I got to see David's hair yesterday, and it ain't bad! Reminds me of back in January. *grins* Yes, David's new hair has been Melike-approved. *grins* Man, I've been having the weirdest dreams lately.. the world was coming to an end so I climbed a big building/tower thing to give crackers to the pigeons there so they wouldn't starve to death after everybody died. This big mob of people were following me, thinking that I was leading them to safety. When they saw me giving the crackers they were like, "What the hell is this?!" and they got mad and left. Hehehe. Actually, the world didn't come to an end by the end of the dream.. but I think it was about to that night or something. Whatever!! There's more to it, which I wrote in my diary. Yay! Now the dream is stored somewhere forever! Cuz.. I hate it when I forget really cool dreams.. grr. posted by Melike at 14:09

Aw.... I'm gonna cry.. I just found out that David got a haircut! Must .. keep tears.. to self... *big breath*
Ode to David's Hair. Ah yes, the curly sparkly shiny Jew-fro that everyone (except for me! and I think Artie..) hated. "Cut your hair!!" everyone complained. Actually, David has put up quite well with the peer pressure that has been eating away at him for months, for, you see, he promised me that he wouldn't get a haircut for a while, back in.. September? I think the last time he got a haircut was during the summer. During summer school. That was pretty traumatizing as well.. but not as traumatizing as now. Ah, alas! Now nobody will be able to put David's hair into pigtails.. or call him Goldilocks.. or make a ponytail (when it's wet).. He also won't be a pretty convincing crossdresser.. (Remembers the time when he crossdressed for English class.)The amazing hair that somehow looked bigger and scarily shinier in photos and ID pictures. Ah, the peachy coconut smell! The soft touch! The weird chloriney shine! The long curls that looked like those Chinese finger traps that flew in the wind like the hair of those people in Pantene Pro-V commercials! Little did I know that last Friday, when I was lost in thought, staring at that head of curls that shined by the candlelight, that that day was the last day that I would see David's beautiful hair in its full glory. Let us all have a moment of silence to honor David's genotype and my taste in hair length.
....
Hey, I never said I was a good writer. Farewell, David's hair! *goes to a corner to cry* posted by Melike at 21:59
I'm soo tired today.. Ugh!! All these people keep calling me all the time! Soha calls me every night anyway, and yesterday Nuruddin called me and we talked for hours! Damn it, I went to bed at 12:30. That ain't healthy. So tonight, I'm just going to go to sleep as soon as (well.. perhaps an hour or two after) I come from class. Tomorrow's going to be a very busy day! I'm gonna get out of the house at 8:00 and come back home at around 7:30 or so! But I like days like that. Yay!! I got a 5 on my AP Bio exam! I won $2,500! Hehe. Good to know that my first AP class has been a success.. hopefully I'm not traumatized. I hear that the AP Chem test is really hard, though.. I gotta take that next year. I hope I don't slack off too much.. but, as Mr. Gaida said, I'm a slacker! But.. he says that to everyone. *grin* Even those who aren't slackers. And that really pisses those people off. Hehe! Today in the morning my mom and I weren't really getting along so well, and I come home after class and find an e-card from her! She rules! Yay mom! *big grin* Ugh... headache! We have TONS of French homework tonight. We haven't had this much before.. Heck, I usually don't have this much schoolwork during a regular school day! Hehe.. Oh well. Ooo! We learned past tense in French today! And tomorrow -- commands! Yes! This thing is so fast-paced! Yahaha! Oh man, my mom just brought me the calzone we took home last night, and it's sooo good! And she also made me ayran.. it's this drink and there's yogurt, water, and salt in it. Now that I think about it, the Americans here would probably think it's weird. But it's a really common drink in Turkey, it's almost as common as coke. And now I shall eat. posted by Melike at 15:45

Look at my imood thingy!! It's different! You know those happy/sad/so-so/angry face icons next to the mood? Well they got more options now, and some of them are really cute!!! Yay! I can express myself better now! *overcome with joy* If you have imood already, go there and change your mood! Have fun with the icons! And if you don't have an account yet, get one! Roberto, get imood! *grins* posted by Melike at 15:52
The featured Teoman song for today is entitled "Kisisel Bir Sey." It means "Something Personal" in Turkish. I'm just gonna do what I did last night, write the lyrics in Turkish, then translate them. If you care, read. If not, go away. This is one of my favorite songs. I think it's because it sort of means something to me. It reminds me of my life, and just.. yeah. Man, I can find so many people from life that fit these lyrics. But only the most important ones stick in my head at the moment. Without further ado, here it is.
