It's that time again. Friends Cut.  
Friends cut:
[info]_touched, [info]a_to_the_z, [info]annaology, [info]ashmanrocks, [info]awindingroad4, [info]bridget_x_alena, [info]coenzyme, [info]dreamer4life78, [info]dwarsement, [info]ech0esinmybrain, [info]elenielofnarnia, [info]franztastisch, [info]fresco_senorita, [info]genuyn, [info]green_glitter_, [info]hazel2303, [info]helloloveyoubye, [info]honeyxhello, [info]horselovergurl, [info]jate92, [info]juice_box01, [info]kelsparkly, [info]lemccartney, [info]lozzy_babe06, [info]mariannnne, [info]mary52, [info]microcutts, [info]momus, [info]nicotine_skinny, [info]prettyadorable, [info]rawkin_ur_sox, [info]scherre, [info]somersaulter, [info]soulspiritdebv, [info]spifftronica, [info]summerkaye, [info]teardropxx, [info]technococaine, [info]thusspoke

Some reasons you may have been cut:
- We've grown apart
- You're never around
- I don't read your journal (I don't think it's fair for me to not read your journal)
- I can't remember who you are (If you update once every two weeks or so, chances are I don't remember who you are.)

There are also people I cut because I figured they no longer want me on their f-list and would rather I cut them first. That being said, if you would like to be added back, please ask. At least half of these people I only cut because I figured they were just too lazy to cut me. Don't say "Oh, we'll it's up to you who's on your friends list", because that is bs. It's up to you as well. If you say that, I am going to be glad I cut you. If you're new and don't feel like I got to know you well enough - feel free to ask to be added back. This is not so much an "OMGZ NEVER WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU EVAR AGAIN", but a "Hey, I assumed you don't like me - If you do like me, say so and I'll add you back."

If you would like to know why you were cut, feel free to ask.

I live in a body like that and I won't give you any nonsense about how "looks don't matter", but it's truly heartbreaking to think of whatever you're going through. I sincerely hope it gets better, and please know that as a result of your secret, I will never take my body for granted.

When I was in 8th grade I informed my teacher that I took lithium and for the rest of the year he called me Atomic Number 3.

A few months ago I saw a postcard saying "If you're waiting for a sign, this is it. Do it. It will be amazing."

Well I did it...and while I am the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life, I'm also the happiest.

For anyone else: This is your sign.

Me, Myself and My Livejournal  

It has been ages since my last entry. It is actually weird when i reguarly check my flist all the time but i can't write an entry. I love Livejournal. I really do. I love icons and people who made them. And it is a holy place for everything related with fandom.  Just look at my icon and you will see.

Today i decided to write some of thoughts. I am a law student in Turkey and our finals have just finished. God what a nightmare. Finally summer break started for us. Last summer i was in London which was the best summer of my life. And now i am at home and making a list of what shall i do :D Also next semestr i will study in Germany /Hamburg for 5 months :D Isn' it exciting. My german is not so good so i have to learn more this summer.

And Photoshop :D I hadn't much time making arts this year. And i just wanted to lots of things and post them to my journal to keep up you guys ;)

About fangirling gosh i hooked up Doctor Who so badly i can't tell :P *SPOILER FOR SEASON FINALE* in Turkey the show isn't airing but i made some of my friends watched it. They all became Rose fan like me. Yeah i am a huge shipper of 10/ rose so sue me :P
Before the final episode i was afraid that doctor will regenarete. I don't think i can handle a new doctor. I love David Tennant and if he leaves the show i think i will quit watching the show. And i was like please please don't change. Also i wanted to see him with Rose. i knew they don't do this since Doctor is beyond human bla bla bla shit but they had very creative and fangirlsatisfacted solution. Another Doctor :D:D:D When he was created i was like omg omg two doctors :D fangirl's dream came true:P This time at the same place when he left her another doctor stayed with her and they will be together. At very moment i had an idea about another spin off. Clone Who and Rose's Adventures :P LOOOL. Even if doctor regenaretes David can play in another tv show with rose. And they can kiss too :P a real one . They do spin off for everythins so why not :P Still my heart ached when the doctor left her again. Like the rose said it isn't the samee :((
