School Starts Next Week??

Well, poop.
I don't want to go to school.
School is a monster that eats up your happiness and free time.
The school system should be changed so that it's less tiresome and less stressful and we actually pick our classes earlier on so I can deal with things I actually care about instead of using up the time somewhere else.

I changed the "about lightningbolt-13" page so if you want to see the updated version feel free to look :)

I don't have much to say now, I'll blog a lot later.

Whoa

I keep wanting to blog but then something happens and I forget. Today I didn't!
I'm at Bodrum again, swimming, doing nothing.
I'm writing. But slowly. I write a bit every day. I wanted to write a lot more. And paint. I wanted to paint.

All i've been doing is listening to music and lying at the beach.

I'm going to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert in September! I'm really excited but I hope some of my friends are going too!

I had a lot to talk about but I forgot. Pffff.

Well so I'm writing chapter 3 and at some points I feel like it's completely unnecessary. It's like the short stories I write about my characters... It's fun to do and I get to write from other characters views, and I tell more about the planet and how things work, and it's sort of a funny chapter with lots of dialogue. But I don't know if I should keep it or delete it. I guess I'll make a few people read at and have their opinion on it before I do anything.

I hope everyone is having a fun summer and not procrastinating like I am.

I'm back?

I'm sorry I haven't posted for so long, but my computer was overheating and I couldn't stay on it for long.
But we got it fixed! They replaced the fan, and I have the old one next to me right now. It's pretty interesting to look at. My computer's old. Good job buddy, keep up the good work!

I don't even remember what my last entry was about. But anyway, I spent a week at Bodrum with my aunt, little cousin and uncle. My uncle is constantly teasing me. I have arachnophobia and he pretended to throw a spider on me. Not cool.

Now I'm back home, and I'm happy and calm. I'm doing homework, and drawing a lot. A lot.
Since I have my computer back and healthy, I can write too! I have the entire 3rd and 4th chapters planned in my head and I even drew maps from Oran's perspective, so as if he drew them with his notes on them. And Kael wrote on them too, so it's fun to do it. I also designed the jets for the air force, and I love them so much. I'll scan all of these now and probably post them up.

I finished the Hobbit. Finally. Did I say this before?
Well anyways, I've been to the movies a lot since school ended and every time they show the trailer for the Hobbit, and every time I see it I freak out and squeal and wave my arms around. When we watch it we're going to dress up. I'm Smaug (of course), Eda will be Bilbo and two of my now-9th-grade friends will be Gandalf and Thorin. So we will be epic.

Right, so they drawings.

The Dark Knight Rises

Yes, we watched it yesterday. Before the movie I bought myself an awesome action figure.
The movie was amazing. Maybe a little too...impossible? But still amazing.
Nothing more to saaaaayyyyyyy!

All my friends left. But...
My cousin came to Bodrum! He's adorable and hilarious.
Now I'm watching the olympics! Congrats to N. Karagöz, she came 5th in weightlifting, and now we're watching volleyball!


OH OH OH ALSO! There's an albino kid at the beach! It's really cool seeing his white hair and pink skin, he's so awesome!

Bruce with Selina

Batman vs Bane!

Summer Post

Hello!
My Gettheva, I haven't had any time to blog!
I've been in Bodrum for about a week now. I have my computer and internet, but no time! My childhood friends are here too so it's extremely fun and busy.
I had so much to say but now it's all gone. I don't remember anything.

Oh, we're watching Batman tomorrow! I'm super excited—I've been waiting for this for a while and every time I remember it I start freaking out inside—and I can't wait! We have to go in the city to get to a cinema, so we'll be at a big mall.
For the past two nights we've been cooking our own dinners home while are parents are outside, so that's pretty interesting I suppose.
I've been drawing? I can't write. I have no time and in the small amount of time I have I don't have concentration! It's really frustrating, but I can draw. I filled up about 15 pages in this week and Spain.
I got a new iPod and put my metal music in it.
I feel very fat because my friend is fit and tells me she's fat.

Uh. The sea is very cool. I like swimming but I'm getting lazier and lazier by the day. I used to swim a lot, but now ehhhhh not so much.

I don't want to go back to school. Nope. I just want to keep having a summer holiday.