kisisel bir sey kisisel birsey degil bu yasamak zor buralarda kimdendi bu yara diye kalbine sordugunda gercegi istiyorsan diyeceklerimi unuttum garip geliyor dostlar iz birakmadan kaybolunca bilirim geri gelmezler, ama en guzel gunleriydi onlar hayatimin bazen bir fisilti cikar bagirmaya calisinca tek bir umut bile yok mu insan gecmisle yasayinca son kez inan yalan olsa da bazen bir ruya yeter kendimi kandirabilirim ikimiz de gorursek eger.
something personal this isn't anything personal it's hard to live here when you ask who this wound came from to your heart if you want the truth i forgot what i was going to say friends seem weird when they leave without a trace i know they won't come back, but they were the most beautiful days of my life sometimes a whisper comes out when you try to scream isn't there one single hope when one lives in the past believe for one last time even if it's a lie sometimes a dream is enough i can fool myself if we both see it.
Yah... It's a nice song.. I always want to sing along with it. That's it for now, adios. posted by Melike at 02:15

Hey you guys!! My mom got me a neon orange jacket!!! ... that's a good thing. I wanted orange pants, but actually, what I really wanted was just something orange that could go with my tank tops. And a jacket is just as good! I think I'll make a neon colored jacket collection, since I already have a neon green one!! *snickers* Whahaha! I will gouge my French teacher's eyes out! I wanted purple boots during Spring Break when I was in Turkey, but I never got the chance to buy them since I'd already bought so many other shoes.. I have three purple sweaters! I can't wait until winter.. except, now I've lost even more weight so my favorite brown fuzzy pants are sliding off my hips.. a bit too much.. :) Aww! And it doesn't have a belt place thingy! Grr.. well.. I shall find a way to wear those pants since they're just so cool. But I have a lot of time to think about that, since it's still summer. posted by Melike at 23:51
LOL! This is the funniest blog I've ever been to! posted by Melike at 18:01
Okay, yay, it posted last night. Hope it posts this message, too. Today we were learning about food in French class, and it was such torture.. so then my mom and I went and got cheeseburgers.. hehehhee. I have been feeling pretty down lately. I've gotten even more sluggish than before and I just stare at everything with droopy eyelids. Inside there's a lot going on though. I guess you can't have volcanoes exploding inside of you and be energetic on the outside at the same time. *smiles* I need to write in my diary! I love how I can write about anything.. I can really let loose. It's not like anybody looks at my notebooks even if they don't have locks on them anyway, but I don't know.. that little metal contraption makes me feel so comfortable and free.. and I'm the only one to see it.. so I can write about anything and make any weird joke or random reference and I'll get it. It's such a nice feeling. Hehe. I love how I write to myself.. it makes me laugh a lot. Like the ones I wrote years ago that was just for me to see and understand, they're so bizarre and.. sort of like an inside joke.. a really inside inside joke! *grins* It's so funny.. like sometimes I start explaining something, then I'm like, "I can't explain it.. oh who cares! You're the only one who's going to see this anyway and you know what I'm talking about." Enough of that. I'll see you guys later. posted by Melike at 16:15
And Blogger refuses to post my entry. Grr. I ain't got time for you, kid, I'm doing my French homework! posted by Melike at 00:13
Hello... the featured Teoman song of the day is.. "O"!! I'm gonna put up some lyrics to one song each day, cuz I like them.. I was just listening to it right now and I felt like putting this one up, so... here it is. A little explanation.. Turkish is weird. The placement of the verbs, subjects, etc. are all different. So.. I will try and translate this line by line, but if it doesn't make sense don't sue me. Also, there are Turkish characters that don't appear on most computers, so I am going to type them in English letters.. for example, the letter � I will type as c, and � as o, and so on. Turkish people will get it. Those who aren't Turkish needn't get it anyway. Another thing, in Turkish, the word "o" means "he, she, or it." But since the guy's straight and he's talking about a woman, here "o" translates to "she." So here we go.
