--Mika
The quote? It's because I'm silently singing 'Grace Kelly' by Mika to myself.
The blog entry? I haven't posted anything for a while.
In class we're talking about plot, climax, and that kind of stuff. I'm really excited about it (I might look like I'm extremely bored in class, but I'm actually listening!) because I want to learn more about writing stories. I'm going to write a book or a short novel, so this information really helps! I'm still at the planning part of the story, and having too many characters doesn't help speed the process.
I tend to make "To Do Lists" for myself, and then I tick off everything I've done. I hadn't made one for two weeks or something, so I made one. And now I'm scared. The entire page is filled. Mostly drawing requests I get from people, but there are a bunch of other assignments and I have no idea how I'm going to manage it. But I'll do it somehow, even if it takes too long.
I have too many books to read. Like, 5.
I think I won't add anything new to both those lists until I'm done with most of them.
Anyway, in English class we're making this book list. We have to pick the books we would like to keep if all the books in the world were going to be burnt. My friend and I made a short list, and now we're trying to make a class list by showing everybody's lists to a certain 'chosen person' who will put them together. After that, each of us get a book from the class list, and we memorize a part of it. Then we read it to class! I have no idea what I'll get, but I hope it's something I like. If PJatO was in the list that would be easy for me since I read the 5th book (The Last Olympian) 6 times and knew most of it from memory anyway :P It's too bad PJatO is not in anybody else's list.
Happy Turkish Republic Day!!

Done
Hello! I just finished the Son of Neptune, and I'm here at midnight, to talk about it!
Great book, amazing characters, action scenes and the others are well balanced, funny jokes, but one big problem.
The end.
Mr Riordan, I don't know why you do this to me. I don't know why you do this to all the other fans. Why, would you not include the scene we had all been waiting for? I just don't understand that. Of course, cliffhangers are nice, they make the reader want to continue reading, and you do a great job at that, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR TO READ THAT PART. THE LOST HERO, I DIDN'T LIKE THE CHARACTERS. I don't want to read Piper's constant whining and Jason's clueless comments on everything. No, just no. And now, the Son of Neptune. Everything was great, I never got bored of the book, all the characters were awesome (maybe not Octavian, though. and I didn't like Reyna), but WHY, just WHY would you end a book like that? And if you're going to do that...SAMMY, LEO? WHAT? WHAT? YOU DON'T LEAVE PEOPLE THAT CURIOUS! Or at least DON'T TORTURE US! DON'T MAKE US WAIT SO LONG TO FIND OUT!!
Oh also, near the end a character named Frank (one of my faves) gets the book The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Didn't we talk about that in class?

"House gods, like...smaller than real gods, but larger than apartment gods?”
--Percy Jackson
Um soooooo I'm still reading Son of Neptune.
I've had a very busy week and I haven't had time to do homework, so finishing the book might take longer than I expected. Ugh.
Usually I have nothing to do, so I just go and fill 7 pages of my sketch book or spend hours watching anime episodes, but then I get those weeks from time to time when I just have so much to do that I don't know how I can manage it.
Today we 'celebrated' UN day at school. It was, well, boring. Last year was so much better (and no, I'm not saying that because last year they had more food)! We couldn't even walk around so much; we had to sit in the science lab and watch people repeat information about mole day.
I hope we write something in English class soon.
I just can't start writing my story >.< I don't know why!
I don't get many comments on my posts, it makes me feel like I'm talking to myself.
A link to the similes we found in class.
Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, performing some alchemy. Woot. Found on tumbr.
Sketches of Nico di Angelo and Percy Jackson.

