Been A While.

It definitely has been a while. I took a lil' break from everything, and basically been living indoor for the time being. In some ways it helped me, and in some ways this make-shift runaway made me even more nervous, because it has an ending and now I'm there.

School's back on monday. I gotta move back to dorm, leave the comfort of my family's place. Well I definitely missed living alone, living by my own rules but this feels like a goodbye, in some ways, and I despise good-byes. I don't even know when will I be back here again, last semester I didn't even visited once for 4 months.

There are good things happening too. In my time off, I've done lots of things. I decided to practice on my illustrations, and came quite a way on digital art. You can take a look at them if you want, I also started an art blog.

I've been definitely reading a lot. Both literary, and comics-wise. Found almost every issue of Sandman, (trust me, I've spent a fortune - time and money combined) and this is a huge deal because in Turkey you can't easily find comics in their original languages. I'm following the Walking Dead, Sex Criminals, Thor (2014, female story arc), Star Wars, Copperhead and Lil Depressed Boy at the moment. It's a great hobby, helps me take my mind off of things.

My stay here was perfect when it comes to dinners. My family has finally fully accepted my decision of becoming a vegetarian (it's been 1 year) and they filled me up with plenty of veggies. Also, my uncle recently started getting nauseous after eating any kinda meat, so I'm not alone being a veggie-head. It's funny, cause he was the one making the most fun of me not eating meat. I'm the one who's laughing now.

Wonder if my depression and weekly schedule would let me feed myself when I'm alone.

Speaking of food, I've recently started YourTea Tiny Teatox. It's my 3rd day, and so far I'm feeling good. It's 3 times a day, 30 minutes before dinners. Which is great because my stomach always has hard time processing food, and this tea helps me feeling like I've eaten a healthy lunch, and not a bag of rocks.

Before I go, I have some songs to share I've been listening to over and over again lately. It happened to be a nice, calm playlist you can listen to when you're reading, studying or getting ready to sleep.

Hope everyone's doing good!

ps: I've no idea how to embed an 8tracks playlist on blogger, something's not right with the iframe they generate.

Books, Books.

Lately I've been reading regularly again, and to keep things excited I reed in English and not my foreign language. These are my recent purchases. I've finished An Abundance of Katherines By John Green and halfway through The Diary of a Nobody by Geroge & Weedon Grossmith. I didn't know when I bought it but that book is actually written in 1892. It has a unique sense of humor and I'm definitely delighted by it. It tells the adventures of an ordinary man, his wife and their friends.

As for A Brief History of Time, I read it because of my major. They don't teach you these kind of stuff in college, they give you the rules, theorems, the basics and stuff and the rest of it is up to you. So I do some scientific reading apart from the lectures, to have a deeper understanding of the topic and to know about different ideas of unique scientists.

Coming back to An Abundance Of Katherines, I have to say I am once again amazed by John Green. I have read all of his books (besides Will Grayson, Will Grayson which I've already ordered online) and I think this one is my second favorite. The characters were -as always- very realistic and well written, but what I like about the most is the anagrams and the math in the book. It's unusual and gives the book a rare texture.

As for my very first favorite of Green, it is by far Looking For Alaska. That book means so much to me and I don't think that there would be a book by Green that is more beautiful than Alaska. I know, it has been popularized so much that maybe it lost its meaning to some of you, but I keep that book in a different place in my heart that no matter what it will always be special to me.

So that's it from me people, what about you? What are you reading now, or what was the last book you've finished?

Finally a Nice Saturday, After A Long Time
