Look! An update!

Jul 31, 2004 21:50

Feels like it has been ages since I last wrote in here, and I have noticed that it has been even longer since I wrote something substantial. I don't know the reason behind this reservedness. It is not as if I have been writing in my paper journal either. So I guess this is just a phase I am going through, and honestly, I don't know if I will begin ( Read more... )

glad to know you're still around :) yeah, the internet takes up waaaay too much time in so many people's lives. i'm trying desperately to not allocate a lot of my time to it. i'm doing better, though. anyway.... just glad to see an update from you.

Hi Lace! Thanks for the comment. It is nice to hear from you too. :) I know I ignored my LJ a lot, and I will try to be better about it. I am not promising, but I will still be reading your journals even if I don't write something myself. I have to admit it sometimes feels a bit weird doing this though. I feel like a lurker, heh. Maybe I should write about trivial stuff now and then.

By the way, I am sorry about your dog. :( Hope he gets better. Thought of taking him to a vet?

Take care!

What have you been reading? I've gotten too far away from that love and am looking for new books/authors to bring me back! Glad to see your update!

Hi Jenn! Nice to hear from you too. I am about to finish the second book already, heh. I wish I could recommend the author to you, but she is Turkish. :) The books are a compilation of her newspaper articles, and TV show scripts. She is a very smart and funny lady. I think you'd really enjoy her writings too. Too bad she writes in Turkish, eh? Maybe I should contact her to see if she would consider having her books translated into English, heh. ;)

By the way, a belated congrats on your engagement! Hope everything is going well. :)

Take care!

Thank you! It's funny... I always tend to write about the negatives in my life, to get them out of my system... so I'm sure people who know me only from LJ think, "why's she marrying that creep!?" Things are actually quite good! That's too bad about your author... Are you sure she's never been translated? Hmm... perhaps I'll just have to learn Turkish!

freaky_turkey August 3 2004, 00:53:37 UTC

Heh, perhaps. ;) I am sure she's never been translated, because she has only written two books so far, the first one last year, and the last one a few months ago. Then again, I doubt foreigners would find her writings as humorous as we do since she writes about culture-specific subjects. :)

I admit I was surprised to hear about your engagement after reading about your frustrations. But I never thought he was creepy, hehe. Good to hear things are actually quite good. Hope it stays that way, and you experience less negativity to write about in your LJ. ;)

She's Back!! heh..you are not the only one who doesn't update much anymore..I have been trying to center myself too...and that meant getting offline and out into the real world. At least we still communicate through email...too bad my online chat does not work at my office...
Glad you are getting better too!

freaky_turkey August 2 2004, 05:58:19 UTC

Thank you. :) Yeah, we can't chat anymore, but at least we can e-mail each other.

Guess I will try to update more often even if it means writing about trivial stuff. :p

Sounds like you're doing well, which is the main thing. Don't force an LJ comeback as long as it doesn't feel right. I've been much less active myself too, lately, although this month I find myself posting again. It comes and goes, just go with the flow.

freaky_turkey August 2 2004, 06:02:58 UTC

I know. :) .. Yeah, I kind of forced myself to update my journal on Saturday, but I think it was a good idea to let people know that I am still around. ;)

I know you have been less active online too, but you are busier in real life more than ever, so you have a good excuse. I think, when some people get more busy lives, the online world loses its appeal after a while. At least, that's the case with me, heh.

Hope you are enjoying your alone and quiet time at home! Cherish it when you can, heh. ;)

i_am_angieface August 1 2004, 16:42:55 UTC

Its good to "see" you.

Ive missed you!!!

*HUGS*

freaky_turkey August 2 2004, 06:07:44 UTC

Aww, I have missed you too! Wish we could have hung out more often when I was there. At first, I was not feeling well enough, and then you got busy. Oh well... Dunno why I am saying this now again after all these months, but I just realized that I missed you too, heh.

Hope the weather is not too hot over there, and you are feeling good.

Just do me a favour and try to take it easy and go with the flow without expecting too much. I know this is easier said than done, but believe me, it is the only road to happiness. ;)

*hugs*