Busy
Guess why I'm here? :)
My mom walked through the door 10 minutes ago with a brown Amazon package! MY BOOKS!!!
YAAAAAAY YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I CAN READ THEM AND I'LL BE DONE WITH ALL THREE BY NEXT WEEKEND!
My only problem is how busy I am! I don't really have time to read!!
*sighs*
I'll stay up late and read every single moment I am free. I'll read in breaks, before classes, during classes, at midnight, at 2:00 am, on UN day, in the car, in the bus; I'll read until I can't read anymore.
Of course this creates a big problem and takes away all my free time and I won't be able to draw and UGH!
I'll finish Son of Neptune in 2-3 days. The two HTTYD books will take shorter, probably. lkjhgfdsfdgfhjkljghfdfsd
ABOUT ENGLISH CLASS!:
Yesterday we listed similes and metaphors from Fahrenheit 451 (pages 113-160, approximately). That was only our group though, the other group had to find allusions. Today? We looked at some details about blogs, and then we read passages from Fahrenheit 451 and had to comment on it. It was fun!
I decided my favorite character is Beatty. Here's a question: Why do most of my favorite characters die? It's really sad.
TO DO LIST!:
x commish, art trades, gifts, such drawing stuff
x a map of a planet I'm creating
x plot map for my story
x shower
x homework
x reading, reading, reading!
x ...I have no idea, I forgot! >.<
PICTURES!:
The cover for Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan!
A photo of Ryan Reynolds (unrelated to everything I've talked about this entry) because Mr. Dale asked me if I liked Ryan Reynolds. Or did he? I don't really remember, but somebody did. I'm always floating around in my thoughts, so...yeah...

RAWR!
Hello!
I'm here today to talk about that dragon article I read. It was in the 33rd issue of "NTV tarih"
I knew dragons were a big Chinese thing, but I never knew most of the European and Asian civilizations had included dragons in their religions and myths. The article says that in a story in the 13th century, it was told that when a snake reached the age of 100, it became a dragon, and God threw it in the water. After that, the 'dragon' drew out fins, and created waves in the sea. The dragon then flew into the sky and produced rain.
There were many kinds of dragons, like the water dragons, the sky dragons, and the earth/soil/ground dragons. While the sky dragons were good, the ground dragons represented bad things.
Dragons were said to be great guards. For example, in Greek myths, dragons protected special items; like the Golden Fleece and the apple tree in the Garden of Hesperides.
Dragons were wise, a source of life, and a part of the calender!
If you had slain a dragon, you were mighty and whatever. The article says Greek gods had to kill a dragon before they could be qualified as gods. I'm not sure if that's true. But Zeus did kill Typhon (although he isn't exactly a dragon)!
I kind of wish dragons were real. Even if I didn't own one, it would be amazing to see one.
Myself and my pet dragon Porfirio flying over a rainbow that radiated pink light in the middle of night which is scientifically impossible, but of well! Drawn with a program called dAMuro and drawn very badly too! Don't you just love my digital art?

"One for all, all for one!"
Hehehe now you can guess another movie I saw :)
The Three Musketeers!
I remember reading a shortened Turkish version when I was small. I didn't completely understand what was going on, but I got the general idea.
The movie? It was cool. The beginning was just awesome. But I have no idea how to describe it. So I won't :P
I think the transitions were a little rushed. Like, they all fainted, and suddenly it wrote "1 Year Later" across the screen. The same thing happened twice or maybe more! There were lots of action scenes, and the creators really let their imaginations run loose. My dad said they really stuck to the story, though. That makes me happy!
I had two reasons to watch the movie:
1- I liked the plot.
2- Logan Lerman was acting it in.
Logan does not look good with long hair.
Bad things:
My books are still not here!
Good things:
I ate fish burgers!
I still get to be excited for my books!
I bought lots of nice pens and pencils :)
I also got a magazine about the history of dragons.
Apparently Ryan Reynolds is going to be a model for Marks and Spencer. This gives me a reason to squeal and get hyper every time we pass the shop.
I'm lost in my thoughts!
Which means I might just get started on writing my little novel.
I somehow am managing to be too busy to be bored. And I have no homework.
Athos has always been my favorite, but I always forget his name!