o o herseyi kendi yanindan gorup almak istedigini alir baska sey dusunmez beni unuturdu anun her ani heyecan dolu beni uzdugu zamanlarda bile yoklugunu hissetmek beni korkuturdu ben herseyi onun icin, onun yaninda yaparken o hepsine uzaktan bakardi bir yabanci gibi her sozumu dinliyor gibi beni kandirirken icinden gecen binlerce ses bastirirdi sesimi o her gunu yeni bir umutla bekler gibi gorunur yarina inanmaz, beni avuturdu onun her ani heyecan dolu beni uzdugu zamanlarda bile yoklugunu hissetmek beni korkuturdu.
she she would see everything from her side get what she wanted wouldn't think of anything else would forget about me every moment for her was excitement-filled even when she upset me sensing her absence would scare me while i would do anything for her, by her side she would look at all of it from a distance, like a stranger as if she was listening to my every word she'd fool me thousands of voices inside her would quiet me she seemed like she waited for every day with a new hope wouldn't believe in tomorrow, would comfort me every moment for her was excitement-filled even when she upset me sensing her absence would scare me.
That's it. Now imagine that sung with really happy music.. like those ones in commercials where they're advertising fresh 100% fruit juice, no preservatives, and you see these children running around in fields or backyards, drinking fruit juice.. and the mom is just watching them from inside.. reminds me of that kind of music! Anyway, doesn't seem like much, but believe me -- it's horribly depressing with a combination of happy sappy major music and sad, sad lyrics. *sob* Hm, I bet people are wondering why I bothered writing all this just about now. So I better leave. Hehe.. bye! By the way, sorry if the lines don't match up. Nobody cares if they do anyway. :)
I've been thinking really hard to say something interesting on my blog, but I haven't come up with anything yet, sorry. posted by Melike at 15:38
Today was a crazy day, but not as crazy as last Friday. My mom and I went to the beach today, and I got home at 5:00 and found a message in my answering machine from Eva that invited me to see Cats and Dogs.. and I'd actually wanted to see that movie.. I was almost going to cry because I got home too late and I had tons of chemistry to study for tomorrow's test, but somehow I convinced my mom and, using my bikini top as a bra, threw some clothes on and rushed over there with a head of tangled hair. (The beach was really windy today -- it was very frustrating.) Yay!! It was soo funny.. *snickers* How cute! And the villain didn't die for a change! YAY!! Okay, you know how I said the whole Teoman cd is about break-ups? Well okay, I lied, there's this one song at the end.. but that's sad too.. I really like it though, it sounds.. cool.. it reminds me of a documentary that'd appear on the Travel Channel or something where they take you to small traditional villages in Turkey, etc.. I dunno, it just reminds me of that! It's called "Ogul" and it's a poem about a guy who comes back home and asks, "Mom, I came back home, are you still there to lean against? Mom, I came back home, your useless son." It's very cool and the mood.. is.. like.. whee. There are other cool songs in there, but I'll talk about those later. I hope I'll do well in that chem test. I've been studying ever since I got home. *smiles* Yay chem! Yay school! I got a nice tan again today, and I am getting yet blonder.. when will it stop? :) posted by Melike at 01:25

I'm listening to the new Teoman cd I got.. Well I got two, "O" and "Onyedi" but I've been listening to "O" last night and today. It's nice.. although I gotta watch out. It can easily make me burst into tears when I'm not feeling so happy. I wanna listen to "Onyedi" next. The first time I listen to a cd I just want to follow along with the lyrics and get a sense of what the songs are about. Then, after I've listened to it once, I can do other stuff, like homework and online stuff. *smiles* Man.. all these songs are so depressing.. They're all about breakups. The guy must have been going through some hard times while composing these songs. They're nice though... That's it for now.. posted by Melike at 13:06
