Star Signs

I'm really ill so I didn't go to school on Friday, and out of boredom decided to paint my nails.
I did the symbols of 9 characters from a comic I'm reading. There are an uncountable amount of characters in the comic, but 12 of these are 'trolls'. Each troll has a zodiac sign assigned to them, and 5 of my nails are those signs now. This got me thinking about horoscopes.
I've always been interested in this sort of thing, and I like reading about horoscopes and comparing them with personalities of their owners.
My favorite trolls from this comic are the ones associated with Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio, and Capricorn. What's ironic is I am a Gemini, but I have many traits of a Cancer, and my rising horoscope (yükselen burç in Turkish, I don't know what it is in English) is Scorpio! I have no relation to Capricorn but oh well.
I was born on the last day of Gemini, or the first day of Cancer according to some people. I've always considered myself a Gemini and am always irritated at people who say I'm a Cancer—it's like they're telling me who I am!
Anyways, as I grew older to who I am now I've realized I have more Cancer traits than I'd like.
Basically I'm indecisive, on the move, talkative, and sort of a jack-of-all-trades (but master of some) like the Gemini, and moody like the Cancer.
From one source I read Gemini's get along with the star signs of air and fire, which is most of my best friends!
Gemini's element is air, and I've been called an airhead before. :)
I don't believe in horoscopes that much, but I just think it's interesting.
What's your horoscope?  :)

Calming Down 101

A list for myself so I can look here when I'm upset. :)

1- Listen to Mika or music from Homestuck.

2- Draw happy things, like couples or a character who gives you hope.

3- Write. No matter what you write, it's good to put your feelings down on paper (or the computer screen). 

4- Draw the person you're mad at and torture the piece of paper. Believe me, it is satisfying. 

5- Rant to someone, get it out of your system.

6- Do not cry. Try sleeping instead.

7- Read funny comics like Rare Candy.

8- Do not read Batman. You will depress yourself more. Read something else, like manga. Manga is always more cheerful than Batman and Robin. 

9- Eat.

10- Do not break your clocks. That's not cool. You hurt your hand while doing so anyway. 

11- Don't do homework.

12- Read a happy book. Not the second half of the Two Towers, that's just depressing. Poor Frodo and Sam. Read the last few chapters with Merry and Pippin instead!

13- Don't listen to metal. Sure, it pumps you with emotion and whatever, but you do not need your anger boosted at this moment.

14- Hug something.

15- Water your aloe vera and tell it how messed up the world is.

16- If by now you have not calmed down you have some really serious anger management issues and should get some help. Seriously, girl. 

Yay. 

This is what I drew yesterday: 

If Adrian can stay happy with such a troublesome life, you can too. 

When I was going home from Starbucks today, I was late for my piano lesson, so after I dropped Ezgi off, I pretended I was Bonnie (my demigod character) being chased by a Chimera. It was really motivating. I sprinted up most of the hill to my house, and when my legs wouldn't hold I guessed Bonnie would jump behind a car and electrocute the monster. But yes, it was really fun.

And I didn't do my math homework. No regrets. 

How Original

Oh wow, look, guess what it is??

That's right!
Another blog entry where I only complain!! Isn't that wonderful??

This time it's not about my class or how quiet it is, or people.
This time, it's about the system.

You know what, I just deleted that paragraph I wrote because it was too offensive and I might get in trouble. So instead, have this:
I think I deserve more than the grade I got for my English assignment and the grading system confuses me and I have just sort of been lied to and seriously demotivated and doubting my abilities in doing stuff. I'm just really upset. *shrug*

On the brighter side, we had football practice today and it was super fun. I liked playing with our shoes off. Also, Nebila kicks hard. I didn't feel my leg for a whole minute. Ha ha.

Second Week of Sophomore Year

Looks like I won't be blogging too often.
I mean, the first day of school I got 79 questions of homework for Spanish, and I get math homework everyday sooooo....
I don't know why but I haven't written anything lately either.
Starting from tomorrow I'm going to force myself to write at least one page everyday. But the thing is, when I get home and finish my homework I'm too drained to concentrate on anything else!! I will try though.
Last weekend I went to Istanbul. I got to see my childhood best friend, Pelin, and my cousin. It was really fun!
My real purpose for being there was the Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert. Apparently they came with 20 giant trucks to set up the stage.
Well the gates opened at 4 but we went there at 6:30, and we still waited an hour for the first band to come out. It was Athena, and this Turkish rock band has been my favorite Turkish group ever since... I don't know, their first CD? I remember listening to their CD when I was really small. But I hadn't listened to any of their newer songs, so I had no idea what was happening, but it was still very cool.
We were in the category of the audience 2nd closest to the stage, and right in the front of it too.
After Athena we sat and waited for another hour and a half, when after a lot of cheering, finally the lights on the stage were turned off. The from the darkness, emerged the sound of drums. Then the guitar—Josh was wearing a t-shirt with the Turkish flag on it—and then Flea the epic bassist and finally Anthony.
And then they played songs for 2 hours and it was just awesome.
I love concerts of bands I like.

That's all for today! I'll blog when I can!

First Day of Sophomore Year

Good God I was dying.
My class is so quiet.
I mean it's almost torturous.
I convinced myself to be more optimistic this year but I doubt that's going to work.
My day started badly. I was pissed off before I got to school. Then seeing friends and being random was fun and all but, when I listened to the new director's speech I was just sinking in my seat thinking how ironic it was.
Apparently school is a dream factory.
Well that part is true, my dream was made in school.
But what's ironic is my dream is to get AWAY from school and sit at home and not feel the stress and the pain that school and stupid people bring and just be peaceful and at peace with everything.
I've spent most of my time in Ankara (in the summer) meeting up with Ezgi, and we're in different classes, and it feels so terrible. Every time I want to comment on something, she's not there. She's nowhere. I only saw her at lunch and Spanish class today. It's horrible.
No offense to the people I love in my class, but they're not as excited about things as I am and I'm just there bursting with energy while they give me awkward stares and sit calmly.
It was the first day, but I've had enough with school already.
God.
I want to lock myself in a closet with an endless notebook and pencils and some books. And never, ever come out.