Glimpses of 8th Grade

Hello!
For the last few weeks I've been always reminded of Harry Potter and how I used to love it, and today we were talking with Ezgi about a fanfiction we wrote together in 8th grade.
It was about us, going to Hogwarts, with the next generation of Harry Potter characters. I read it all again an hour ago.
I missed writing that! I feel like both our writing has improved massively (maybe Ezgi's more than mine? But she was always better than me so that's no shock). Anyways, the story is about my character, Jennifer, a Ravenclaw, and Ezgi's character, Eve, a Gryffindor. They're best friends although they're in different houses, and they're both dating our favorite new gen male character at the time. Mine is Teddy Lupin (still is, mind you). He's the son of Remus and Tonks and he can change his appearance and all that jazz but we made him use that ability so he could have colourful hair. Aaaaaaannnyways and Eve was with James Potter III.
So not too much happens at the start of it, they've just come back from summer holiday and everyone misses everyone yadah yadah yadah, but my favorite part comes when they play Quidditch. It's Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor... Gryffindor hasn't lost a match in a century. Ravenclaw isn't too hopeful. But yet they go out again—"“ Captains, shake hands.” Madam Hooch ordered. As James Potter and Marcus shook hands, I looked at our rivals. Teddy, floating right beside James, winked at me, and Eve, my best friend gave me an evil grin. Madam Hooch opened the trunk, the two devils, bludgers, flew into the air. Then the rest was a blur."
He match goes on without much action... Gryffindor winning with a big score difference. When all hope is lost for Ravenclaw, their seeker Larry finds the snitch. But before he can catch it, the Gryffindor seeker Eve catches up with him. When her fingers are scraping the golden ball, something hits her arm...then her head, and she crashes to the ground and passes out. 
Two bludgers, both shot by Jenny. 
Then of course when Eve gets better she's angry at Jenny, and when Jenny is coming to apologize for almost killing her, Eve insults Jenny in the worst way a witch could possibly be insulted, and slams a door to her face. Then all this drama occurs and it's actually funny. 
I just love this too much. Toooooooo much. I wish we continued this. Even if we don't, I'll be drawing these scenes for a while now :-) 

Pre-Holiday Post

On Saturday I'm going to Bodrum, but I just want to stay at my house in my comfy bed until school starts and not move a muscle.
I gained a kilo in Spain because they fed us nothing except french fries, and I've gotten rather...paranoid about it? Sooooo this is a chance for me to work out a bit before school starts.
I'm also getting worried about summer homework. We have too much homework and I've done almost none until now. I don't want to. I seriously don't want to do any homework, but I tell myself I have to and I waste the day by sitting in front of my computer listening to music and finding everything but homework interesting. It's so hard. I can't do anything productive because I have to do homework, so I just end up doing nothing at all. I hate the homework this year too. I wish they either didn't give homework, or gave the homework as 'optional reading'. Because if it's optional reading with no extra scat like making 9 summaries of things I do not need to summarize.
You can freaking read those articles yourself, I don't have to tell you every stupid detail about it, thank you very much. I like reading science magazines on my free time—it's the only mag I read—and I don't want to do it for homework when I'm supposed to be RELAXING from that pain in the butt year.
I wouldn't do any of these if they weren't worth project grades. And that paragraph could have been filled with a lot more anger.

So a guy from camp named Jonny (who probably hates me now) made me listen to lots of metal, and he suggested this one band to me which I have fallen in love with. They're called "Of Mice and Men" and although they're a metal band their singer has an angelic voice and their lyrics are beautiful. Slightly ironic? But they're wonderful. But their music makes me edgy. So this might be why I'm freaking irritated right now. Oh and also the fact that my parents keep trying to talk to me when I have my headphones on so I have to pause the music just to hear them ask an unnecessary question is pissing me off too. Bleh.

I don't want to go back to school. The stress is the least of my worries, there are just people there whose faces I want burned in acid.

Angry kid I've become. I wasn't like this yesterday, I have no idea what happened, I'm sorry.

I felt like posting a little preview of my third chapter. The early patrol idea is Levent's, but the sunrise is mine:

    Like on every other planet, sunrises were beautiful on ______ too. The sun crawled out of its’ bed between the two mountains and smiled upon ________. Not many people saw this marvelous sight, as morning came early, but Adrian was one of the few who got up before the sun only to watch the sunrise. Being a pilot for the military, and at a time like this when the security of the castle was first priority, he had to go out on patrols at certain times of the day. The pilots had to fly outside the castle’s own radars’ range to check even further. Adrian thought it was ridiculous, but he enjoyed watching the sky change colours from the dark purple of the night to a bright red blanket around the white sun, and finally lilac. Some days he didn’t bother taking his jet, and slightly transformed into his animal—a small lizard with wide wings—so that his wings sprouted from his back and he could fly to a Northern city and spend the rest of the day there until his second shift, when he would come back. 

  The joy of flying came from many things—the speed, adrenalin, the excitement of making a vital choice in a matter of seconds, but nothing could compare to the chilly breeze on his hair, blowing his fringe back, whipping his feathers around, straining his back and his wings, it was the best thing in the world.
