate school! and i haven't yet read the crucible, or the book i have to read that I'll have an exam on tomorrow. I wish there was an holiday... but the mayor's from east (its a joke... he never ever allows school holidays, and his permission is a must, anyway, in east its cold and snowy, so he doesn't care if it snowed a little here... but it paralyzes our lives, and hopes of staying home one day, sleeping!)

besides, i ditched my after-school prep. today. i'm thinking of quitting altogether, so its no big deal, but just thinking about next year when I have to go to courses every single day and IB at the same time doing stupid essays and stuff... I really have to work this year. If only I had topics.


Facebook is stupid by the way. It rocks, that be known. BUt its stupid, it takes up all my time. Yours too, I guess... Wonder is there any good journals out there? Like one I'd want to read every single day... I recently round a website through a website (a forum) which consists of a girl's stories on harry potter and they are kinda good, i want to read them, but since i can't look at the monitor for ever, and the stories are 120 + pages long and I cant print them, I can't read. Its sad. Plus, there are more and more stories, and other sites, which I found through that website, and all of them are good(well, not perfect, since all the stories in turkish go on this thing: harry is a hero. hermione and ron - the perfect couple, ginny is a beauté, voldemort is stupid, snape's a hero etc. etc. and these stories are slash and smut and they are kinda intimadating cause they are turkish and in turkish they don't sound hot, they just sound like a bunch of wannabe teenager flicks) and I conclude that they were actually written in english.. i just feel that way. translations arent for harry potter at all! any book would do, but harry potter is mystic and perfect in the way jkr wrote it, the original that is.

gotta sleep.
desperate housewives was nice. good to have bree back. katherine is strange, but she has this thing about her which lily in gossip girl (the tv series, not the book) and mcdreamy's wife (i forgot her name, its been ages since i last watched grey's) has and it disgusts some people, but really attractive to me (i'm not lesbian or anyhing) and makes me want to watch the character forever. which is why i watch grey's and private practice although i hate doctor series.(except scrubs. and nip/tuck. but they are not so hospital-centered)

one last thing, all the crap e! does, girls of the playboy mansion is the most fun to watch. and now its 00.36 and i'm as awake as one can be. and hungry.. i hate this mood.

computer must be closed at times like these!
and so it will be.

to infinity and beyond!

this just in : my will to write has come back! it's so great, and i kinda have those tingling feeling somewhere between my heart and stomach and it kinda doesn't allow me to eat much, but good news is i'll be able to write and lose weight. yay me(london tipton)

ever watched the suite life of zack and cody? pretty much like everything else on disney channel, it is a show for kids, by kids, but the feeling the writing& disney channel& old nickelodeon shows are quite equal. its like returning to old times when i wrote a lot, watched cartoons from 7 o clock to 7 o clock and ate plenty of lila pause coconut.

gotta watch desperate housewives now. kinda sucks nowadays, however i'm curious what will happen.

i don't know about anyone else, but elyse sewell's (whom you may know from america's next top model, cycle 1) journal was one i read even before i signed up for live journal. in antm, she was everyone's favourite and one day, i don't know how, i found her journal. and it was really fun. she updates continously, read her, it's hilarious. (elysesewell.livejournal.com)

anyways, i was doing some research for my biology experiment (high school sucks btw) when i ran into an article about janice dickinson.(that's internet) you know, the first "supermodel" in the world (also from antm, but has her own show and appeared in those commercialist thingies in e!). i really dispised that jd. superficial, some may say. frightening is another word. well, she's a real lady -------------------------------->

it's months after the release, and now i realise i've been in a denial period ever since i finished deatly hallows.

harry potter is one of those that made me complete. along with my friends, my family, and little bits and pieces. how can a book affect a life? it can, it really can. harry potter can. i've never come across a book as mind blowing and wonderful as hp. and i doubt i will. no literary product can have so much power on one's life. i bet along with me, it changed lives of many, not only jkr's.

when i first read a hp book, i was 9. now i'm 16. it's excruciating to not being able to wait for hp. it's frustrating not be able to write about the next booki trying to predict what will happen, how will it happen. but it's all worth it. best series in the world.

thank you jkr. for making me like goodness, and making me able to place people in the grey area. thank you for making me see the good in people, and not look for bad. thank you for giving me friends,ones i'd never meet if it weren't for hp and thank you for making us able to talk about a book for hours. thank you for making me say "movies suck" once again. thank you for not making harry daniel radcliffe, and thank you for keeping the humurous side. thank you for severus snape, best character ever. thank you for sirius black(hottest ever!),  remus lupin, hermione granger, ron weasley, fred and george, albus dumbledore, hagrid. and thank you for making me want to write stories. thank you for replacing the writer in me, one which has been gone so long. thank you for making me love something so much. thank you for making me complete. thank you, for it couldn't have been better.



i'm sitting on the floor in the gryffindor common room, in hogwarts in my heart. the fireplace is cracking sleepily, my favourite armchair seems a little tired...

okul başlamak üzere. akıllı insanlar asıl tarih yerine 10 eylülü seçince ?!?!?! die kldım ama işte "tatil başladı heyojelibonyiyipdenizegircezveatlayıpzıplicazyaptığımıztonlarcaplanıyapcazçünkütatilgeldihopidikhopidik" derken okulun başlamasına 2 gün kaldığının farkına varmanın acısıyla kendime bir livejournal açayım dedim. kaç kişi türkçe okuyodur? kaç kişi bunu okuyodur? gibi can skıcı soruları geçmek istiorm. bi saattir yüzüklerin efendisi soundtrack'i dinliyorum ve çok garip sürekli aklıma koro filminden "cerf-volant şarkısı geliyorr ki pek harika bir şarkı o.
