Hey, I can't believe somebody would ask about me, lol
And I really don't know why I haven't seen this before..
Anyway, I'm 22 years old. Moved around a lot because my father was in the Navy - and because of this we lived in Virginia, USA between 92-95, and I had to start school there with no English. In 2nd grade, my teachers made me take some tests - the reason was that they thought I was mentally challenged because I never would do the assignments they gave me, but that was because I was bored. I could've told them if they'd just asked
Anyway, I was found to be "gifted" and was transferred to a different school. Then we came back to Turkey, and I lived some of the worst years of my life. Things changed, and it's a little better now, although I really don't like life itself.
I've always wanted to be a computer engineer, but due to childish stupidity and bad choices, I'm a 5th year/4th grade med student, in a military medical school - but I'm getting myself kicked out because I don't want to be in the army anymore. I'm hoping to be able to transfer to a normal med school.
Like DH, I don't see a point in small talk and social gatherings. I'm introverted, but I like going out with friends. I'm pretty emotional, faithful, and always try to do the right thing. Ladies like me for these qualities but I've never had any luck with them, because I don't really like the "hey, how you doing" talk. I broke up with my girlfriend, whom I had been together for a year, about a month ago. I most probably have bipolar disorder (still haven't gone to a doctor, schoolmates say so) and am currently in the manic state.
I love music, I play the guitar. I could say that I have a band - my bro plays the drums, my cousin plays bass, we jam together. I'm trying to start a band at school, and to play in our end-of-the-year concert but nobody is as enthusiastic as me, and you just can't
make people play. However, I haven't given up on this band thing yet.
Other than music, I love reading (I like either mysteries, or stuff that makes me think), watching movies (I like either mysteries, or stuff that makes me think) playing games (I, too, don't have any friends who like to play as much as I do - except my bro and cousin), and sports - soccer, especially (I support Fenerbahce, they're currently in the 2nd round in the European Champions League - that means they're in the last 16 in the tournament). I also like American football, and support the Redskins.
I've been a member of this community since the nintendodolphin.net days. I'm proud of this, and say it every chance I get.
And that's that, I guess.. Almost a biography. Whew.. Now let's talk about Turkey..
You could say that Turkey is a pretty nice place, if you've got money. It's a great place for sightseeing, and the natural and historical beauty is probably unrivaled, especially in the western and southern coasts.
The north-western, western, southern and the central parts of Turkey are pretty well-developed, especially Istanbul (a northwestern city), Ankara (a central city) and Izmir (a western city). However, the eastern and south-eastern parts are very under-developed, and have serious problems - health and transportation are the most important.
We used to be a pretty modern country, with a little Islamic fanatics sprinkled around (we are an Islamic country, but
nothing like Iran or something) but the last 10 years saw an Islamic fanatic prime minister elected, and the country has been going downhill since. The future doesn't look good with what he's trying to do. This is the Republic of Turkey, and he sure seems to think that it shouldn't be.
Besides that, we have a lot of university problems - we have a university test, the only way you can get into a university. Every year, 1,5m people take this test, and only about 200k get in. The rest, they either take it the next year, or they're just high-school graduates. Unemployment is a very serious problem here, and even if you are a university graduate, there's a big chance you won't be able to find a real job.
And..umm..I don't know what else to say.. Any specific things you were wondering about Turkey?
Aaaanndd..that's the end of my longest post ever
Thank you for reading.
Edit: Great photos, btw, DH. The first one looks very Resident Evil-ish
All of them are great though.
And GM, the music in the background was Moonlight Sonata, right? Creepy stuff that was. Also reminded me of RE.. It felt like your avatar was talking
